Hurley High School Planning Guide

Fully Accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools

MSIP Approved

A+ Schools Designation

This Planning Guide represents the earnest desire of the faculty, staff and administration, for every student to succeed. Please consider this a guidebook for planning your future. We are a school that takes great pride in all of our efforts to be the best we can be. Our hope is that each of you will exhibit Tiger Pride in all you do, including planning your future.

Now is the time to begin to focus on a career. Regardless which career path you choose, we believe that Hurley High School offers you an excellent array of courses with content that can prepare you for entry into the work force, military enlistment, or enrollment in a vocational-technical school, a two-year community college, or a four-year college/university. The information in this booklet is intended to assist you as you make plans for a career that will lead to a rewarding and enjoyable future.

We challenge you to set high standards for yourself, select courses and organizations which will advance you toward those goals, attend classes daily, and work hard to achieve your goals.

Counselor’s Message

TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS:

This Planning Guide has been designed to assist students in planning their academic schedule both for the upcoming school year and for the remainder of their high school education. With input from their parents/guardians, teachers, and guidance counselors we believe that students will be able to develop a schedule that will best meet their individual needs, interests, goals and abilities. Your high school program of studies should be planned with your post-high school objectives in mind. It is strongly recommended that students and parents periodically review the requirements for graduation. Admission standards for several area colleges and the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education's Minimum College Admissions Requirements are provided for your convenience.

Serious consideration of courses, and well thought out planning will greatly reduce course conflicts and schedule changes. Students will also benefit from the careful review of elective course offerings which will allow for the expansion of their own interests. In addition to the courses taught on the Hurley High School campus, juniors and seniors have the option of enrolling in several vocational-technical programs taught at Gibson Technical Center in Reed's Spring. In such cases that HHS students take advantage of the off-campus opportunities, they are responsible for any meetings, assemblies, or announcements that they might miss during the time that they are gone.

We sincerely hope that the high school experience will be both enjoyable and rewarding for all Hurley students. For students to achieve the greatest success, it is imperative that they develop a sense of responsibility and learn organizational skills. Therefore, we encourage parents/guardians to hold their sons/daughters accountable for completing homework and assignments, studying for tests, and meeting deadlines. Also, talking with your son/daughter about a variety of jobs and occupations, and discussing the necessary training and skills needed to be successful in those jobs is helpful. Communication and cooperation between home and school will always enhance our ability to meet the student's needs, so we encourage you to contact us anytime during the school year.

Katie Clopton Counselor

Enrollment Policy Statement

Students and parents are expected to give serious thought to course selections. An investigation into the nature and content of courses should be a vital part of every student's course selection process. It is the ultimate responsibility of the students and their parents to make sure that all graduation requirements are fulfilled as they make course selections.

Students who fail courses have two options available to them to make up the failed credit. 1) Students can repeat the course; 2) take the course in summer school if it is offered. Students who fail any required course must enroll in the failed course in the following semester or summer school. Seniors who fail required first semester courses must enroll in those courses second semester (if it is offered). Students must enroll in required credits before they will be allowed to enroll in elective courses

Leadership Opportunities

Students interested in advancing their potential and developing their leadership skills may choose to become involved in co- curricular activities that offer positions of responsibility. Decision-making, planning, organizing, leading, and accepting responsibilities are a few of the goals established in these experiences. Please discuss with the organization sponsor, teacher, or counselor how you may participate in any of the following.

Advanced classes are classes that are the second-level—Spanish II, Biology II, etc.

Credit: The numerical value received for successful completion of a particular course. One full-year, full-block instruction equals one credit; one-semester full-block instruction equals one-half credit.

Elective: A course that may be chosen for study (as distinguished from courses which are requirements).

Grade Point Average (GPA): The average numerical value of all grades earned

Numerical value assigned to a letter grade:

A 4.000 B 3.000 C 2.000 D 1.000 A- 3.667 B- 2.667 C- 1.667 D- .667 B+ 3.333 C+ 2.333 D+ 1.333 F 0

Prerequisite: This is a condition that must be met in order to enroll in a course. For example, successful completion of Biology I is a prerequisite for Biology II.

Repeated Courses: Students who have earned a low grade in a prerequisite course may, with approval, repeat the course in an effort to meet a prerequisite grade but will receive only one credit for a full-year course that is completed and then repeated. Students taking courses for the first time will have priority over students repeating courses if class sizes dictate a limited enrollment. All grades earned will remain on the transcript and will be a part of the G.P.A. This allows for G.P.A. improvement, but does not erase original efforts.

Requirements: A course that is necessary for graduation.

Summer School: HHS students have the opportunity to take a number of courses in summer school. Summer school grades are pass/fail. Summer school grades will not be included in computing high school GPA. NCAA and some colleges interpret any pass/fail grades as a D- (.667 grade points).

