Page | 2 Dear Students and Parents:
We place our highest priority on the delivery of a high-quality and personally-tailored program of study for each individual student. To that end, we have assembled this Lemon Bay High School Curriculum Guide for the 2018-2019 school year. This guide provides information about high school graduation requirements, details about our class registration process, and individual course descriptions.
As you are probably aware, there have been a number of changes to graduation requirements over the last few years. Please take some time to read the individual requirements for the appropriate graduating class. Please note that siblings in different graduating classes are likely to have different graduation requirements. There is also information about a new state initiative: diploma designations. These are distinct from the graduation honors of cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude, the information for which is also included herein.
Accelerated coursework is a staple of our curricular offerings at Lemon Bay High School and information about our Advanced Placement, Cambridge AICE, Dual Enrollment, and Honors courses is provided for your review. We are pleased to announce that we will be adding Cambridge AICE classes for our students this year. Please note that many of these accelerated courses have prerequisites as well as requirements for staying in the course once enrolled. Many of these courses also require a contract signed by the parent and student prior to enrolling in the course.
We are also proud to announce the redesign of our Technical and Vocational Academies. Through these multi-year academies, students will be able to graduate high school with industry certifications in programs like Photoshop and Microsoft Office, AutoCad, Serve Safe and EMR. Due to the fact that these certifications may take several years to acquire, it is important to review the course sequence information that is included.
Finally, information about individual classes is provided, organized by department. These descriptions provide general overviews of what students can expect from the content of a given course. You can also go to http://www.cpalms.org to look at the standards for the majority of courses offered. If you have any questions, please contact the Assistant Principal for Curriculum or the Guidance Department at (941) 474-7702. We are looking forward to another successful academic year at Lemon Bay! Sincerely, Dawn Bedford Teresa Dailey Jennifer Ragazzone Director of Guidance Guidance Counselor Guidance Counselor

Page | 5 GENERAL INFORMATION FOR ALL STUDENTS
SCHEDULE CHANGE REQUEST POLICIES
Students must give careful consideration to their course selections. The courses which appear on their request sheet are the courses the students will receive if at all possible. When students report on the first day of school and receive their official class schedules reflecting teacher and room assignments, they will be expected to follow these schedules for the entire year. Counselors will change a schedule when a student has a priority need such as: • Lack of a prerequisite • Inappropriate level of instruction • A scheduled course that was successfully completed through credit retrieval, FLVS, CVS or another accepted program of study
• Schedule changes will NOT be made at any time for a student wanting a different teacher or period. Registration
for a course indicates the student makes a commitment to that academic area for the duration of the course. Students must complete a “request for schedule change form” in the guidance office within the first week of school. Guidance counselors will prioritize the requests based on the above criteria. Students enrolled in an Honors, AICE or AP course which requires summer work will not have a schedule change because of a choice not to complete the summer assignment. Failure to complete required summer work is not a reason for a schedule change. Because Lemon Bay High School builds their master teacher schedule based on the requests of students, it is extremely difficult to change schedules once the school year has started. Please consider this when choosing your courses during registration.
NOTE: STUDENTS ENROLLED IN A DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSE FACE DIFFERENT DROP PERIODS TO ALIGN WITH THE COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY’S DROP PERIOD. THE AP OR DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A BASIC EDUCATION COURSE. SWITCHING FROM ONE ADVANCED PLACEMENT OR DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSE INTO ANOTHER AP OR DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSE MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE.
Page | 6 Virtual Course Changes
Students may discontinue a year-long course they are enrolled in at a school, and then enroll in a virtual course at a natural break (Semester). The student is expected to complete the semester in which they are currently enrolled prior to moving to another course. These course decisions are treated the same as other course changes at the school site.
Virtual Withdraw Procedures
Grace Period- this is the first 14 days the student is enrolled in the course. If the student is not on pace or demonstrating academic success in the course during the grace period, they will be Withdrawn. Withdraw (code W) Once a student completes more than 50% of a course, the course will be reflected on the students transcript. Students must pass the segment exam in order to pass the class. A student must be enrolled in a class for a minimum of 14 days in order to be awarded credit, 28 days for Personal Fitness and HOPE. Virtual Withdraw Codes: o W- Withdrawn- Student withdrawn during the grace period- no credit awarded o WF-Withdrawn Failing- Student withdraws past the grace period with a failing grade at the time of withdrawal, no credit awarded (less than 50% complete in the course) o WP- Withdrawn Passing- Student withdraws past the grace period with a passing grade at the time of withdrawal, no credit awarded (less than 50% complete in the course)
TEACHER ASSISTANTS
Only seniors are eligible to be teacher assistants. In lieu of credit, community service hours (90 hours per semester) will be granted. Students must meet the selection criteria, which includes a minimum GPA of 2.5. Students with excessive tardies, absences, and/or disciplinary referrals will not be considered. Students who fail to perform will not be awarded community service hours and will be removed from the program.
