Disclaimer

The Olathe Public Schools makes every effort to ensure that the information in this Program Planning Guide is informative and accurate.

Enrollment patterns and budget decisions may affect the availability of courses. Changes in policies, new statutes, or other factors can result in incorrect or incomplete information.

This Program Planning Guide should in no way be seen as a contract, but as a guideline for students as they move through their high school years.

Please check the website https://www.olatheschools.org/Page/2483 for the latest changes to the High School Program Planning Guide. 4 INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Olathe Public Schools District’s Program Planning Guide. This booklet offers a listing and a description of the many courses offered in the Olathe high schools. Planning a high school program of study is a serious matter. Not every course is offered in every high school. Also, not every course will be offered each year due to the level of student interest and the availability of staff to teach the subject. Requirements for post secondary options and programs have been included to assist planning.

The purpose of this booklet is to assist in two areas: 1. Provide the information necessary to plan a high school course of study. This plan of study should consider all of the things that MUST be done to balance one's wants and to connect to future career goals.

2. Provide current information regarding course options available during the coming school year. With a plan, these courses should help achieve desired outcomes from high school.

The course selections made now can have a great influence on postsecondary plans. Students and parents are encouraged to read carefully the information contained in this guide. Do not hesitate to ask questions of a school counselor or a teacher.

THINGS TO CONSIDER Before making course selections, be sure to read (or reread) all of the sections that apply. • Remember that it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all requirements are met according to district’s guidelines. • If anticipating attending college and/or playing college sports, be sure to read the sections pertaining to the Kansas Qualified Admissions Requirements and NCAA Eligibility.

Students are encouraged to use the information obtained from the various assessments while in the Olathe Public Schools. Helpful information can be obtained from looking at: • The career interest and skills assessments taken through the XELLO software at https://xello.world/en/ • State Assessment reports • Nationally standardized tests such as the MAP, ACT, SAT, or PSAT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION 5 Course Requirements

What are Qualified Admissions? Qualified Admissions (QA) are a set of standards used by the six state universities to review applicants for undergraduate admission. The universities that use QA are Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, the University of Kansas, and Wichita State University. These standards are set by the Kansas Board of Regents, the governing body for the state universities. It is important to note that our Olathe Graduation Requirements must be met to graduate from Olathe Public Schools. Please consult your student’s school counselor with any questions. What are the Qualified Admissions standards?

Date: October 2020 KANSAS SCHOLAR CURRICULUM & STATE SCHOLAR 7 Quick Facts

What is the Kansas Scholars Curriculum? The Kansas Scholars Curriculum is one of the requirements Kansas residents must meet in order to receive State Scholar designation during the Senior year. This curriculum is NOT the same as the Qualified Admissions Curriculum.

What are the other requirements to become a State Scholar? • Students must have taken the ACT between April of the sophomore year and December of the senior year. • Students must be a Kansas resident. • Students must have their curriculum and 7th semester GPA certified by the high school.

What is the benefit of completing the Kansas Scholars Curriculum? Students who complete the curriculum and meet the other requirements, may be designated as State Scholars, which makes them eligible to receive State Financial Aid as provided by the Kansas Legislature.

The academic profile of scholars usually includes an average ACT of 30 and an average GPA of 3.90.

State Scholars may receive up to $1,000 annually for up to four undergraduate years (five, if enrolled in a designated five-year program) based on financial need and the availability of State funds.

How is financial need determined? Financial need is measured by the using data submitted on the FAFSA.

For more information about the Kansas Scholars Curriculum or State Scholar designation, contact the Kansas Board of Regents visit: https://www.kansasregents.org/students/student_financial_aid/kansas_scholars_curriculum

Advanced Placement (AP) Information: Advanced Placement (AP) is an internationally recognized standard of academic excellence that provides the following benefits to students:

• AP can enhance a student’s opportunity for scholarships and career possibilities. • AP can enhance a student’s opportunity to receive admission into recognized universities and post- secondary programs. • AP can reduce college costs and the time required to obtain a degree by providing post-secondary credit for courses and examinations completed successfully in high school. AP exams are given in May and scored by the Educational Testing Service. Students are encouraged to take AP exams to demonstrate successful AP course completion.

