Triad High School

2013-2014 Schedule Planning

Guide

Dear Students and Parents:

It is time to make plans for the 2013-2014 school year

regarding curriculum choices. This curriculum guide has been

planned and prepared to assist students and parents in selecting an

appropriate course of study for the student at Triad High School.

Students should take time to establish or review their goals, and look

at their interest and abilities prior to making course selections. Both

students and parents are encouraged to discuss these selections with

the teachers, Mr. Henson, or myself.

The class of 2014 and beyond fall under the guidelines of the

new Ohio Core, and students graduating from Triad will be required

to earn 22 credits which must include the following: English-4

credits, Math 4-credits, which must include Algebra 2, Science-3

credits which must include 1 credit in Physical Science, 1 credit in

Life Science/Biology, and one credit in advanced study in one or

more of the following sciences: Chemistry, Physics, or other Physical

Sciences, Advanced Biology or other Life Science, Astronomy,

Physical Geology, or other earth or space science, Social Studies-3

credits which must include .5 credit in American History, .5 in

Government, and .5 credit in Economics, Health-.5 credit, Physical

Education- .5 credit, or two classes, .5 in Financial Literacy, 1 credit

in Fine Arts, unless attending Ohio Hi-Point Career Center during

junior and senior year. 1 credit in Business/Computer Technology

(per approval by the Board of Education. 4.5 elective credits which

must include one or any combination of foreign languages, fine arts,

business, career-technical education, family and consumer sciences,

technology, agricultural education, science or social studies courses

not otherwise required.

To be classified as a sophomore, a student needs to have

accumulated 5 credits, a junior 11 credits and a senior 16 credits.

Any student who is even remotely interested in attending Hi Point

School should have earned 9 credits including 2- English, 2-Math, 2-

Science, 2-Social Studies, .5 Physical Education and .5 Health.

After reading over the course selections and discussing them

with the appropriate people, the last sheet in this booklet should be

filled out for the remainder of one’s years at Triad. This will help to

plan the sequence of courses to take. It does not mean that one is

bound to the courses listed in future years, but those listed for the

2013-2014 school year should not be changed unless failure dictates

the change.

In the next few weeks, Mr. Henson, our Guidance Counselor,

will meet with the students to assist them in scheduling for the 2013-

2014 school year.

Once the schedule is set there are only 3 reasons for changing

it:

1) Failed to meet prerequisite.

2) Teacher initiated change (usually due to misplacement).

3) Need to add a college requirement.

Respectfully,

Kyle Huffman

Principal

General Information

Class Rank

The Board of Education has authorized the use of a class ranking

system for students in grades 9-12 based on their final grades for all

courses included on their high school transcript. The system to be

used is detailed below.

A. At the end of the sophomore year, the junior year, at the end of the

third report period in the senior year and finally at the end of the

senior year, students will be ranked scholastically.

B. Class rank and grade point average shall be calculated on the basis

of all courses on the high school transcript for which credit has

been earned or attempted. This calculation includes grades for

courses taken for high school credit at the middle school level,

algebra.

C. Courses dropped shall be included in the computation of a

student’s grade point average when they are dropped with a

withdraw failure (W/F).

D. Quality points are numerical values assigned to grades for the

purpose of determining numerical average. Quality points shall

be assigned to grades earned in all courses for which credit is

received, as follows:

A+ = 4.0

A = 4.0

A- = 3.7

B+ = 3.33

B = 3.0

B- = 2.7

C+ = 2.33

C = 2.0

C- = 1.7

D+ = 1.33

D = 1.0

D- = 0.7

F = 0.0

E. The rank of students will be determined by grade point average.

A student’s grade point average shall be determined by dividing

the total number of quality points earned by the number of credits

included on the transcript. The grade point average shall be

reported to three decimal places (thousandths), students with the

same grade point average shall be numbered identically in rank.

(For example, if four students had the highest possible grade point

average, all four would be ranked first; the student(s) with the

next highest grade point average would be ranked fifth and so

forth).

