Schedule Change Requests – Students may continue to request schedule changes throughout the first ten days of school – ending on Monday, Aug 24.  The Change Request is posted on the AHS Website and linked here. We will only look at teacher change requests if the student has already had that teacher for a full year previously. We will give priority to requests based on date of request, grade level of student, and whether the class requested is required for graduation. All changes are made on a space-available basis only. Do not ask teachers if you can add their class – they are not aware of the changes/requests being made. Please fill out the online form and wait to see your name on the daily list posted in front of the Counseling Office. Once you see your name, you may come in and pick up your new schedule.
