Welcome Back Nobles!
We hope you had a great first day of school. If you have questions regarding your schedule, please make sure to fill out a green Request For Schedule Change form. We will only be making schedule changes the first week of school.
A good rule of thumb to help you decide if you need a schedule change is if you have two math classes, two English classes, etc or you don't have a math, English, PE class etc. We will not make changes based on your teacher preferences. Please be advised that most classes are full.
Pick up and turn in your Request For Schedule Change form in the Main Office. Your counselor will respond by the next day.
