Schedule Change Policy and Form

Per the Guntersville Middle School Handbook - the Schedule Change Policy is as follows:

7.4. Schedule Change Criteria and Procedures

Student changes in schedules are very disruptive to student learning, structure, and accurate grade reporting. Therefore, Guntersville Middle School limits student schedule changes at the semester and only with certain required criteria for accepted schedule changes. Priority is given to schedule changes for the following reason in descending order: (1) Immediate Safety Concern; (2) Academic/MTSS Need;  (3) Extracurricular/CTE need. ALL CHANGES MUST BE APPROVED BY THE GMS ADMINISTRATION TEAM.
