Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I select my preferred teacher(s)?
Schedule changes are not made simply to change a teacher. Although students may have a different learning
style than the way their teacher teaches, a large part of life’s survival skills is learning how to adapt and work
with various personalities and teaching styles. Many students often find that the teacher they were not so
fond of early in the semester becomes one of their favorites by the end of it.
2) How do I make a schedule change request?
Students and parents are able to submit their request online using the RHIS Request for Schedule Change(s)
form located on the River Heights home page. A schedule change is carefully reviewed and will take time.
3) What are some approved reasons for a schedule change?
As always we strive to service our students the best we can; therefore, we have developed some policies and
procedures with regards to schedule changes. Schedule changes will be made according to space available
in classes. Classes are heavily impacted and there are not many seats left to move students around. Be
advised: making a schedule change for one class may result in changing the student’s entire schedule.
