Reedsburg Area High School

2024-2025 RAHS Class Schedules for current high school students were posted on Skyward Family Access on June 17, 2024; paper copies were provided to incoming freshmen. Students and families received emailed and Skylert notifications that the deadline to submit a semester-one schedule change request to a school counselor was June 28, 2024. After that date, changes will only be made for scheduling errors or extenuating circumstances. Please be aware that all schedules are subject to change due to administrative decisions and the majority of change requests will not likely be honored due to limited options. Students and families should confirm semester one classes schedules, teachers and room numbers on Skyward Family Access prior to the start of school in September.

Semester-two schedule change requests must be submitted to a school counselor before winter break; after this date, S2 schedule-change requests will only be considered for scheduling errors or other extenuating circumstances. Students and families are encouraged to review Skyward class schedules before second semester begins in January.

******************************************

When students and families take the time to plan schedules for the following school year, they pass that information along to the RAHS School Counseling department, who in turn, puts a great deal of effort into creating schedules to best meet the needs of students. With this in mind there will be very few schedule changes. There needs to be a compelling reason for a change to take place.

• A student may request a schedule change with the School Counseling Department; only requests received within the schedule-change window or by the posted deadlines will be considered.
  • Typically, semester one schedule change requests must be submitted to a School Counselor before the end of June and semester two requests before winter break.
  • Exceptions may be granted for scheduling errors, credit remediation, or other extenuating circumstances.
  • Within the first 5 days of a semester, courses may be added or dropped in the event of an error or extenuating circumstance. After the first 5 days, dropped courses may only be replaced with a study hall.
• Before the School Counseling will change the schedule of a student with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), the student must first receive written approval from the student's Case Manager.
• Students will be allowed to drop a class within three weeks of the beginning of each semester.
• A withdrawal request after three weeks will result in a "W" on the student's transcript.
• A withdrawal request after one quarter will result in a "W" if the student is passing the course or a "WF" if the student is failing the course on the student's transcript. The "WF" will be factored into the student's grade point average (GPA).
• Administration will make the final decision on all schedule change requests.
• Seniors: If you have already submitted your transcript and/or application to a college, it is important that you contact the college admissions office before dropping a class to determine if the schedule change could impact your admission status.
