Scheduling

2025/2026 Scheduling packet

Byron High School Scheduling Options

online/virtual class request

There are online/virtual classes available in a wide variety of topics.  Online/virtual classes can be difficult for many students, so we have implemented an application process so that students understand the implications and responsibility of this type of learning.  For students that are interested, please fill out the below application which requires two teacher recommendations.

If you have already successfully completed an online course, please fill out the re-application below.  Your success/lack of success/behavior/etc in your previous course will determine your eligibility to take another online course.

Dropping/adding classes

Only those students who meet one of the following requirements will be allowed to drop a class.

• Those who have a class for which they have already passed the coming semester.

• Those who need to make up a semester of a required course that is necessary for graduation.

• Those who are judged incapable by the teacher’s recommendation, not their own, or being incapable to continue.

• Extreme cases judged by the counselor and principal to require change.

Any student who feels they meet the above requirements and need to change their schedule must talk to Ms. Smith to receive a drop/add form.

If a student does not meet the above requirements and still desires to change a class, he/she must meet with Ms. Smith.  A drop/add form will be given to the student to be signed by the teacher(s) of the class(es) to be added and dropped and the student’s parent/guardian.  The student’s parent/guardian must also meet with the counselor and the principal to discuss the desired change.  If the counselor and the principal do not agree with the student and the parent that a change is necessary, the student and parent can appeal the decision to the School Board.  All changes for the first semester must be done before school starts in August.  All requests for changes for the second semester must be completed and turned in before school ends in December.  The student’s parent or guardian must meet with the counselor and the principal before the beginning of the second semester.

testing out

• According to State Laws 380.1278(a)(4)(c) and 380.1279(b), schools shall grant a student high school credit in any course to a pupil enrolled in high school, but who is not enrolled in the course, who has exhibited mastery of the subject matter of the course by obtaining at least a C+ (78%) in a final exam in the course. Students may instead be required to show mastery through a group of assessments including a portfolio, performance, paper, project, presentation or several tests. Credit earned shall be based on a "CR" grade and shall not be included in the computation of the GPA of the student.
