Course Scheduling Information for Potomac Falls High School 

At this time, all course change requests have closed for the 2024-2025 school year.

Here you will find the important information for course selection, including the course change request form, dual enrollment forms, & courses offered at PFH for current Freshman, Sophomores, & Juniors. 

Teachers will be evaluating student performance and data to make recommendations for course levels for next year. Teacher recommendations will be posted automatically into StudentVUE on February 1st. Please take these teacher's recommendations seriously and encourage your student to have a conversation with their teacher if the student does not agree with a teacher’s recommendation. The academic core classes will be locked in StudentVUE and can only be changed by the school counselor AFTER the individual course scheduling meeting has been held, and the course change form process has been completed.

Students will add/change elective courses in StudentVUE during the course change window in the Spring of 2025. Students are encouraged to select their electives prior to meeting with their school counselor. After this window, the student's school counselor will add in the electives (pending availability) during the individual student meetings. School counselors will meet with ALL students individually to discuss each student’s course selection. Counselors will be sending E-Hall passes for students - please be on the lookout!
