Important Enrollment Reminders
- You are completing course requests. Your requests may not be your final schedule, nor can counselors assure that you will be scheduled into everything you choose.
- Choose wisely! Only approved schedule changes can be made once your schedule has been built.
Schedule changes can be approved for the following reasons:
- Incorrect core class
- Replacing a class you took during summer school
- Program change (ex. no longer in band/orchestra)
- Missing a prerequisite
Per the JHS Student Handbook, changes cannot be made based on teacher preference, class, and/or lunch hour request.
Enrollment Form Tips
- Pay close attention to the directions at the top of the worksheet. Ranking your electives will help counselors place you into the classes you want the most.
- Pay close attention to which grade levels are eligible to take the course.
- The legend near the bottom of the worksheet provide notations that describe if a class is required for a certain program; if you must take another class before you are able to enroll; or if teacher permission is required to enroll.
- When writing class choices, make sure you have chosen classes that fulfill your requirements, fill your schedule completely, and fill both semesters completely.
- Both parent & student signatures are required. Students with completed forms (including signatures) will be given priority enrollment.
- IMPORTANT: The school’s Master Schedule is built from student requests, therefore schedule changes will only be made when school starts per school policy.
