High School Graduation Requirements Early Graduation To be considered for early graduation, the application form must be turned in to the respective guidance counselor a minimum of nine months prior to the completion of all coursework. A. Procedure for applying for permission to graduate early: 1. Students receive application from guidance counselor. 2. Completed application must be signed by parent, listing reasons for request. Completed application is returned to counselor. 3. Counselor will verify that the student has a minimum 2.75 accumulative average. 4. Counselor will send the application to the principal and schedule a parent meeting. 5. If approved, the principal will send approved application to the superintendent for final approval. 6.

A-4 Physical Education Waiver/Academic Recognition

Physical Education Waiver & Academic Recognition

Physical Education Waiver Students in grades 9-11 may be excused from the physical education course requirement by participating in District-sponsored interscholastic athletics, marching band, or cheerleading for at least two (2) athletic seasons during high school grades 911. Ohio Revised Code defines District-sponsored interscholastic athletics, marching band, or cheerleading as any high school athletic team, high school cheerleading squad, or high school marching band of the Hilliard City School District that participates in the District’s regular athletic season and is operated under the supervision of a Board employee. Club activities and/or club sports are not considered part of District-sponsored athletics, marching band, or cheerleading. High school students in grades 9-11 who meet this requirement will not be required to complete any physical education course as a condition to graduate. However, in order to be eligible for graduation, a high school student, who is excused from the high school physical education class requirement, must complete at least one (1) semester of instruction in another course of study. This semester of instruction must be separate from and in addition to all other courses of study and hours of instruction that are required to graduate. Students still need to earn a minimum of 21.5 credits to meet the graduation requirements. A student must choose to meet their physical education requirement EITHER through the waiver OR through physical education classes (students may not use a combination of both). A high school student who has not fulfilled his/her physical education requirement prior to the beginning of his/her senior year will be scheduled into physical education classes. Participation in District-sponsored interscholastic athletics, marching band, or cheerleading during the senior year cannot be used to fulfill the physical education graduation requirement.

The following activities can be used to waive the physical education requirement: Girls Basketball Cheerleading-Football Cheerleading-Girls/Boys Basketball Cheerleading - Competition Cross Country Golf Gymnastics Lacrosse Marching Band/Color Guard Soccer Softball Swimming/Diving Tennis Track Volleyball

Boys Baseball Basketball Cheerleading - Competition Cross Country Football Golf Lacrosse Marching Band/Color Guard Soccer Swimming/Diving Tennis Track Volleyball Wrestling

Four Year Planning/Learning Pathways B-1

Scheduling Guidelines Four Year Planning Overview In order to take full advantage of the high school experience, it is important that students carefully consider the courses, programs, and experiences in which they would like to participate during their four years. To assist with this important task, students are strongly encouraged to develop a “Four Year Plan” for high school. (See page B-17 for Creating A Four Year Plan directions.)

Because many courses and programs have specific prerequisites and/or selective admission criteria, it is important that students plan ahead to ensure eligibility for their experiences. The four year planning tool will help with this process.

Ohio Means Jobs Career Cluster Inventory is administered to all students grades 6-12, and provides a score for each of the 16 “career clusters”. Using your results from the Ohio Means Jobs Inventory, align your top scores with the choices in each of the 4 Learning Pathways in the chart below.

B-22 Schedule Changes/Repeating a Course


General Scheduling Information Schedule Changes

TIMELINES

Planning a schedule for the next school year is a difficult task and situations may occur requiring a change in that schedule. Changes have a serious effect on class size, teacher assignments, and the overall master schedule. The student and parent are urged NOT to plan a program with the idea that it can be changed.

ADDS: 

DROPS:

All schedule changes will require the completion of an add/drop form in the guidance office.



All schedule changes made after the last day of school will require approval from building administration.



From the time a student submits their course request in February until the end of the school year in May, a student may request a schedule change. It is important to realize that the master schedule is based upon student requests made in February. In order to be fiscally responsible, the number of class sections within each subject area is based upon these projections. Once classes are scheduled, it is difficult to make a schedule change because some classes will be at capacity. Therefore, if a student wishes to drop an AP and/or Honors course from their schedule they must do so no later than June 9th of the 2016-17 school year. Only the following reasons will constitute a need for change after this deadline: 1. Semester imbalances. 2. Replacement of summer school course/courses successfully completed. 3. Schedule adjustments for educational options such as Mosaic, Personal Success Network, Post-Secondary Options, or other special educational opportunities. 4. Adjustments for students with special needs. 5. Inappropriate course as dictated by prerequisite, final grade, or staff recommendation. 6. Requests appearing on the original form but not on final schedule. 7. Change of teacher only if student has had the teacher previously and failed the course. 8. Changes which can be made by directly replacing a study hall or dropped course. (Must be room available and be placed in smallest available section that period.)

