Schedule Change Policy for 2024-25

  

The KHS Master Schedule for the 2024-25 school year has been finalized based on student course requests. KHS will adhere to the following schedule change policy for the 2024-2025 school year:

• Students may not request course changes.
• Students may not request changes for teachers, class periods, or lunch periods.

 

Schedule changes will be taken into consideration under the following circumstances:

 

• There is a data entry error.
• The student completed a scheduled course in the summer of 2024.
• The student is scheduled for a course they previously passed.
• The student needs a course to meet graduation requirements.
• The student is scheduled for a course in which they do not have the prerequisites.
• The student was not placed in the appropriate level.  
• The student is scheduled for a course they did not request. (Limitations based on schedule availability)
• The student's IEP or 504 plan was amended.
• During the Fall semester, students who want to level down in AAC/AP courses will go through the district-mandated level change policy during the level-down window.
• Seniors:
  • Off-Campus: Seniors might not have been assigned their preferred Off-Campus class due to course conflicts, failing to pass all EOCs, or not meeting CCMR requirements.  
  • Students may drop a course for Off-Campus if they have five for-credit courses remaining on their schedule, meet all graduation requirements, and meet CCMR status.

 

Please email your counselor for individual questions.
