Scheduling Process at Ephrata Senior High School
Course Selections Process:
Students receive a copy of the Course Selection booklet during their class
scheduling meeting (during their Science class). They are then to look over booklet, discuss courses
with current teachers (get recommendations), discuss options available with
parents, then final complete the copy of the Course Request form.
Counselors will then meet with them during their Social Studies class to go over
selections and input requests into the computer. One goal of the High
School Guidance/Admin team is to provide students with schedules before leaving
for summer vacation.
Important Course Request Related Worksheets:
The below forms must be completed before April 1st .
-
Teacher Recommended Course Request Change Form - This form is required to be submitted for any Math, Science, or Language Arts courses that were recommended by your teacher. Please consider these changes very carefully, as your teacher based your recommendation on your current performance as well as knowledge about next years course requirements.
-
General Course Request Change Form - Use this form to change your request for any "other" course (before April 1st)
Withdrawl from a Course
A student is expected to remain in a selected course for it's full
term. Courses dropped after the end of the first fifteen school days will result in
the student receiving a failing grade as noted with a "WF" (withdrawal
failing) grade noted on the report card and student transcript.
Schedule Changes
Careful attention to course selection is absolutely essential. Each student’s course requests will be considered complete as of April
1st. Effective for the 2012-13 school year, there will be no course request changes without just cause.
Possible reasons for schedule changes beyond this date, include:
-
A student's schedule is incorrect due to:
-
Alteration, without his/her knowledge, to facilitate the creation of the master schedule
-
A computer / data entry error
-
An unbalanced schedule (ex: students have two study halls 1st semester and none 2nd)
-
Class enrollments are disproportionate
-
-

The student may appeal the counselor's decision to the principal.
