Students who need a timetable change to pick a new elective must sign up in guidance by the end of the day today (Friday Sept 8th). Due to the overwhelming demand of requests, it will take counsellors into next week in order to get through all of these appointments. Students who signed up by Friday's deadline should remain patient and continue to follow their original schedule until they are seen by a counsellor. Please refrain from calling or emailing requests, as counsellors are following their appointments in the order that students signed up. Thanks for your understanding!
