Link to Fall Semester 2024 Schedule Change Request Form

ENCOURAGEMENT: Please read because schedule changes will be extremely limited this year. 
 
1) Students are limited to requesting a schedule change from only those classes populated in the dropdown for each period. If the class you're hoping to change into is not listed, it's not available. Please keep in mind, openings are on a first-come, first-serve-basis.
 
2) Only one request per student. Please be thoughtful - if a change is made, it will not be undone later. 
 
3) Counselors are not taking individual appointments for schedule change requests or accepting change requests via email - all requests for a schedule change must be submitted through the Google form. This form opens for submissions on August 27th and closes to submissions at 3:30pm on September 11th. 
 
Please keep in mind a student’s submission to the Google form is a request for consideration and not a guarantee for a schedule change. Counselors will prioritize schedule changes for students whose schedule is either: 1) missing a graduation requirement or 2) those who have an open period (i.e. a hole in their schedule).
 
3) All requests will be reviewed by your Counselor. Students will receive a timely email informing them whether their request has been approved or denied. Refresh your StudentVue to monitor any schedule changes. Once again, your submission is a request for consideration, not a guarantee for a schedule change. 
 
Please do not ask for a review of your 2nd semester classes, at this time. Counselors are only reviewing change requests to 1st semester. 
 
SENIORS ONLY: Seniors who request a reduced schedule (Late Arrival or Early Dismissal) are not permitted to be on-campus during their reduced period. You're responsible to get to-and-from school on your own for your modified schedule (i.e. if requesting an Early Dismissal, periods 1-6, you must leave campus at the start of 7th period).
 
Thank you,
- Your IHS Counseling Department

Message of Support for Trans Youth and Resources

In light of recent national events concerning health care for trans youth, the counseling team and mental health provider at Inglemoor want to express our concern and care for trans students at IHS.  We know that trans youth frequently experience exclusion, lack of representation, and concerns over physical safety, and that these challenges are often serious obstacles to mental/emotional well-being.  The counseling staff at IHS is committed to supporting our trans students.  Please reach out to counseling staff if you are concerned for any student facing these challenges.