SPECIAL SERVICES

The district provides comprehensive services for all resident children with disabilities as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Amendments of 1997 and Chapter 162, RSMo. Students eligible for these services are offered core curriculum subjects, class-within-a-class settings and tutorial help through study skills classes. Students are included in general education classes based on the least restrictive environment determined by the Individual Education Plan team. Information related to transition and support through Guidance and Counseling is available to all students. As needed, students receive therapy through Speech and Language Therapist, Occupational and Physical Therapists. District performance objectives, when appropriate, will be addressed through subject matter based on the child's individual needs and abilities as stated on his/her Missouri Show Me Individual Education Plan. Mathematics, social sciences, language arts, science, study skills and life skills are offered. Based on the requirements set forth in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) students who meet the criteria may qualify for a 504 Plan to facilitate academic progress and prevent any form of discrimination based on disability. Students with a 504 Plan are provided with services in the general education classroom, which are designed to promote and support academic success.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

The educational objectives for special needs students in Hurley provide learning experiences in an environment that recognizes each student as a unique individual with special abilities. The development of an Individual Educational Plan, implementation of appropriate accommodations/modifications to meet individual needs and attainable goals are set for each student and are designed to promote school success and positive feelings of self-worth, the evaluation of student progress on a regular basis and provide the opportunity for each student to become a productive member of our society. Class content in modified classes is based on the state curriculum framework and the Show-Me standards. Procedural safeguards are available from the Special Education Director, Kallie Beebe.

A+ SCHOOLS PROGRAM

At Hurley High School, we believe that the education of all students is important, regardless of their plans following high school. We realize that a large number of our graduates will choose to attend a four-year college or university, others may go directly into the workforce or the military, and still others may seek additional training at a post-secondary vocational school or community college. The state A+ Schools program is designed to ensure that no matter which option is chosen, all high school students will be provided selections of courses, career counseling, technology and/or workplace skill development opportunities appropriate to their career goals.

Hurley High School has been selected by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as an A+ School site. The A+ Schools program guides students in a rigorous program of academic and technical education that will prepare them for the workplace, post-secondary vocational/technical training, or college. Statistics indicate that the major growth in present and future job opportunities lies in technical/vocational programs requiring more education than a high school diploma but less than a four-year degree. Therefore, the A+ Schools program encourages all students to focus early on a career path and set a goal, which includes some training beyond high school.

A significant part of the A+ Program is its financial incentive. As long as state funds remain, this incentive provides state- reimbursed tuition to qualified students who continue their education at a Missouri public community college or Missouri vocational/technical school. Due to state funding deficits, only tuition and fees were reimbursed by the state since the 2003/2004 school year. In order to qualify, students must attend an A+ designated school for three consecutive years and graduate from high school with a minimum 95% attendance, 2.5 grade point average, perform 50 hours of unpaid tutoring, maintain good citizenship, must receive proficient or advanced on Algebra I end of course exam and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

If you or your parents have any questions concerning the A+ Schools Program, please feel free to contact the A+ Office at 369-3271 and asking for extension 128. I will be happy to answer questions or assist you in any way.

Dr. Doug Arnold, A+ Coordinator

Students Transferring from Unaccredited Schools and/or Home Schools

Students transferring to Hurley High School from an unaccredited school and/or home school will not be awarded Hurley High School credit. Transferring from an accredited home school or online school will give the student full credit for similar classes given we receive an official transcript and course descriptions. If the student has taken classes not offered at Hurley High School, elective credit or no credit will be awarded, awarded at administrator discretion.

Students will not be enrolled and/or allowed to attend classes at HHS until all supplemental materials have been submitted and evaluated, and all credits and transcript issues have been resolved.

SCHEDULE CHANGES We make every attempt to create a master schedule that allows students to select the classes they need and want. While every effort is made to help students find a workable schedule, in some cases, conflicts exist and students must take alternate classes.The high school administrators, counselors and teachers work together in making decisions that guide students into the appropriate courses. Student performance on local, state, and national assessments is used to determine placement. Therefore, approval or rejection of student-initiated schedule changes must meet the schedule change guidelines, as well as appropriate academic abilities.

Schedule Change Deadlines:

Because HHS employs the "arena" method of scheduling, all students have the opportunity to review all classes and instructors offered for each block before making their course and teacher selections. Students will receive a copy of the schedule they built/created in April, during Open House. Schedule changes may occur within the first two days of each semester. After these deadlines, no changes will be made-NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.

Schedule Change Policies

Semester Length Courses Students may make a schedule change for a semester class, as long as they meet prerequisite requirements and/or the class is not full.

Year Length Courses - Students are expected to remain in year length courses for the entire year. The only exceptions made to this policy are:

• If the teacher believes the students is failing the class due to an inability to meet the academic requirements of

the class (the student has given his/her best effort, has taken advantages of one-on-one assistance during/before/after school and still is unable to make a passing grade. • If the student needs to drop an elective class in order to enroll in a course that is

required for graduation. • If the student is dropping an elective course to take a required course that was not available first semester. • If the student's counselor or principal believes the change will academically benefit the student, such as taking

an advanced course.

Dropping a class during the semester - Students who want to drop a class prior to the end of the semester must first have a conference including the parent, student, teacher, administrator and counselor. Only if all participants are in agreement that dropping the class is the proper solution, will the student be allowed to drop the class. It should be understood that the drop will result in an 'F' on the student's transcript, and the student will be assigned to ISS study hall for the remainder of the semester.

