[Counselors] Building master schedule

Fri Dec 1 10:07:32 CST 2017

We have 2 counselors and we work with the principal to come up with a draft for the master schedule and then we make any necessary changes as we encounter issues with it when actually scheduling.

I build the schedule then the administration gives input and guidance.  They usually change it after all is said and done.

Me and the other counselor put together the master schedule based on input from the principal.  I have been working on schedules for 4 years with the same principal so I usually know what he wants to do.  Towards the end of the spring semester we sit down with the principal and assistant principal and go over the master.

I have done the entire schedule for the past three years but always submit it to my administrators for suggestions and approval.

I'm the Middle School and High School Counselor and I build the Master schedule for both.

I have had 3 counselor jobs.  Each building has been different for this process.  In one school I did everything except set up the computer.  In my 2nd school I did all of it.  In my 3rd school, I am only involved with online enrollment of students.

Mixed!  Until last year I had verbal input but the principal took care of the schedule.
Last year it was all my responsibility for 7-12.  I did ask for input and recommendations from staff.
Next year, hopefully the principals will be involved as we are going back to a seven hour schedule. Start from scratch.
I think it helps when principals are involved. Ultimately they have the last say!

I am in charge of the master calendar at my district. I ask for input from the administrative staff and then build the schedule from any upcoming changes. I have been doing the schedule for three years now.

Verbal input

I am in charge of our master schedule every year. Last year was my first year to create the master so I am not experienced very well yet. I would love input as well.

Good afternoon.  I work in Hugo at the High school.  They ask my opinion, but it many times gets changed for athletics.

I've been in a school where I did the entire schedule.  I’ve been in a school where I had no input as to what was taught and when it was taught. Both have their pros and cons.

Question:

How many of the counselors on this board are involved in the process of building the Master schedule each year?  If you are involved can you explain your level of involvement?  Just verbal input or build the entire thing on your own?
