Student Schedules / Schedule Changes

The deadline to submit a schedule change request form is the end of the school day on Monday 8/10. As a reminder, schedule change requests will not be processed by phone call, voicemail, or email to Mr. Jameson or a counselor. They will only be processed through a schedule change request form signed by a parent/guardian.

Schedule change requests will be considered for the following approved reasons:

  • to adjust 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

We cannot take requests for a specific period, semester, lunch period, or teacher. The only exception for a teacher request is if a student failed the same exact course with the same teacher, and retaking the course with a different teacher is possible. All schedule change requests are subject to approval based on the availability of seats, as some courses and sections of courses are full and closed. If a student is already in a class that most of the sections are almost full and closed, it also limits the ability to change that student’s schedule around. Finally, please allow adequate time for the counselor to process the change request as they are also scheduling newly enrolled students.


Upcoming Changes in Attendance on the Horizon

 


As we prepare for another successful school year, we want to make you aware of several important attendance and student accountability updates that will be implemented this semester. 

 

Beginning September 8, 2026, Dunwoody High School will officially begin using our new School Conductor System to improve student check-in, check-out, attendance tracking, and campus safety. 

 

What Families Should Know 

Student Check-In 

 

• Students arriving after the tardy bell must report to the Attendance Office before going to class. 

• Students will use the School Conductor kiosk to check in and receive an official pass. 

• Students should not report directly to class after arriving late. 

• Parents are not required to walk students into the building. A written note may be submitted to the Attendance Office. 

 

Student Check-Out 

 

• QR Code check-out has been discontinued. 

• Parents/guardians must come into the Attendance Office with identification to check students out. 

• Students who are 18 years old may check themselves out. 

• Parent email requests must be received by 8:00 a.m. on the day of the requested checkout. 

 

Senior Exam Exemptions 

 

Beginning this school year, attendance will be part of senior exam exemption eligibility. Additional information will be shared over the coming weeks. Thank you for partnering with us as we strengthen our systems to better serve our students. Together, we will continue building a culture of accountability and excellence.
