As the school year slowly starts rolling into full speed, Lafayette students have to get comfortable with everything before they can really settle down with the reality that summer is over.

The big boundary to leap for most students is their schedule, making sure that everything is up to par with what they want for the school year.
Once students receive their schedules and have enough time to examine them, realizations on what they’d like change come about. Some students simply realize their requests from last May have changed or simply have a mishap in their schedule, this is where the schedule changing process comes into play.

If all cards are played correctly the process to change a student’s schedule isn’t too grueling, but there are plenty of factors to take into question.

Students are advised to pick up the schedule change form from the guidance and counseling office, located in Room 123. They should list what classes to be changed, the classes to replace those and have the sheet certified with a parent’s signature. No exceptions will be made with the parent’s signature; if a form is unsigned the student’s request will be denied.

All changes regarding schedules must go through this procedure, whether there is a mistake with the schedule (blank hour, two classes the same hour, no prerequisite, seniors needing a class for graduation) or just a simple request.

After the first day of school, counselors will make semester class change requests with parent permission through the first 5 days of the semester. Therefore, August 23rd is the last day students may make changes. Students are advised to come into the counselors office during the hour they would like to change.

Year-long classes and level changes must be approved by the grade level principal.
