Schedule Change Policy

 

 

We will only be able to address the following issues:

  • Seniors who are missing a graduation requirement and the student is not already scheduled for it.
  • A student has a hole in his or her schedule, meaning that a period is missing.
  • A student is scheduled for a class for which they have already received credit.

We will also review off-campus and on-campus placeholders; however, we may not be able to change schedules to accommodate placeholders. Placeholders will begin at the end of the day after 3rd period (4th, 5th, or 6th periods only). We do not allow placeholders at the beginning of the day (1st period) due to security procedures at JWMHS. It is highly recommended that students have no more than 3 classes off campus during the school day.

We will not be able to change the following requests:

  • Lunch period changes
  • Teacher changes
  • Elective changes
  • Honors to Regular changes
  • Regular to Honors changes

Our classes are very full, and there is not a lot of room in any of the classes and we must abide by class size requirements.

When a schedule change is approved there is no guarantee that other classes, teachers, lunch assignments, and class schedule order will be maintained.

If a student is struggling in a class, please schedule a parent teacher conference to set up a Plan For Success.  Options available for students who are struggling in a class:
 
  1. Attend Academic Lunch daily as needed
  2. Meet with your teacher before/after school for one-on-one tutoring
  3. Form a study group with other students
  4. Remediate online via Khan Academy, AP Classroom, or online textbook app through myPascoConnect
  5. Speak with your grade-level counselor/administrator for study tips/outside tutoring.
