SMS Counselors are working on leveling 2nd semester courses as well as fixing issues with schedules that have conflicts or are incomplete. If there is a problem in your schedule then you will be called down in the weeks to come to discuss. Please listen for your name on the intercom and/or come to our office when sent a pass.

 

Schedule changes are granted, if space allows, assuming you meet one of the following requirements:

 

  • You are missing a graduation requirement.
  • Your schedule is incomplete or a class is duplicated.
  • You are enrolled in a course that you have already completed and received credit.
  • You are enrolled in a course for which you have not met the prerequisite.
  • You have a physical injury that does not allow participation in a course.
  • You have a signature program error or conflict.
  • A teacher has recommended you for a course or has changed his/her recommendation.
  • You wish to increase or decrease the rigor of your schedule- assuming space is available.

 

All requests needed to be submitted through the google form before Friday Dec. 6th. 

No requests will be taken via email or phone.

 

This form has been available the past few weeks in your Grad Year google classroom, the SMS Counseling website, and in the Raider Family Focus Newsletter.

 

Here are the Grad Year Google Classroom Codes if you are not currently following:

 

Class of 2023-  x0ixyj2

Class of 2022-  nxrp58

Class of 2021-  ax6mno

Class of 2020-  vx1qyy

 

 

Reminder- Schedule Changes are very unlikely if you simply have changed your mind or want a specific teacher or hour unless you have extenuating circumstances.

 

Again, the Deadline to request a potential schedule change is Friday, December 6th.
