Study Hall or Free Period
While many students find a full period study hall or free period valuable, some would like the option to take another class during this time. At the start of each trimester, some students drop courses for a variety of reasons. These actions open seats in previously filled courses. Students with a full period study hall or a free period (juniors/seniors) have the option to meet with their school counselor to see if there are courses available during these times. Courses must be added to student schedules within a specific number of school days. See below for additional details as defined on page 23 of The Handbook for Students and Parents.
*Deadlines for ADDING a course:
- 1.00 credit courses must be added within the first 20 school days of the course.
- 0.50 credit courses must be added within the first 10 school days of the course.
