Rising 10th-12th Graders

What Do I Register For?

During the registration process, you will be registering for six classes, plus alternates.  These classes should include four core classes (LA, MA, SC, SS), as well as electives (CTAE, Fine Arts, Foreign Language, Health/Physical Education).  Be sure to choose your alternates wisely - you will be scheduled in those classes if your first choices are not available.  Please note, if you do not choose alternates, they will be selected for you.

Who Signs Me Up for Classes?

Your subject area teacher will sign you up for courses in that same subject area.  This is true for both core classes and electives.

If you would like to take a class in a subject you are not currently taking, you will come to Arena Registration in the Gold Gym during your lunch on Thursday, January 30th and Tuesday, February 4th.

What Electives are Available?

The back of your registration sheet included all electives.  Some are open electives - this means any student can sign up to take them.  There are some electives marked with a black square - check the eCLASS registration page for more info on these courses, or come to Arena Registration.  Finally, there are some courses marked with * - these courses have a pre-requisite or you must have approval some a specific teacher.  Come to Arena Registration for these.

What About Off-Campus Options?

If you are planning on taking classes through Maxwell, Grayson Tech, CLC (comparative religion), or Dual Enrollment, make a note of this on the back of your registration sheet in Step 5.  Ask your guided study teacher or counselor for more info about these options.

What If I Want to Request a Change?

Brookwood does yearlong scheduling, so please carefully consider all of your choices during this registration period.  NEW THIS YEAR - if you and your parents would like to request a different course than your teacher recommended, you must complete the top section on the back of your registration sheet.  This section MUST have a parent signature. Changes are not guaranteed, but they are more likely if you request them early.

You will receive your course verification sheet right before Spring Break.  This is the LAST CHANCE for change requests or to fix any mistakes.  You have until May 31 to submit these change requests.  Again, requests are based on space and are not guaranteed.

There will not be any course changes made over the summer, during orientation, on the first day of school, or during the first week.  Schedules are set at this time.

What Reasons are Not Valid to Request a Schedule Change Next Year?

• I changed my mind.
• I decided I don't want to take that class.
• I'm involved in too many extracurricular activities.
• I don't want to hurt my GPA.
• I want to change levels.
• I don't want to lose HOPE.
