Prosper High School

Course Guide 2016-2017

1 House Bill 5 Graduation Information

During the 83rd Texas Legislature, House Bill 5 was signed into law, which changes high school graduation requirements for students who will be freshmen during the 2014-15 school year. This includes five End of Course Exams (English I, II; Algebra I; U.S. History; Biology) as well as 26 credits to graduate.

Part of the process is that students will select an endorsement during 8th grade to start the process of course selection and creating a personal graduation plan. All students must choose an endorsement. That endorsement may change, but will require signatures from parents, student and counselor. Students cur- rently in 11th have an option to remain on their current graduation plan or to choose an endorsement plan.

In Prosper ISD our students will be on the Distinguished Level of Achievement plan. This will allow our students the best advantage in being prepared for college, career and workforce.

A student may earn a distinguished level of achievement by successfully completing: a total of four credits in mathematics, which must include Algebra II a total of four credits in science the remaining curriculum requirements the curriculum requirements for at least one endorsement

A student must earn distinguished level of achievement to be eligible for top 10% automatic admission. Stu- dents may also earn performance acknowledgments in Dual credit; AP Exam; bilingualism/biliteracy; PSAT, SAT, or ACT; business or industry certification.

Course Selection Information

Begin with the End in Mind To assist students and parents in making important decisions about the student’s high school sequence of courses, PHS has provided a Personal Graduation Plan worksheet in the back of this Course Catalog. Stu- dents are also able to complete their plan in Career Cruising. Students should begin with the end in mind— that is by projecting their post secondary plans in order to make the best possible decisions now. Once high school comes to an end, the student’s course of study should have adequately prepared the student for post-secondary education.

Master Schedule PHS develops the master schedule for the following year based on the course requests students make in the spring. Teacher course assignments, classroom placement, and hiring of appropriately certified staff is based on student course requests. PHS offers more courses in this catalog than those that will actually ‘make’ as a way to gauge student interest in new and innovative courses. In order for a course to be offered, at least 10 students must request the course.

Course Selection Parent and student informational meetings will be held during spring registration. Students will choose courses on-line through the Career Cruising website. Students who do not submit their course selections will have courses scheduled for them by their counselor according to their academic needs, graduation plan, and course availability.

Pre-Advanced Placement and Advanced Placement Courses PHS students are encouraged to take rigorous courses which will challenge them academically. To help guide students in making appropriate level choices, Career Cruising will only allow students to register for courses in which they are enrolled or have earned credit in prerequisite courses. PHS maintains an open enrollment policy for all students for PAP/AP course but encourages personal evaluation of course require- 2 ments and students’ time commitments before enrollment.

Add/Drop Date The last day of the 2015-16 school year will officially end the opportunity for course request changes. A student who does not submit their course selections will not be eligible for a schedule change.

Schedule Changes Students are expected to make informed and wise decisions during the course selection process. It is important that students and parents give careful consideration to selecting courses. The choices students make during course selection determine the master schedule of course offerings available. The master schedule, though never perfect, is designed to maximize student opportunities and minimize scheduling conflicts. Student schedules will not be changed to select different teachers or lunch periods. Once a class schedule is formulated, the student is expected to follow that schedule.

Guidelines for changes after the Add/Drop date During the first week of school, schedule changes will be granted for the following reasons: a student is in a class for which he/she has already received credit. a student was placed in a course when the original course did not make. a student needs to be moved to balance classes. a student’s schedule has the same course listed twice or is missing a class. Students can request to level down from a Pre-AP or AP course at the end of the third week of school for a first semester course and at the end of the first semester for a second semester course. Students must complete the online schedule change form and submit it to the counseling office by the due date. The grade earned in the current class will be the grade the student begins with in the new class. In a case of a student requesting to level up to a Pre AP or AP course, the student may be required to complete additional work. Students may only level up at the end of the first three week period by a teacher recommendation.

ELECTIVE CHANGES WILL NOT BE MADE DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. Unnecessary changes compromise students ability to complete their endorsements and the master schedule. Such changes cause teachers and resources to be ineffectively utilized. Students may request PRO- GRAM changes. Examples of Programs are Athletics, Band, and Choir. In this case, the students are required to obtain approval from the director of the program and the director must submit it in writing to the counselor.

State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) Students entering the 9th grade in 2011-2012 and beyond will take five STAAR End of Course (EOC) exams as they complete the corresponding course. The 5 EOC exams are: English I, English II , Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History. The new EOC exams assess the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for a given course. The STAAR EOC exams have specific time limits.

Special Education Program A number of special education programs and classes are offered at the high school level. All special education courses are taken for credit. Placement in any special education class is dependent upon eligibility and the recommendation of the Admission, Review and Dismissal (ARD) Committee. The ARD Committee will assist the student and parent in choosing classes that are most appropriate based on the student’s Individu- alized Education Plan (IEP). Prosper ISD strongly encourages students to attend their own ARD Committee meeting when possible in order to participate in the decision-making and planning processes.

Title IX It is the policy of Prosper ISD not to discriminate on the basis of sex, handicap, race, color, or national origin in its educational and vocational programs, activities or employments as required by Title IX.

3 Graduation Programs Graduates of each high school in the state of Texas are awarded the same type of diploma. The academic achievement record, or transcript, rather than the diploma, records individual accomplishments, achieve- ments, courses completed, and displays appropriate graduation seals. Under state and local graduation requirements, students in grades 12 can choose between: the Recommended High School Program (RHSP), the Distinguished Achievement Program (DAP) or the Distinguished Level of Achievement with endorsement plan. Each of these options has different requirements for graduation. In rare cases, or by ARD Com- mittee determination, students may graduate on the Minimum High School Program or Foundation only program with parent, principal, and counselor approval.

Students entering grade 9 in 2015 or after are required to choose the Foundation and endorsement plan with Distinguished Level of Achievement.

Recommended High School Program (RHSP) The RHSP is the state of Texas provided course of study that encourages students to take a challenging sequence of courses in high school. It provides an education that prepares students to enter a technical school, a community college, a university, or the work force. The requirements of the RHSP are outlined in the table on the following page. Students under the RHSP program must also meet all STAAR testing requirements.

Distinguished Achievement Program (DAP) Students in the 12th grade may choose to participate in the Distinguished Achievement Program (DAP). In addition to completing the RHSP and an additional year of the same world language, students seeking a DAP must earn any combination of four Advanced Measures. The student may choose from the following Advanced Measures. (1) Complete an original research project that is judged by a panel of professionals; (2) Earn a score of three or above on the College Board Advanced Placement examinations; (3) Earn a score on the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT) the junior year that qualifies the student for recognition as a commended scholar or higher by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation; (4) Take college academic courses, advanced technical credit courses, and dual credit courses with a grade of 3.0 or higher. Students under the DAP must also meet all STAAR testing requirements.

Foundation with Endorsement Distinguished Level of Achievement (DLA) Students entering 9th grade in 2014 and beyond will graduate under the Foundation with Endorsement. Students in the graduating class of 2017, may choose to change to the Foundation DLA graduation program. The Foundation DLA program includes an endorsement area and Algebra II. The student must select an endorsement from: Arts & Humanities, Business & Industry, Multidisciplinary, Public Services and STEM. The Foundation DLA plan also allows for students to earn Performance Acknowledgments through outstanding performance in an AP or Dual Credit course, Bilingualism and Biliteracy, outstanding performance on the SAT, ACT, or PSAT, or by obtaining a National or International recognized business or industry certification or license. Prosper ISD strongly encourages students to purse the DLA plan.

7 Grading and Reporting Semesters and Nine Weeks PHS divides the grading periods into two semesters. Each semester is divided into two, nine-week grading periods, with a total of four nine-week grading periods for the year. To receive credit for a course, students must earn a grade of 70 for both semesters or one semester must be sufficiently high enough to equal 70 when averaged with the other semester. A student who fails both semesters of a course must repeat at least one semester during the regular or summer term and the average of the two semesters must equal 70.

Attendance Rule A student must attend a minimum of 90 percent of the days a course is held in a semester to earn credit for the course.

Skyward Family Access Skyward Family Access is a web-based information and communication center designed to provide parents with real-time information regarding student progress including: daily attendance, individual assignment descriptions and grades, progress reports and report cards, and notification of low grades, missing assignments, and discipline.