F. A student’s grade point average and rank in class shall be entered

on his/her record and shall be subject to the Board’s policy on

release of student records. Rank in class shall be entered on the

student’s records and on all transcripts.

G. The principal or designee shall provide written communication

with colleges and universities to which students apply through the

following:

a. Explanation of the class rank policy on the school

profile

b. A separate more detailed explanation of the class rank

policy will be included with the mailing of seventh

semester grades and final transcripts upon request.

H. The high school shall provide an estimate of class rank only when

essential, such as for certain scholarship applications.

College Days Procedure

A college visit is critical when deciding which school to attend.

Seniors and juniors may be excused from school to visit a campus

during the school day. Seniors will be excused for 3 college visits a

year and juniors will be excused for 2. If students are to be excused

for college visits they will need to bring a note from their parents one

week prior stating that the student is making a college visit. The

student will receive a form that the college will complete. This form

needs to be returned for the visit not to count as an absence. A

student must be passing all classes for the interim or semester to visit

a college.

Credit Flexibility

The Triad Board of Education is in the process of adopting a policy

for a credit flexibility program as mandated by the Ohio Department

of Education. The program must include the following components:

a. Any student will be eligible to be considered for

alternative ways of earning high school credit, but students

must be capable of meeting the conditions necessary to

earn the credit.

b. School and students will pre-identify and agree on the

learning outcomes of alternative learning option,

(personalized learning plan).

c. Students may earn credits through a variety of options:

complete the regular classes in a regular classroom setting,

test out of a course and earn credit without having to be in

the regular classroom setting, educational options which

may include Aventa online curriculum, post secondary

options, dual enrollments, independent study,

correspondence courses, etc.

d. Issuance of credit will be determined locally, by teachers

as part of a multidisciplinary team, a professional panel

from the community, or a state performance-based test.

e. Courses and educational options may be counted for full

or partial credit and/or credit in more than one area, such

as academic and career technical credit.

f. Students who “test out” of course work must use one or

more mechanisms from the state’s pre-approved list,

including various commercial assessments or

performance-based means.

g. Students may have an appeals process available should

their proposed alternative learning plan be denied by the

district.

h. Credits earned through this alternative means will be

reflected on students’ transcripts in the same way as

traditional credits.

AVENTA

Aventa Learning is an online learning option offering courses that

students make take for enrichment or credit recovery. Students who

wish to expand their curricular choices beyond the courses taught in

the traditional classroom may register for a course through Aventa.

Families are responsible for assuming one-half of the course

enrollment fee with the district assuming the other one-half of the

cost. At this time, courses cost $150 per semester. Students who

have unsuccessfully attempted a core curriculum course may register

for a credit recovery option. Credit recovery courses allow students

who are credit deficient to earn credits at an accelerated rate in an

attempt to return to proper credit levels for graduation.

Dual Enrollment

Currently four options exist for Triad High School students to earn

dual enrollment credit-credit earned as high school credit and as

college credit. Those options are through completion of Anatomy and

physiology, pre-calculus and calculus with at least a C average,

College Readiness and Political Science. The college credit is earned

through the University of Findlay or Urbana University. Students

must have a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for dual enrollment credit

Dropping a Class

Students are permitted to drop a class only upon the recommendation

of the teacher and with the approval of the guidance counselor and/or

principal. Dropping a class after the 5th week of the course will result

in taking an “F” for the year and a zero will be averaged into the

cumulative grade point average.

Semester Exams

The high school operates on a special exam schedule at the end of

each semester. All courses in high school require students to take

semester exams that count as 1/5 of the semester average.

College Admission Requirements

Post-Secondary Option

As part of Senate Bill 140, the State of Ohio has created the Post

Secondary Enrollment Option Program. This program is designed

to allow students to take courses at any of the colleges and

universities on the State approved list during high school. The

credit for these courses can be counted for college credit and high

school credit. Under Option B of this program the cost of these

classes are paid for through the state. This program is fairly

complex and, if you are interested, you need to follow the steps

below, plus have a 3.0 cumulative G.P.A.

1) Discuss your plans with your parents and your

counselor. Your counselor can help you decide if you

are eligible to participate.

