THE REGISTRATION PROCESS

As you select courses for the next year, you will need to take

into account graduation requirements, college admission

standards, and your own academic performance. The

information provided on these first pages is important as you

make decisions. Students are responsible for scheduling

courses to comply with graduation requirements. Please

contact your counselor if you need assistance. Current and

former teachers are an excellent resource for determining

courses such as Advanced Placement, honors and the sequence

of courses. The following is an outline of the registration

process:

1. Counselors will distribute course registration

materials to current students by grade level.

2. Course registration will be done through

Skyward Family/Student Access. Directions and

an online tutorial will be available on the HHS

website to walk you through the online

registration process.

Every attempt will be made to meet all requests, but in some

cases, scheduling conflicts will occur. Students should

register for at least two alternate courses. No courses changes

will be allowed after three days.

COURSE CHANGES

Each year, Hortonville High School creates a master schedule

for the following school year which reflects students’ course

requests made during course registration. Faculty members

are employed, textbooks are purchased and rooms are assigned

on the basis of these requests, thus, once a student enrolls in a

course, he/she is expected to remain in the course. Careful

consideration of course selection by the student and parent

with input from the counselor prior to course registration is

critical to this process.

Students requesting a course change will need to complete a

“Schedule Change” request form. The form must be

completed before any change will be considered. Schedule

changes cannot be made if there are no seats available in

course requested. Schedule changes that only involve a

teacher change will not be considered, unless a letter from

a parent is attached giving specific reasons, which will then

be reviewed by the administration. Schedule changes

requested after the 3-day time period, may result in the student

receiving an F for the course. A course may be changed for

the following reasons:

Medical excuse with physician documentation,

Early Graduation plans (Completed Application)

Acceptance into the Youth Options program (Grades

11 & 12), (Schedule from Post-Secondary School),

School Supervised Work Release (Completed

Application & Job)

Summer School Class (took class over the summer),

Significant changes to a student’s post high school

plans.

Course needs to be added to meet a graduation

requirement.

All other reasons will be taken under consideration by the

Counselors and Administration.

Seniors requesting a schedule change will need to make sure

all colleges/universities admission status is not compromised

by the changes. Universities have informed the school, that if

you have been accepted and you change your courses without

their acknowledgement, your admission status may be

compromised.

LATE ARRIVAL/EARLY RELEASE

The privilege of “Late Arrival/Early Release” shall be granted

second semester to Hortonville High School seniors who meet

the academic, attendance, and discipline standards set forth by

the Hortonville Area School District Board of Education.

Please reference Policy #5461 for more information. Seniors

must enter a course request for Late Arrival 1st hour (8056) or

Early Release 8th hour (8060). Senior students who qualify

will be allowed one hour a day. If you do not enter a request

for one of these hours at the time of course registration, your

schedule most likely cannot be changed to accommodate the

release.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR

SCHEDULING

Know the Graduation Requirements (page 5).

Students are required to enroll in a minimum of six

classes one semester and seven classes for credit the

other semester (a minimum of 6.5 credits per school

year).

Many classes have prerequisites that must be taken prior

to enrolling in the class.

Choose your electives carefully. Course changes may not

be available to you after schedules are made.

A course may not be used to complete a credit

requirement in more than one area.

Seniors must pass a minimum of five credit classes per

semester for graduation.

All students must meet their 36 hours of community

service.

COURSE FEES

Some courses have enrollment fees to cover the cost of

consumable supplies and resources used by students.

Fees are listed with the course descriptions. Technology

Education and Art fees vary from student to student

depending on the cost of materials for the projects the

student selects. (The School Board may also raise

course fees when adopting the school district budget).

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

During the four years of high school, students are

establishing an educational foundation for their future.

This may include immediate employment after

completing high school, enlistment in one of the military

services, or post-high school education or training.

Factors which are important for each student’s future

are:

1. The selection of courses while in high school.

2. The grades received which determine the grade point

average and the student’s rank within the class.

3. The attendance record which includes both

absenteeism and tardiness.

4. The activities in which a student has participated,

both in and outside of school; the personal

recommendations of teachers, counselors, and

administrators.

Careful selection of high school courses is essential for

students considering post-high school education, which

may include colleges, technical schools, and military

academies. Please consider carefully the following

recommendations as they may affect your future plans.

POST HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION

PLANNING

1. Always check the website, catalog or brochure of the

school in which you are interested and select courses

necessary to meet the entrance requirements of that

particular school. Counselors can also help you

interpret admission requirements.

2. Students planning to attend a college or university

may want to take the Preliminary Scholastic

Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying

Test (PSAT/NMSQT) as juniors. This examination

helps students to assess and compare their verbal and

mathematical reasoning abilities. It can also provide

students with an estimate of their probable

performance on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)

which is a college entrance examination, and is the

qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship.

See your counselor for details.

3. Colleges may require the American College Test

(ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) as

entrance examinations. If either is required, we

suggest that you take it in the spring or summer after

your junior year or no later than the fall of your

senior year. The ACT will be administered at HHS

to every junior, at no cost to the student.

4. Students planning to attend a college or university

should plan to take algebra, geometry, and advanced

algebra and are encouraged to take as much

mathematics as they can successfully complete. Post

high school programs vary in their mathematics

requirements for admissions.

