Rising 10th-12th Graders
Important Overview
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.
Course Change Requests
Students should see Course Verification information on their eClass homepage starting 4/18. If you wish to request a change in your/your student’s course selections as listed on the form, please fill out the Google Form included below. Please submit one form for each course you are requesting a change to. For the best chance of receiving your requested change(s), please return this form as soon as possible. No paper forms or emails will be accepted by any staff member. If space is available in the course you are requesting and your student meets the prerequisite(s) for the course, we will make every effort to accommodate the requested change. We will accept forms until May 31st.
Please keep in mind that this is the time for course change requests to be made, and no other opportunity will be given. NO course change requests will be accepted after May 31st. Once the form is submitted, we will follow up with an email to inform you if/when your request has been approved and we were able to make the requested change. Changes could occur up until the start of the school year as class sizes continue to change.
As a reminder: Due to limits in class offerings and sizes, your student may have been placed in one of their alternate course choices. While these courses should not change, courses are still dependent on staffing and adequate enrollment. If you have questions about a recommendation, please contact your student’s current subject teacher or assigned counselor.
Course Change Request Form:
The course change request form can be accessed here: https://forms.gle/sfzfLsPuu9AiEdoQ7
-Students will need to be logged into their school Gmail accounts to access the form and submit it.
-Once the form is successfully submitted, students/parents will see the following message:
-The student will also receive an email with a "receipt" of their response (image included below) to their school Gmail account. Please make sure to save this email for your records. It will likely take a few minutes to receive the email receipt. If you/your student do not receive this email, please resubmit the form.
What will be received:
The Curriculum Office will only send additional communication if/when we are able to make a change. Until that time, the student will be placed on a waitlist for that course in case a space becomes available. There is no need to email to ask if the change has been made.
Thank you,
The Curriculum and Instruction Office of Brookwood High School
