  21. Additional Information You must plan well for the entire year because courses you choose during spring registration will be FINAL. Certain electives will only be offered if there are sufficient students enrolled to warrant the formation of a class. Once your schedule has been finalized this Spring, there should be no need to change your schedule.  However, if a situation should arise in which a schedule change is needed, you will need to obtain a DROP/ADD Form from the Guidance Office and get the signatures of both teachers, AND a parent or guardian signature, before the schedule change will be made. Your registration form must be signed by a parent or guardian before you turn it in!

  22. REMINDER: • When filling out your registration worksheet, remember to put the course number AND description on your form. This will speed up the registration process. • You mustchoose at least 3 alternate classes and list them on your registration form. Do not use classes that have already been listed in your regular requests. If you do not choose alternates – we will do it for you. • It is important you make your choices carefully and bring your registration worksheet with you to the computer lab. • Before school is out in May, Mrs. Doylewill meet individually with students to resolve any schedule conflicts.
