Student Schedules

Preliminary NHS Spring schedules will be posted on Parent Portal on Wednesday, January 6th. Students looking to request a schedule change for the Spring may do so with the following link (link will close Tuesday, January 12 at 8:00 am). Many schedules have changed and will continue to be revised for the Spring due to adjustments in staffing, class offerings and sizes. Please remember that we are unable to accommodate any requests based on teacher or period preferences per NHS policy. Requests will be reviewed and final schedules will be posted Tuesday, January 19th.

*Please note: IVA schedules will not be available at this time. They will notify students when schedules are ready.

Cohort Change Requests

If you would like to request a change in cohort placement, please use this link. We will accommodate requests as space is available.

A member of our counseling staff will be available during school breaks for the next two weeks near the Oak Tree to answer any general scheduling questions from students. If you would like a more detailed response, we recommend your student attend their counselor’s office hours (click for information) or email the counselor directly.
