Schedule Change Information

Schedule change requests require a completed form signed by a parent or guardian. Only one schedule change form is allowed per semester.

Students in grades 9 and 10:

  • Forms may be picked up on the first day of school.

  • All schedule change requests must be submitted by Friday, August 28.

  • Changes may not be made after the deadline.


Students in grades 11 and 12:

  • Forms may be picked up after students receive their schedules.

  • Forms will not be available on Thursday, August 20.

  • All schedule change requests must be submitted by Friday, August 28.

  • Changes may not be made after the deadline.


Fines and Fees

Families may pay outstanding fines and fees ahead of time. Taking care of these balances early will help make schedule pickup and Chromebook checkout faster and more convenient.


Stay Informed

Additional details and any changes will be shared through ParentSquare, the district website at senecar7.com, and the Seneca High School Facebook page.


We look forward to welcoming our students and families back and beginning a great 2026-2027 school year!
