Friday, April 17, 2020 a MESSAGE from DR. RALPH OPACIC Friday, April 17, 2020 A MESSAGE FROM DR. RALPH OPACIC CSArts-SGV’s Executive Director, Dr. Ralph Opacic, sends his thoughts and words of hope to our campus community as we continue creating art at home. Click here or on the screenshot below to watch his video message. BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT 2.0 As you know, in light of this unique time of distance learning, we have laid out guiding principles for CSArts-SGV’s teachers, students, and parents. However, we understand that different teaching styles, technological access and preferences, and family responsibilities can result in different experiences and expectations across teachers’ online courses. Although we cannot host an in-person Back-to-School Night this spring, we want to ensure that the lines of communication between parents and teachers remain open. We encourage parents to virtually participate in our Back-to-School Night 2.0 by visiting the "Back-to- School Night 2.0" Google Doc and watching video presentations from teachers containing approaches to online distance learning for each of their child’s individual courses. ADVANCED PLACEMENT EXAMS The College Board plans to continue to offer Advanced Placement (AP) exams during these extraordinary times for learning and has been providing regular testing information updates on their website. Key highlights from the College Board’s plan for AP exams are included below. • AP exams (excluding portfolio exams such as AP Studio Art and AP Computer Science Principles) will all take place AT HOME and ONLINE from Monday, May 11th - Friday, May 22nd. • Most exams will be 45 minutes long and include 5 additional minutes for uploading responses. • Most exams will include 1-2 free-response questions only. • Exams will be open-book and open-note. • Exams will only include topics and skills that most classes covered by early March. • Students will choose what type of device – computer, tablet, or smartphone – to use. They can also choose to write their responses by hand and submit a photo of their work. It is important to note that colleges and universities will still accept AP exam scores from the 2019-2020 school year. Therefore, the benefits of taking the AP exams are the same as they have always been. It is a good experience for students to take a high-stakes exam to show all that they have learned this year. These exams can also help students earn college credit before they graduate from high school. However, parents: If your child no longer wants to take the AP exam in its shortened and reduced form, you can easily cancel any exam of your choosing and request a full refund using the form here. Students do not need to do anything to cancel an exam other than simply not taking it; no email needs to be sent, and no notification needs to be given to CSArts-SGV or the College Board. The College Board will not be charging CSArts-SGV for canceled exams this year, including the base fee that families paid in the fall. To receive a refund, we ask that you fill out the form here by Friday, May 22nd. This will streamline our Business Office’s process of refunding families. Refunds will not be issued until late May or early June after AP exam rosters have been confirmed. Should any family currently have trouble accessing a device or reliable internet, please notify the College Board here. Mrs. Read has been working with families who have technological access challenges; if this is the case for your family, please also email her at [email protected]. Future AP exam communications from CSArts-SGV will be sent from Mrs. Read directly to the families of confirmed test takers. Thank you for your time and attention. DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASSES CSArts-SGV has been fortunate to offer a large number of dual enrollment classes in partnership with Citrus College over the past three semesters. This allows students to take classes on our campus and simultaneously receive credit at both CSArts-SGV and Citrus College. Twenty-seven conservatory classes are currently being offered through the dual enrollment program. Almost all of these classes are also articulated across the California State University and University of California systems, making transfer of credits between Citrus College and these public universities seamless. It is important to note that these classes, though offered on our campus and with our teachers, are college-level classes and are not subject to the grading practices we have recently outlined for all of our other classes. Because these classes are at a higher level, new content is being taught and evaluated, and grades are not fixed per the last grading period. Here is the guidance we have been given from Citrus College: Instructors for dual enrollment classes have been advised to make modest adjustments and be somewhat lenient with assignment deadlines, etc., and that has included some instructors adjusting their assessments. However, the content of the course as outlined in the course syllabus must still be delivered and assessed, as it is a college-level course. If this is not suitable for a student, they have two options: • Pass/No Pass Option (P/NP): This allows for students to elect a "pass/no pass" in lieu of a grade. Citrus College is unsure whether CSU and UC schools will accept this grading option in our courses, particularly if it is for a major. • Excused Withdrawal (EW): If this option is selected, students are withdrawn from the course, and the course does not count as an attempt, nor does it affect their academic record in any way. The EW will remain an option through the end of the course. As always, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) guidelines for our dual enrollment classes are set by the federal government; consequently, we do not post grades on Schoology, and instructors are not allowed to communicate with parents regarding a student’s progress without written permission obtained from the student through Citrus College. Parents: If you have questions as to whether the Pass/No Pass or Excused Withdrawal should be considered for your child, please reach out to one of our counselors to help make an informed decision. SENIOR UPDATES COMING SOON Senior families: Please stay tuned for an email early next week with information pertaining specifically to the Class of 2020, including an update on graduation. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we work to address challenges surrounding senior events and celebrations in light of the extended school closure. LAST CHANCE TO ORDER A YEARBOOK A limited number of CSArts-SGV yearbooks for the 2019-2020 school year are still available!