Full year classes can be added until the tenth day of school. Semester classes can be added until the tenth day of the semester.





If a student drops a year-long course by the end of the first nine weeks grading period, or a semester course no later than the 10th school day, any record of the course will be deleted. A withdraw passing (WP) would be noted should the student drop a semester class that they are passing (A through D-) ten days after grades are posted at the end of the quarter. A year-long class drop would be noted as (WP) withdraw passing provided the student is passing (A through D-) ten days after grades are posted at semester end. Yearlong and semester courses dropped after the above stated deadlines will result in withdraw failing (WF). No student may be enrolled in less than five classes per semester.

Athletes must take/pass 5 courses each 9 weeks. Physical Education classes and Senior Capstone do not count as one of the five courses. Repeating a Course Students may repeat a course one time. The course information and the grade earned the first time remain on the transcript as part of the student's academic record. However, the grade that is earned the second time may be the grade that is computed in the calculation of the grade point average. This means students will always receive the second grade earned. Credit is only awarded once for the course. 1. A course and its prerequisite may not be taken at the same time. 2. A course may be repeated only once. 3. Grades from out of district sources and correspondence courses will not be accepted as replacement grades. 4. Hilliard Enrichment summer school coursework and Hilliard online coursework may be used as replacement grades.

Late Arrival & Early Release/Athletic Eligibility/Zero Period/Grade Level Promotion B-23

Scheduling Guidelines 5.

6. 7.

Taking a credit flexibility course proficiency assessment in a course previously completed is a method of repeating a course; the grade earned on the assessment will be calculated into the grade point average. The Credit Flexibility Pass/Fail option may only be used if the grade earned is higher than the grade previously received. The dropping of a course that is being repeated will be handled according to the same rules as all other courses. There are some performing arts courses that are exempt from this rule. Please consult the teacher of the course for specifics.

Auditing a Course Students may audit a course, with principal approval, to improve their skills. The student must attend all classes, participate in all classroom activities, take all tests and quizzes, complete all homework assignments, and follow all teacher guidelines regarding classroom rules and behavior. The student will receive a grade on their report card each grading period, however it will be reflected on the transcript as an audit (AU) without credit or a grade, and a grade will not be averaged into the cumulative grade point average. Students must make arrangements for auditing a class during the first ten (10) school days. After that time, teacher recommendation and prior approval are required. Audited courses do not count as one of the five courses all students are required to take each semester. Late Arrival and Early Release Seniors (4th year of High School) who have accumulated at least 16 credits and a minimum of 18 points towards the new graduation requirement may select one late arrival or early release period in their schedule. Late arrival/early release may be dropped from a student’s schedule if there is a change in academic standing. Late arrival/early release options are only available to Seniors. Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh grade students participating in credit flexibility, online coursework, early college programs, the personal success network and/or mentorship may be permitted to have late in/early out with approval of the building principal as long as they are enrolled in a minimum of 6 credits of coursework.

Athletic Eligibility If you are an athlete, you must be signed up for at least 5 (five) 1/2 credit classes each semester and carry the minimum GPA requirements as established by the district. Physical Education classes and Senior Capstone do not count as 1 of the 5. It is recommended students take at least 6 classes each semester. To be eligible, you also must pass at least 5 (five) 1/2 credit classes with the required GPA. This includes the nine weeks before the sport begins. If you are unsure about your eligibility, please talk to your coach, the athletic department or your school counselor. Zero Period Zero period class may be offered from 6:45 a.m. as an option for students in grades 9-12. Students who elect to take zero period are allowed to leave school one period early or take an extra course. Students who take zero period must provide their own transportation to and from school, be on time, and maintain good attendance. Zero period courses are offered strictly by the number of students who sign up. If there are not enough students to have a class, it will not be offered. Grade Level Promotion The minimum student load is 5 1/4 credits for 9th graders and 5 credits for 10th, 11th & 12th graders. You must exceed minimum load in order to meet graduation requirements. Students are not permitted more than two study halls per semester. Students are promoted to the next grade level upon completion of the following minimum credit requirements: 9th = satisfactory completion of 8th grade 10th = completion of 4 credits 11th = completion of 9 credits 12th = completion of 15 credits These guidelines should be viewed as minimum. Usually a student will have earned more credits than are needed for promotion. Lunch All students must have a scheduled lunch during their 4th, 5th or 6th period.

