Scheduling Letter

Dear LHS Parents: 

I hope this letter finds you enjoying the remaining days of summer! Beginning this afternoon, you may access
your child’s class schedule for the 2026-2027 school year by logging in to the Genesis Parent Access Portal. As a
reminder, required school forms must be completed in order to access your child’s schedule.

As your child furthers their high school experience, questions may arise. Our school counselors are here to
answer any questions in order to help guide your child through this process. At this time, the only schedule
changes that will be considered by the high school administration are as follows: correction of a scheduling error;
modification for graduation requirements; or adjustment for ISLO/summer school completion. No elective or
teacher changes will be considered or made.

All additional changes may be requested at the start of the second schedule change window beginning on August
26th. To request a schedule change during Window 2, 3 or 4, please use this paper form. All course change
requests will be contingent upon course availability. Please see the chart below that outlines the specific times
throughout Semester 1 in which schedule changes can be requested. Schedule change requests made during
Windows 2, 3 and 4 come at the risk of disruption to a student’s existing schedule. Efforts are made to minimize
the impact to a student's schedule; however, this cannot be guaranteed.

Change Window	Changes Permitted	How to request change?	Transcript Notation	Grade Calculation for 1st Semester
Window 2: August 31st - September 11th at 3:00p.m.	Move Up or Down in level	Paper form	None	Grade = 100% from the new course. Moving up a level: Students will make up work, including any summer assignment, within two weeks of entering the course (unless directly stated by the department). Moving down a level: Students will make up all missing work with the exception of summer assignments.
Window 3: October 2nd - October 9th at 3:00 p.m.	Move Down in level only	Paper form	None	Grade = 25% from original course and 75% from new course.
Window 4: October 29th - November 3rd at 3:00 p.m.	Move Down in level only	Paper form	“W”	Grade = 50% from original course and 50% from new course. *Any Administrative decision to make a level change at the conclusion of this window also comes with the “W” notation.

Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school counselor if you have any questions or concerns. We are
excited to begin a new school year!

Sincerely,

Dr. Mary Kate Pretto, Ed.D.                           Sinéad Crews
