Class Choice information

Class Choice is now closed for the 23/24 school year!

We understand this video has an older version of an RHS schedule, (5 hrs and adv. VS the current 6 period day).
The process is still the same to make changes in your schedule.
Watch for a new Video soon!

Class Choice will be open to students for
schedule changes during the summer.

Your student logs in to their PowerSchool to access Class Choice, it must be through your
student's PowerSchool, not a parent account.
We will not be opening up Class Choice for schedule changes during the school year. All changes for the year should be made before school starts, with class choice in the summer.
  • There is a NEW Schedule change form that is required during the school year. Student and their Parent/Guardian must complete the form and return it to the counseling office.  The change will only be made if the change meets the criteria and an open seat is available. Forms are to be turned in at least 1 week prior to the start of the trimester in which the class is in.
  • Teacher changes must have completed a Teacher Change Request Form (link below) to request a teacher change. As with any schedule change, the change will only be made if the change meets the criteria and an open seat is available.
  • No schedule changes will be made after the 3rd day of the trimester.
  • Freshman and Sophomores will keep the same teacher for the full year in Algebra I, Geometry, English 9, and English 10.

Please take note of the following: Class change info.
  • When your student logs in to PowerSchool (to access Class Choice it must be through your student's PowerSchool, not a parent account) please disregard any text about entering class requests; your students requests are made in the spring of the previous year.
  • Once changes are made in Class Choice, it does not automatically update your student's schedule to view in PowerSchool. Know that whatever schedule they create in Class Choice is accurate. Their adjusted schedule will roll into PowerSchool when the class change window is closed. 
  • In order to move a class from one period to a new period, hover over it to see available trimesters, periods & seats. Your student will then drop the class they are wanting to move from its current spot. Then they will go to the hour that they would like to have that class, click the edit button. The new class will then be visible in the drop-down menu for the desired period, and once they enter it in that period, hit the save button at the bottom.
  • Your student may have one or more holes in their schedule. This is due to a variety of factors such as: Your student may not have requested enough classes or your student may not have been able to take one of his/her requested classes because the class is full. Your student will need to fill all holes in his/her schedule.
  • If a class is full, it is full. Your student can keep checking while class choice is open to see if anyone has dropped it, thereby making it available for them to select. The Counselors do not have the ability to overfill courses to "fit them in".
  • Once your student drops a class, someone else might take it, so make sure they've located the class they want instead & that they are truly willing to drop the class they're dropping.
  • Take ownership in your schedule by doing a thorough audit to ensure you received all the core classes you need each year (i.e. all sections of English, Math, Science, Government, etc.), and that you are meeting all your other graduation requirements.
  • If your student finds that you want to take a college section of a core class, please talk with your counselor either before the trimester starts or within the first 3 days of the new trimester & they will see if there are available seats and if your student meets the prerequisites for the college course.
  • If you and/or your student still have questions, please refer to the step 1 and step 2 videos, at the top of the web page.