B-24 Online Learning


Online Learning PART A: PROGRAM STRUCTURE & GUIDELINES I. Providers The Hilliard City School District offers a variety of online course offerings as an enhancement to course offerings in the traditional classroom through the Hilliard City Schools’ Canvas. All courses offered through the Hilliard City Schools’ Canvas will be recognized for required and/or elective graduation credit. There are a variety of providers other than the Hilliard City Schools that offer online opportunities for credit enrichment and recovery. If the use of an outside provider is necessary, students are encouraged to choose from the list of district-approved providers to ensure credit earned will be recognized by the Hilliard City School District. II. Course Fees There will be fees assessed for students taking online courses through the Hilliard City Schools’ Canvas during the school year. The fees will align with the course fees listed in course catalog. Students will be responsible for all fees associated with taking online courses through the summer school program. Students will also be responsible for all fees associated with taking online courses from providers other than the Hilliard City Schools. III. Credit Guidelines The following guidelines are applicable to courses offered through the Hilliard City Schools’ Canvas:  Coursework can be for new credit or credit recovery.  The grade earned in the course can replace a grade on a student’s transcript.  Coursework does count for athletic eligibility when appropriate.  Enrolled students must take a minimum of one test “face-to-face” with the course teacher. IV. Instructors Each Hilliard City Schools’ Canvas course is assigned a Hilliard City School District instructor. The online instructor is expected to regularly communicate with his/her students via the method most efficient (i.e., telephone, email, face-to-face). Additionally, as needed (especially if a student is not completing assignments and/or is at risk of failing the course), the instructor is expected to communicate with the parents/guardians of enrolled students. As an assigned “class,” the online instructor should treat the online course, students, and parents as he/ she would a traditional classroom course. PART B: ENROLLMENT/PARTICIPATION PROCEDURES V. Enrollment Timeline & Online Course Load A student must enroll in a semester-long online course by the posting of grades for the third grading period.

Online Learning B-25

Extended Learning Opportunities Students who are enrolled through the Personal Success Network at the McVey Innovative Learning Center may be enrolled in no more than two (2) online courses at one time, if the student takes additional courses at his/her home school. Students whose attendance is solely taken at the ILC as part of the Personal Success Network may be enrolled in no more than three (3) online courses at one time. For a student who attends his/her home school for the traditional school day, he/she may only be enrolled in one (1) online course at any given time through Hilliard City Schools’ Canvas. If space and the student schedule permits, students may be provided time during the school day to access a computer and complete online work. Students dropping an online course will fall under the same requirements as stated in the Hilliard City School District’s Student Handbook for dropping courses. If a student withdrawals from a course as a failure, that course will show as a Withdrawal/Failure, and the online course will show as a separate course on the transcript. A student may be withdrawn from a class if he/she is inactive in the online course for more than 21 calendar days. The instructor will attempt to contact the student and/or parent after seven (7) days of inactivity to discuss the situation. If an administrator and/or guidance counselor withdraws a student from an online course, per student request or because of inactivity, the administrator in charge of online for that building must inform the online instructor. VI. School Procedures for Enrolling Students The following procedures may be followed when enrolling a student in an online course: 1. The traditional registration process takes place for online students through day 10 of each semester. 2. If a student is enrolled after the initial registration period, the following steps should be taken: a. If the guidance counselor considers a student to be a good candidate for the online program, he/she will speak with the administrator responsible for online coursework and the appropriate online instructor at the school about potential enrollment. Once there is agreement to enroll the student in an online course, the counselor will determine how the enrollment will fit into the student’s schedule (a class period during the day, student’s own time in evening, etc.). b. The guidance counselor and/or administrator may arrange a meeting with the student and his/her parent/guardian to complete the following: (a) Review course expectations; (b) Reveal plan for scheduling – during day or p.m.; (c) Set timeline; (d) Establish how many credits will be earned; Complete an Online Course Enrollment Form (link provided by Online Teacher Leader). c. Online Teacher Leader will notify the online teacher of the placement. The online teacher will come to the student’s home school to meet with him/her to get started in the course.

