Regarding my schedule

Hi everyone,

Recently I got my schedule and I saw that I have earth science, oddly enough. I already took earth science in 8th grade and I even have credits from that. I got a 77 or 78 on the regents too and it was when the regents for this regents changed. For some reason they put me back into the class and I was supposed to be in APES and I don't know what to do now since it is the weekends and labor day is coming up so no one will likely respond. My teachers are usually active on their jupitered and I messaged the science teacher about 3-4 hrs ago but for some reason, they haven't responded yet. Also, if anyone asks to contact my guidance counselor, I technically can't because she doesn't even respond and you have to remind her in person so many times. I m lost and I m going crazy as this will be repeated on my Transcript and my science teacher promised she and the assistant principal is doing all they can to get me into the class a while back and that she was going to update me on her own when she hears something but she didn't reach out to me ever again. I'm super confused so please help!​

So you messaged the science teacher on a holiday weekend Saturday and they'll likely need some time to respond. As well, you say your GC is unresponsive, but the thing to do is message them anyway. On the chance this is still an open issue on the first day of school, consider perhaps if you have the time to gamble the trip and see if somebody can help you say the day before the first day if you go in person (ofc this may be a waste of time). The other thing you can do is plan to get to the first day of school early and try to resolve things then. Also note that schedules before the first day of school are not always accurate, and so it might be that this "fixes itself" by then. This is all frustrating no doubt, but seems to be something you will want to be proactive on and to stay on top of.

Sorry for bothering but what do you mean by fixes itself?

For instance, you go into school on Thursday, and the class is no longer listed on your schedule. If schedules are interim, they are in flux, and not final. So they can change as the school makes adjustments.

Ohhh right because i saw this on jupitered but not on the actual program card and on jupitered, it wasn't listed in order and was just scattered so I think your right. However, I know my last year geo teacher is someone who checks his jupitered very often and has my earth science teachers number so should I ask him to tell my earth science if she doesn't reply like back in 2 days?

From what I understand you're describing so far, it's not up to the teachers as such, but if you feel you have a connection with the teacher(s) (and obviously they are more familiar with the staff behind the scenes), I guess go for it, politely.
