Advanced Placement CoursesThe Advanced Placement classes represent a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools and colleges and universities. Since its inception in 1955, Advanced Placement classes have provided motivated high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school setting. Students who participate in these classes not only gain college-level skills, but in many cases, they also earn college credit while they are still in high school.

The curricula of these courses are stringent and demanding. To be successful, students must be willing to use their own time, outside of school, to complete assignments and prepare for the exams, just as they would in college. The Advanced Placement classes are taught at a rigorous pace to complete the required curriculum before the exam date. It is a requirement of the program that students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes take the appropriate AP exam (exam fee is $95 per test.) AP courses offered at FHHS:

• AP English Language and Composition• AP English Literature and Composition• AP Studio Art 2D Design

COURSE LOADAll freshmen, sophomores, and juniors must enroll in six (6) classes each semester. Seniors may enroll in fewer than six (6) classes only if they are on track to meet graduation requirements by having earned eighteen (18) of the required credits by the fall of their senior year. All seniors must enroll in a minimum of four (4) on-campus FHHS courses regardless of how many total credits beyond 18 that they may have. TA may not be the fourth course in a four-period minimum day.

GRADING POLICY/GRADE POINTThe majority of courses offered in the curriculum will be awarded grade points on a regular “R” 4.0 scale. Advanced Placement “AP” and honors “H” courses have been designated as more academically challenging and will be awarded grade points on a 5.0 scale for Advanced Placement classes and 4.5 scale for honors classes.Transfer credit for weighted classes will only be given for honors and Advanced Placement classes that carry weighted GPA status at FHHS. Students may contact a school counselor or administrator for additional information. The percentages for assigning grades and grade point averages at Fountain Hills High School are as follows:

Dual EnrollmentDual enrollment courses are college courses that are taught on the high school campus through an agreement with a community college or university. Dual credit courses require payment of college tuition. Students in dual enrollment courses attend the class on the FHHS campus as a regular part of their school day. They earn college credit for successfully completing the college-level work required in the class. Dual enrollment offerings vary each year in a variety of curricular areas. Teachers will inform students and parents of dual enrollment courses as they are available.

Independent StudyIndependent study provides students with opportunities to study areas of content beyond the regular curriculum. On a case-by-case basis, students may be allowed to earn credit by completing a course independently in cooperation with a FHHS teacher and a counselor. Independent study agreements are academic contracts developed with a specific teacher for a specific course and are managed through the FHHS counseling office. Independent study contracts are developed on a case-by-case basis; please consult with a counselor for further information. Correspondence Courses / Online ClassesStudents may enroll in a correspondence course through approved entities with prior permission from the counselor and/or administration. The amount of credit FHHS will accept for such work will be determined prior to enrollment. The student is responsible for all financial, registration, academic, and assessment obligations associated with correspondence courses. All correspondence work must be completed and an official transcript on file with FHHS by May 15th of a given school year to count for credit for that year.

Credit for Courses Completed at Non-District SchoolsCore credit for purposes of this policy shall be the credits specifically named as required for graduation by the State Board of Education in R7-2-302.02. The district welcomes students who were previously enrolled in a school outside of the district and wish to

transfer to Fountain Hills High School. The district will encourage such students to meet with a counselor to discuss transfer of course credits and placement in courses that will enable the student to earn a high school diploma and meet the student’s personal interests. Credits earned by a student in ninth grade or higher at a non-district school will be accepted by Fountain Hills High School as elective credits for graduation purposes. Fountain Hills High School will accept a credit as a core subject credit for graduation purposes under any of the following four standards designed to ensure that a course credit reflects the student’s proficiency in the subject matter of the course:

1. The course (or a similar course) is offered in the District curriculum, and the transfer course was provided by a secondary school that is an accredited Arizona college or university or is fully accredited (excluding special purpose and distance learning designations) by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges or such other accrediting agencies as determined by the Superintendent;2. The student demonstrates competency in the subject matter of the course by earning a grade of 70% or better on an end-of semester examination administered by the district;3. With regard to certain mathematics or English language arts credits, the student has demonstrated proficiency by obtaining a passing score on the high school AzMERIT test. 4. The student obtains prior approval and completes a course in a core or elective subject, and is concurrently enrolled at an accredited Arizona community college or university. The student may receive credit, with one-half high school credit awarded for each three-semester hour college or university course.

(FHUSD Governing Board Policy JFABC-R) Teacher Assistant:Through an application process, students may be assigned to a teacher’s classroom or an office on campus to serve as an assistant (TA). Assistants will be assigned to a program based on factors such as: student’s application and interest areas; the number of assistants requested by staff; and assurance of adequate supervision; etc. Students who wish to be considered as a teacher assistant must submit at TA application during the registration process in the spring.