Extended Learning Opportunities 3. If the student is assigned a period during the school day to complete online work, the guidance counselor will notify the supervising teacher that the student has been assigned and is coming every day, and will change the student’s schedule to reflect which period he/she will be in assigned lab/area/classroom doing online work. 4. Students may only be scheduled and be working on one online course at a time. Another course can be added when the first is completed. A course is completed when a final grade is assigned by the online teacher. VII. Course Completion The online course (for all students enrolled) must be completed by one week prior to the final day of classes for 12th grade students. For students who do not complete the course by the deadline, an “F” will be issued. Failure to complete the course on time may prohibit a student from participating in commencement exercises. Additionally, in order to participate in commencement, the student must have earned a final grade of 60% or better in the online course prior to the ceremony. PART C: COURSE STRUCTURE VIII. Course Design Standards, as defined in the Hilliard City Schools’ Canvas Course Rubric Checklist, have been established for the structure and content of online courses offered by the Hilliard City School District. In general, all online courses are to be based on state standards. Assessments and evaluations will use multiple methods, such as quizzes, tests, discussions, essays, projects, and surveys. X. Grading Procedures The grading scale for online courses is the same as other district classes. The following criteria will be used to determine a student’s grade percentage: 

Class Semester Average: 50% - 1st grading period grade; 50% - 2nd grading period grade. Grading period percentage is calculated based on course assessments, time online, participation, and communication with instructor.

Online Learning B-27

Extended Learning Opportunities PART D: STUDENT GUIDELINES XI. Student Expectations Students are expected to work at a reasonable pace to complete course requirements. It is not acceptable to procrastinate and not stay current with assignments and/or tests. A student may be withdrawn from a class if he/she is inactive in the online course for more than 21 calendar days. It is extremely important that enrolled online students stay in regular communication with their online instructor while completing lessons and assignments.

Students should be respectful of others and their opinions during class interaction including posting to discussion boards. Inappropriate comments are not acceptable online just as in the traditional classroom. Students must follow school rules including the Hilliard City Schools’ Network Acceptable Use Policy and the Academic Honesty Policy. XII. Technical Requirements It is expected that, when a student enrolls in an online course, he/she can meet the following technical requirements:  Students must have access to a computer with an internet connection.  Students must have access to the following applications: Microsoft Word or similar word processor; Microsoft Excel or similar spreadsheet application; Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or similar browser*; PowerPoint Reader*; Flash Player*; Acrobat Reader*.  Applications with an “*” are available free on the internet. Instructors will help students learn to use the technology to complete course assignments, but they cannot help fix problems on technology outside of the district. Enrolled students will need to keep their systems in working order throughout the course.

B-30 Advanced Placement/Honors Courses


Advanced Placement & Honors Courses Advanced Placement (AP) Courses The Advanced Placement Program (AP) offers college level courses in various disciplines with the primary aim of preparing a student to master college level material while in a secondary school environment. AP offers a learning experience which is more challenging and requires more work and time than typical high school/college preparatory/honors courses.

The AP Exam is an option for students who wish to earn articulated college credit in the respective AP courses. The Exams are administered in May on national test dates established by the College Board. Scores range from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). The determination of an acceptable score, placement and whether or not credit is awarded is at the discretion of the receiving college/university. Regardless, the challenges of learning, preparing for, and taking the exam remain among the best experiences in preparing for college level learning. These courses that offer potential articulated college credit are designated throughout the Program of Studies with the following icon: The fee for the AP exam is approximately $93. In some cases (i.e., free/reduced lunch participants, hardship, etc.) partial fee waivers are possible. Students with learning disabilities may request extended time or special accommodations by filing paperwork with College Board at least two months prior to the exams. In recognition of the challenges, higher expectations and requirements of AP courses, one additional point is awarded for each letter grade; i.e., A = 5.0, B = 4.0, C = 3.0, D = 2.0 in the grading scale. (The additional point will be awarded only after completion of the entire course.) Students should obtain a complete understanding of the expectations and requirements of any AP course scheduled. Summer assignments are assigned in English, Social Studies, and Science AP courses. Assignments are posted on the school district’s website in the Spring of each school year. Current AP courses offered include: Studio Art Portfolio/2D Design Biology Calculus AB Calculus BC

How many college credits can a student earn? Students can earn a maximum of 30 college semester credit hours per year and a maximum of 120 college semester credits prior to their high school graduation. The Ohio Board of Regents has established a formula that students must refer to when registering for high school and college courses. This formula is utilized to assure students do not exceed full-time status. Full-time status can be calculated as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 

Determine student’s number of high school ONLY credits, Multiply that number by 3, and Subtract the result from the number 30 That number is the total number of college credits that College Credit Plus students may earn that academic year. Any college course taken during the summer will count towards the 30 credit limit in the following school year.

Transfer of credits/transcripts Credits earned through College Credit Plus are transferable to many public and private institutions in Ohio and out of the state. Students who want to transfer to another university will need to send their transcript from the Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) to the university they plan to attend. Many of these courses apply towards the general education requirement or as electives at that school. Two websites are available to help students fully understand what courses will transfer: www.transfer.org or www.ohiomeanssuccess.gov



How will College Credit Plus courses impact my GPA? Per HB 487, College Credit Plus courses must receive the equivalent weight as any weighted course within a given content area.

