Helpful Resources:

CHANGING CLASSES:

SMCHS does not have an open add/drop period. The only acceptable changes to a student’s schedule will be those initiated by the teacher, counselor or administrator.


CHANGING TEACHERS:

All students are assigned to teachers and periods by the computer. The computer balances all class sizes and assigns teachers to students in a random manner. To maintain proper class balance and fairness to all, requests for schedule changes will not be made to accommodate a teacher of their choice.

Please see the SMCHS Parent / Student Handbook for details:
