Course Offerings  Courses listed on the enrollment form or this enrollment booklet may be canceled by the administration if enrollment is not sufficient to merit a class.

Enrichment Courses For the purpose of allowing a student to continue in an advanced curriculum or provide enrichment opportunities not available at Maize High students may take classes outside the MHS curriculum provided during a specific term or semester. This will require counselor recommendation and building principal approval. Credits might be earned on university campuses, on line, via distance learning, or by correspondence. The student is responsible for financial obligations when credits are approved through these avenues. Prior approval must be granted by the building principal to allow the student to receive high school credit for such offerings.

Interactive Distance Learning Interactive Distance Learning (IDL) courses are offered at Maize High School. These are interactive courses that are taught at another location and broadcast to the school. At the present time IDL classes are offered for high school credit only.

Kansas State High School Activities Association Eligibility Any student who wishes to participate in any KSHSAA activity (sports, music, cheerleading, etc.) must pass 5 new classes (2 ½ credits) in the Semester (2 terms) prior to the one they plan to participate in the activity and must be currently enrolled in 5 classes (2 ½ credit) per Semester (2 terms). See your counselor for more information.

Early Release All seniors must enroll in four blocks during first and second term.  Seniors who are on track for graduation may apply for early release during the spring Semester. Application must be made with and approved by the student’s counselor at the time of enrollment for the senior year.  If a student takes college classes during early release time only those classes that have prior concurrent credit approval and are listed of the student’s class schedule will earn Maize High School credit.

All college classes are the financial responsibility of the student.  Students who choose Early Release must leave campus once their regular scheduled classes are completed.

WSU College Courses Seniors can take the following WSU courses for concurrent credit on a WSU campus during either Semester.  Those classes are: Communications 111, English 101, English 102, Psychology 111, and Sociology 111.  A 3 hour college class will earn .5 high school credit. Communication 111 will meet the MHS graduation requirement for .5 credit of Speech. English 101 (.5 credit) and English 102 (.5 credit) together will meet the one credit English elective requirement. Psychology 111 or Sociology 111 will meet a .5 Social Studies elective requirement.  High school students who take college classes must apply for admission to the University as a guest student. WSU allows a student to take six (6) hours in one semester as a guest student, and a total of 15 credit hours can be earned at WSU as a guest student.

Online Courses Maize Educational Outreach provides students education experiences with flexible scheduling for curriculum enhancement and degree completion that can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Courses are available to any motivated student who has computer and internet access. The cost of a credit acquisition course is $150 per .5 credits. For a student who is taking a course for remediation purposes the cost structure is different; see your counselor details.

Schedule Changes All schedule changes must be made PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF EACH TERM. Therefore, students may change their schedules when they initially receive them or within two weeks prior to the first day of school. Please remember that schedule changes are only made if they meet one of the following criteria: 1. there is a mistake on the schedule 2. the student wants to take a more advanced class 3. a class was failed and needs to be re-taken 4. prerequisites have not been met The student must call the office to make an appointment for a change. To make a change for the remaining terms, the student may come to the counseling office any time during the previous term, as long as the change is made prior to the first day of the respective term.

Dropping Classes Any student who is withdrawn from one class or all classes after the term has begun will receive a W F (Withdraw Failing) designation on their transcript. This policy can be waived only at the discretion of the building Principal. Students who are withdrawn for documented medical reasons can receive a MD (Medical Withdrawal) designation on their transcript. Documentation must be provided in the form of a written doctor’s statement indicating the student’s failure to attend or achieve was for medical reasons.

Repeat Classes A student can earn credit only once for any high school class. Classes should not be repeated. Continued interest in a field of study should be reflected in a move to a higher-level class in the curriculum. Exceptions to this policy include performance, service, independent study or special projects classes such as: instrumental music, vocal music, upper level physical education, teacher assistant, community service and expanded learning. Sequential classes in which skills are progressive, i.e. math and foreign language may be repeated with teacher recommendation. Repeated math classes will earn elective credit, and not count towards the required number of math credits needed for graduation.

Special Programs

ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES are offered at Maize High School. Students may select from AP courses in: Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, English Literature, Government, Physics, Statistics and United States History. Participation in the College Board’s Advanced Placement Program enables students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. AP teachers participate in AP workshops where they receive intensive training on the content and methods of teaching AP courses. AP exams administered each May give students the opportunity to earn college credit. Because of the high standards of AP over 90% of the nation’s colleges and universities have an AP policy granting students credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP exam grades. The college policy determines the exam grades that qualify. AP not only gives students the opportunity to earn college credits but AP’s rigor also prepares students to succeed in college. These courses involve much more time due to the difficult coursework. Students must carefully decide if they will be able to meet the expectations of the class. Students who choose to drop the class after the third day will receive a withdrawal/fail for the class. *Please note:  APUSH (AP US History), AP Physics & AP Biology are yearlong classes.  AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, & AP Literature, are all 2nd semester classes.  AP Government classes are offered 1st semester

TECHNICAL TRAINING in a selected program is available to MHS juniors and seniors. Students will attend one-half day each at Maize High School and on the campus or a nearby technical school. Students should apply for admission to the technical school program in February at the time of enrollment. Students must have minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA, and a good attendance and behavior record to apply. If a student drops out of or is withdrawn from the off-campus program before the end of the semester the student must reimburse the district for the cost of the program. See your counselor for a list of programs available and application materials.