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy ACT) College Credit Plus students are college students and subject to the federal FERPA. For regular college students, this means that college records are not released to anyone, even parents, without written permission from the student. For College Credit Plus students, the high school and the college may exchange information.

Cost Students are limited 30 semester credits per academic year paid for through Hilliard City Schools agreements with participating colleges or universities (please note, students are responsible for a portion of the tuition costs associated with private institutions). NOTE: Each High School class is multiplied by 3, and is added to the total College Credit taken during the school year and previous summer. These together must not exceed 30 credits.

Important Notice to Parents and Students  Students taking College Credit Plus courses are subject to the rules and regulations of the university they are

currently attending, including add/drop dates established by the participating institution.

 Each student will be assigned an “Academic Advisor” from the University. Any questions regarding curriculum

should be addressed with the Academic Advisor provided by the University.

 While in college courses, students are introduced to a learning environment that promotes an open exchange of



   

ideas. Course content is presented on an adult level and class discussions require a mature understanding of divergent viewpoints and the ability to think critically on controversial issues. Students should understand that these courses are college-level courses, and the amount of work, pace, and rigor of content in college courses may be much greater than high school courses. In addition, college course grades become a part of a student’s permanent college transcript and are calculated into the college grade point average. Poor performance in college courses may affect future university admissions and financial aid. Therefore, it is important to perform well in college courses to realize the benefits of taking college courses while in high school. If a student fails any college course the cost for tuition, fees, and books will be charged to the student’s account in Hilliard. Students must meet prerequisite requirements outlined by the University or College in which they are attending. These courses and the grades associated with them will be reported on both the student’s high school transcript as well as the college transcript. College transcripts can be requested by visiting the respective college or university website associated with the courses taken. Hilliard City Schools does not have access to college transcripts.

B-36 Credit Flexibility


Credit Flexibility In compliance with Senate Bill 311, the Hilliard City School District offers students the opportunity to earn high school credit (s) through a credit flexibility program. “Credit flex” shifts the focus from evaluating student learning based on “seat time” to assessing students’ demonstrated academic and skill level or performance. With “Credit Flex,” students will have options to show what they know, earn credits, and move on to higherorder content. Students can choose to customize aspects of their learning around their interests and needs, which might include flexible schedules and a choice of modalities (e.g., online learning and community-based projects), as well as options to pursue niche interest areas and combine subjects. There are two types of Credit Flexibility: 1. “Course Proficiency” is testing out of and earning credit for a high school course through the successful completion of an assessment. 2. “Educational Options” allows students to earn credit through the creation of and completion of a student-designed or district pre-approved project/ proposal. Students interested in learning more about credit flexibility options should contact their guidance counselor for details. It is important to note that there are specific guidelines and timelines that have been established and must be followed in order to be considered for participation in the Hilliard City Schools’ credit flexibility program. Many pre-approved “educational options” through credit flexibility have been identified and are designated in the Program of Studies with the following icon:

Additional details about each of these options can be found on the school district website. Go to www.hilliardschools.org > student tab > credit flex program. Students are still required to complete a credit flexibility application and adhere to defined criteria deadlines.

Credit Flexibility Guidelines Course Proficiency: 1. All courses listed in the Hilliard City Schools’ High School Program of Studies are eligible for the credit flexibility option.  All Hilliard City School District students are eligible to participate in the credit flexibility option for course proficiency; this includes students who have not yet taken a course or students who may have previously taken and failed a course.  Students who demonstrate proficiency (through a written assessment and/or performance-based assessment) in a course will earn the credit as assigned to the course in the district program of studies.  Credit will be issued for an assessment score of 70% or higher; a score of 80% or higher is recommended to move on to the next course in a content area; however, this is not required unless otherwise stated in a course prerequisite. Note that a score below 70% will result in an “F” on the student’s official transcript.  Students can elect to receive a letter grade (as determined by performance on the assessment) or a “P” for passing on their transcript. Students must notify their guidance counselor of this decision within two weeks of receiving score; otherwise, the letter grade will be used. The assessment score will be the final grade awarded. The final grade will appear on the transcript; there will be no exceptions to this rule.