5. Students should consider taking chemistry and

physics. If a scientific or medical field is

considered, student should take as much science as

possible depending upon interest and school

requirements. Always check the website, catalog or

brochure of the school in which you are interested.

6. Although not all colleges require a foreign language

for admittance, many schools require it for college

graduation. These schools usually accept high

school foreign language as one way of meeting their

foreign language requirement. Students should

always consult the specific college requirements.

7. If students know what interest areas they are going to

pursue, they should take the advanced courses

offered in the high school curriculum.

8. Students should be aware and consult with their

counselor about opportunities for college credit

through:

a. Advanced Placement (AP) Courses

These college-level courses taken at

Hortonville High School enable students to

receive college credit if they elect to take and

pass the AP exam.

b. Cooperative Academic Partnership Program

(CAPP) Courses

CAPP is an agreement between the

University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and

Hortonville High School. It provides

students in grades 11 and 12 opportunities to

take college level courses at Hortonville High

School if they meet UW-Oshkosh

requirements. To enroll in CAPP, students

need to meet ONE of the following

requirements:

Class rank in the top 25% of their class

Have a 3.25 GPA or higher on a 4.0

scale

Have an ACT score of 24 or higher

AND be either in the upper 50% of their class

OR have a GPA of 2.75 or above.

For exceptional students who do not qualify

under the above guidelines, a Teacher

Recommendation Form may be submitted.

By completing introductory college courses,

students are often able to move directly to

more advanced courses when they get to

college. Students will receive dual credit for

CAPP coursework – high school credit as

well as college credit. High school teachers

give the high school grades. The university

grade is recorded on the student’s university

transcript. Credit earned in CAPP is

7

transferable to other institutions which accept

regular University of Wisconsin credit.

There are, however, schools that do not

accept transfer credits. It is the responsibility

of each individual student to inquire at the university

he/she is planning to attend as to the transferability of

CAPP credits.

c. College Credit in High School (CCIHS)

CCIHS is an agreement between the

University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and

Hortonville High School. This concurrent

enrollment program offers college credit

courses within high schools and provides

opportunities for academically qualified high

school students to engage in college-level

learning experiences. Taught by qualified and

approved high school faculty, students pursue

rigorous advanced subjects and earn college

credit upon successful completion. Student

course eligibility criteria are determined by

UW-Green Bay in collaboration with

participating high schools. For more

information, please us the following link:

http://www.uwgb.edu/ccihs/html/studentInfo.a

sp

d. Technical College Tech Prep Hortonville High School has an agreement with

Fox Valley Technical College whereby certain

classes taken at Hortonville High can provide

eligibility for advanced standing for a student

who pursues an associate degree or technical

diploma at FVTC. (See class listing for

Hortonville’s advanced standing courses with

FVTC.) NOTE: Fox Valley Technical College

will make the determination of awarding

advanced standing. Hortonville High School has

also articulated with FVTC for transcripted

(dual) credit. In addition to receiving a high

school transcript, grades are posted an official

technical college transcript and tabulated in the

student’s technical college GPA. (See class

listing for Hortonville’s transcripted credit

courses with FVTC.)

e. Youth Options/Course Options Youth Options is an opportunity for juniors and

seniors to earn credits on-site at a local technical

college/university campus. Participating in

Youth Options requires approval by the high

school counselor principal and post-secondary

school. For a four-year college course, students

must be in the top 25% of their class. For the WI

Technical College system, students must have a

minimum of a 2.0 GPA to be considered a

student in good standing. See page 45 for

additional information.

Course Options is an opportunity for students

who are enrolled in a Wisconsin public

school district to apply to take up to two

courses at a time at an Educational

Institution. More information can be found

at http://dpi.wi.gov/courseoptions.

9. Colleges and universities help qualified students who

have financial need by offering scholarships,

grants, loans, and employment programs. For

further information, contact the specific financial

aid offices at colleges or universities that you have

10. Students may have questions about their future

educational plans. They are encouraged to make an

appointment with their counselors. Parents are

encouraged to attend the Junior Planning

conferences with their student and their student’s

counselor.

11. Please visit the HHS Counseling Webpage at the

College Planning tab for links to the University of

Wisconsin System, the Wisconsin Technical College

System, and the Wisconsin Association of Private

Colleges & Universities for specific admissions

requirements by school. You could also go to the

website of the specific educational institute you are

interested in.

12. If you are a college-bound student athlete, you will

also find links for NCAA and NAIA eligibility

information on the Counseling Webpage.

ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION

The Hortonville Alternative High School Program

provides direct services to grades 10, 11 and 12. Three

full-time teachers staff the program. The instructors are

responsible for coordination of the program with the

main building, day to day operation, supervision and

teaching of students under direction from the high school

administration.

Alternative Education uses curriculum aligned with the

essential learning standards created by the departments

at HHS. Students work independently in a self-paced

environment. Students may also take classes at the main

building.

Entrance: Students are referred by School

Counselors, Administration, Parents, Teachers, or

student self-referral through the Counseling

Department.

Student eligibility is assessed based on status of “Legally

at Risk” according to Wisconsin state statute, need for

credit remediation, as well as other educational and/or

personal factors that indicate the need for support. The

Alternative Education teachers interview candidates

prior to each semester. Placement in Alternative

Education is voluntary and enrollment is limited.
