*All dates subject to change. All changes will be posted. IMPORTANT NOTE: Personal growth involves making informed decisions and learning from the consequences of those decisions. For this reason, the selection of courses should be made carefully by students and parents with information from teachers and counselors. The role of these professionals is to help students and parents make informed decisions which minimize failure, maximize success, and ensure the orderly and eﬃ cient operation of the school. Finally, teachers have the responsibility to maintain the integrity of standards and expectations of courses. Timelines

4 General Information

Th e Academic Program Guide should be reviewed carefully. As you make your course selections, it may be helpful to keep the following questions in mind:

1. What courses will I need to take each year to meet Lyons Township High School graduation requirements? 2. Considering my strengths, talents, and challenges, what career alternatives do I consider now? 3. In pursuing my probable educational and career plans, what continuing education will I want or need? Will I go directly to work? Should I consider a career in the armed services? 4. If I plan to seek additional education in college or other career preparation, am I familiar with the specifi c requirements needed for such a program? 5. Am I fully aware that my success depends upon good study habits, consistent self-discipline, an attitude of inquiry and cooperation, regular attendance, and positive progress toward predetermined goals? 6. Have I considered how much time is required to successfully manage the courses I have chosen? Will I be able to meet the demands of the course both physically and emotionally? Have I chosen courses that will allow for healthy and manageable levels of stress? You should list the courses you need and desire, then discuss your choices with school staff in light of your performance, your aptitudes, your test scores, your interests, and your future planning. Consider not only the courses that are appropriate for next year but those that will meet your goals over four years of high school.

All faculty & staff at LTHS are available to assist students and parents. Counselors are especially qualifi ed to help students assess their academic, personal, and social aptitudes to become increasingly capable of mature self- guidance. Th e fi nal responsibility for making wise educational decisions ultimately rests with the student and the parents. I encourage you to read through this Guide and choose your courses carefully. LTHS has much to off er. We look forward to helping you achieve your goals through our motto: Vita Plena - the quest for the fulfi lling life.

10 Academic Ability Levels - Standards and Expectations

E Q: How do we ensurevita plena for all students at LTHS? G: All students who enter LTHS will graduate prepared for college and careers through the system- atic connections made among academics, character and leadership, career and technical education, health and physical education, the arts and design. F: Th e minimum expectation for all students at LTHS is to succeed at the Preparatory level. E: All students will challenge themselves to delve deeper into courses and programs that stretch their abilities and provide opportunities for college and career goals.

An emphasis on application of learning, problem solving, and critical thinking are imperative for all of our graduates, no matter their plans for their futures or the level assigned to the course of study. • Rigor pertains to the fundamentals of education. All students will be expected to demonstrate mastery of the essential outcomes at the Preparatory level. Interventions and supports will be designed, implemented and measured to allow each student to succeed in accordance with individualized plans (e.g. IEP, Section 504, RtI). • Relevance links the past, the present and the future. Relevance at LT is the use of the building blocks of the past as learned through disciplines, applied to the problems of the present, to design solutions for the future. • Relationships are interconnected networks and systems. Wherever possible, opportunities to link course content to other courses and disciplines will be explored. While many assignments and courses require individual attention to achieve mastery, teachers and students will also seek relationships between and among all disciplines.

28 LTHS C/U D C

An increasing number of the courses off ered at LT allow for students to earn credit in a variety of ways through local and national colleges and universities. Check the Academic Program Guide online for up-to-date articulation agreements. Dual Credit is awarded by a college or university in addition to the credit earned at LT. In order to receive dual credit, a student must complete a course at LT that has been recognized by the college or university as meeting the curricular standards of the college course. As part of the registration of the LT course, students will also register with the college or university granting dual credit. Th e grade earned in the LT course will also be listed on the college or university transcript. Transcripted grades may then be forwarded from the college/university granting dual credit to any subsequent college or university. In some states, dual credit is not synonymous with concurrent credit, although for LT student purposes, we may consider them as one and the same. LT of- fers Dual Credit though COD, Moraine Valley, Indiana University, Triton and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). Beneﬁ ts for Students: • Earn college credits while still in high school • An enriched and challenging curriculum that reduces the duplication between the last years of high school and the fi rst years of college • Individualized instruction from teachers than might be possible from college professors • Confi dence that derives from success in a college course

ACP Program through Indiana University Advance College Project (ACP) is a dual-enrollment partnership between Indiana University and select high schools throughout Indiana and surrounding states. IU courses taught through the ACP program provide both high school and college credits (known as concurrent or dual enrollment) and allow students to fulfi ll high school graduation requirements as well as start building their college career. IU Courses are taught during the regular school day by certifi ed high school teachers who hold adjunct lecturer status through Indiana University. Th ere is a cost of only $25 per credit or free for students who qualify fi nancially. College/ LTHS Course University Course Credit