Credit Flexibility B-37

Extended Learning Opportunities 2. Course proficiency assessments will adhere to the following general guidelines:  Written exams will be approximately two hours in length.  A lab or performance component (e.g. lab work, physical activity, speech, painting) may be part of the assessment; however, these elements will be separate and during an additional period of time; the overall assessment time for a single course should not exceed four (4) hours.  Students may be asked to bring sample work (pieces of artwork, writing, research paper etc.) to the assessment to demonstrate elements of a course not able to be assessed during an exam time. In other words, students may be asked to bring the types of work they would typically be required to do during the traditional course.  A study guide will be available for each course proficiency exam outlining concepts/standards to be covered on the assessment. Study guides will be available for student access on the district’s website. Go to www.hilliardschools.org > student tab > credit flex program > study guides.  Study guides and details about assessment requirements will be available approximately 30 days before the assessment period. 3. Course proficiency assessments will be administered three (3) times a year during designated times only.  Designated times for course proficiency exams will be as follows: (1) August – dates/times to be established by each department; (2) December – during semester exams; (3) June – during final exams.  A student may not take a proficiency assessment for a course once he/she is enrolled in the course; however, a student may elect, during the drop/add time at the beginning of a course, to drop a course and register to take the course proficiency assessment. A semester course must be dropped within the first ten (10) days and a year-long course must be dropped within the first nine (9) weeks to avoid a “W” from appearing on the transcript.  After failing a course, a student may register for the next round of course proficiency testing for that course as a means of credit recovery. Normal grade replacement guidelines will apply.









 

A student may retake a course proficiency assessment one time for each course. Normal grade replacement guidelines will apply. Students who elect to earn credit through the course proficiency option must complete and submit the attached application to the guidance office for each course they plan to flex. The application deadlines for course proficiency assessments are as follows: March 10h for the June assessment; May 4th for the August assessment; October 13th for the December assessment. A letter will be mailed home confirming receipt of the application. Students will be notified of the assessment date, time, and location approximately 30 days prior to the assessment. The final score earned on the assessment will be mailed home. Appeals regarding the Course Proficiency assessment should be submitted in writing to the Executive Director of K-12 Curriculum & Instruction.

B-38 Credit Flexibility

Extended Learning Opportunities Educational Options 1. Credit can be earned through Educational Options Credit Flexibility in all content areas (departments) within the Hilliard City Schools’ High School Program of Studies.  All high school students are eligible to participate in Educational Options Credit Flexibility. Credit can only be earned for learning experiences beginning with the ninth grade year.  Credit can be granted for a specific course or department credit, depending on the scope of the project and student proposal.  The amount of credit awarded will depend on the scope of the learning experience; in general 120 hours equates to .5 credit.  Credit will be issued for a project review score of 70% or higher; a district rubric is attached to this application that will be used to evaluate projects.  Students can elect to receive a letter grade (as determined by the rubric score) or a “P” for passing on their transcript. The student must notify his/her guidance counselor of this decision within two weeks of receiving score; otherwise, the letter grade will be used. The rubric score will be the final grade awarded. The final grade will appear on the transcript; there will be no exceptions to this rule. 2. Students wishing to earn credit through Educational Options Credit Flexibility must develop a formal proposal and submit it to the guidance office.  Students who elect to earn credit through educational options must complete and submit the attached application and proposal form.  The deadlines for submitting proposals are August 18, 2017, December 1, 2017, and May 4, 2018; students will be notified of approval/ disapproval of their proposal approximately thirty (30) days after the established deadline. Note, that, regardless of the submission date, the committee will not review the proposal until after the next established deadline date, and the project cannot start until after approval by the District Credit Flexibility Committee.  Students must identify a mentor for their project; the mentor does not have to be a school employee; however, the mentor must be an “expert” in the content area for proposed work





(i.e. a license, certification, and/or degree is required in the field of study). The proposed mentor must be approved by the District Credit Flexibility Committee. Credit will not be issued for any projects retroactively; students must adhere to designated deadlines and follow the application/ proposal process. Projects cannot start until after approval notification by the District Credit Flexibility Committee. Any cost associated with completing the educational options proposal (i.e. fee for a nondistrict created assessment to demonstrate proficiency in a course not offered by the Hilliard City Schools) is the responsibility of the student.

3. A District Credit Flexibility Review Committee will serve students at all three high schools. This committee will be facilitated by the Director of Secondary Education with representation from all three high schools.  The District Credit Flexibility Review Committee will review and approve all Educational Options proposals.  At the conclusion of the learning experience, students will be required to schedule a presentation time with the Credit Flexibility Review Committee. Presentation dates for 2017/2018 are as follows: September 8th, 2017, January 12th, 2018, May 11th, 2018.  Students will be required to develop and present a product or products (reflection paper, portfolio, etc.) to the Committee for review; the student’s mentor must be present at the presentation. Review the attached rubric for project/ presentation assessment expectations. The Committee will ultimately determine whether or not credit is issued to the student; credit will be granted for what students learn from their experiences, not just having experiences.  Appeals of any decision made by the District Credit Flexibility Committee should be submitted in writing to the Executive Director of K-12 Curriculum & Instruction.

