2017 MSOD Scheduling Survey

 

MSOD attempts to create a class schedule that allows for the majority of students to participate in our program. We have traditionally offered parents the opportunity to declare hard conflicts. Unfortunately many parents have stated days/ time frames that are merely a preference instead of “hard conflicts”. This practice has made it nearly impossible to create a schedule that is workable for our staff and students. This season we are insisting that the survey reflect only “hard conflicts”. Please consider your selections of day and time frames very carefully. Hard conflicts consist of parent work schedules, religious observation, non-custodial visitation, parent educational schedules, transportation, tutoring, and the like. They DO NOT include seasonal sports, piano classes, karate, cheerleading or other activities. Your scheduling requests will not be considered if conflicts are not considered “hard conflicts”. Each scheduling survey will be reviewed before a registration is accepted and no guarantee is offered that your scheduling conflicts will be met.

 

What is the EARLIEST class time start and LATEST class end time your student can accept on each day of the week? Please note that traditionally, younger students fill earlier class time frames and older students fill later time slots. Mark an “X” on days that you cannot accept any class time.

 

EARLIEST          MON_________  TUE ________ WED _________ THUR _________

 

LATEST END     MON_________  TUE ________ WED _________ THUR _________

 

 Please list your hard conflicts in order of priority.
