Honeoye Central School Academic Planning Guide January 2015 Edition

The selection of courses is one of the most significant decisions a student makes in his or her high school career. This Academic Planning Guide contains information regarding graduation requirements and all courses offered at Honeoye Central School. We hope this will give you a greater understanding of the high school curriculum and the opportunities it provides.

Please review this information carefully and use it to help plan the student’s educational program. Group and individual sessions between students and counselors take place every year so that students can make informed decisions and reexamine those decisions as they progress through high school. Every student in grades 8-12 will participate in an individual academic review with his or her counselor every year. Parent conferences will be scheduled upon request.

In selecting courses, students should keep in mind their interests, abilities, college and career goals, as well as the development of a broad educational background.

We are confident that a well-designed planning process will result in many satisfying and rewarding experiences for each student. Please feel free to call or email us if you have questions or concerns regarding this important activity.

Sincerely,

Sharon K. Greenwood, Linda Witte, School Counselor School Counselor Grades 9-12 Grades K - 8 [email protected] [email protected]

5 Course Cancellation Honeoye Central School reserves the right to discontinue, postpone or cancel classes due to budgetary constraints or staffing changes. Academic Expectations

Attendance Classroom attendance is a vital component of every student’s education. Students with excessive class absences are at risk of not receiving course credit.

Passing Mark The passing mark is 65. In order to receive credit for a course the final average must be 65 or more. Final averages are computed by using the four quarter averages and the final exam mark, with each counting 20% of the final average. For half-year courses the two-quarter marks are counted 2/5 each and the final exam 1/5 in determining the final average. Passing a Regents Exam does not guarantee credit for the course. In order to receive course credit, the final average must be 65 or above.

Academic Levels and Support Advanced Placement Accelerated or enriched courses of study for the most able and interested students can lead to earning college credits. Advanced Regents Challenging program leading to the Advanced Regents Diploma. Excellent preparation for college. Minimum of 8 State Assessments Regents Challenging program leading to the Regents Diploma. Minimum of 6 State Assessments Resource Room Support services and instruction provided by special education staff for students with an identified learning disability Academic Intervention Basic skills instruction provided to students meeting service eligibility Services (AIS) criteria. Academic Eligibility & Status Students must maintain academic eligibility to access any and all privileges. Academic status levels are:

 Good Academic Standing: full privileges  Academic Support: limited privileges  Academic Ineligibility: suspended privileges Class Status Class status at Honeoye is determined by number of credits earned and accumulated. Freshman - Must have been promoted from Grade 8 Sophomore - Must have a total of 4 1/2 credits, which include English 9 Junior - Must have a total of 10 credits, which include English 10 Senior - Must be enrolled in a program that will lead to June graduation Academic Achievements

Honor Roll and Recognitions Honor Roll An average of 85 to 89.9. To receive a certificate for the year a student must have an average of 85- 89.9 for the first three report card periods. Principal’s Honor Roll An average of 90 to 94.9.

Students who maintain of 95 or above average for the first three quarters receive an Olympic-style medallion, which may be worn around the neck over graduation gowns. Staff Honors are the highest academic awards given at Honeoye Central School.

Class Rank and GPA Computation Averages of all courses except Physical Education are used to determine a student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) and Class Rank. Final grades in college-level courses (AP, Gemini, Nazareth, SUPA) are increased by 5% in the GPA calculation. GPA is computed after each semester. Class rank is computed after the 5th, 6th and 7th semesters of high school.

College Preparatory Program Honeoye Central School strongly recommends that students planning to continue their education beyond high school enroll in the most rigorous courses that they are able to successfully complete. We recommend that students continue to study mathematics for all four years of high school. We recommend complimenting the Advanced Regents Diploma program with college-level courses to gain the best preparation and opportunities for college success.

7 Advanced Placement Program Advanced courses are available to students who exhibit superior skills and demonstrate an interest in and willingness to achieve. These courses are geared to the freshman college level, thus requiring a substantial commitment of time and effort by the student. Students must meet admissions criteria. Tuition is charged by the college. Students can earn college credit through FLCC’s Gemini Program, Syracuse University’s SUPA program and/or Nazareth College. In some courses, the Advanced Placement (AP) Exam is administered in May. Students who achieve a successful grade on this exam may, at the discretion of the chosen college, receive college credit and/or advanced placement status. The basic premises of the Advanced Placement Program are that many high school students are ready for college freshman work and such ability should be recognized, given encouragement, and rewarded.