C-2 Ohio Means Jobs/PSAT

College Planning College bound students should pursue the most challenging/rigorous curriculum that they are capable of pursuing. Universities with more selective admissions prefer/ may require and give preference to students who pursue the most challenging curriculum available. Strength of curriculum, along with class rank, GPA, test scores, school and community activities, special talents, etc., are factors which are part of the admission process.

College Admissions Testing The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) The PSAT/NMSQT, a preliminary version of the college entrance examination Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), is primarily designed for college bound juniors. Students who plan to go to college are urged to take this test, for it attempts to measure the academic skills necessary for success in college.

The PSAT is one of the first steps in the college entrance testing process and serves as an excellent preparation for other college entrance examinations. In addition, it is the mandatory qualifying test for juniors who wish to participate in scholarship programs and honors administered by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). The PSAT offers students and their parents an opportunity to evaluate critical reading, mathematical and writing skills, which are considered necessary for a successful experience in higher education. Students with learning disabilities (IEP, 504, etc.) may request extended time or special accommodations by completing the paperwork by early Spring of the Freshman year, in advance of registration deadlines. Forms may be obtained from the guidance counselor or the student’s intervention specialist. Permission for extended time must come from the College Board. The test is administered each year in mid-October on a Wednesday. A nominal fee is charged to cover the cost of the test and its administration. Students may register through the guidance office in September/ early October. African American and Hispanic students who wish to participate in the National Achievement Scholarship Program for outstanding African American students or the National Hispanic Recognition Program must take the PSAT.

College Planning The Admissions Testing Program (SAT Reasoning and SAT Subject Tests) & The American College Testing Program (ACT) Many colleges require one or more of these examinations for admission. Admissions test requirements are determined by individual colleges. The tests include the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT Reasoning), 20 SAT Subject Tests in academic subjects and the American College Testing (ACT) program. The SAT consists of critical reading, mathematics, and writing sections. The critical reading section is designed to measure the candidate's ability to read with understanding and discrimination, his/her comprehension of words, and his/her skill in dealing with word and thought relationships. The mathematics section is designed to measure aptitude for handling quantitative concepts rather than achievement in math. Calculators are permitted. The writing skills section asks students to identify sentence errors, improve sentences, improve paragraphs, and write an essay. The SAT is offered in October, November, December, January, March, May and June. Seniors are encouraged to take the test no later than the first semester with college deadlines in mind. Juniors who wish to take the SAT should take it in winter or spring. The SAT Subject Tests measure what has been learned in specific subject areas. Generally, selective colleges require two to three SAT Subject Tests. Juniors can take SAT Subject Tests in May or June if they finish a subject such as AP language or AP science, AP history, etc. and wish to have a score available. Bulletins of information and registration forms are available in the Counseling Office. For further information and to register online, go to www.SAT.org/register. The ACT is used by many colleges for admission. It consists of five tests: English, mathematics, reading, science reasoning, and an optional essay writing. The writing section of the ACT may be required by colleges. Refer to the school’s requirements. The individual test items in all areas are designed to measure ability to perform the kind of complex intellectual tasks that college students typically have to perform. Calculators are permitted.

These examinations are given in September, October, December, February, April and June. College bound Juniors should consider taking the ACT in the winter or spring of their junior year, however, the state of Ohio will pay for all 11thgrade students to take the ACT exam during a one-time statewide spring test. Information bulletins and registration forms are available in the Counseling Office. For further information and to register online, go to: www.ACT.org, www.ACTstudent.org School Codes: Davidson — 362570 Darby — 362571 Bradley — 365198 District Post-Secondary Counseling Services Students and their families are encouraged to use the post-secondary counseling services available at each high school. Guidance is available in college planning, the college application process, financial aid, College Credit Plus options, and scholarship searches . College Representative Sessions Representatives from various colleges and universities visit the high school during the school day to share information with prospective students. Students must sign up in the guidance office at least two days prior to the session. College Campus Visits Seniors and juniors are permitted up to three absences during the school year to visit a college/ university. Sophomores and freshmen must have prior approval from the counselor to take a school recognized college visit.

English/Language Arts Language, literature, and reading are essential to any society. They define and connect us as people while enabling us to preserve traditions from the past as well as to envision what the future might hold.

enjoy productive personal lives. Students must earn a minimum of four credits in English in order to graduate.

