High School Planning Guide High School Planning Guide Preparing students for Graduation | College | Career Welcome to Poudre School District’s High School Planning Guide. This publication is designed as a support for students and families to guide student experiences in high school and prepare them to achieve their dreams after graduation. This guide contains three main sections: Transitioning to High School, Graduation and Beyond, and Career Exploration and Experiences. Each section provides an overview of what students can expect in high school in those areas including staff support, opportunities for students to try new experiences and planning their future. This booklet also contains two planning charts that graphically show what students need to graduate, what opportunities are available for college credit during high school and possible career experiences. The back of the guide features a roadmap of next steps for parents and students to explore to make the most of their high school careers. In the back folder are individual sheets from all eight of PSD’s high schools so parents and students can see what offerings are available at each high school. I hope you find this publication informative and useful. If you have any questions about your child’s career and academic path in PSD or how he/she can achieve future aspirations, please contact your child’s school counselor. Together, we can help students succeed in whatever they set their hearts and minds to.

PSD recognizes that freshmen need additional support to acclimate to the rigor and climate of high school. Our approach is a three-legged stool with students, families and the school supporting the desired outcome: graduation for all students. This philosophy involves a collaborative mindset where teachers and families partner to support students in exploring their passions and achieving at their highest academic potential. However, we also know social and emotional learning is critical to succeed in today’s world. So, PSD schools have a variety of programs in place to support students with their academic and personal maturity in high school including clubs, student leadership organizations, activities, the arts, technical courses and college-level classes. Along the way, schools also provide opportunities for College and Career Exploration: students to explore their passions and future career interests. As part of their four-year plan, students explore areas of aptitude and interest. They search colleges, trade schools and Social and Emotional Learning: apprenticeships that can help them meet the requirements Students may have a wide variety of emotions and of achieving a career in their industry of choice.

Each PSD high school prides itself on having unique club Schools also work to partner with families to ensure students offerings and activities. Students can join school-sponsored feel that support and are accessing the resources they need clubs or start one of their own to meet with like-minded to be successful. students.

These experiences prepare students to follow their dreams after graduation; be that going onto college, entering the military, attending a trade school or going straight into the workforce. Starting with 9th graders in 2017-2018, students must meet or exceed the District’s academic standards including College and Career Readiness Measures in English and in Mathematics (see below). See chart on page 11 for a list of graduation requirements by subject and area. Contact your counselor with any questions about the College and Career Readiness Measures as well as PSD’s graduation requirements. Approved College and Career Readiness Measures include: Accuplacer assessment International Baccalaureate assessment ACT assessment SAT assessment ACT WorkKeys assessment Concurrent Enrollment Course Advanced Placement assessment District Capstone ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Battery) Industry Certificate 3 Graduation and Beyond Planning for the Future A key component of the freshman year in high school is for students to set goals for their future, begin to explore careers, learn their strengths and weaknesses and compile a timeline to achieve these goals. Milestones are managed through the Individual Career and Academic Planning (ICAP) process which helps students develop the awareness, knowledge, aptitudes and skills to create their own pathway for life after graduation. PSD manages the students’ ICAP process through software called Career Cruising. Students enhance and modify their ICAP throughout their high school career as their interests and goals change. As seniors, the ICAP helps students through the application process for college and provides ways to enroll in apprenticeship programs. It also supports students in entering the workforce directly after graduation, if they so desire, with resume support, interview skills and leadership assessments. ICAP* Activities and Skills: GO Sending professional emails BEYOND Setting goals Writing a resume Documenting community and extra-curricular activities Identifying learning style and interests Exploring suitable occupations that match skills and interests Researching college application requirements including SAT, PSAT, financial aid, FAFSA Researching suitable colleges for areas of interest Documenting college and career visits *Career Cruising is the software that houses activities and assessments in the ICAP process. 4 Earning College Credit During High School Students in PSD high schools can earn college credit as part of their high school schedule. These classes are taught either at local college and university campuses or by college professors and PSD teachers at PSD’s high schools. Students can take college, career and technical courses for free in most cases, earning high school and college credit at the same time (courses through CU Denver have a per-credit-hour fee). Students can take as many courses as their schedule allows. With deliberate planning, students can even earn an Associate

This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

  • 2010 High School Graduates Enrolling in Colorado Public Higher Education in Fall Term 2010
    2010 High School Graduates Enrolling in Colorado Public Higher Education in Fall Term 2010 Summary Following C.R.S. 23-5-127 and beginning in Fall term 2010, the SASID (State Assigned Student Identifier ) began being collected in higher education enrollment data. From this point forward, a direct link exists between student history in K-12 and enrollment in public higher education in Colorado. This report summarizes a high school graduating class and their enrollment in higher education. Of the 2010 high school graduates, 46.3% enrolled in a public or reporting private institution in the state. The majority of these students (64.7%) enrolled in a four year public institution. The majority of the students enrolling in higher education were also female (53.0%) and White, non-Hispanic (64.0%). Source of Data Colorado Department of Education (CDE) High School Graduates, Spring 2010 and Department of Higher Education (DHE) Fall Term Enrollment, 2010 (SURDS) Data Limitations High school graduate file does not include late graduates, those graduating after May 2010 Higher education enrollment data collection is limited to public institutions and only a few private institutions. Enrollment in colleges out-of-state or the majority of in-state private, vocational or occupational colleges is not included in this report. Student identifiers submitted to higher education data system are matched by the colleges and universities using a matching process on several student characteristics. This matching process yields, on average, a 90 percent match. The remaining percentage would be included in enrollment data, but would not able to be matched to the high school graduate file.