2) Attend a Post Secondary Option meeting and turn in

the form that indicates your intent to participate in the

program by March 30. This form is in a packet of

information available in the Guidance Office.

3) Obtain an application for admission in the post-

secondary institution from your guidance counselor.

Provide all the information and signatures on the

application and be aware of the deadlines.

4) Once accepted into a post-secondary institution, you

may be required to attend an orientation meeting there

or to schedule diagnostic testing.

5) Work with your high school counselor to adjust your

Triad schedule and to check credits and required

courses.

In considering the benefits of this option students and parents may

want to consider the following:

1) The student must provide transportation to and from

the college.

2) College calendars and schedules vary and frequently

do not coincide with the Triad calendar and schedule.

3) College grades will be entered on the student’s

transcript for those courses counted toward graduation

and will be calculated on a 4.0 scale for the student’s

cumulative grade point average.

4) Students who use this option to fulfill graduation

requirements in high school must be extremely careful

in their course selection to make sure that the college

courses taken meet specific graduation requirements.

5) This program does not exempt a student from

proficiency tests.

6) This program does not alter the minimum number of

enrolled credits or courses required at Triad High

School.

7) Students will not be permitted to drop a high school

course currently in progress to enroll in a post

secondary program.

Graduation Test

The Ohio Graduation Test is given to all students during the spring of

their sophomore year.

Ohio Hi-Point Joint Vocational School District

Bylaws and Policies

CONDITIONAL ENROLLMENT

Students who do not meet the established prerequisites must have a

conditional enrollment plan in place that will identify how the student

intends to ensure successful completion of the desired vocational

program and to ensure high school graduation. The plan might

include such things as attendance requirements as well as make-up of

deficiency credits through summer school or correspondence courses.

This plan must be completed and approved by a District guidance

counselor, a District supervisor, the member school counselor, the

student and the parent. If the student is unable to meet the conditions

set forth in the plan, the review team will meet to decide if the student

should return to the member school or be placed in the GED program.

ADMISSION WITH LESS THAN FIVE (5) CREDITS

Students who have been enrolled for two (2) years of high school and

have accumulated less than five (5) units or credit may be considered

for admission by filing notice with the guidance department by June

15th. This notice shall follow the customary procedures as established

within each member school district. The student will be required to

participate in vocational assessment prior to the beginning of school.

When possible, this assessment will be given before the school term

ends in the spring. Following the assessment, a placement conference

will be held involving the parent. Placement will be determined as a

result of data obtained through the assessment process.

Students having less than five (5) units of credit will be considered on

a probationary status during the first semester of enrollment. Any

student receiving a failing grade in any course, being suspended or

expelled, or accruing more than five (5) unexcused absences during

either the first or second grading period may cause a review

committee consisting of the Ohio Hi-Point director, guidance

counselor and member school representative to be convened. The

committee will determine the appropriate options of returning to the

member school or pursuing the GED/Vocational Track at Ohio Hi-

Point. The decision of the review committee shall be put in writing

and shall be discussed with the student and parents. This decision

shall be final and binding unless appealed to the Superintendent.

A student moving into a member school district after June 15th who

wishes to enroll at Ohio Hi-Point but has accrued less than five (5)

units of credit shall follow the same procedures, but shall undergo

assessment and follow-up immediately prior to or during the first

week of school.

A student who previously attended Ohio Hi-Point, returned to a

member school district and subsequently decided to re-enroll at Ohio

Hi-Point shall undergo the assessment procedures as outlined above.

This assessment will occur either prior to school opening or during

the first two (2) weeks of school. ENROLLMENT OF IEP STUDENTS

In order to make certain that an IEP student is placed in the most

appropriate program and the program in which he/she is most likely

to succeed, all IEP students are required to complete a vocational

assessment at Ohio Hi-Point’s Career Center prior to placement.

Because placement in one of Ohio Hi-Point’s career-technical

programs constitutes a “change of placement” (per Ohio Revised

Code and IDEA regulations), no IEP student will be placed without

an updated IEP reflecting the change of placement to Ohio Hi-Point

Career Center.

