Guidelines for Schedule Adjustments
The staff at Cedar Falls High School believes all students can learn and need to be in challenging and rigorous classes. Students are responsible for determining and accepting the course of study for which they register. They must plan very deliberately, always keeping in mind high school requirements , individual interests and post secondary plans.
Schedule adjustments will be made for academic reasons only. Parent permission will also be required but does not guarantee a schedule adjustment.

How Do I Make a Schedule Adjustment Request?
1. Students can visit their counselor during a release/study hall, before school, during their lunch or power hour, and/or after school. Please note that our counseling team encourages students to take full advantage of instructional time; therefore students should not stop by the counselor's office during class time without a pass from a teacher. A schedule change is carefully reviewed and will take time.
2. If a student cannot visit his/her counselor during the indicated times above, the student can email his/her counselor. Contact information can be found here.
