Schedule Changes
Schedule changes for high school students for the 2nd semester will begin next week. You can sign up at Mrs. Wilson's door. Please note that many changes cannot be made at this time of year since most courses are full-year commitments. Specifically, for 7th and 8th grades, Art, Band, and Choir are full-year classes and will not be changed at the end of the semester. Additionally, no schedule changes will be allowed after we return from the Christmas break.