Qualifications for Instructors UF-USA teachers are typically experienced high school teachers who are committed

to staying current with both pedagogy and content through reading, research and

ongoing professional development. They are committed to challenging themselves

and their students to meet high standards of teaching and learning. These teachers

value participation in a dynamic community of learners. Although requirements vary by department, minimum requirements for UF-USA teachers, effective the 2010-11 academic year, include:

A master’s degree in the content area or a master’s degree in education which includes the equivalent of 18 semester hours of advanced training in the relevant subject (i.e. content-specific graduate courses, workshops, seminars and curriculum development)

One year experience teaching the course at the high school level Recommendation of the district superintendent and building principal Recommendation of the UF faculty based on successful

completion of the summer training institute

Summer Training Workshops Teachers must attend the summer workshops in order to participate in the program.

They will receive 1-3 semester hours of graduate credit at no cost for successfully

completing the workshop. Reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate returning

teachers who are unable to attend the scheduled renewal training. However, teachers

new to the program must be able to attend the initial training as scheduled.

Participation Fees School districts pay $1200 per teacher per course for the first year of participation,

and $600 for successive years. These fees cover training and mentoring costs for the

teachers, as well as graduate credit for the summer workshop.

Qualifications for Students Students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale may participate in the concurrent enrollment program. Except for ENGL 104 and ENGL 150, students who have a GPA between 3.0 and 3.2 may be accepted with a letter of recommendation from the teacher, principal or counselor. The following courses require a cumulative GPA of 2.8: Environment and Society, Introduction to Computers, Animal Science, Personal Finance.

Student Registration Procedures and Deadlines Student registration forms must be signed by the student, parent, and school representative, and submitted with a high school transcript by July 1 for fall semester courses and by January 17 for spring semester courses.

September 27, 2013 will not receive any refund or adjustment. The comparable date for

spring semester classes is January 30, 2014. Registered students who withdraw from

fall courses and notify the university after October 30, 2013 (March 24, 2014 for spring

courses) will receive a letter grade of “F” for the course. It is not a requirement that all students in the class be taking the course for college credit.

38.

Student Tuition School districts are billed directly for student tuition. Tuition for 2013-14 is $250 per student for a three credit course, and $300 per student for a four credit course. Payment from school districts is due November 30 for fall semester and March 31 for spring semester.

Textbooks Textbooks used in the dual enrollment classes must be approved by the UF faculty.

Teachers should bring their textbook to the summer training. It is recommended that,

if at all possible, schools purchase the same textbook that is used on campus.

Course Syllabus UF-USA teachers must submit their course of study/syllabus to the UF faculty for approval prior to the start of the school year. The high school course of study must include all content covered in the UF syllabus. High school teachers may be asked to submit assignments, tests and/or projects throughout the year to the UF faculty to assure the integrity of the UF course.

Faculty Internet Access UF-USA teachers may need to use their UF email accounts to utilize web-based course

management functions and to receive UF correspondence. Schools or their districts

agree to provide internet access for teachers to the UF Blackboard website.

Class Size Limits UF English and Spanish classes have a maximum class size of 20 students. High school classes must agree to respect the class size limits for those classes in which students are enrolled for UF credit. If more than 20 eligible students desire to enroll in the English classes, a diagnostic test is available to assist schools in selecting the 20 students for the class.

Grades Students are to be graded using the UF grading scale as found in the syllabus. Grades

for fall semester courses are recorded in mid-December. If the class extends beyond

that date, a grade of ‘EC’ will be reported. This grade will be changed when the final

grade is reported. Teachers should submit final grades to David Rossman on the roster

provided by the university. If high schools use a different grading scale, teachers have

the option of assigning students two different grades, one for their high school

transcript and the other for the UF transcript.

Student Teachers Student teachers may not be given the responsibility of instructing dual enrollment classes.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The FERPA law gives students the right to privacy while enrolled at a

college/university. Parents will not receive college information regarding their

student. The FERPA law also applies to students enrolled in dual enrollment classes. 39.
