ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF & PHONE NUMBERS

NOTICE TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS

In an effort to provide educational enhancements for students beyond the curriculum routinely offered, donations in certain courses historically have been collected in Seminole County Public Schools on a voluntary contribution basis. Every encouragement is given to students and parents to assist Lyman High School in continuing the practice of course embellish-ment that these fees make possible. While such assistance is a practical requirement to maintain current practices, no student shall be denied the opportunity either to take any course or to participate fully in all aspects of a course in which donations are sought. Thank you for your understand-ing and commitment to excellence. Because of the numerous competi-tions and performance events for Band, ROTC, Chorus, Dance and Flag Corp, fees may be required to cover the costs of uniforms, costumes, dry cleaning, workshops, clinics, etc. Additionally, student enrollment in specific courses may be required for participation in these activities.

Attend the orientation for your grade level and listen carefully to any and all specific instructions.

Carefully read the curriculum guide to explore the various course offerings.

Talk with your parents, teachers, and your guidance counselor to gather information about what is the most appropriate course of study for you.

Complete your registration card making certain you have listed an alternate course for every elective course you have request-ed.

The total number of credits should add up to seven (7) credits. Each elective you select must contain an alternate course in case you don’t get your first choice.

Note: Honors and Standard classes have different course num-bers. Check for accuracy.

Review your course requests with your parents and have them sign your registration card.

Bring your completed registration card during your designated card pickup dates via science classes.

Students who score a Level 1 or 2 on the FCAT Reading and/or Level 1 or 2 on the Algebra or Geometry EOC will be placed in an Intensive Reading and/or Math course for the 2015-16 school year.

Your course selections will determine our instructional staff for the 2013-14 school year. Don’t sign up for a course because your friend is also signing up for the same course. Sign up for a course because you have an interest in the subject matter.

Remember you are registering for a course and not the instruc-tor.

The Class-Size Amendment prohibits class sizes of 26 or more for core classes. (English, Math, Science, Social Studies and Foreign Languages) Once you are registered for your 2015-16 classes, it will be extremely difficult to change your schedule.

SCHEDULE CHANGE POLICY

Courses may be dropped and/or added during the first five days of school if one of these conditions is met:

1. You have already earned credit in the course. 2. You failed the prerequisite for the course. 3. You are scheduled for too many or not enough courses. You may not change your schedule because you have changed your mind about a course, you do not like your lunch period, or you do not need this course for graduation. This is your opportunity to select the courses you would like to take next year. Plan carefully!! TABLE OF CONTENTS

CAREER PATHWAYSStudent’s Head-Start on a College Degree

or Certificate

Career Pathways is a partnership between Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) and Seminole State Col-lege designed to provide at no cost to the students the opportunity to get a head-start in preparing for col-lege and a career.

How does it work? A student begins Career Pathways in high school by exploring career interests through a specified sequence of high school Career and Technical Education (CTE) elective courses. Upon successful completion of the required sequence of three courses (B or above average required in the three courses), the student will be eligible to take a college level assessment test. If the student passes the assessment and enrolls in Seminole State College within 24 months after graduating from high school, he/she will receive college credit for specified cours-es which lead to the completion of an Associate in Science Degree or Technical Certificate. In program areas that are common to both Seminole State Col-lege and Valencia Community College (VCC), Career Pathways credit may be awarded at either college. There is no fee charged at Seminole State College or VCC for these Career Pathways college credits.

Below is a listing of Seminole County Career Pathways programs, including college credits earned and col-lege savings at Seminole State College (based on 2014-15 fees), for students successfully passing the assessment test(s). Please see the Seminole County Public Schools website for specific programs in each high school.