30 Lyons Township High School District 204 Homework Guidelines

Homework Philosophy Homework is a valuable learning activity performed outside of the classroom that contributes to student achievement and is an essential part of the educational process. It enhances learning by providing opportunities for practice, enrichment, and extension of classroom learning. Th e assignment of homework is given by the teacher and completed by the student in order to reinforce skills and/or knowledge presented during classroom instruction and is used to assess student achievement. Students at LTHS are expected to be assigned and to complete purposeful homework on a regular and timely basis. By completing homework, students develop mastery by applying what they have learned; acquire eff ective habits of self-discipline and time management; learn to work independently and in groups; gain a sense of personal responsibility for learning; and develop research skills such as locating, organizing, and condensing information.

Responsibilities Homework is a shared responsibility among the teacher, student and parents to encourage, provide and create an environment conducive to learning.

Teachers will…  assign homework that:  is realistic in length, duration and diffi culty.  extends and/or reinforces learning.  students have the necessary resources to complete.  is meaningful and purposeful.  corresponds to course content.  targets students’ needs, learning styles, and abilities through a wide variety of activities.  represents a variety of levels of understanding.  allows for fl exibility in its completion to accommodate individual circumstances at the teacher’s discretion and without sacrifi cing the integrity of the assignment.  complies with the Academic Ability Levels – Standards and Expectations as outlined in the Academic Program Guide.  provide: • clear explanations about what is expected. • suffi cient time for completion of assignments. • feedback by checking and/or grading the assignment.  return homework in a timely manner.  never use homework as punishment.  communicate with both students and parents regarding any on-going homework concerns. Information General

Language Arts by its very name suggests that students will study the language in its oral and written context and recognize the value and importance of the artistic use of language. At the center of this process is the development of the student’s critical thinking skills coupled with the development of a variety of means to express those thoughts. To these ends, the Language Arts Division provides students with the necessary basic skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Furthermore, it provides ample opportunities to critique and create literature, drama, speech, and media.

Mathematics Department Philosophy Th e mathematics curriculum has been developed to help students value mathematics, become confi dent in their abilities to do mathematics, become mathematical problem solvers, and to communicate and reason mathemati- cally. Students, as a result of the high school mathematics experiences, should be able to model problems with the appropriate operations and equations, apply a variety of approaches and techniques to solve problems, understand the underlying mathematical features of problems, see the applicability of mathematical ideas to common and complex problems, use logical reasoning to present an argument, and employ technology to explore mathematical ideas and solve problems.

Students who successfully completed Algebra (Accel) in Grade 7th or 8th grade will receive one unit of high school credit on a pass/fail basis. Th e high school credit will be awarded aft er successful completion of one year of mathematics while enrolled in high school. Mathematics

Students who are placed beyond Algebra (Accel) will receive credit for Algebra only aft er they successfully completed Geometry. Please note that credit will not appear on the student’s transcript until the end of the second semester of sophomore year. Th is credit will not apply to the three years of math credit required by the state of Illinois for high school graduation, nor will the level be designated.

Calculator Requirements

All Math/Science courses require a graphing calculator. Families should only purchase a graphing calculator if they do not already own one. Please call your student’s math teacher if you have any questions.

Physical Education and Health Department Philosophy Th e philosophy of the Physical Education and Health Department is to fulfi ll the Mission Statement of Lyons Township High School which charges that our work will “...foster the full intellectual, physical, moral, and aesthetic growth of each student.” Th e four year required course of study will use a broad variety of activities that will emphasize the promotion of a healthy lifestyle and acquisition of skills that will be valuable beyond the school setting. Th ese include... • the development and maintenance of personal fi tness; • the acquisition of health related knowledge, growth and development, the structure and function of body systems, illness prevention, and safety; • the development of various movement concepts and the refi nement of related motor skills; • the exposure to life long sport and fi tness activities; • the acquisition of physical competency and the knowledge of the rules and strategies of individual and team sports as well as recreational activities; and • the development of interpersonal skills necessary for successful living. Th e far-reaching nature of our discipline requires us to include aspects of each of the three educational domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and aff ective.

118 Physical Eduction and Health Department Standards

The Physical Education and Health Department has established standards for student learning that en- compass its programs at all grade levels. There are six general standards which guide the department’s programs and which challenge students. The department has also established more speciﬁ c standards for each general area, and these are available upon request. Finally, each course and activity unit within each course have standards for student learning.

Students will be able to...

1. demonstrate and understand movement skills that are necessary components of individual, team, leisure, work, and creative activities.

2. access, analyze, and apply health and wellness information obtained through the use of technology.

