Here are two ready-to-use drafts you can copy, edit (fill in your name/period), and send to Ms. Monkou — plus a short in-person script and a quick checklist of next steps.

Subject: Request to switch from AP African Studies (2nd period) back to Choir

Dear Ms. Monkou,

My name is [Your Name], [Grade], and I’m currently scheduled for AP African Studies during 2nd period. I’d like to request a schedule change to move back into Choir for that period.

I joined AP African Studies expecting it to be a better fit, but it has turned out to be much more than I can manage right now and not what I expected. The workload is overwhelming on top of my other classes, and I’m worried it will hurt my grades and overall mental health. Choir is where my strengths and commitments are, and I would prefer to finish my music courses this year.

Could you let me know if it’s possible to change me back into Choir for 2nd period and what steps or paperwork are required? If there are any deadlines, teacher signatures, or other requirements, I’m happy to complete them as soon as possible. I can come by your office or meet virtually if that’s easier.

Thank you for your help,
[Your Name]

Short message / in-person script
Hi Ms. Monkou — I switched into AP African Studies but it’s much more than I expected and it’s overwhelming. I’d like to go back to Choir for 2nd period so I can finish my music courses. Is that possible, and what do I need to do to make the change?

Quick checklist before you ask
- Know your current schedule period (2nd period) and the exact course names.
- Check if Choir has space or a waitlist.
- Bring/offer your schedule and any parent permission if required.
- Be ready to explain briefly why AP African Studies isn’t working (workload, not what you expected).
- Ask about deadlines or teacher signatures and be prepared to follow up quickly.

If you want, tell me your name/grade and exact current schedule and I’ll personalize the email for you.
