Requests for course changes will be accepted by completing THIS FORM. The window to request changes begins at 7 AM on Monday, May 5th, and closes at 7 AM on Friday, May 9th.

Please understand that only requests made for schedule errors (missing classes, scheduled for a course previously taken, etc.) will be addressed. Requests for specific teachers will not be addressed; requests for changes to electives will more than likely not be able to be honored. When students request courses, we take pride in trying to fulfill those requests; however, with 2700+ students, certain electives cannot be fulfilled for all.

We will do our best to address each concern. Please keep in mind that completion of this form does not guarantee a schedule change.

**Dual Enrollment students, your schedules will be altered at a later date by Mrs. Appleton and Mrs. Compton. DO NOT submit a request if you are a dual enrollment student.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping us get off to an excellent start to the 2025-2026 school year!

At the age of 16, Georgia requires that your student receive the booster to the MCV4 vaccine.

If they do not receive the MCV4 booster on or after the age of 16, their immunization record, Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231), will expire.

If you have not already scheduled an appointment for your student to get their vaccines updated, please contact your healthcare provider or the Bryan County Health Department at 912-756-2611 to arrange the MCV4 booster.

Meningococcal disease is a serious bacterial illness that affects the brain and causes shock, coma and death within hours of the first symptoms. Georgia law requires students be vaccinated against this disease.

Please provide an updated copy of the Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231) once the MCV4 booster is completed. This document will become a part of your student’s permanent record once it is received by the RHHS clinic staff.

Contact your healthcare provider or the Bryan County Health Department with any questions related to the MCV4 Booster.
