Course schedules are available via PowerSchool.

Please see the dates below regarding when schedule changes can occur:

Error-Only Days: Monday and Tuesday, 08/26/2024 and 08/27/2024

An error is a mistake that needs to be corrected (such as an empty block).  Students with errors can come to the counseling office during one of the blocks that is an error.  If there are no errors, all students should attend all of their scheduled classes on the first A and B days.  

Add/drop Days: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 08/28/2024, 08/29/2024, and 08/30/2024, and Tuesday 09/03/2024

Students can come to the school counseling office during a study hall, free block, or during the class they are trying to adjust. They may not miss other classes.

Please note that unfortunately we can not make schedule changes for the sole purpose of accommodating a late arrival or early release, teacher selection, or peer or lunch preferences. 

The goal of the school counseling program at Essex High School is to enhance the learning process for all students through academic, career, and social/emotional support. 

The school counseling program is a collaborative effort between the school counselor, student, parents, and other educators to create an environment that promotes student achievement. 

Please continue to check your school email daily for information from the counseling department, your teachers, administrators or more.

If the course is dropped after the 10 day mark, a grade of W (withdraw) with no GPA bearing will be added to the transcript.Talk to the EHS VTVLC/VHS coordinator Aaron Mason with any questions.
