March 1 – March 12: Students can view course selections in student HAC account. Log into STUDENT HAC account, click Classes button, click Schedule tab. It is the students responsibility to make sure course requests are correct; if students need to make a change, they should use the online form(s). This is not a schedule!

March 12: Deadline to request a change to 2027-28 course selections via online form, by 12 pm

March 12: Deadline to request an online course for the summer or next school year

March 12: Deadline to complete Personal Finance and Money Management for the Class of 2028

June/July: Administration will review course placement against final course grades and FAST/EOC scores. Student/parent initiated course request changes from the online form will also be reviewed at this time.

July 23: Deadline to have any virtual courses completed (all segments/semesters)

July TBD: Schedule Preview in HAC. Schedule correction form (will be available on specific dates in July only) will be sent via ParentSquare.

Requests made via email, phone call, and in person will not be reviewed.

Only district approved corrections will be honored during this time. Corrections: a hole in schedule, a course on schedule that student has already earned credit for, a missing graduation requirement. Requests to change a course level, change an elective, switch from brick & mortar course to virtual, add modified, change modified, or to change a teacher will not be honored. Beachside is an ‘at capacity’ school; as a result not all elective requests could be granted, some students may be in an elective they did not choose.

August TBD: Schedules are available to view in HAC.
