Another new initiative for high schools this year is that all

high schools in the district will have a common planning

period for teachers in the four core departments (English

Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies).

Other high schools in the metro area that have the large

student body that Dunwoody does and the extensive electives,

AP courses, and number of students taking Dual Enrollment

courses have implemented this successfully. While it means

that most or all of the teachers in a core department have the

same planning period, the same number of sections of courses

are still offered by offering more sections of those courses the

other three periods of the school day so it all balances out. 

Also, the planning periods of the other departments are still

spread out over the school day as they have been in the past.

This will allow for core teachers to plan together to improve

classroom instruction, analyze student data together, design

common assessments, and better align all classrooms for pacing

with the curriculum. 

Schedules will officially be available for view when Infinite

Campus Parent / Student Portal becomes live again on

Monday, July 28. (Accessibility to Campus Parent / Student

Portal is not controlled at the local school). Parents and

students will be able to pick up a hard copy of their schedule

at Open House (formerly called Registration Day) on

Wednesday, July 30. However, we are aware that students

have discovered ways to see schedules through other

instructional application software that is linked to Infinite

Campus. This is not controlled locally at the school either.

That secondary access may or may not continue to work or

update, but it is important to note that there will continue to

be changes to the master schedule to balance the number of

students in sections of courses, teacher changes to individual

sections of courses, and to balance the workload each semester

on individual student schedules. Therefore, all schedules are still

fluid and subject to change. 

Infinite Campus builds student schedules; they are not built

individually by me or the counselors. For a block schedule with

different classes each semester, we have to identify and manually

adjust schedules that have an unbalanced workload in one

semester or the other. We are continuing with that process.

More information is listed on the schedule change process below,

but the counselors will be working on issues with individual student

schedules while I continue to focus on the master schedule as a

whole and tasks to start the school year as we welcome our

teachers back on Monday, July 28.

and students will be able to submit a schedule correction form to the

Counseling Office. Requests will not be processed by phone call,

voicemail, nor an email to Mr. Jameson or a counselor.  All requests

must be submitted to the Counseling Office. Information submitted

through the schedule correction form will be routed to the student’s

counselor for processing. 

An online form will be available from when schedules become

viewable in Infinite Campus through Tuesday, 7/29. Use the

button below to access the Schedule Correction Form.

Physical forms will be available at the school from Wednesday

7/30 through Friday 8/1 and during all lunch periods from

Monday 8/4 through Friday 8/8. The deadline for submitting

requests is Monday 8/11. Please allow several days for requests

to be processed. Students must follow their schedule as it

appears in Infinite Campus until then.

Schedule Corrections will be considered for the following approved reasons:

--To make adjustments for failing grades

--To correct clerical errors

--To correct incomplete schedules

--To fix an unbalanced schedule (for example all cores in one semester)

--To adjust for Dual Enrollment classes.

The following schedule change requests will not be considered:

--Student requests a specific period and or semester for a class.

No teacher requests will be accepted unless:

1. The student failed the same course with the same teacher and

2. Retaking the course with a different teacher is possible.

All schedule change requests are subject to approval based

on the availability of seats.

The following courses are full and closed at this time:

AP Cal AB (Fall)

AP Biology

AP Chemistry

Latin I

Engineering Concepts

Dunwoody High School is fully staffed with teachers as

we begin the 2025 – 2026 school year. As our new

teachers show up in Infinite Campus, Mr. Jameson will

attach their names to their classes so that their names

will appear on hard copies and electronic views of schedules.

In the interim, there is a holding name of a college/university

for each new teacher. Please know that this is temporary,

and that we have hired a certified teacher for that class.
