COUNSELING DEPARTMENT
The final day to request a schedule change for the school year is Tuesday, August 13th. Counselors will make all updates in Harmony by the end of the day on Friday, August 18th. Many elective classes are currently filled, but we will look into all schedule change requests made by the due date. The only requests that will not be considered are requests for a specific teacher, swapping the same class for a different period, or requests to be with friends. Students will be notified by email if their schedule change request is possible.
Students who would like to request to see their counselor should complete this Google form: EJHS Counselor Sign up. The form should only be completed using the student’s RBB email.
