High School schedules in PowerSchool have been adjusted as best as possible and are now ready for families to view. Please remember that some schedules may continue to change as things are finalized, and class numbers are balanced. Some students may notice missing classes or other scheduling conflicts that require a conversation with students or parents/guardians during the drop/add window to address. Given that it can be difficult to explain/remedy scheduling issues via email and phone calls, we ask that students and parents/guardians plan to attend drop/add on the assigned day for their grade level. If you are not available to participate in drop/add before school starts, you are welcome to bring the drop/add form to school and leave it at the front desk. Otherwise, students will have the first ten school days to adjust their schedules.
Drop/Add will run from 9:00 am-12:00 pm and 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm on the following days:
12th grade: Monday, August 7
11th grade: Tuesday, August 8
10th/9th grade: Wednesday, August 9
** 11th and 12th graders enrolled in PCC classes should check their email for the mandatory PCC student orientation information.