Progress Reports and Report Cards Progress reports are posted to Skyward on the 3rd and 6th week of the nine-week grading period. Report cards are posted to Skyward at the end of the nine weeks grading period. Parents may request a paper copy of progress reports and report cards.

Exclusions The following courses are excluded from the calculation of the GPA: concurrent enrollment, summer school, credit by exam, correspondence courses, credit recovery, local credit, on-line courses, and foreign exchange courses.

10 Grade Classification and Class Rank Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are classified and ranked at the end of each school year. Their grade classification remains the same throughout the school year. Seniors are classified and ranked at the end of each semester. Seniors are also ranked after the third nine weeks to determine graduation honors. The seniors’ official grade point average is available at the end of the fourth nine weeks.

Grade Placement Minimum Credits Required Sophomore 6 Credits Junior 13 Credits Senior 19 Credits

Valedictorian, Salutatorian, and Honor Students The Valedictorian and Salutatorian shall be the eligible students with the highest and second highest GPA at the end of the third nine weeks of their senior year. The Valedictorian and Salutatorian must have completed either the Recommended High School Program or Distinguished Achievement Program or Foun- dation Distinguished Level of Achievement with endorsement. To be eligible for either of these honors, a student must have been continuously enrolled in PISD for two years prior to graduation. In case of a tie for Valedictorian, and/or Salutatorian and/or any other honors position, the tie will be broken according to the following criteria: the student with the most Advanced Placement (AP) credits will be considered first. If a tie remains, the student with the highest numerical grade average in all AP courses will be the higher ranked student. Students who are recognized as Honor Graduates comprise the top 10 percent of the graduating class as determined by the ranking of student GPAs on the weighted scale. To be eligible for the top 10 percent, students must complete either the Recommended High School Program or Distinguished Achieve- ment Program or Distinguished Level of Achievement with endorsement.

Dual Credit Grading Dual credit grades are reported to PHS numerically. The numeric grade will be entered onto the transcript, weighted, and calculated in the student’s high school GPA. In the event dual credit grades are reported as a letter grade, the following will apply. A - 95 B - 85 C - 75 D - 70 Because colleges award credit for a letter grade D, the high school will award credit for a D. *Dual credit courses taken during summer school or online will not be calculated into the student's high school GPA, but will appear on the high school and college transcript.

11 Ways to Earn College Credit in High School Enroll in Advanced Placement Courses & Pass the AP Exam PHS students can earn college credit by taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses and subsequently taking and passing AP exams. Students should check with individual colleges to determine how much and what type of credit the receiving college awards, as this varies from college to college.

PHS offers the following Advanced Placement courses: Human Geography Physics 1 Statistics English Literature & World History Physics C Psychology Composition US History Computer Science A Spanish Language Art 2-D Design Portfolio Government & Politics Computer Science Fun- Spanish Literature Art 3-D Design Portfolio Macroeconomics damentals French Art: Drawing Portfolio Biology Calculus AB English Language & Art History Chemistry Calculus BC Composition Music Theory

Enroll in Dual Credit Courses Beginning in the summer after the student’s sophomore year, qualified PHS students may enroll in accred- ited Dual Credit courses. Students enrolled in Dual Credit courses receive both high school credit and college credit simultaneously. Grades earned in Dual Credit courses taken during the fall and spring semester are weighted, calculated into the student’s high school GPA, and appear on the student’s high school and college transcript. To be eligible to enroll in Dual Credit courses, students must meet college admission requirements. Additionally, students must complete the application and registration process, including taking the TSI, and provide a copy of the college transcript or grade report at the end of the semester. Dual Credit courses taken during summer school or on-line will not be calculated into the student’s high school GPA but will appear on the high school and college transcript. Depending on student interest, some of the courses listed below may be offered at the PHS campus.

Beginning with the 2016 – 17 school year, students who are identified by Collin College as needing to pay out-of-state tuition for dual credit courses will be responsible for the additional cost. PISD will pay the “in- state” amount for dual credit tuition ($119) and the parent/student will be responsible for paying the differ- ence.

For students enrolling in AVTC 1003 and AVTC 2013 through LETU, parent/student will be responsible for tuition costs above the $119 per course that PISD will pay.

