Schedule Change Process

The deadline for all course request changes is late April/early May. We do the best we can to consider changes when looking at the school as a whole, class sizes, potential enrollments, and staffing, to best support student achievement.

***Please note that The Briar Woods Staff does not accommodate requests for teacher changes.

Please keep the following considerations in mind:

  • Requests for specific teachers or class periods will not be considered.

  • Schedule changes may not be possible if the course is considered full and seats are not available.

  • Schedule changes may require multiple class and teacher changes to the students current schedule.

  • Music classes may be subject to change as our music instructors complete auditions.

  • All students who are scheduled for Health & PE 10 will also be placed in classroom Drivers Education. These courses must be taken simultaneously.

  • Course requests for students with Individual Education Plans may change as their IEP meetings are completed.

  • Counselors will review graduation requirements and progress before schedule changes are considered.

  • If a schedule change is approved, the student is responsible for any missed work that the new teacher deems necessary.

  • If dropped during the school year, all grades in the current course will transfer to the new course.

  • A request for a schedule change does not guarantee that a change will be made.

  • All schedule changes are final and cannot be reversed.

  • Please review the chart below for an explanation of grading implications of dropped courses.
