This is a time when students, parents, teachers, and counselors work together to assist in the process of selecting the proper courses for each student. Students should take time to make sure their selections are correct and appropriate. Counselors will assist students during the registration process to ensure that graduation requirements are completed and to answer any questions or address any concerns during the process. It is vital that students take the registration process seriously. The master schedule is built based on student selections during the registration time period. Any adjustment to a student’s course selection will be limited. The registration process contains several parts: 1. Starting in January, the registration process is explained to students. Each student will receive a Clarksburg High School Course Bulletin and instructions for submitting their course selections online. Students are to register for the required courses as explained by their counselor. These materials will be distributed from the student’s counselor through their English classes. 2. Students will have one week to review their course selections with their parents. Students will be instructed on the due date for submitting their course selections. Students need to submit their computer entries on time to ensure they are registered for the courses they need and want. Students who do not submit their courses will be scheduled into courses selected by their counselor. 3. The MCPS High School Course Bulletin is an important part of the registration process. It explains many of the procedures in high schools, such as how grade point average is calculated, academic eligibility rules, criteria for enrollment in advanced level courses, the new Maryland High School Assessment, and Maryland High School diploma requirements. Please note that information, such as graduation requirements, is subject to change and may differ from what is published. Additionally, a complete description of all courses is in the booklet. Please note that the MCPS High School Course Bulletin contains descriptions for all high school courses. Note: All of those courses are not offered at Clarksburg High School.

  • High School Academic Policy Guide
    Office of Academic Policy & Systems September 2021 Edition High School Academic Policy Guide High School Academic Policy Guide Updated September 2021 1 High School Academic Policy Guide Dear Colleagues, The New York City Department of Education’s academic policy guides consolidate the many requirements for academic programming, assessments, promotion, grading, and student data into one reference document. The transition back to fully in-person learning has been a significant shift for New York City. Students, families, teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, service providers, and many others in students’ lives have had to overcome enormous challenges. In spite of this, we have not wavered in our commitment to supporting and educating our students and will continue to persevere under extraordinary circumstances. During this time, our policies must reflect the wide range of experiences and challenges that we are facing as a community. Our goal in publishing the academic policy guides is to provide you with clear interpretations of academic policies and guidance about how to apply them in different scenarios. The academic policy guides are revised each year based on changes to policies and feedback from schools and field staff. This year the academic policy guides are also designed to help schools adapt—not recreate—their policies to meet students' needs as we return to fully in-person learning. This academic policy guide is just one tool that you may use in providing rigorous academic experiences that considers their individual strengths and needs. Use this guide as a resource as you program and grade students, develop instructional supports and interventions, and set your own school-level policies.

  • How Do Universities View the IB Diploma Programme?
    How Do Universities View The IB Diploma Programme? Universities around the globe recognize the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme for excelling in preparing students for successful university educational experiences and for life in a global society. In addition to some views on IB offered by admissions professionals from Michigan and highly selective universities immediately below, in this document you will find information on: • How to investigate IB credit, standing, and scholarship opportunities offered by hundreds of universities worldwide • IB related information on Michigan’s public universities • Information on the 14 US states that have legislated policies on how their public universities will recognize IB students’ achievements • Credit, standing and scholarship information for Diploma Recipients from “IB Friendly Universities” • Credit policies of “IB Friendly Universities” for IB course students What Admissions Directors are saying: Brown University, Panetha Ott, Admissions Officer “I don’t think there is anyone who does not respect the I.B.” Duke University, Christoph Guttentag, Director of Undergraduate Admissions "One of the advantages of an IB curriculum is its structure and quality. It is a coordinated program, well established, well known and well respected. We know the quality of IB courses, and we think the IB curriculum is terrific." Harvard University, Marilyn McGrath Lewis, Asst. Dean of Admissions “Success in an IB program correlates well with success at Harvard. We are always pleased to see the credentials of the IB Diploma Program on the transcript.” GPA is not nearly as important a factor in university admission as the IB Diploma. If a student has to choose, choose the Diploma over protecting the GPA.” Michigan State University, Pamela Horne, Assistant to the Provost for Enrollment and Director of Admissions “My eyes light up when I see ‘International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme’ on a transcript.
