How can i get my Freshman Schedule Changed?

Question

I am a freshman this year. I got my schedule today and I really don't like the classes I got. I hate eating really early, and I got lunch 1 so it is earlier in the day. I get horrible stomach aches, and I feel like I am going to puke if I eat too early. Lunch is about an hour later for the second lunch so i think that would be better. So I want to get that changed. They put me in an Honors Algebra and I just wanted to take regular algebra. My teacher last year put me in honors. I don't think i would do good in honors. Then they game me Music theory. I wanted music appreciation, plus the fact in music theory they make you sing, learn music, and I have no singing level whats so ever. I just wanted to get my fine arts credit out of the way. I originally signed up for Music Appreciation anyways. How can i get my schedule changed? Are my reasons good enough to get out of them?

Answer 1

Talk to your counselor within the first week of school and see if there are any openings in Music Appreciation, if not you're just going to have to stick it out.  Also ask if you can switch into regular Algebra.  Since you're switching classes your lunch will probably switch too.  But unfortunatley most schools dont allow students to switch their lunch based on personal preferences.  Good luck.    

Answer 2

Changing your lunch period is probably the most difficult unless you have a doctors note./

Speak or in some schools you need to write to your guidance counselor requesting the  changes. Make certain that you give the reasons.