Please note: We are still planning to distribute yearbooks in a timely manner, to the best of our abilities.

However, as soon as we receive our order from Herff Jones, we will notify our families with a plan for distribution. If you have any questions regarding ordering or distribution of the yearbook, please email [email protected]. NEW: VIRTUAL SHOWCASE & FANFARE EXPERIENCE We invite you to join us for CSArts-SGV’s new Virtual Showcase & Fanfare Experience!

  • PSAT/MNSQT Testing Accommodation Enclosures
    ENCLOSURE 1: PSAT/NMSQT ACCOMMODATIONS PROCESS To Parents and/or Guardians of Students with Disabilities: Students with disabilities who have testing accommodations documented in an IEP or 504 Plan may be eligible for accommodations on the PSAT/NMSQT test. However, not all testing accommodations in an IEP or 504 Plan are permitted by the College Board, and not all students with Standards of Learning (SOL) testing accommodations will require these accommodations on the PSAT/NMSQT. Information about eligibility for PSAT/NMSQT testing accommodations is available on the College Board website (https://accommodations.collegeboard.org/eligibility). If the student already has College Board accommodations approved from a previous PSAT/NMSQT, SAT, or AP test, then no further action is needed. For a student to receive PSAT/NMSQT accommodations, the College Board must approve a formal request for the student. Each high school has a designated staff member who serves as the SSD (Services for Students with Disabilities) coordinator and works with the College Board to make these requests. All accommodations requests are due from the school to the College Board in August. The school may not make a request without consent from you and your student. Parents/guardians must give their input and consent to the school by August __________. Below you will find information on possible College Board testing accommodations. As you and your student consider which accommodation(s) may be appropriate for the PSAT/NMSQT, please keep in mind the following: ● the content, format, and purpose of the assessment (https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt- psat-10/inside-the-test); ● implications on overall testing time or setting for some accommodations (see notes on Enclosure 2); and ● duration of the accommodation approval (once approved, College Board accommodations must be used for all future College Board tests, including SAT and AP exams, unless a written refusal is submitted).

It lets teachers pick any coding language and has a gentler vibe. There is an exam, but students also submit projects “more similar to a studio art portfolio,” Mr. Packer said.

    ADVANCED PLACEMENT EXAMINATIONS Advanced placement credits exempt a student from taking the equivalent courses at Hopkins. Johns Hopkins grants credit on some AP exams according to the accompanying table. If you receive an eligible score on any test listed on the accompanying table, please request that a score report for all years be sent to the Undergraduate Admissions Office at Hopkins. Remember that students are required to complete 100 credits through Johns Hopkins University. If a student enters the University with credit for an Advanced Placement examination and then completes an equivalent course at JHU for credit, the AP credits (and lab waiver, if applicable) will be disallowed. The credits and grade for the JHU course will appear on the academic record. The AP exam title remains on the record, but the credit value is reduced to zero. Biology: Students awarded credit for AP Biology are exempt from taking the corresponding lab courses. These lab courses are waived but no credit is awarded. Students awarded credit for AP Biology who complete 020.153 General Biology Lab I will lose 3 credits of AP Biology credit.

  • Accommodations on Any College-Board Exam (SAT, SAT Subject Tests, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, Or Advanced Placement® Exams) Are Not Given Automatically
    College-Board Accommodation Documentation Guidelines Important to know: - Accommodations on any College-Board exam (SAT, SAT Subject Tests, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, or Advanced Placement® Exams) are not given automatically. - Even if a request for accommodation is made, and/or a 504 Plan is in place, there is no guarantee that students will receive those requested accommodations. - The request for accommodations must be submitted by the Lowell High School SSD Coordinator, and must be approved by the College-Board, Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) department. - It can take up to seven weeks for an accommodations request to be processed by the College- Board SSD department, so plan accordingly. With the new 2017 process now in place, it has been typically only taking one to three weeks, unless there are special circumstances. - Once a student’s accommodations are approved by the College Board, they remain in effect until one year after high school graduation (with some limited exceptions) and can be used on the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and AP Exams. Students do not need to request accommodations from SSD a second time. https://www.collegeboard.org/students-with-disabilities/ssd-online The College Board provides many different types of accommodations for students with disabilities whose requests have been approved by SSD. Documentation is always required and must meet the College Board’s guidelines. https://www.collegeboard.org/students-with-disabilities/documentation-guidelines Seven Documentation Criteria: Acceptable documentation meets seven broad criteria: 1. The diagnosis is clearly stated. 2. Information is current. 3. Educational, developmental, and medical history is presented.
