Schedule Change Practices
Coppell High School is pleased to be able to offer a wide variety of programs and courses for our learners. Selections during registration determine how many teachers and sections will be needed for a course. The Master Schedule is developed in the spring prior to the upcoming year. The process allows administrators to plan and hire for optimum academic strength. When learners are permitted to randomly change schedules, teachers and classrooms are not effectively utilized. As a result, all learners are affected, and even the most effective planning is compromised. Very seldom does a single course-change affect only one course. Careful selections benefit everyone. Thank you for being a crucial part of our educational team as we work together for student success.
Registration
Parent and learner informational meeting will be held during the Spring Open House.
Learners will be guided through course selection with their counselor to confirm course selection.
Learners who do not submit Course Requests will have a schedule arranged for them by their counselor according to their academic needs and/or graduation plan.
Schedule changes will be allowed within the guideline and timeframes below.