Page | 7 ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT FOR COURSE CREDIT
The School Board maintains that daily school attendance is essential to the educational success of each student. Students are expected to be in school all day, every day and in class on time in order to receive full benefit from the instructional programs of the Charlotte County Public Schools. All absences must be reported and explained by a parent or guardian within two (2) school days after the student’s return to school. Research has shown that 10% or more of instructional time missed by students is an early warning indicator for possible academic struggles; this measure is used to define chronic absenteeism nationwide. At the high school level, students with excused absences will be permitted and encouraged to make up work, tests, and quizzes and will not receive an academic penalty unless the work is not made-up within the allowable time frame. 1. If a pattern of non-attendance develops, the principal or designee may require documentation to excuse an absence. 2. In the case of unexcused absences, a teacher may deduct up to 30% from the earned grade for work made up. NOTE: It is understood that all syllabi distributed and/or communicated by instructional staff to students and parents, for the purposes of setting guidelines and responsibilities within the domain of make-up work policies and procedures, will comply with the Code of Student Conduct. Dual Enrollment Students participating in dual credit classes will follow standard make-up guidelines set forth by the college instructor Lemon Bay High School will follow the CCPS Code of Student Conduct in regards to Absence Policies/Rules.
SENIOR END OF COURSE EXAM WAIVER
Only seniors can waive exams; however, no one can waive EOC exams. Exam waivers do not pertain to AP tests, AICE exams and dual credit exams required by colleges, nor do they pertain to official State of Florida EOC exams. The semester exam in a course that is yearlong, such as English or math, etc. can only be waived at the end of the entire course. A semester exam for a semester course can be waived at the end of first or second semester. Students must have: o an overall “A” or “B” average in the course o no more than 5 absences for the semester; no suspensions(OSS Only) for the quarter o no more than five tardies for the semester Both the teacher and parent must sign off on the waiver to be considered. The two quarter grades will be averaged to assign the semester grade. If the student has one “A” and one “B” the student will receive a “B” for the semester grade. ***State EOC’S cannot be waived.
Page | 8 MAKING UP REQUIRED CREDITS
GRADE FORGIVENESS
In order to improve GPA and assist with graduation requirements, a student may retake a course in which a “D” or “F” was attained. In cases where a course is no longer offered or where scheduling does not permit, the closest equivalent may be substituted. When the grade forgiveness policy is used, only the higher grade will be averaged into the GPA. All grades, whether replaced or not, will appear on the student transcript. Courses must be taken in the proper sequence as much as possible. Honors courses can only be repeated during a regular school year or through Florida Virtual School. However, if a student chooses to take a general level class to replace a failed honors course, then the general course and grade obtained will replace the honors course. The original honors grade will not be used to compute the student’s GPA. For required courses, the “D” or “F” will be replaced with the grade of “C” or better earned subsequently in the same or comparable course. In elective courses, the “D” or “F” will be replaced with the grade of “C” or better earned subsequently in the same or comparable course. If the student repeats a course where an “F” was the original grade, and subsequently only earns a “D,” the “D” will replace the original grade. Any course grade not replaced shall be included in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average. Credits retrieved through EdGenuity for credit recovery can only be replaced with up to a “C”.
SECOND CHANCE OPTION
For courses provided on a full-year basis, if a student fails the first semester, a full-year credit can be earned under the following conditions: The student earns a “C” or higher for each of the third and fourth quarters; The student earns a “C” or higher on the second semester exam; and The student has met the attendance requirements for the second semester.
ADDITIONAL MAKE-UP CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES
Students in need of make-up credit may earn additional credits through programs such as Edgenuity, Charlotte Virtual School, Florida Virtual School, or correspondence courses from accredited and/or approved programs.

Page | 10 ACCELERATED AND HONORS PROGRAMS
The Lemon Bay High School honors program offers a wide selection of Advanced Placement (AP), Cambridge AICE, dual enrollment, and honors level courses designed to provide rigor and relevance for participating students. Students will prepare for upper division college courses through a stringent program that focuses on critical thinking and analytical research, writing, and reading comprehension skills. The honors level program caters to those students who are intrinsically motivated to become life-long learners. A successful student in the honors program is responsible; able to meet deadlines; is willing to make a commitment to additional hours of study beyond the classroom environment; and, most importantly, is self-motivated to be an outstanding academic student. Excellent attendance is necessary to be successful in all honors level courses. The courses taken within the honors level program will act as an educational bridge between high school and college to prepare students for academic success in post-secondary institutions. The requirements or expectations for placement in honors, dual enrollment, and advanced placement courses are outlined as follows.
