SCHEDULE CHANGES

It is very important that students and parents give careful consideration to selecting appropriate courses. The choices students make on the course selection sheets determine the master schedule of course offerings available. The master schedule, though never perfect, is designed to maximize student opportunities and minimize scheduling conflicts. In order to provide staff and schedule efficiently, student schedules will not be changed to select different teachers, lunch periods, a previously selected elective, or a course in which the student enrolls with a waiver. Schedule corrections will be considered during the first five class meeting days of each semester and only if a student fails to satisfy prerequisites, if the school has made an error; if a scheduling conflict exists; for a student who successfully completes summer school, correspondence courses, and/or credit-by-exam; or for other compelling educational circumstances. Since parents are involved in the initial selection of courses, requests for changes in schedules should be signed by parents.

 All schedule changes must be approved by the principal or designee. To correct a scheduling error, schedule changes do not require parent signature. Requests to change a schedule after the first five class meeting days will only be considered for a compelling educational circumstance. The student and parent requesting the change must meet with a school counselor to discuss implications. Following the counselor conference, the campus scheduling committee will meet to review the request and make a recommendation to the campus principal or designee. Final approval for a change must be given by the Principal or designee.

HOME ACCESS CENTER (HAC)

The Home Access Center is a browser-based student information system that allows parents/guardians and high school students to view student information such as demographics, attendance data, class schedules, discipline incidents, student progress, and report card grades. In addition, the Home Access Center allows the student and counselor, at the secondary level, to monitor toward the student’s four-year high school plan on-line.

 Each student will have a password to access his/her own data. Parents will receive a password for each of their students. Instructions for obtaining the passwords are posted on HAC page on the District’s website: www.roundrockisd.org. The HAC serves to improve communication among parents, students, and school counselors regarding high school graduation and college planning. It serves to help students and parents monitor progress toward the selected graduation plan throughout the year.
