    Students are not able to change their schedules at any point during the summer or during the school year unless there is an extenuating circumstance--for instance, if a student is scheduled to take Spanish 3 but has never taken Spanish 2.  Extenuating circumstances do not include making requests for particular teachers, particular lunch blocks, or to schedule friends into the same classes.  Thank you for your understanding.