Note: Honors coursework provides a critical alignment with AP course success. AP exams are strongly encouraged. Each college or university determines which AP examination/score will be accepted.

College Now Information: 10th-12th graders have the opportunity to take academic courses in high school which have been identified by the school district and Johnson County Community College as College-Equivalent Courses (College Now). All College Now students must have attained required ACT scores or JCCC Placement Exam scores to enroll for JCCC credit. Upon payment of specified tuition and fees and successful completion of a course, college credit can be earned. Only students enrolled in designated college equivalency courses can apply for this college credit option. Course availability may vary by high school. Tuition charges for College Now courses will not exceed the amount charged for students enrolling in similar JCCC campus- based courses. No additional charges beyond those authorized for high school rental fees and materials used for classroom activities will be made. Courses which qualify for Excel in CTE have waived tuition for high school students who meet JCCC Kansas residency requirements for enrollment in any tiered career technical course. For more information about Excel in CTE courses offered at JCCC, please visit https://www.jccc.edu/admissions/early-college/high-school-concurrent-enrollment/ sb-155.html College Now courses listed below may not be offered for dual credit in every high school. Check your high school's College Now schedules for availability. Dual credit courses may be found at www.jccc.edu/admissions/early-college/high-school-concurrent-enrollment/index.html or as follows: • AC Electronics • AP French V • College Biology • Home Health Aide (HHA) • Animation I, II, III & IV • AP Music Theory • College Chemistry • Horticulture I & II * • AP Biology • AP Psychology • DC Electronics *(same school year) • AP Calculus AB • AP Spanish V • Digital Electronics • Integrated Circuits • AP Calculus BC • AP Statistics • Emergency Medical • Introduction to Computer Coding • AP Chemistry • AP United States Government Services (EMS) • Introduction to Healthcare • AP Computer Science A • AP United States History • Fire Science I • Law Enforcement I • AP Computer Science • AP/College Physics I • Fire Science II • Law Enforcement II Principles • Auto Technology • Foundation of Electronics • Medical Terminology • AP English Literature and • Basic Life Support for • French IV • Microcontrollers Composition Healthcare Providers • German III • Pre-Calculus • AP Environmental Science • Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) • German IV • Spanish IV • AP European History • College Algebra • Hazardous Materials for First • Welding Technology I Responder • Zoology Quick Step College credit also is available through the JCCC Quick Step program. Enroll in classes held on the JCCC campus or at one of our outreach locations, or take a class online. Quick Step is an exciting opportunity for highly committed and motivated high school students to excel. With Quick Step, you may be eligible for “on-campus concurrent enrollment.” Even if you’re taking a Quick Step class for college credit, your local school district may allow you to earn high school credit for that same course. Students interested in the Quick Step program should contact their counselor for enrollment procedures and Quick Step information. Specific guidelines apply to this dual credit procedure. https://www.jccc.edu/admissions/early-college/quick-step/index.html GRADING 9 GUIDELINES:

Grade Point Average The Olathe Public Schools will award credit to all grades of A, B, C, and D. A grade of F will not be awarded credit. Grades are assigned the following numerical values:

A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 F=0

Those numerical values are used to determine a student's unweighted grade point average. A letter grade with a + or a - symbol will receive the same numerical value as a grade without a symbol.

A student's unweighted GPA is figured by assigning a numerical value to each semester grade (quarter grades are not used to determine a student's GPA) and dividing that number by the number of classes taken.

Weighted Grades Weighted courses represent the most rigorous learning standards and content requiring the highest level of stu- dent performance and time commitment. The weighted grading system is used to determine academic student honors and distinctions. Note to students transferring from other districts: Olathe provides weighted credit only for advanced courses so designated by the Olathe weighting system. A weighted grade can be attained for the courses below by achieving class grades of A, B, or C. All courses on the list below have an equal weighted grade value. The weighted grade formula is figured by using the standard grade point average and adding weighted value. The weighted value is computed by taking the number of weighted courses and dividing it by the number of semesters multiplied by seven: Weighted GPA = (GPA) + (# of Weighted Courses with grades of A, B, or C) / 7(# of semesters).
