General Information
IMPORTANT: Students who fail to meet the credit requirements for grade level advancement will remain in the same grade level the following school year. Credit deficiencies may be made up in summer school and night school. Seats in classes are reserved for students taking the class for the first time.
Graduation Requirements All students should take a challenging sequence of courses to be prepared for college and careers. Mayfield students have the opportunity to take rigorous and varied courses with excellent teachers. Parents and students share the responsibility for setting and meeting high expectations. High expectations include the following: attending classes daily, being on time, and completing the work required to provide a solid educational foundation. Academic success is a measure of motivation, a strong work ethic, regular attendance, and access to a quality education. When students sign up for courses, they should align course selection with college and career expectations, and with the intent of being the best and most qualified applicant for college or career placement. Once classes are chosen, it may not be possible for students to change classes. 24 Units are required for graduation. Students must demonstrate competence in reading, writing, math, science and social studies through the New Mexico High School Graduation Assessment (NMHSGA), and/or End of Course exams in order to graduate and receive their Diploma of Excellence. Students must take advantage of each testing session and take tests seriously. Students should demonstrate academic growth in their scores each year the graduation assessment is taken.
Programs of Study Your Next Step Plan for College and Career Readiness The state of New Mexico requires that students develop a Next Step Plan beginning in the spring of 8th grade. This plan, which is to be developed collaboratively between the student, parents, and a school designee, assists students in aligning their academic choices to their post-graduation college and career goals. The Next Step Plan is completed each year during the pre-registration process. Opportunities for exploration and skill development are abundant in courses at Mayfield High School and in cooperation with Dona Ana Community College (DACC), New Mexico State University (NMSU), and other post-secondary institutions. Additional experience is gained through ACE.

Course Selection Students should regularly review course selections with school counselors and/or case managers. In preparing for graduation, students should always consider developing a rigorous academic plan, and one that will prepare them to pass the graduation assessment. When pre-registering for classes for the following year, students must consider the following: Courses might not have had sufficient enrollment to be offered There are not sufficient teachers to staff the course Some groups of courses must be taken in sequence. Some courses have specific prerequisites which must be met or require instructor approval. Some courses are worth more than one credit and some are worth less. Be sure to account for all
credits needed for graduation (specified and elective.) For courses that require teacher approval, don’t sign up unless you have obtained the
appropriate teacher’s signature on the teacher approval form, before pre-registering. When students register for courses, the school assigns teachers to classes to meet student
demand. Schedule changes may not be possible due to seat availability. Parents and students should remember that they are registering for one year’s worth of courses. It’s important to balance academic classes with electives that support college and career goals.
Attendance Daily attendance is important to being successful in classes. Students with 8 or more absences in a year-long course, who earned a passing grade in a class, will receive an NC in addition to their grade on the report card. The NC stands for No Credit, and the student must set up and attend an Attendance Appeal Hearing in an attempt to salvage credit for their class(es) to consider removal of the NC. If a student does not appeal within the designated timeline, the credit will not be granted. Students must attend a minimum of 90% of their classes.
