Complementary Course Switch Requests

Starting today (Friday),  Ms. MacDonald will be opening up a brief window for the possibility of complementary course change requests for Semester 2.

Ms. MacDonald will only be able to accept your request if: 

1. If there's room in the class

2. The class is a good fit for you & you are a good fit for the class; and

3. If she can do a direct swap of students (someone has to LEAVE the class you want to enter)

Additional info: 

-The window for requests will be open Friday-Wednesday (Jan 29) end of day. Forms will be in the office starting Friday morning

-If you don't hear from Ms. MacDonald, it means she is unable to make the switch happen for you 

-She will call down students next week if she is able to meet your request or if she wants to discuss your request further with you

You should NOT be filling in course change requests during class time. You can pick it up at lunch or after/before school.