3. promote and demonstrate mature and responsible social behavior while respecting diversity among others in a variety of settings.

4. understand and demonstrate the benefi ts of physical fi tness as it relates to wellness.

5. understand the human body systems and the factors that infl uence growth and development.

6. understand and demonstrate basic health education principles, including the prevention and treatment of illness and injuries, while promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors.

ATTENDANCE Because of the length and nature of the Summer Academic Program, excellent punctuality and attendance are vitally important contributors to success. As a result, each student is expected to arrive at school on time and to be in attendance. Students and parents should take special note of the following Summer Academic Program policy. A student may be dropped from a semester summer school course with a grade of “WF” (Withdrawal/ Failure) and receive no credit if he/she... • accumulates more than one excused absence per semester (the equivalent of 4 hours); • accumulates more than two tardies to school or from the mid-morning break per semester (10 minutes or less per incident); and/or • accumulates any unexcused absence (any tardy exceeding 10 minutes may be considered an unexcused absence depending on the circumstance.) Activities such as family vacations, athletic competitions, and other non-illness related absences are unexcused absences. If a student is unable to attend class for any reason, a parent/guardian must report the absence to the Summer Program Offi ce as early as possible on the absence date. We will take calls beginning at 7:30 a.m. Voice mail will record messages at other times.

All students attending Technology Center of DuPage will be prepared to successfully transition to post-secondary education and careers.

TCD General Information Th e TCD campus is located in Addison, IL, approximately 30 minutes from LTHS North Campus. A student who enrolls in one of the programs attends TCD for three hours during the morning session each weekday and attends LT the other portion of the school day. Students earn 1.5 credits per semester and 3.0 credits per year. Programs/ Courses are posted both in the Guide and on the TCD website: www.tcdupage.org. Th e most up-to-date course information is on the TCD web page. Information in Th e Guide is for planning purposes only.

A student who desires to enroll in a particular TCD program should review the course descriptions and LTHS pre-requisites and Lyons Township High School basic graduation requirements. Counselors will provide additional information and an application for enrollment at TCD.

Th ere are deadlines to register for programs at TCD. A student who wishes to attend must turn in a completed application to his/her counselor one week in advance of the arena registration process. If the student’s application is received aft er this deadline, his/her name will be placed on a waiting list. Students who do not meet this deadline or meet the prerequisites fi rst semester, may enroll in a program at TCD during the second semester. Th ose students will be allowed to do so if they have completed an application and if there is available space.

Prerequisites In general, juniors and seniors who have completed 2 years of English, Mathematics, and Science at LT are eligible for enrollment at TCD. A few programs have specifi c LT prerequisites which students must meet; others have suggested but not mandatory prerequisites. It is important for students and parents to consult each program’s web page for syllabus information and academic recommendations. Most programs off er college credit, so are essen- tially a college level class.

College Credit through TCD Programs/Courses Most TCD programs off er dual credit or articulated college credit. Dual credit means earning high school through TCD and free college credit simultaneously through College of DuPage. Th is credit appears on the student’s high school transcript and is transferable to any school that accepts COD credit. Articulated credit is awarded aft er enrolling with a specifi c college or university, sometimes aft er successfully completing a test or other prerequisites. Th rough TCD, students may: • Reinforce academic skills through hands-on applications in a self-paced, goal-by-goal learning environment. • Earn industry-recognized certifi cations or prepare for state, federal, professional, or national licensing exams. • Create an eff ective résumé and workplace skills portfolio, valuable for applications or interviews for scholarships, colleges, or jobs. • Build workplace skills and confi dence through experience: job shadowing, internships, or TCD’s own student-run shops and labs. •Research the post-secondary educational options and scholarship opportunities; in the past four years, TCD seniors were awarded over $1.3 million in scholarships.

What TCD Is and Is Not TCD is not a separate educational institution, a trade school, or a college. It is part of LT’s elective courses, and course off erings are supplemented to LT’s curriculum. TCD has a strong academic focus on teaching basic principles of math, science, communications, and technology. However, TCD never underestimates the importance of real-world skills development in securing satisfying, well-paying employment. Th at’s why TCD’s unique combination of classroom instruction, career skills building, and hands-on experience is so eff ective in preparing students for today’s high-performance workplace. TCD

178 Th e Technology Center of DuPage is regarded as one of the Midwest’s fi nest schools for career studies.  Participation Fee Th e fl at participation fee includes educational supplies, equipment, materials, and/or course book purchase or rental. Additional fees may include supplies purchased directly from a vendor or specialized curricula. See www. tcdupage.org for the latest and most complete information. In no case should a program fee prevent a student from enrolling in a Technology Center of DuPage program.
