✅ Incorrect grade-level course placement
✅ Missing classes (less than 7 periods)
✅ Eligibility for the next course level based on completed prerequisite virtual courses

Please note:
• Requests for teacher changes will not be considered.
• Elective requests may be submitted but will be addressed after core scheduling concerns.

📣 ¡Atención, padres de estudiantes de secundaria (Middle School)!
Nuestro objetivo es elaborar horarios que satisfagan de la mejor manera las necesidades académicas de sus hijos.

✅ Asignación a un curso de nivel de grado incorrecto
✅ Clases faltantes (menos de 7 períodos)
✅ Elegibilidad para el siguiente nivel de curso basada en la finalización de cursos virtuales prerrequisitos

Tengan en cuenta lo siguiente:
• No se considerarán solicitudes de cambio de profesor.
• Se pueden enviar solicitudes relacionadas con asignaturas optativas, pero estas se atenderán después de resolver los asuntos pendientes sobre las asignaturas troncales.
• Se prevé que los horarios definitivos estén listos para el 6 de agosto de 2026.
