We hope this letter finds you having a great summer! We are writing in regard to the student schedules for grades 9-12 for the 2023-2024 school year. Mars Area High School continues to utilize the Skyward student information system to communicate and deliver student schedules for the 2023-2024 school year. We ask that all students and parents log onto Skyward to view their schedule and homeroom assignments.
The schedules for the 2023-2024 school year list all the courses placed in a student’s schedule by the periods that they will meet. Student’s schedules may have been adjusted if pre-requisites were not met if courses were full or would not fit into the student’s schedule with other requests and/or if there were not enough requests to run a class. There may continue to be some changes to your student's schedule prior to the start of school, please be sure to check Skyward again to ensure that your student has the most updated schedule on the first day of school.
If you notice a conflict or error, please contact the appropriate guidance counselor by email. Please note that guidance counselors do not work regular hours over the summer and that all conflicts will be resolved in the order they are received by the end of the 5-day add/drop period. Please have patience with the schedule change process, as we will work to address them as quickly as possible. Additionally, individual teacher requests or specific period requests for courses are not permitted. We will not change schedules to accommodate specific teacher requests, specific friend requests or for potential conflicts with athletics/activities. Furthermore, we are not able to compromise class sizes to allow for an earlier release for seniors that have requested an early release. If you are a senior that would like to request an early release, Mrs. Rosswog must receive permission/communication from your parents in order to schedule you for an early release.
To view 2023-2024 student schedules, please go to Skyward, select the student name to view if you have more than one student in the district and click the “Schedule” tab to view the 2023-2024 student schedule.
