2nd semester begins on Monday, January 29, 2024.  In preparation, students are encouraged to review their new schedule in Skyward. If a schedule correction is needed, please complete the online Schedule Correction Form (linked below). Request may be made between January 22 – 31st

Corrections will be addressed in the order they are received through the request form. Please do not email your schedule correction. That will slow down the process.