HONORS PROGRAM ACADEMIC RECOMMENDATIONS
The Honors Program at Lemon Bay offers learning opportunities for students to develop the critical skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation in a more rigorous and reflective academic setting. Students are empowered to perform at higher levels as they engage in the following: analyzing historical documents and supplementary readings, working in the context of thematically categorized information, becoming proficient in note-taking, participating in Socratic seminars/discussions, emphasizing free-response and document-based writing, contrasting opposing viewpoints, solving problems, etc. Students will have access to these opportunities through honors high school courses, Dual Enrollment (DE), Cambridge AICE and Advanced Placement (AP). Placement into these programs is very competitive, with certain programs having specific criteria. Dual Enrollment eligibility is available under the Dual Enrollment section. The remaining programs have recommendations for enrollment. These recommendations are based on a student’s GPA, previous course history and standardized assessment performance. Level four or five on a standardized assessment and a minimum 3.0 GPA (core classes) is a good benchmark, but no single factor will eliminate a student from enrollment. The student’s entire body of work will be considered before placement is finalized. SPECIAL NOTES: • Class size amendment may restrict the number of honors sections offered.

EARLY ADMISSION AT FLORIDA SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE UNDER DUAL ENROLLMENT
Early admission as a type of dual enrollment is available to juniors and/or seniors who wish to spend their senior year on the campus of a postsecondary institution with which CCPS has an articulation agreement. Currently this type of enrollment is open to students attending either Florida Southwestern State College, State College of Florida Manatee, or Florida Gulf Coast University. Students who wish to participate in this must meet the criteria set forth in the articulation agreements. These students maintain their enrollment at their home high schools and are still considered to be part of the high school graduating class.
EARLY ADMISSION NOT INCLUDED UNDER DUAL ENROLLMENT
The Early Admission Program is designed as an alternative plan for graduation for those seniors who have demonstrated through academic achievement and maturity the required ability and motivation to succeed in such an accelerated program. A senior who meets the established requirements for the Early Admission Program may be admitted to the early admission program of any college or university in lieu of completing his/her senior year at high school. In order to be recommended for this program, a student must meet the following requirements: Have completed the credit and course requirement to be classified as a senior as outlined in the Student Progression Plan; Be a senior with a 3.0 or higher cumulative un-weighted grade point average; Apply all credits to high school graduation requirements; Have passed the relevant graduation-required standardized tests; Have completed one of the following entry level tests and have an entry level test score appropriate for college level instruction prior to enrollment: ACT, FCELPT, or SAT-I; Acceptance from a postsecondary institution; and Be recommended by the principal. The student will receive a high school diploma at the end of the senior/first college year if the student has done the following:
Page | 16 • Completed and received such credits as required and approved by the principal to meet equivalent course requirements for high school graduation; and • Maintained at least a “C” average. The following rules apply to the relationship between the home high school and a student who is in a college early admissions program not under dual enrollment. The student: • Will no longer be considered a high school student; • May participate in graduation, but will not be eligible to be honored as a National Honor Society member; • Will not receive recognition as a summa, magna, or cum laude graduate; and • May contact his/her home high school guidance counselor to obtain scholarship information and assistance.
COLLEGE CREDIT IN ESCROW
If a student enrolls in a college course after regular school hours or during summer break, the cost of such course work is the obligation of the student. Such course work does not count toward fulfilling graduation requirements unless the principal has given written, prior approval. The college may award credit in escrow for these courses.
FLORIDA SOUTHWESTERN STATE COLLEGE ON-LINE CLASSES
Students who wish to accelerate their learning and who wish to earn dual enrollment college credit are encouraged to take Florida Southwestern State College courses on-line. Students must have the required GPA and SAT/ACT or CPT scores to enroll in on-line dual enrollment courses.