Summer School Summer school is provided to students who have failed courses and/or tests already taken in the regular school environment. It is not consistent with the philosophies of the District to utilize summer school courses for acceleration at District expense. Only those students who encounter scheduling conflicts will be allowed to take summer school courses for the first time at District expense. However, credit will be accepted for those who meet course requirements in summer school for those students and families who wish to utilize summer school for acceleration purposes at the respective families’ expense. The cost to the families must be prepaid prior to summer school enrollment. If a student fails a regular school year course and he/she wishes to be eligible for the course(s) in summer school, the student must have attained a minimum final average of 55% or better in the course that he/she wish to enroll during the summer school program offering. All course-required projects (example – senior portfolio, etc.), thesis papers, science lab requirements and assessments (does not include homework and normal unit/lesson assessments) that can not be offered in summer school, must be completed prior to summer school participation, in the regular 40-week academic school year. No summer school student may miss more than two days of classes to receive credit. Students enrolled in summer school physical education courses may not miss more than one day of class to receive credit. Students who exceed the allowable absences under the attendance requirements will be dismissed from all effected summer school courses. After the summer school course is completed, the following formula will be utilized for final grade determination and transcript reporting: 0.60 (40 week regular school year course final average) + 0.40 (summer school final course average) = final grade* Example – A student receives a 60% during their regular school year course and they receive an 80% in their summer school course. Based upon the above formula, 0.60(60) + 0.40(80) = 68 will be the final score reported on the student’s transcript. * Final grade determined using this formula will be used for GPA computation, transcript reporting, and permanent record usage

8 Dual Credit/Early College Admission Program The Dual Credit/Early College Admission Program was set up by the Honeoye Central School Board of Education in 1975 to provide highly motivated, academically oriented seniors the opportunity to start college before high school graduation while at the same time completing high school graduation requirements.

Product Design & Engineering (Capstone Course upon completion of sequence) DDP/Materials Processing or Manufacturing Grade 11-12 Fall Semester ½ Credit Product Design engineering is a combination of two traditionally separate fields each with its own strength: engineering with its scientific material and manufacturing knowledge and industrial design with its human centered approach to design. This course examines the process by which products are designed and brought to the marketplace and will include examining the history and evolution of many products. Using computer modeling and traditional manufacturing processes we will develop new product designs. Models will be constructed for presentations and evaluation.

Construction Engineering (Capstone Course upon completion of sequence) Prerequisite: DDP & Residential Structures Grade 11-12 Spring Semester ½ Credit Construction Engineering covers the planning elements necessary before and during a construction project. Topics are discussed as separate and interrelated subjects in order to demonstrate the need for manpower, materials, and equipment coordination. The importance of good planning of projected job costs and profits is emphasized. The course covers the basic skills and knowledge necessary to function as a construction project management professional.

TECHNICAL & CAREER EDUCATION

The Finger Lakes Technical and Career Center (FLTCC), located in Flint, offer vocational courses to Honeoye’s Juniors and Seniors. All vocational courses teach students the technical and non-technical skills needed in the workplace. Many students select technical programs because they desire a career immediately after high school and wish to gain employability by learning and developing a marketable skill. Other TCC students plan to continue post secondary education at a technical or community college. Students request Technical & Career programs before the Spring of their Sophomore year. Most TCC programs are two-year programs. Juniors attend TCC programs after lunch and arrive back at Honeoye at approximately 3:15 pm. Seniors attend programs in the morning and return to Honeoye for lunch. Usually, 4 credits per year are awarded. Criteria for acceptance into Technical and Career Center programs include: 1. Demonstrated ability to pass required courses, including English 10, Global 10, and at least one credit earned in Math and Science 2. Junior class status 3. Good attendance history (no excessive tardiness or absences) 4. Demonstrated school citizenship and maturity 5. Interest in and projected success rate in selected program Criteria for continuation in Technical and Career Center programs include: 1. Successful completion of first year in program 2. Attendance rate of at least 85% during first year in program 3. Demonstrated school citizenship and maturity (at Honeoye and TCC) 4. Interest in and projected success rate in selected program 5. Not all students who desire a Technical and Career program will be accepted and enrolled. Selection will be determined by the school counselor and principal based upon the above criteria.
