Class schedules for the 2019/2020 school year should be visible on Powerschool Monday, the 8th of July. We have reached the point where we believe all incomplete schedules have been filled and we are excited to release schedules for students and parents.
We have worked diligently to ensure that our students have the best schedule, within the parameters of the master schedule. If you note that there is a legitimate need for a schedule change, the schedule change form will be available digitally on July 29th.
Please take a minute to look at your YEARLONG schedule and determine if you are in classes that you need for graduation, enrolled in a course that you have already successfully completed, and your schedule is balanced. When our office uses the term balance, it means that we hope to get an even amount of academics in the fall and the same number in the spring.
For example, if you are taking four core classes this year, a balanced schedule would be one that has two core in the fall and two in the spring. If you see that your schedule for the fall has too little or too many academics, this is cause for a legitimate schedule change. The other issue you may see is there might be 2 classes in the same block and missing one in another. This is a problem that is a legitimate schedule change request.
The other reasons for legitimate schedule changes are as follows:
- need a specific course to graduate
-failed and must repeat a specific course to graduate
-earned credit for a course listed on the schedule in the regular day, summer school, on-line, etc.
-balancing (as mentioned above)
-changing levels (i.e.- regular to honors)
*If your schedule change is not for one of these legitimate reasons, please do not submit a change request form.
If you would like to request a schedule change for an AP course, please contact Eric Hamilton, AP Coordinator, at ehamilton@oconeeschools.org regarding your request on July 29th.

Please note that we do not make "change of teacher" schedule changes. Please do not ask to switch teachers.
Also, we do not make changes to put certain classes in the morning or afternoon. Please do not submit a request for this. Along with that, requesting a specific course to be first or second semester is not something that we can accommodate either.
Lastly, schedules are very tight, and we cannot guarantee that your legitimate request can be honored based upon our ability to make the changes requested.
If you fall into the legitimate parameters and wish to initiate a schedule change, please complete the digital schedule change form that will be available on July 29th. No emails or voicemails about schedule issues will be addressed. Only the digital form will be considered.
