Registration Process

Returning students register for classes during the spring semester . Crest High School operates on a 4x4 block schedule . Thus , students will register for eight total classes ( four each semester ). Schedules are mailed to students prior to the beginning of school . Rising 9 th graders register during their 8 th grade school year . During the registration process , each student will be able to select 8 courses , with 2-3 alternates . This allows students to be able to receive the courses that they are most interested in . Therefore , this minimizes a high volume of schedule changes throughout the school year . Any request for schedule changes will only be offered during the summer with a deadline determined by the administrator . Schedule changes requested after the deadline has been closed will have to be approved by administration . Not all requests for changes will be granted ; schedule changes will only be made for a schedule error or a full class .
