Supervisor Lisette Orlena Grace Smith Jan Tokarczyk Suzanne Young Course Selection Guide Easton Area High School offers a diverse and ample number of courses to meet the needs of all of our students. Proper selection of courses, which match students’ abilities, interests, and aspirations, will prepare them for future educational and career goals. This Course Guide has been prepared to guide and assist all students and their parents in the choice of courses for the 2020-2021 academic year. The advice of parents, teachers, and counselors should be utilized when choosing courses in order to ensure that students are properly placed to maximize the achievement of their abilities and talents and to prepare for their future. Students should not simply choose courses to meet requirements; rather they should take maximum advantage of the programs offered at Easton Area High School including: Advanced Placement, Honors, College Preparatory in all academic and some elective courses; Tech Prep Programs; Career Institute of Technology; and Diversified Occupations. Graduation Requirements Easton Area High School requires all students to earn 24.50 units between grades 9 and 12 to be awarded a diploma. Courses must be completed in the following areas: Subject Area Units ● English 4 ● Social Studies 4 ● Mathematics 3 ● Science (including Biology) 3 ● Health/ Physical Education 2.5 ● Electives 8 Students are encouraged to select their elective credits from courses that fit into their desired career pathway. Those students who plan to attend a four-year college should take a minimum of two years of a foreign language; however, many colleges like to see three or more years of foreign language study. Students are promoted to the next grade level by earning a specified number of credits: ● 5.50 credits (to be a sophomore) ● 11.50 credits (to be a junior) ● 17.50 credits (to be a senior) There are no exceptions to this policy. If a student fails a required course, they are encouraged to attend summer school in order to ensure graduation with their class, or they will be required to repeat the course the following year. Course Selection Process Course selection is an important process and should be given serious consideration. Once final selections are made, all course requests are tallied. The number of sections of each course and teachers’ next year assignments are determined by these tallies. It is very important that each student’s selections be made very carefully, as changes once the schedule has been built cannot be guaranteed. Students should select seven units and no more than eight units (per school year). Courses chosen and confirmed by June 2020 will be considered final selections. The scheduling process will begin in February of the preceding school year. ● Guidance counselors will review course selection information with all students in grades 8, 9, 10, and 11. The course selection guide is available to students and parents on the high school website and in grade level Google Classrooms. Students’ selection for the core courses of English, Social Studies, Math, and Science will be completed with their current content area teacher. If students would like to change their level in these courses they should confer with their core content area teacher. ● Students will select elective courses of their choice. When doing so, students are to make sure they have met all of the prerequisites for that course. Student choices will be entered into Xello. It is imperative that parents review these selections with their child prior to entering them in Class Choice. Once students have finished entering their electives, the course selection sheet is to be returned to their advisory teacher (grades 9,10, and 11) and History teacher (grade 8). ● All students must meet the minimum credit requirement. That is, seven (7) credits (per school year) including health and physical education at the appropriate grade levels. If less than seven credits are chosen, additional classes will be added. Schedule Changes or Withdrawals A concerted effort is made to accommodate each student’s course requests. Unfortunately, there are times when a student’s requests cannot be accommodated due to the number of sections available in a particular course or the periods a course is offered conflicting with another chosen selection. Requests for schedule changes MUST be made within 8 days of the start of each semester. Request forms are available in the Guidance office. Schedule changes or withdrawals (after the first 8 days) require administrative approval and will be considered for the following reasons ONLY: ● Clerical or computer error ● Student missing a required core class or lunch period ● Reassignment due to failure ● Diversified Occupations program – entering or withdrawing from the program ● CIT Requests – entering or withdrawing from the program ● Change in levels (example: Honors to CP) with teacher recommendation o A student requesting a schedule change for academic reasons should first meet directly with their teacher to discuss academic concerns. o Only after meeting with the teacher, counselor, and with parental approval, will the grade level principal review the request. Every effort must be made by the student to be academically successful. Schedule changes WILL NOT be considered for the following reasons ● To accommodate teacher preference ● Lateral move within the same subject area ● Change to obtain a preferred lunch period Note: If a student selects a course he/she is expected to complete it. Students MUST complete all courses in their entirety in order to receive course credit. If a student chooses to drop a science or math class that has a lab in semester 2 he or she will receive no credit at the end of semester 1. Taking a Course on a Pass/Fail Basis Seniors only may opt to take a course on a pass/fail basis. Students and parents are reminded that only non-graduation credits may be taken on a pass/ fail basis. Students are permitted to take only one course per year as a Pass/Fail course. The decision to take a course on a pass/fail basis must be made before the end of the first marking period for a semester course, and before the end of first semester for a full year course. No numerical grade will appear on the student’s report card. Students will receive a grade of P (PASS) or F (FAIL). A grade of 60 or above will warrant a P; a grade of 59 or below will result in the awarding of an F; grades received will not be included in Honor Roll or in class rank computations. Full unit will be awarded at the end of the class. Students are expected to do all work that is required of individuals taking the class for a numerical grade. TO TAKE A CLASS PASS/FAIL: 1. Student should have his/her eligibility checked by their counselor. 