When will schedules/teachers be posted to ParentVue?

Anonymous
I already know my rising 6th grader wants to change the elective he chose in the spring of 5th grade. Is there a drop/add period at the beginning of the school year? Or do we wait until the schedule is posted and reach out to the counselor? TIA

If there’s room, some schools allow changes that are by choice rather than to correct an error. Others will not change the schedule due to the student’s regrets.

Which school? Someone here might know their policy.

There's a way to see which courses they are registered for, but not the specific teachers/periods yet. In ParentVue click on Course History. Then if you click on English it will show all past English courses as well as the ones on their schedule for this coming year. Repeat for the other subjects.


Thanks for this. In my case, I click on 'electives' and it shows the full 2025-26 schedule (courses only; no teachers/periods). So it seems like for us, the classes are there but not linked to departments/requirements yet. Very helpful as it shows that our requested change is in place. Thank you!

I'd reach out to the counselor ASAP. They tend to make these changes if there's space available. So the earlier you ask, the more likely there's still a spot available in the other class. Also, I'm guessing they become more reluctant to move other kids' schedules around to accommodate yours if the other kid has seen the schedule (they may complain).

Interesting, thanks. It’s got some of what he registered for on it but nothing for English or math.


They may be listed under Electives, especially if the graduation requirement has already been met.

Teachers don't even have rosters yet, not everything is a secret plot, they just prefer to wait as long as possible for accurate numbers and staffing, you'd be surprised how many are hired in the 2 weeks before school starts


Both things can be true. My kids' school literally sends a message saying that the teacher assignments will be announced on day (usually the Thursday or Friday before the start of school), that also says all assignments are final, and not to ask for changes.


There's a lot of people in this area who think the rules are for thee and not for me. You can certainly ask but don't always assume you're going to get the response you want

Also no schedule yet for Walter Johnson. It popped up a few days ago briefly but it was wrong and I haven’t been able to see it yet. Are high school schedules not up?

Our HS schedule has been up since the 20th (Einstein).

WJ will be up on Tuesday 8/26 for grades 10-12, which seems late. They must be making changes until the last minute?

Though you have to look in grade book to see the schedule with teachers and classrooms.

That's shamefully late WJ. My kid's MS schedule has been up since 8/20, and it's far more important for a HS kid to have their schedule right.
