COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE SERVICES The counseling office is open from 7:10 to 2:40. You are welcome to come in for information or arrange for an appointment with your counselor. Each student is assigned a counselor according to your last name. The counselor’s purpose is to assist students academically and developmentally.

The counseling department provides support in order to help students understand themselves, to know their abilities, and to realistically look at them to solve their immediate problems as well as make logical decisions regarding their future. In short, the purpose of the counseling office is to interpret data, so the student may make an informed choice. The counseling department focuses their efforts on helping prepare graduates who are ready to take their place in an adult society as self-sufficient member who can give direction to their own lives. A brief description of the major areas handled in the counseling office follows:

RECORDS - The counseling office handles student records. Test information, grades, credits, and other information are maintained in each student’s cumulative records. When requested by students, official transcripts are forwarded to college admission officers, the military, employers, and other authorized institutions. Students seeking transcripts, college applications or scholarships should inquire at the counseling office.

REGISTRATION - Counselors help students plan their educational programs for high school and beyond. Proper planning and registration are worked out in group and individual meetings. It is important that the students gain a realistic concept of themselves in order to develop their educational plans. Counselors are trained to help students in this endeavor. Students plan and build a schedule according to their needs, interests, abilities, and goals.

POST HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING - All students should use the guidance services of the school in planning for the future. Materials are available online as well as, in the career center and counseling center on vocations, schools, training programs, and career planning information. High school programs should be planned to prepare the student for his/her place in the post high school world. Orientation and information meetings are held throughout the year on this important topic.

3 Printed material is distributed at intervals to keep students informed. The counseling center has information about post high school institutions within the state and provides service in submitting transcripts to colleges upon the student’s request. It is the student’s responsibility to take advantage of these services. College is now defined as 1, 2, or 4 years of education and training after high school. College can be a community college, a College of Applied Technology, a private technical college, and/or 4-year colleges and universities. All students need to prepare to be college and career ready!

It is never too early to start planning for your college education and job training. Begin as early as you can with a goal in mind so you can focus on what you need to do – classes you need to take to be prepared for your bright and compelling future. A positive future lies ahead when you take school seriously and plan for education and training after high school graduation.

SCHOLARSHIPS/FAFSA - The counseling office and career center make every effort to distribute information via the counseling center website, newsletters, guest speakers, printed materials, group meetings, and individual conferences, etc. Students must assume the basic responsibility for making application and obtaining references, providing financial responsibility forms, personal data sheets, and other information requested by various organizations and schools. The counseling area and career center have information about these programs, but the students must take the initiative.

Experience indicates that the more aggressive the student is in seeking and applying for scholarships on a widespread basis, the more successful he/she will be in receiving help. Students should begin checking on the possibilities of financial assistance and/or scholarships at the beginning of their senior year.

High school grades are one of the more important factors in receiving scholarships. Students seriously concerned about receiving a scholarship must maintain an excellent record throughout high school and receive a high score on the ACT. The level of classes taken in high school and a history of service in the community could also be important factors in obtaining a scholarship. Admissions officers also examine extra-curricular records, evidence of leadership, citizenship and special talents. Establishing financial need is also an important factor. Most scholarship applicants must file a complete, confidential statement. Students should inform their counselors of their intent to seek scholarships and are urged to make a continuing study of the scholarship materials available in the counseling office.

What is the FAFSA? The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the first step in the financial aid process. You use the FAFSA to apply for federal student aid, such as grants, loans and work-study. In addition, most colleges use the information from the FAFSA to award nonfederal aid.

The counseling office will also provide information to interested students concerning concurrent enrollment programs where students take college credit courses while attending high school and early graduation programs.

ATTENDANCE & CITIZENSHIP POLICIES

The responsibility for students’ attendance lies first with the student and then the parent or legal guardian. In order to help parents, stay better informed, Kearns High School will provide an automated calling system to report when a student has missed one or more classes. Regular attendance is a requirement for academic success. Accordingly, all students at Kearns High School are expected to be present and ON- TIME in all their classes every school day. Students and parents/legal guardians are reminded that absences adversely affect participation grades in their classes. These participation grades may weigh heavily in the determination of final academic grades.

Students who are absent from school should have their parent/legal guardian notify the school the day of their absence by calling the attendance office at (385) 646-5383. If you are unable to call on that day, students must provide a note from parent/legal guardian WITHIN ONE WEEK of the absence. The note must include the following information: student’s name, date(s) of absence, reason for absence, and the parent/legal guardian’s signature and phone number. Whenever possible, parents/legal guardians are urged to make medical or dental appointments after school hours. More attendance information is available in the student handbook that can be found on the school’s webpage.

