Welcome back! We’re so excited to start another amazing year at West Point Junior High. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our counseling team, we’re thrilled to release student schedules early—this evening, Wednesday, August 6, 2025!
Please carefully review your schedule once it's available. If you need to request a change, fill out our Schedule Change Request Form here:
Schedule Change Window
August 6–15, 2025
All schedule change requests must be submitted using the form above by August 15. Here’s what to know:
Your counselor will reach out by email or phone if your request cannot be completed or if more info is needed.
Approved changes will be visible on MyDSD by August 13 and marked with a “Schedule Finalized” note that looks like a class.
A $10 fee will be added in MyDSD for schedule changes.
No fee will be charged if your request involves:
A missing class period
A missing core class
A duplicate class
Important Notes
Due to the loss of 14 teaching positions, not all classes could be offered. Your student may have received alternate elective choices.
Standalone Honors courses in 7th and 8th grade are not available this year. Instead, students can earn an Honors Designation within regular core classes. More information will be shared during the first week of school.
All 7th graders should have two Math 7 classes—one on A Day (1–4) and one on B Day (1–5).
