[BHS Etree] ADMIN: Schedule Changes

[BHS etree]

PLEASE do not reply to this email, contact Kristin Glenchur

Regarding schedule changes:

For those who missed registration and those who have been called notifying
them of a change of schedule, schedules will be available for pick up in
the Jacket Gym on  Monday and Tuesday August 27 and 28 from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m.
For families who have PowerSchool* access (see below), schedules will be
available for viewing  after 1:00 pm on Tuesday, August 28.   Duplicate
hard copy schedules will also be available starting at 8:00 a.m. on the
first day of school, Wednesday, August 29 in the food court located in the
Admin Building.

Regarding schedule change requests, counselors are prioritizing scheduling
new students, students with incomplete schedules, students who have been
placed in an incorrect level, and those who do not have a course that will
meet graduation or a-g requirements. Please do not call the counseling
office to check on your change of schedule request.  Your child can check
Powerschool* on Tuesday to see if we have been able to make the changes you
requested

We are also in the process of balancing classes, and, in some necessary
circumstances, students' schedules may change.  New schedules will be
delivered to classrooms, so it is very important that students attend all
classes on their schedule.  Only students with a gap, "Proctor" or a "Go to
D221" on their schedules will be allowed to see counselors, and they will
only be allowed to go during the class period in which they have a blank.

Counselors will be unavailable for drop-in appointments  8/29-9/7.
Students who wish to see their counselor for issues beyond those they've
listed on their schedule change form will not be able to until at least
Monday, September 10th. They will be busy working on schedule
changes/corrections and new student schedules. Students who wish to see
their counselor must fill out a schedule change form (available at the
table in front of the counseling office) and will be worked on in priority
order.

We appreciate your patience as we work to get all BHS students a complete
schedule.

*PowerSchool is a program which allows parents and students to access their
grades and attendance online.  Parents coming from King, Willard, and
Longfellow can access PowerSchool using last year's passwords.  Families
new to the BUSD will receive passwords in the mail along with instructions
for accessing the system.