Page | 18 MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT (MTSS)
A FRAMEWORK FOR SUCCESS MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION CCPS is committed to the implementation of a Response to Intervention, through the Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS). The multi-tiered system of academic and behavioral supports relies on problem solving and data- based decision making to improve educational outcomes and meet the academic and behavioral needs of all students. MTSS, a term used to describe an evidence-based model of schooling that uses data-based problem-solving to integrate academic and behavioral instruction and intervention. The integrated instruction and intervention is delivered to students in varying intensities (3 tiers) based on student need. “Need-driven” decision-making seeks to ensure that district resources reach the appropriate students at the appropriate levels to accelerate the performance of ALL students to achieve and/or exceed proficiency. Core components of the MTSS framework include: • An integrated systemic approach focused on student outcomes • A guiding framework for school improvement activities and strategic planning • A team of professionals from different disciplines focused on improving student performance. A continuum of services with timely interventions matched to student needs. Softwarenology’s School Portal, a unified data collection system easily accessible to all through the district website (yourcharlotteschools.net), includes both data and intervention planning/monitoring information necessary for MTSS implementation. CCPS will provide high quality instruction and intervention(s) matched to student needs and will use learning rate and level of performance to drive instructional decisions regarding promotion, acceleration, retention, and remediation. Each student must participate in the statewide assessment tests required by s.1008.22. Each student who does not meet specific levels of performance as determined by the district school board in reading, writing, science, and mathematics for each grade level, or who scores below Level 3 in reading or math, must be provided with additional diagnostic assessments to determine the nature of the student’s difficulty, the areas of academic need, and strategies for appropriate intervention and instruction. . . . The school in which the student is enrolled must develop and must implement a progress monitoring plan. . . . The school wide process for progress monitoring for reading, writing, science, and math contain the following: Placement into an academically appropriate level course for remediation Computer-based progress monitoring to model state mandated end-of-course exams. School wide progress monitoring days as designated by district testing calendar which includes FAIR (Florida Assessment in Reading), Science (Biology), USA test prep, Geometry and Algebra. Teacher Deliberate Practice Plans As part of Response to Intervention, students who have been identified as not meeting state or district expectations for proficiency in reading, writing, science or mathematics must have a Progress Monitoring Plan (PMP) developed for them in consultation with the student’s teachers, guidance counselor, literacy coach, parents and any others who may have additional information that may be helpful with the success of the student. The PMP must include intensive remedial instruction in the
Page | 19 areas of weakness. Intensive remediation is defined as instruction designed to concentrate time and effort on the specific diagnosed deficiencies of the individual student. Students scoring in Level 1 and Level 2 in FSA ELA will be scheduled in a additional elective course to study test taking skills and reading strategies across all curriculums. These students will also receive: • Additional diagnostic assessments as needed; • Identification of the specific diagnosed academic deficiency to be remediated: • Identification of the research-based strategies to be used; • Identification of how, when, how often, by who, and how long intensive remedial instruction is to be provided; and • Identification of the monitoring and re-evaluation activities to be employed. Students will be reassessed at the end of the remediation period to determine if the district proficiency level in the designated area(s) has been attained. Remediation continues until proficiency level is attained as documented by state test, graduating from high school, or the student no longer is subject to compulsory school attendance. All remediation must be documented and be placed in the student’s cumulative record. If a student is enrolled in ESE or ESOL, the plans developed for these programs can serve as the PMP if these plans address the specific area of need identified for reading, writing, and/or mathematics.

Lemon Bay High School provides for the curriculum needs of all identified ESE students. Students are provided a continuum of services as specified by their Individualized Educational Plan (IEP). The IEP is developed and reviewed annually by the IEP team.
EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT EDUCATION CRITERIA FOR A STANDARD DIPLOMA
An exceptional education student must satisfy the requirements of a Standard Diploma as detailed in the Graduation Requirements section, and shall acquire credit requirements for a standard diploma through either of the following methods: 1. Attend exceptional education classes for instruction in basic courses with the same student performance standards as those required of non-exceptional students; or 2. Attend regular classes where the instruction accommodates the student’s exceptionality. The determination of strategies to use shall be based on an assessment of the student’s needs and this decision shall be reflected in the student’s IEP. Accommodations may include an increase or decrease in instructional time, variations in instructional strategies and materials, special teacher certification requirement adjustments, teacher or student use of special communication systems, classroom and district test administration procedures and other evaluation procedures to accommodate the student’s disability. When developing modifications for vocational courses, the particular outcomes and student performance standards – which a student must master to earn credit – must be specified on the student’s IEP. Some students with disabilities may need modified program requirements. Generally, these are students working toward a special diploma. For these students, expected outcomes and curriculum content can be modified. Students seeking a standard diploma may receive accommodations for delivery of content, but not modification of the course requirement or student performance standards. In some instances, the IEP committee many determine that the FCAT 2.0/FSA or EOC (end of course) exam cannot accurately measure the student’s abilities, thus the FCAT 2.0/FSA and/or EOC exam results may be waived for the purpose of receiving a standard high school diploma if the student does the following: o Completes the minimum number of credits and other requirements; o Does not pass the grade 10 FCAT 2.0/FSA with allowable accommodations after taking the test twice, once in grade 10 and once in grade 11; o Demonstrates mastery of standards in the core content knowledge and skills necessary for grade-to-grade and high school graduation after being provided instruction; and o Takes but does not pass the EOC exam, and has demonstrated mastery of the course standards benchmarks. ______F.S. 1003.43
Page | 21 EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT EDUCATION CRITERIA FOR SPECIAL DIPLOMA
The Special Diploma options are provided for students who have been properly identified as intellectually disabled (InD). Hearing impaired (HI), specific learning disabled (SLD), physically impaired (PI), dual-sensory impaired, emotionally/behaviorally disordered, on the autism spectrum (ASD) or language impaired (LI). Language impaired is only for students whose ability to communicate orally or in writing is seriously impaired. Requirements for a Special Diploma do not include passing FCAT 2.0/FSA or a minimum GPA of 2.0 Option 1: The student will master access points of the State of Florida standards and complete 24 credits as prescribed in this plan. Option 2: The student will demonstrate mastery of specified employment community competencies. The student will be successfully employed at a job in the community, based on industry standards, employed for at least 180 days, demonstrate mastery of the annual goals and short-term objectives related to employment and community competencies specified on the student’s Transition Individual Education Plan, demonstrate mastery of the competencies specified in the Employment and Community Competencies Training Plan, and paid at least a minimum wage in compliance with the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Students with disabilities entering grade nine (9) in 2000-2001 and thereafter, mastery of the State of Florida standards will be certified through completion of courses that address the relevant access points through use of alternative assessment procedures at the student’s level of functioning. If the student does not take the grade 10 FCAT 2.0/FSA or demonstrate mastery of the performance standards for ESE students, but does meet all other graduation requirements, the student will receive a special certificate of completion. For more specific information on special diploma, refer to the CCPS exceptional student education diploma options manual. Please note that students that were not designated to be on a Special Diploma track may no longer apply for an ESE Special Diploma. Students may apply for a standard diploma for ESE students through an alternative pathway or through academic and employment competencies.
504 STUDENT
Section 504 Is a broad civil rights law which protects the rights of individuals with disabilities in any agency, school or institution receiving federal funds to provide persons with disabilities to the greatest extent possible, an opportunity to fully participate with their peers. These plans are not automatic. A plan requires the use of evaluation to ensure students are not misclassified, unnecessarily labeled as having a disability, or incorrectly placed, based on inappropriate selection, administration, or interpretation of evaluation materials. Medical diagnosis, illnesses or impairments are not sufficient on their own to warrant a 504 plan, but will be considered if they substantially limit a major life activity. Minor limitations may disqualify a student for eligibility under the 504. Section 504 defines a person with a disability as:
Having a physical or mental impairment which limits one or more major life activity;
Page | 22 Have a record of such an impairment; or Are regarded as having an impairment.
Section 504 identifies accommodations as “reasonable” and appropriately based on the nature of the student’s disability. The accommodations are those deemed necessary to ensure the disabled student access to the general curriculum equal to that of a non-disabled peer. Accommodations should not alter the content, provide and unfair advantage or change the target skills.
ENGLISH FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES (ESOL)
Students are identified as possibly needing the services of the ESOL program according to their responses on the Home Language Survey, which is administered upon registration. The student is tested in aural/oral proficiency and/or reading/writing proficiency. ESOL students are placed in one of four levels (English I, II, III, IV through ESOL) depending on the degree of English proficiency. Each level constitutes one (1) credit of English toward graduation. A student at the high school level is exited from the ESOL program by scoring above the 45th percentile in both Reading and Writing as determined by a standardized test. 1002300 ESOL I (Satisfies grade 9 English) • 1002320 ESOL III (Satisfies grade 11 English) • 1002319 ESOL II (Satisfies grade 10 English) • 1002520 ESOL IV (Satisfies grade 12 English) The purpose of ESOL courses is to provide instruction in the language arts skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing to speakers of a language other than English. The content includes, but is not limited to, instruction and practice in the development of vocabulary, reading, and writing skills. Reading skills are developed through the study of literary works. Writing instruction includes analysis of sentence structure and practice in paragraph development. ESOL reading & Writing courses are for students in grades 9-12 who have not yet received a passing score on the FCAT Reading/FSA. These courses provide increased practice in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
