Dear Crusader Parents and Students,

I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to the 2021-2022 school year. I pray that you are enjoying a restful summer and refueling for a challenging and enjoyable school year. We plan to build on the positive energy of the 2020-2021 school year and look forward to having our students on campus for our first day of classes, August 16, 2021. Thank you for trusting us as we cultivate productive, confident, compassionate, and faith-filled relationships that will last a lifetime. No matter what surprises we may face this school year, we are ready for the challenge. We will work together to continue providing excellence in the classroom while keeping student safety our highest priority.

Please review the following important information regarding the school year and click on all appropriate links. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Watch for more information in the coming weeks.

UPDATED SCHOOL CALENDAR 

• Click here to access the online school calendar and download the revised 2021-22 schedule. The school day is 7:45 am - 2:40 pm.

STUDENT SCHEDULE INFORMATION

• Student schedules are available—Please Login to Tyler SIS (Student Information System). If you have issues accessing your student's schedule, don't hesitate to contact [email protected].

Please consider the following when reviewing your student's 2021-2022 class schedule:

• Last spring, the Counseling Department visited classrooms at every grade level to discuss the course request process with students and make recommendations about course planning. The counselors also offered individual meeting opportunities (in-person or virtual) for students and parent(s) or guardian(s) that had questions or needed additional information to make informed course request decisions.
• The classes that appear on the student's schedule have met the following criteria: classes required for graduation, the student has met course prerequisites, and space availability.
• A new master schedule (what classes will be offered during what period each day) is created every year based on student course requests. While SHDHS makes every reasonable effort to accommodate a student's course requests, their final class schedule will be dictated by the master schedule.

If you or your student have concerns about their class schedule and would like to consult with a counselor about a schedule change request, please read the following information:

• There has to be a legitimate reason to submit a schedule change request. Students may not request a schedule change because they want a different teacher or want to be in a class with their friends.
• If a student requests a schedule change for legitimate reasons, SHDHS will try to honor the request but cannot guarantee it due to master schedule constraints/space availability.
• Suppose you see a 2nd choice elective on your student's schedule (for instance, your student requested Accounting for their 1st choice and Zoology/Environmental Science for their 2nd choice and the student is scheduled for Zoology/Environmental Science, it is because the Accounting course would not fit into your student's schedule. Accounting (in this case) would not be an option at this stage in the scheduling process, so your student should not submit a schedule change request.
• Any student requesting a schedule change must complete this Google Form, and a counselor will follow up with you as soon as possible.*Note - It may take 24-48 hours for the counselors to determine whether or not a schedule change is possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
