Class Change Policy
Springville Junior High School’s master schedule of classes is determined by student course requests, which are made during class selection in February and March. Students are expected to remain in the classes they select at that time. Many of our teachers have full classes, therefore, changing schedules is difficult and sometimes not possible.
Generally, we try to avoid unnecessary class changes due to the overall impact on the master schedule. If for some reason there is an extenuating circumstance, such as the following, please contact your counselor.
Any appeals to class change decisions need to be made in writing to the Class Change Appeal Committee made up of administrators and counselors. The forms for the appeal process are in the counseling office.
Generally, we try to avoid unnecessary class changes due to the overall impact on the master schedule. If for some reason there is an extenuating circumstance, such as the following, please contact your counselor.
- Academic misplacement, i.e. student has chosen the wrong level of class, or has chosen a class without meeting the prerequisite. A parent / student / teacher meeting is required before academic misplacement class changes can be made. If parent / student / teacher agreement is not reached, the student may submit an appeal form, as described below.
- Missing an academic class, i.e. student is missing a required core class such as English, history, math, or science.
- Personal reasons/conflicts considered only on a case-by-case basis.
