SCHEDULING PROCESS

This booklet is a synopsis of the courses to be offered during the 2012-2013 school year. It includes required and elective courses and activities for grades nine, ten, eleven, and twelve. It is designed to help students and parents select courses for pre-enrollment for the 2012-2013 school term. To be offered, each course must have a specified number of pre-enrolled students. Demand for the course and classroom avail-ability determines class offerings.

Freshman Academy:The scheduling process begins with the scheduling team, consisting of counselors and administrators, meeting with groups of students and parents to explain the various aspects of the program of studies, as well as the overall sequence and limitations of the scheduling process. Students and parents are then encouraged to begin planning the student’s individual program. It is the joint responsibility of school and family to ensure that each student is correctly enrolled and meets any prerequisite requirements.

High School:The scheduling process begins when the counselors meet with their students to explain the various aspects of the high school program of stud-ies and graduation requirements. CAP Advisors and teachers assist students in course selections. CAP Conferences are then held with parents andstudentstoanswerquestionsandfinalizeenrollment.Aspartofthehighschoolguidanceprogram,academiccounselorsareavailabletoassist students with their future planning and course selection.

PART I: PLANNING GUIDE

FOUR-YEAR GRADUATION PLANNING FORM

The purpose of this model is to show your four-year program in its entirety. Although you may change your mind many times as you progress, it is always wise to have a planned program. To avoid needless errors and omissions long-range planning cannot beover-emphasized.Fillinthecoursesyouhavetakenand/orplantotakeinhighschool.Includethecorecreditsrequiredforgraduation. College-bound students include a minimum of 16 core credits to meet college admission requirements.

1. Credits are earned on a semester basis. A student receives credit for each semester that a passing grade is received in a given subject.

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT IN COLLEGE FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS - High School juniors and seniors who have taken the ACT may be eligible to enroll in college courses while attending high school. Students who choose to concurrently enroll must be able to earn the required credits for graduation by the end of the spring semester of their senior year. JHS will award academic/core credit for college courses that correlate to JHS courses. Elective credit will be given to courses if there is no correlation between the concurrent enrollment course and a JHS course. These credits will count toward JHS graduation credit requirements. Students who concurrently enroll will drop one course at Jenks High School for every 3 hours of college coursework in which they enroll. If a student drops their concurrent enrollment course, a JHS course must be added. The college will provide JHS with a list of students who are enrolled in concurrent courses after the DROP dates. Students CANNOT take EOI courses for concurrent enrollment. English 12 must be taken at JHS. Students should rememberthatconcurrentenrollmentcoursesbegintheirofficialcollegetranscriptwhichmustbepresentedtoanyfuturecollegetheyattend.

To enroll at TCC, juniors must have an ACT composite score of 21 and seniors must have a 19. Juniors and seniors must score at least 19 (ACT) in the subject area in which they want to enroll.

Subjects offered throughspecialeducationclassesincludemath,languagearts,socialstudies,science,survivalskills,andIndividualizedcooperativework.JHS practices the inclusion of special education students into the regular classroom with special services support whenever appropriate and all students are required to complete the State Graduation requirements. Grades are determined according to each student’s ability and the objectives stated in his/her Individual Education Plan (IEP) written on an annual basis. In order to qualify for special education services, testing and placement through the Special Services Department must occur and parental consent must be obtained after parents participate on an Intervention Team with teachers and counselors while classroom observations for several weeks is completed. The Intervention Team will then make recommendations for accommodations in the classroom or recommend that testing be done.

SCHOOL-TO-WORK - The nationwide School-to-Work movement maintains that students should have the opportunity for a work experience prior to graduation from high school. Skills learned on the job, including communication, reliability, and the ability to develop good working relationships, will serve students well throughout their lives. Jenks High School offers work opportunities for high school credit only through the following programs: marketing, agricultural education, and special education.

PLAN scores help students and parents identify: skills and knowledge needed to succeed in high school and in post-secondary education/training, areas where they need extra help in courses, and career areas that match their interests. PLAN provides an estimated ACT score-one of the best indicators of readiness for post secondary education/training. PLAN scores in reading and math are part of the application process into the Tulsa Tech programs.

CAREER ACTION PLAN (CAP) - Students (9-12) participate monthly in the JHS Career Action Plan program through Advisory. The CAP curriculum includes the following: improvements for long-term employment, skills and background to make decisions about education and careers, self-awareness, option awareness, decision making and planning. Students will also learn how to calculate their GPA and their credits earned and required for graduation. CAP also provides students with information in preparing for college such as resume writing, completing college applications, obtaining letters of recommendation, what to look for in a college, making college visits, choosing a college and obtaining scholarships. Annual CAP conferences with parent/student/advisor help update the student’s CAP Resume Portfolio and select courses for the next school year.

PART II: FRESHMAN ACADEMYCOURSE DESCRIPTIONS

BusinessThe Department of Business Education has two objectives:

To provide students with a thorough understanding of the organization, functions, methods, and social significance of the American system of business enterprise. An emphasis is also placed on managing personal affairs.

soCiAl stuDiesThe social studies may be defined with one word. That word is people. People live in a specific place – which is geography. They live during a specific time – which is history. They earn a living and exchange goods and services – which is consumerism. They live among various groups – families, tribes, and communities – which are sociology and psychology. They organize themselves or are organized into political units of many kinds – which is government.

The goal of the social studies program is to work toward the development of each student into a person capable of functioning in and understanding all of these disciplines. Students develop and apply the following: use of reference materials, techniques for reading and interpreting different kinds of subject matter, organization of information, critical thinking, and oral and written expression.

soCiAl stuDiesSocial studies may be defined with one word. That word is people. People live in a specific place – which is geography. They live during a specific time - which is history. They earn a living and exchange goods and services - which is consumerism. They live among various groups - families, tribes, and communities - which is sociology and psychology. They organize themselves or are organized into political units of many kinds - which is government.

The goal of our high school social studies program is to work toward the development of each student into a person capable of functioning in and understanding all of these disciplines. Students develop and apply such skills as the following: use of reference materials, techniques for reading and interpreting different kinds of subject matter, organization of information, critical thinking, and oral and written expression.

reQUired CoUrSeS:Students in grades nine, ten and eleven are required to enroll in specific social studies courses each year as follows: Grade 9: Oklahoma History and U. S. Government. Grade 10 - U.S. History 1850 - Present. Grade 11 - World History. Students at grade 10 may choose to take AP U.S. History if they meet all requirements for that course. Students at grade 11 may choose to take AP World History if they meet all requirements for that course. Students enrolling at Jenks Public Schools after the ninth grade must earn credit for Oklahoma History and U. S. Government in order to fulfill graduation requirements.