13 Ways to Earn College Credit in High School Enroll in Concurrent Enrollment Beginning in the summer after the student’s sophomore year, qualified PHS students may be concurrently enrolled. In concurrent enrollment, students enroll in college courses for which they receive only college credit. Grades earned in concurrent enrollment courses are not reported to the high school since no high school credit is awarded. To be eligible to enroll in concurrent enrollment courses, students must meet the college entrance requirements. Additionally, students must follow the application and registration process and pay for courses and books. Students may take concurrent enrollment courses during the school day, in accordance with PISD attendance policies, at night, in the summer, or on weekends.

Ways to Recover Credit for Failed or Missed Courses Correspondence Courses PHS allows students who have failed courses to retake them as correspondence courses for credit. Prior to enrollment in correspondence courses, students must secure approval from the school counselor. Grades earned in correspondence courses are not calculated into the student’s GPA, but credit is awarded and the grade will appear on the student’s transcript. Students may only enroll in one correspondence course at a time. Seniors who are enrolled in correspondence courses to earn credit required for graduation must complete the correspondence course at least 30 days prior to graduation and submit the grade for recording. The cost of enrolling in correspondence courses is the responsibility of the student. The school counselor can provide more information and students can contact 1-800-MY-COURS or http:/www.dce.ttu.edu/ or http://planoisdeschool.net.

Summer School Students who fail courses may retake them in summer school. Students may attend summer school at any Texas school district. Grades earned in summer school are not calculated into the student’s GPA, but credit is awarded and the grade will appear on the student’s transcript. The cost of enrolling in summer school is the responsibility of the student. Summer school information is available from the counselor’s office in late spring.

Credit by Examination A student who has received prior instruction in a course, but failed the course with a grade of no less than 60, may be permitted to earn credit for the course by passing a Credit by Exam (CBE). The CBE assesses the essential knowledge and skills defined for the course. To receive credit, a student must score at least 70 on the CBE. The attendance review committee may allow a student with excessive absences to receive credit for a course in which credit was previously denied by passing a CBE. Grades earned on the CBE are not calculated into the student’s GPA, but credit is awarded and the grade will appear on the student’s transcript. The cost of taking a CBE is the responsibility of the student. CBE information is available from the counsel- or’s office, and study guides are available on-line.

Ways to Accelerate High School Credit Students who wish to earn credits for high school acceleration may want to consider some nontraditional ways to earn high school credit.

Enroll in Approved Summer School Courses for Credit PHS does not offer summer courses for acceleration. Students wishing to take summer classes through online programs or at alternate campuses must first get approval from the counselor. Courses may not be taken during the summer for any EOC course. Students must register for summer school, pay the required fees, and successfully complete the course to earn credit. Students earn high school credit for summer

14 school approved courses, but these grades are not calculated in the student’s GPA.

Credit by Examination PHS awards credit for students in grades 9-12 for an academic subject in which the student has received no prior instruction if the student scores 80 percent or above on a CBE. The course and the CBE score will be entered on the student’s transcript, but are not calculated into the student’s GPA. A student may not at- tempt to earn credit by examination for a specific high school course more than two times. CBE information is available from the counseling office.

Credit by Examination for Spanish I, II, and III PHS offers a Spanish CBE for Spanish-speaking students. These examinations are administered on set days. Contact the PHS counseling office for more information.

Correspondence Courses PHS allows students to take certain courses through correspondence for acceleration with prior administra- tor or counselor approval. Grades earned in correspondence courses are not calculated into the student’s GPA, but credit is awarded and the grade will appear on the student’s transcript. Seniors who are enrolled in correspondence courses to earn credit required for graduation must the complete the course at least 30 days prior to graduation and submit the grade for recording. Credit may be obtained through various approved programs. The cost of enrolling in correspondence courses is the responsibility of the student. The school counselor can provide more information and students can contact 1-800-MY-COURS or http://www. dept.ttu.edu/ or http://k12.pisd.edu/eschool.

College Planning College Entrance Exams Students entering a Texas public college or university may need to take the Texas Success Initiative Assess- ment (TSI) and/or complete other testing requirements before enrolling in any college-level coursework. Students may be exempt from taking these college readiness exams if they meet the college’s entrance standards. Students should contact either the testing office or the advising office at the Texas college or university they plan to attend to determine the requirements.

