Scheduling...
Is done at the beginning of the year to place students into all their core, elective, and exploratory classes. Students are placed into classes carefully, based upon their needs and academic progress. We have several support classes for students who need extra help in core classes. We also have a limited amount of advanced courses (if students test into these courses or are recommended by their 8th grade teachers).

Schedule Changes...
- Will be considered during the first week or two of school and the first few days of a new six week period.
- Sign up with the front office to talk to me about schedule changes.
- I can not guarantee any schedule change, but I am willing to consider them on a case by case basis.
- Only legitimate academic concerns will be considered (students will not be granted a schedule change to be in a class with their friends).
- Any core schedule change will need to be approved by Mrs. Creed.
Electives..
- We have several elective options each year. They typically include Choir, Band, Above and Beyond math, Technology, and Fit for Life, but are subject to change depending on teachers, availability, etc.
Exploratory's...
- Are a 7th period option that allow students to explore new content, widen their knowledge, and develop new skills.
- When your child fills out their forecasting sheet they need to pick 9 classes they think they would enjoy, would challenge them to try something new, or could introduce them to a career option for their future.
- We have a lot of students who come to our school so students should not expect to get into every class they sign up for. We have a limited number of seats in each class, so when one gets full students will have to be placed elsewhere. When his happens it opens up the possibility for students to experience content out of their comfort zone.
- These 7th period exploratory's change every 6 weeks. We typically do not allow schedule changes for these classes because they are such a short duration and it is a time for students to explore and try new things.
