• Scheduling Notes:

    Scheduling courses is a shared responsibility of students, parents, teachers and counselors.  Ideas and information contributed by each of these stakeholders will result in selecting an appropriate and meaningful educational program for each student.

    The Importance of Course Selection:  Parents are encouraged to discuss with your son/daughter their interests, needs, and career choices(s).  With this information, parents can help guide their child’s selection of courses, which will lead to a meaningful educational experience.  Teachers can assist in this planning by discussing and explaining their respective curriculum and courses in an effort to provide an understanding of the many options available.  Students are encouraged to ask the teachers for recommendations before enrolling in courses.  Counselors are available to assist students and parents in the process of selecting a class schedule/courses and career pathway.  Students with post-secondary plans should note the college admissions and Johnson County Community College Guidelines addressed in this guide when planning their courses.

    Schedule Changes: All students have the opportunity to select their own courses and, as much as possible, these requests have been honored. Should a student and parent/guardian decide to request a change, a form will be available from the counseling office on the 3rd day of the semester after a student attends the course for 2 days. The form must be submitted with a parent/guardian signature. A student must have a legitimate reason for making a change. Counselors and administrators reserve the right to deny or approve any schedule change request. Courses and teachers are scheduled according to students’ pre-enrollment choices.  Please note the need for students to be very serious about their enrollment choices.  Each time students change their minds, class sizes and staffing is  impacted.   Students will NOT be allowed to change teachers unless their course selection forces such a change.  Non-scheduled students and JCCC enrollment changes will take precedence over all other schedule change requests. The administration reserves the right to make course changes for academic reasons at any tim

    Schedule Change Guidelines:  Schedule changes will only be made for the following reasons:

    The student needs to enroll in a required class.

    The student has not met the prerequisites for the class.

    The student is enrolled in a class for which he/she has already received credit.

    The student has an incomplete schedule.

    A teacher recommends the student advance to a higher level course.

    **If you COMMIT to the course (by enrolling and parents signing off) and you are CAPABLE (teacher gives consent), then you are expected to COMPLETE the course.
