Schedule conflicts and change of mind requests
Counselors are currently working through schedule conflicts. If a student selected an alternate course during course selection, we will try to use this course if a course does not work. If we are not able to make the initial course or alternate course work, the counselor will reach out to the student. Once all conflicts are complete, we will notify students of their final course list and will then allow students to make a change of mind request via google form. We anticipate this form being available in late May and will allow a 2 week window for changes to be requested. Please be on the lookout for an email when this form becomes available.

Tip Line
District 86 partnered with Navigate360 to develop a new Tip Line that people can use to anonymously report any concerns they have about the well-being of our students, or make us aware of incidents or issues that threaten the safety of our schools or those we serve.
Please visit P3Campus.com or use the free P3 Campus mobile app to submit your tip. Both resources will also allow you to:
- Share photos, videos or other attachments when submitting a tip.
- Follow up on a tip you submitted to either check on its status or provide additional information.
Please contact the dean's office if you have questions or need more information about our Tip Line.
