Scheduling

At Spotswood High School, students receive course recommendations from their current teachers for the following year. Students meet with their school counselor to review recommendations, and a parent/guardian signature is required to enroll in courses. The master schedule and staffing are based on these selections, so scheduling changes after final selections are submitted must be limited.

Reasons a course may be changed after final selections are made:

1. A course failure that prevents progression to the next sequential course, or passing a credit recovery course that allows progression
2. Class level change supported by teacher and counselor recommendations and approved by the appropriate department chair and/or administrator
3. Student placement in a recommended or mandatory Basic Skills course

Important Policies

• Honors and AP courses cannot be dropped because summer work was not completed
• Students who waive into a course must remain in that course for the full year
• Deadline for scheduling changes: May 1, 2026