PHS recommends students take the SAT® and/or ACT® in the spring of their junior year of high school. Students needing accommodations for the ACT® or SAT® should visit the respective websites and apply at least 6 months prior to the test.

ACT The ACT® is a curriculum-based college entrance exam. The ACT® is not an aptitude or an IQ test. Instead, the questions on the ACT® are directly related to what students have learned in high school English, mathematics, and science courses.

SAT and PSAT The SAT®, published by the College Board, measures critical thinking skills that are needed for academic success in college. The SAT® assesses how well test takers analyze and solve problems—skills they learned in school that they will need in college. The SAT® is typically taken in the junior and senior year of high school. The SAT®, in combination with high school grade point average (GPA) and the rigor of high school courses, provides a better indicator of success in college than high school grades alone.

The Preliminary SAT®/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, is a co-sponsored program by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). PSAT/NMSQT stands for Preliminary SAT/Na- tional Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. It is a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT Reasoning Test™. It also gives juniors a chance to enter National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) scholarship programs. The PSAT/NMSQT measures critical reading skills, math problem-solving skills, and 15 writing skills. PHS administers the PSAT to all sophomores in the fall at no cost. Students receive feedback in regards to strengths and weaknesses on skills necessary for college study so they can then focus their preparation on those areas that could most benefit from additional study or practice. PHS recommends juniors take the PSAT to enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corpora- tion.

Texas’ Top Ten Percent Rule Students who are in the top 10 percent of their graduating class are eligible for automatic admission to most public universities in Texas. To be eligible for automatic admission, a student must graduate in the top 10 percent of his or her class at a public or private high school in Texas and enroll in college no more than two years after graduating from high school. However, SB175, passed by the State Legislature in 2009, allows University of Texas at Austin to limit automatic admissions to 75 percent of the university’s enrollment capacity. Students must submit an application to a Texas public university for admission before the institu- tion’s application deadline. Students admitted through this route may still be required to provide SAT® or ACT® scores, although these scores are not used for admissions purposes. Students must also take the TSI, unless exempted from the test requirement. Students should check with the admissions office regarding TSI, SAT®, and ACT® requirements. After a student is admitted, the university may review the student’s high school records to determine if the student is prepared for college-level work. A student who needs additional preparation may be required to take a developmental, enrichment, or orientation course during the semester prior to the first semester of college. Admission to a university does not guarantee acceptance into a particular college of study or department.

Prospective College Athletes High school students who intend to participate in Division I or Division II athletics in college must register with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) after completion of the student’s junior year of high school. The NCAA Eligibility Center certifies the academic and amateur credentials of all college-bound athletes who wish to compete in college. Ultimately, the individual student athlete is responsible for achieving and protecting his or her eligibility status. To access the NCAA resource page, student athletes may visit the website at www.eligibilitycenter.org.

PHS GO Center The GO Center is a college and career information center located in the PHS Counseling Office. The center focuses on creating a school-wide college-going culture and promotes college awareness and accessibility. The G-Force student organization at the University of North Texas is the higher education partner and will be at the GO Center on a regular schedule. The G-Force provides one-on-one support to all students who visit the GO Center to help navigate the complex processes associated with college admissions. Students can visit the Counseling Office to schedule an appointment.

Career Cruising Career Cruising is a web-based service designed especially for students and their families. Career Cruising is a comprehensive website that parents and students can use to help in making decisions about courses, colleges, and careers. Career Cruising allows students and families to investigate, research, track, and plan for the college admission process and scholarship opportunities. Career Cruising will allow parents and students to: • Get involved in the planning and advising process – Build a resume and manage timelines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and careers • Create academic plans—Use the online course catalog to create a course plan for review with your child and school staff • Plan for post secondary success—Set short and long term goals and complete tasks related to career, course, and college planning • Research colleges – Criteria based searches or search by name • Access Scholarship Information – Sallie Mae National Scholarship Search database and all local scholarship opportunities To visit PHS’ Career Cruising site, see the “Career Cruising” link on the Prosper High School website. 16 *Tenth grade will be added in the 2017-2018 school Foundation Courses year to complete the Humanities II.