Graduation RequirementsIn addition to earning the required credits, graduates must pass a U. S. Constitution test and a Missouri Constitution test. Specific requirements are as follows:

Purpose of Career Paths . . . Your school is doing everything possible to assist all students in choosing and preparing for a rewarding career. A general high school program of studies is simply not enough preparation for today's colleges or for employment in today's complex workplace. Rather, the program of studies must be carefully planned and selected to help ensure that students attain their goals.

HHS has recently adopted a program of CAREER PATHS. The intent of choosing a career path is not for students to decide on a specific occupation, but to select a pathway for direction in choosing school courses and activities.

All incoming high school students will be asked to select a CAREER PATH. Read on to learn more about what CAREER PATHS mean to you.

Choosing A Career Path . . . From an early age, young people have been gaining knowledge about themselves and others and about careers that will give them an understanding of the importance of systematic career and educational planning.

*Students have been involved in activities designed to expand awareness of a variety of careers.

*Students have engaged in activities to explore careers, and will continue to do so throughout the next several years.

What If Students Change Their Minds. . .? A career path choice is not a permanent commitment. As students mature and have new experiences, they will learn new things about themselves and may want to change their career path. If students decide on a new career, they should discuss it with their counselor and adjust their four-year plan in accordance with their new career direction.

Career Paths- A Way to Look At Course Selection Career paths are clusters of occupations/careers that are combined because many of the people in them share similar interest and strengths. It is important to note that there are occupations in each path, which require different levels of education and training.

ARTS & COMMUNICATIONS Are you a creative thinker, imaginative, innovative, and original? Do you like to communicate ideas? Occupations in this path are related to the humanities and the performing, visual, literary and media arts. These may include architecture, interior design, creative writing, fashion design, film, fine arts, graphic design and production, journalism, radio, languages, television, advertising and public relations.

BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT & TECHNOLOGY Do you like being a leader, organizing people, planning activities for others and talking with important people? Occupations in this path may include entrepreneurship, sales, marketing, computer/information systems, finance, accounting, personnel, economics and management.

HEALTH SERVICES Do you like helping people who are sick or helping people stay well? Are you interested in new diseases and how the body works? Do you like observing people and looking for changes in how they are doing? Occupations in this path are related to the promotion of health and treatment of disease. These may include research, prevention and treatment, and related technologies.

HUMAN SERVICES Are you friendly, open, outgoing, understanding and cooperative? Do you like to work with people to help solve problems? Is it important to you to do something that makes things better for other people? Occupations in this path are related to economic, political and social systems. These may include education, government, law and law enforcement, leisure and recreation, military, religion, child care and social services.

INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY Are you mechanically inclined, practical? Do you like to use your hands and build things, know how things work? Occupations in this path are related to the technologies necessary to design, develop, and install or maintain physical systems. These may include engineering, manufacturing, construction, service and related technologies.

NATURAL RESOURCES/AGRICULTURE Are you a nature lover, practical, curious about the physical world, and interested in plants and animals? Do you like to be physically active, to observe, learn, investigate or solve problems? Occupations in this path may include agriculture, earth sciences, forestry, environmental sciences, fisheries, horticulture and wildlife.

+Three of these agriculture classes may be used to meet one life science credit.

SPECIAL OFFERINGS

HHS students have the opportunity to enroll in a variety of programs that with special treatment, have special responsibilities for students. These opportunities include Gibson Technical Center, Office Aide, etc. In such cases, students are responsible for any meetings, assemblies, or announcements that they might miss during the time that they are gone.

INDEPENDENT STUDY—University of Missouri This program is for students who have special academic needs that cannot be met by the current curriculum offerings or by credit options provided by the school, such as credit recovery, summer school, etc. A student must purchase an independent study course through University of Missouri. The student must assume all costs (approximately $200 per one-half credit). The student must have approval from his/her counselor and must complete a contract agreement. (One half-credit, one- semester or one-credit, one-year elective depending on the length and duration of the project.) Prerequisites: Principal approval. Seniors only.

A+ TUTOR A+ students with a signed contract on file may sign up to be an A+ tutor. This is a year-long, elective credit. A+ tutors must have exemplary skill and ability in the content-area in which they will be tutoring. Tutors are responsible to the classroom teacher of the class they are tutoring in, as well as the A+ coordinator and A+ teacher. If at any time an A+ tutor is not meeting teacher expectations, one classroom reassignment will be granted. After that point, an A+ tutor will be required to tutor outside of the school day. Prerequisite: Principal approval. Juniors and Seniors only.

ACT PREP This class offers students an opportunity to better prepare for standardized test taking and to learn about college choices. Students will review and refine their skills in grammar, vocabulary, science reasoning and math. Students will practice taking actual ACT test and will review the results. Students will become familiar with the process they will encounter at the test site and learn some simple relaxation techniques to help improve performance. (One-half credit, one-semester elective for college-bound 11-12 graders.)

COMMUNICATION ARTS
