Note to Parents and Students: Completing and submitting a schedule change form DOES NOT guarantee a change to your schedule. Schedule changes will not take place the first day of school and may take up two weeks.

Deadline for completing and submitting a Schedule Change form is Wednesday, August 24th.

To request a schedule change, please click here: SCHEDULE CHANGE REQUEST FORM

Parents and students please know schedule changes will only be made for the following reason: 

• School Error - schedule is missing a required class

• Level change - before any level schedule changes (i.e. a Accel Math/Pre-AP course to a regular course) are considered, the following interventions and/or strategies are required:

Attend tutorials before and/or after school
Attend class daily 
Complete missing assignments
Schedule a parent-teacher conference

The grades earned at the previous level of the course will transfer with the student to the new course.

FAILING A CLASS? THINGS YOU SHOULD DO: 

According to district policy, to earn credit in a course, a student must receive a grade of at least a 70. Failing a  class for the year will require summer school to be taken. Summer school will cost a fee.

Follow Steps Below If Your Grade Falls Below a 70:

• Sign up for the online gradebook by accessing "Parent Gradebook" via VISD's home page under "Parent" tab Parent Gradebook

• Request help from parents, teachers, and counselors

• Attend tutoring / homework center

• Don't allow for missing assignments/tests - Zeros drag your grade down tremendously

• Improve Study Skills - pay attention, participate, ask questions, study for tests, attend class regularly

• Get Organized!!