2. If eligible, student obtains Pass/Fail permission form from their counselor. 3. Student must return signed permission form to their counselor. Class Rank Class rank is determined by computing a general average derived from grades at the end of each marking period. It is cumulative beginning with the first quarter of 9th grade and ending with the final grades in grade 12. Advanced Placement courses are weighted 9% of all grades 60 through 100; Honors courses are weighted 6% of all grades 60 through 100. Class rank is calculated each marking period and at the end of the year. All courses are included in rank and GPA calculation except for Physical Education, Junto, and Rechauffe. Independent Study Independent studies run outside of the regular schedule, are not guaranteed and cannot be taken for core graduation requirements. Students are eligible to complete one elective class per year as an independent study. If a student is interested in taking an elective class as an independent study, they must first meet with their school counselor to discuss the option. It is the student’s responsibility to find a teacher willing to provide the independent study. From there, the student will need to receive written permission from the teacher as to how they will work together to complete the class. Student must submit the plan in writing for Principal approval. Once approved, student will submit plan to counselor. Teachers are not required to run independent studies with students. If a teacher grants an independent study and the administration approves, the class will be listed on the student’s transcript, receive credit, and be counted in class rank and GPA. Dual Enrollment The Dual Enrollment program enables high school juniors and seniors to enroll in college-level courses and receive both secondary and postsecondary credit for that coursework. A student must have a GPA of 83% and be a student in good standing. You are able to enroll for up to a maximum of six credits (two classes) through the Dual Enrollment Program per academic semester. Courses taken through Dual Enrollment cannot be counted as core subject requirements. Transportation and tuition is not the responsibility of Easton Area School District. Courses taken over the summer cannot be counted for credit or used for student advancement in course requirements. Career and Technical Programs CTE (SOAR) EAHS currently offers four Career and Technical Education programs with three of those programs falling under the Pennsylvania Department of Education SOAR (Students Occupationally and Academically Ready) initiative.

  • Fifty Shades of Censorship?
    Editor: Henry Reichman, California State University, East Bay Founding Editor: Judith F. Krug (1940–2009) Publisher: Barbara Jones Office for Intellectual Freedom, American Library Association ISSN 1945-4546 July 2012 Vol. LXI No. 4 www.ala.org/nif It did not escape the notice of Tim Cole, collections manager for the Greensboro Public Library in North Carolina, that Fifty Shades of Grey was “of mixed literary merit,” as he politely put it. He ordered 21 copies anyway. His patrons had spoken, Cole said, and like other library officials across the coun- try, he had gotten the message: Readers wanted the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. They have besieged libraries with requests for the books, signaling a new wave of popularity for these erotic novels, which became the best-selling titles in the nation this spring. In some cases demand has been so great that it has forced exasperated library officials fifty shades of to dust off their policies — if they have them — on erotica. In April the trilogy, which includes the titles Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades censorship? Freed, was issued in paperback by Vintage Books, part of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, sending sales through the roof when the publisher printed and dis- tributed the books widely for the first time. That enthusiasm has carried over to libraries. At many, Fifty Shades of Grey, by the previously unknown British author E. L. James, is the most popular book in circula- tion, with more holds than anyone can remember on a single title, including 2,121 as of May 18 at the Hennepin County Public Library, which includes Minneapolis, up from 942 on April 9.

  • Section 2: Regional Profile
    SECTION 2: REGIONAL PROFILE SECTION 2: Regional Profile This section provides a political, physical, demographic and economic description of the Lehigh Valley, and details the inventory of assets (population, general building stock, and critical facilities and infrastructure) assembled to assess the vulnerability of the Lehigh Valley to natural, man-made and technological hazards. 2.1 Location The counties of Lehigh and Northampton, together measuring about 729 square miles, are located in the central eastern portion of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania about 80 miles west of New York City and 50 miles north of Philadelphia (see Figure 2-1). Figure 2-1. Regional Setting Source: LVPC DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update– Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania 2-1 April 2013 SECTION 2: REGIONAL PROFILE 2.2 History In the 1730s Scotch-Irish and German settlers began the agricultural development of the Lehigh Valley. During the 19th and 20th centuries, canals, railroads, and highways coupled with the manufacturing of steel, cement, heavy trucks and chemicals continued to transform the economy and the landscape. The rivers and streams of the Lehigh Valley have played an important role in its history and development. The area’s three cities and some of its major boroughs grew along the banks of the Lehigh or Delaware rivers. The Lehigh and Delaware Navigation Canals owed their existence to these rivers. Many streams served as the sites for early mills that were dependent on a supply of running water. Most major industries also were located along the banks of rivers or streams (LVPC, 2010). Further details on the history of the Lehigh Valley may be found in the following sources: Lehigh Valley Profile and Trends – 2012 Edition (www.lvpc.org) Lehigh Valley History Website: http://lehighvalleyhistory.com 2.3 Government and Political Subdivisions The Lehigh Valley contains 62 incorporated municipalities, 25 in Lehigh County and 38 in Northampton County (the City of Bethlehem lies within both counties).
