Nova Middle School creates student schedules with careful consideration to each student’s academic level and areas of interest. In order to provide consistency for parents, students, and teachers, schedule changes will be kept to a minimum. Before making a request, please review the information below to assure that you fully understand the schedule change policy.
Requesting a schedule change:
In the rare event that a schedule change is needed, a Schedule Concern form must be submitted via the Schedule Concern Form. All Back-to-School Forms must be completed prior to School Counselors processing Schedule Concern Forms . No request may be made through personal meetings, phone calls, or emails. Once the Schedule Concern Form is submitted, the student’s records will be reviewed, and a decision will be made regarding the request.
Reason for changes:
· Student is missing a core class.
· Student was inappropriately placed based on grade level.
· Student was inappropriately placed based on skill level.
If a student received any of their elective choices from their Course Request form, no changes will be made.
Other Requests:
Nova Middle School will not change student schedules for any of the following reasons:
· Friends are in another class
· Lunch period preference
· Unaddressed behavior or academic concerns
The Schedule Concern Form will be available on the Nova Middle School website from 8/13/24 – 8/16/24.