Career Mentorship 1

Career Mentorship is offered to junior and senior high school students to experience a career they may be interested in pursuing. By gaining a first-hand look at a career, students are prepared to choose a career that matches their passions, strengths, values, and interests and also to choose colleges or other educational opportunities that assist them in reaching these goals. As a result of the mentorship experience, students will approach their next interview and internship prepared and confident. Career Mentorship is structured so students spend time in the classroom setting goals and working on college and career skills. Students arrange to mentor 4 – 6 hours per week for a total of 50 hours. Students are dismissed from school during their Mentorship class to mentor, but may also mentor after school or on weekends. This is a non-paid opportunity. It is strongly recommended that students interested in education, business, medical and audio/video production and performance consider taking Academy EDU, Academy INC, Academy MD or Academy VIBE.

AP Biology is 1.5 periods long and may allow students to earn college credit. The course is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory biology course usually taken by biology majors during their first year. Upon showing yourself qualified on the AP Examination, you may, as a college freshman, be permitted to take upper-level courses in biology or to register for courses for which biology is a prerequisite. AP Biology will include those topics regularly covered in a college biology course for majors in biology: basic chemistry, chemistry of life, cells, cell processes, molecular genetics, genetics, evolution and natural selection, organisms and populations, and ecology. The college course in biology differs significantly from the usual first high school course in biology with respect to the kind of textbook used, the range and depth of topics covered, the kind of laboratory work done by students, and the time and effort required of students. The textbook used is a college biology text. The AP Biology course has been designed to be taken by students after the successful completion of a first course in biology and one in high school chemistry. Students are encouraged to take an AP test in the spring, which has an additional charge. Prerequisites: Biology or Honors Biology; Honors Chemistry or Chemistry is a prerequisite or corequisite

Senior Capstone

SENIOR CAPSTONE EXPERIENCE The Senior Capstone experience is a graduation requirement. #98SC99

0.5 Elective Credit

The Senior Capstone experience is an opportunity for students to challenge themselves outside the traditional curriculum. The experience should be a culminating high school experience and help provide a transition to life beyond the secondary classroom. An exploration of a career path, an occasion to serve a community, a chance to develop and/or explore a particular skill, a preparation for a specific event – a senior capstone encourages self-discovery and responsibility.

The Senior Capstone graduation requirement will be fulfilled in cooperation with the building capstone coach. The capstone coach role is to oversee and advise each student from the planning process through the final presentation of learning. The capstone is a self-paced learning experience similar to an independent study course. The capstone coach serves as the teacher in charge of the course, but there is no physical class time that a student participates in. Frequent check-ins, both online and in-person, are required of each student as they complete their capstone experience. When selecting or declaring their intentions for the capstone requirement, students will be advised to begin with a broad idea of how they can benefit themselves and/or the world around them. A student wishing to attend college may design an experience to benefit their college application or a program they will complete during college. Students with a future career interest may want to explore that career or create an experience that could contribute to a resume down the road. If the college or career path isn’t quite as clear, students can choose to create an experience centered around their interests so long as the final product benefits themselves, their school, their community, or beyond.

Formal discussions of the capstone may begin during the 2nd semester of the sophomore year. Students can begin to formulate ideas and work through the selection process with the advice of their capstone coaches. Once an experience is identified, the main responsibility of the student is to be accountable to the following: Athletic Eligibility: Physical Education classes and Senior Capstone do not count as 1 of the 5 (five)1/2 credit classes. Individual Learning Plan (ILP)– The most important part of the capstone is the planning process. The ILP will be developed by the student, and once approved, will be the guiding compass for the entire experience. The ILP will include a timeline for completion, SMART goals, a complete road map of the experience, and the intentions the student has for the final presentation of learning. This step in the process is the most critical as it will be the evaluation tool for the capstone coach as the experience commences. Check-ins– Student are required to provide detailed progress updates to the capstone coach. Check-ins will take place both in-person and through online impact reports to help the student remain on track and for the coach to periodically evaluate and provide feedback. Presentation of Learning- The end product is more of a story than a completed assignment. Students may choose to communicate their story in whatever way serves them best. The focus of the final product should be sharing the impact that the capstone had on the student, the school, the community, or the World. The product should be presented in digital form and presented to an authentic audience for feedback and evaluation. Timeline: Planning: 2nd semester 10th gr. year Experience: Summer (11th gr.) through December (12th gr.) Completion: December of Senior year.

Student Interest + Student Experience + Student Story = Senior Capstone Ex: (The Spanish Language) + (After school elem. enrichment class) + (video blog) = Capstone that impacted my district
