Timelines & Information
Course Requests are dependent on availability and are not guaranteed.
- Counselors will work as quickly as possible. Please do not email counselors directly about schedule changes. All requests must be submitted using the form(s).
- Updated schedules for approved requests submitted by noon on Friday, July 31, will be viewable in Aeries on Wednesday, August 5.
- Later requests will be processed as received and must be submitted by August 7.
- Students will be contacted once a schedule update is determined.
- If a student does not see a schedule change reflected by the first day of school, they should attend the classes listed on their original schedule until notified otherwise.
Course Preference Request Information
Preference requests, including requests for AP, Honors, or Advanced courses, will be reviewed but are not guaranteed. Approval depends on available space, staffing, textbook availability, scheduling conflicts, and the student’s graduation requirements. CVHS also aligns with the College Board’s recommendation that students take no more than three AP or Honors courses per year to support a healthy balance of academic rigor and well-being.
Action Steps
What Happens After Submission:
- A counselor reviews the request for availability.
- Students must attend original classes until a change is confirmed in Aeries.
- Counselors will notify students with an email or school pass if a request is denied.
- Do not email counselors separately; use the appropriate forms only.
Course Placement Policy:
- Maximum recommendation: 3 AP/Honors courses per year.
- Advanced placement is subject to availability, staffing, and prerequisites.
Change Policy Guidelines
From the Student Handbook:
1) Mandatory Changes
- Graduation requirement needs (mainly seniors).
- Changes determined by IEP, 504, or English-language-learner proficiency.
- Programming errors on the part of the school. Be advised: course placements resulting from student failure to select back-up courses do not fall under this category. Choose back-ups during course selection thoughtfully!
- Schedule changes needed due to major and unforeseeable personal situations.
Mandatory changes are allowed as necessary, with the approval of school administration.
2) Student Proficiency Changes
- In this type of change, teacher and student agree that a class is not at the appropriate skill level for the student. It is important to note that this determination can only be made if the student has shown appropriate effort, seeking out academic supports, attempting to complete homework and classwork, and coming to school regularly.
Proficiency changes are allowed up to five days after progress reports are mailed (for quarter 1 in the first semester and quarter 3 in the second semester). These changes are conditional on course availability.
3) Changes That Are Not Allowed
- Students are not able to change courses because of a change of mind in summer or fall.
- Preferences for teachers are not allowed. If your student has a concern with a teacher, please follow the course change policy, listed below.
A student who drops a course during the first six weeks of the grading period may do so without any entry on their permanent record card. A student who drops a course after the first six weeks of the grading period shall receive an F grade on their permanent record, unless otherwise decided by the principal or designee because of extenuating circumstances.
