semester. I have a form that must be initialed by the teacher saying they can leave or come in the class and then signed by the parent. Unless there is a pressing reason we do not allow schedule changes any other time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We are working on reviewing our policies and procedures regarding pre-enrollment and schedule changes. Can you please share your policy and procedures regarding the request of a schedule change
and the reasons you will change a schedule? Is this a written policy in your student handbook? How long do you give kids at the beginning of the year to request a schedule change and what is your process for them to request a change? What is your student enrollment?
I am thinking small schools may handle it differently than larger schools so that would be interesting to know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
