Dropping and Adding Classes

Important Notice: RAHS students and families had access to view 2018-2019 class schedules on Skyward Family Access from June 4-20; middle school and parochial school students were given printed copies of their schedules at school before classes were dismissed for the summer. The deadline to request any schedule changes for Semester 1 of the 2018-2019 school year was Friday, June 29. Please contact a School Counselor and/or make an appointment to discuss a scheduling error or future plans. School counselors will also be available during district-wide registration on August 2 and August 7 from 1-7 p.m. and Skyward Family Access will be restored at that time. NOTE: Teachers, bell schedules, classroom locations, and student schedule assignments posted on Skyward for 2018-2019 are subject to change pending staffing updates and administrative decisions.

When students and families take the time to plan schedules for the following school year, they pass that information along to the RAHS School Counseling department, who in turn, puts a great deal of effort into creating schedules to best meet the needs of students. With this in mind there will be very few schedule changes. There needs to be a compelling reason for a change to take place.

• A student may request a schedule change with the School Counseling Department.
• Before the School Counseling will change the schedule of a student with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), the student must first receive approval from the student's Case Manager.
• Students will be allowed to drop a class within three weeks of the beginning of each semester.
• A withdrawal request after three weeks will result in a "W" on the student's transcript.
• A withdrawal request after one quarter will result in a "W" if the student is passing the course or a "WF" if the student is failing the course on the student's transcript. The "WF" will be factored into the student's grade point average (GPA).
• Administration will make the final decision on all schedule change requests.
• Seniors: If you have already submitted your transcript and/or application to a college, it is important that you contact the college admissions office before dropping a class to determine if the schedule change could impact your admission status.
