When: August 18, August 19, and August 20 are the three days students can enter a request for the waiting list.


Requirements:

  • only students will be able to add their name to the waiting list
  • the requested class must have space available
  • the student meets the class's pre-requisites
  • the student is not scheduled to be in a class at that time. In other words, the student has an off period during the requested class (cannot be a student's lunch period).


Important Details:

  • Complete the request on a Google Form: fliers will be posted at CCHS, a link will be added on the CCHS website, an email will be sent to students, and an email will be sent to parents through a Newsletter.
  • Students can only request to be added to 1 class.


Parent Communication:

  • Parents will receive a Talking Point message on 08/24/2026 indicating their student was approved or denied.


Our Advice:

  • Study the master schedule very carefully. It will be important that the student knows when the class is offered and selects the correct class AND class period.