ATTENDANCE CHECK-IN & CHECK-OUT Students who arrive later than 20 minutes - will be considered absent - and need to report to the Attendance Office before reporting to class. These students will also need verification from a parent or guardian (a note or a phone call) excusing the absence. Students who leave school before the end of the day are required to check out through the Attendance Office. This may be done with parent or guardian permission only (a note or a phone call). Students, who leave school without properly checking out, will be considered truant.

CITIZENSHIP DETERMINATION A 2.0 cumulative citizenship grade (CPA) is required for a student to participate in graduation ceremonies and receive a Kearns High School Diploma. The student’s CPA is determined by the following: (Students earn citizenship through reasonable behavior and acceptable attendance.) 1) Behavior - An uncorrected series of negative behaviors or one serious incident may result in a “0" in citizenship. 2) Tardiness - On the fourth tardy from any one class, a student will not receive a grade higher than a “1", and on the fifth tardy a “0”.

4 3) Truancy - truancy is defined as an un-excused absence. For one “sluff”/truancy, the student will receive a citizenship grade no higher than a “1". For the second “sluff” the student will receive a citizenship grade no higher than a “0". Teachers must issue a “0” if a student has two or more unexcused absences, and/or has been tardy four times. 4) Granite School District Attendance Policy – All children of legal school age residing within the boundaries of the Granite School District shall be required to be in regular school attendance in accordance with the compulsory attendance laws of the state of Utah (Section 53A-11-101 through section 53A-11-105, Utah Code, Annotated 1965). a. Students must be in regular attendance to understand and successfully complete a course of study; therefore, parents and students should accept responsibility and accountability for the student’s attendance. Each school has established guidelines to encourage regular attendance. b. Parents or guardians must provide school personnel a written excuse for each absence. c. Parents are encouraged to seek prior approval for their student’s extended absences. The administration may require a physician’s note for more than 7 absences in a term. 5) Appeals Procedure - If a student disputes a citizenship grade, it must be resolved with the issuing teacher before the end of the term following the one in which the grade was received. 6) Due Process – a. The citizenship requirements for graduation are provided to each student/parent at the beginning of each school year. b. Each report care will reflect the citizenship grades for the term and the cumulative CPA, which will reflect progress toward graduation. Sixteen report cards are issued to students enrolled in grades 9 - 12. c. Students who fail to achieve a 2.0 cumulative CPA at the end of each year are notified that graduation is in jeopardy. Students and parents may be invited to meet with a school counselor or administration to determine a positive course of action. d. Students who fail to meet the citizenship requirement for high school graduation may enroll in the Granite School District Adult Education program and earn a Granite School District diploma. Citizenship Requirements General information and requirements for citizenship in Granite School District: a. Satisfactory citizenship is a graduation requirement in Granite School District. This includes behavior, attendance, punctuality, and adherence to the rules and policies of the school. Students will be required to earn a 2.0 cumulative citizenship point average (CPA) on a 4.0-point scale in grades 9-12. In addition to academic grades the following citizenship grades will be awarded: 4 – Honor, 3 – Good, 2 – Satisfactory, 1 – Poor, 0 – Failure b. Transfer students will be required to maintain a 2.0 CPA to meet graduation requirements from the time they enroll in Granite School District. c. High school students who do not achieve the required 2.0 CPA may not graduate. Each high school’s graduation committee will make the final decision. Duration of Classes Kearns High School offers full year classes as well as semester classes (½ year). Students are expected to remain in their selected classes for the entire year or semester. Students requesting the respective courses must understand that they are intended to cover the entire time period allotted. An enrollment of at least six weeks is required in order to receive credit for the term in question for any class. Class changes cannot be made after the second week of any term or the student will not be able to fulfill the enrollment time requirement for credit. Classes are approximately 90 minutes long and meet every other day.

7 For more information, see your counselor. This schedule includes bus transportation time. Special education students and teachers are guided and limited by the Individual Education Plan (IEP), which is developed by the teacher, student, parent, and administrator. Class scheduling is accomplished with the assistance of the student’s assigned counselor and file holder. Special education student’s schedules will be programmed to meet all graduation requirements, including citizenship. Any exceptions must be noted on the IEP.

STUDENT CONDUCT AT SPORTS EVENTS Student conduct and demeanor at school competitions is clearly outlined by Region and State guidelines. In general, students are encouraged to enthusiastically support their team while displaying good sportsmanship to opponents. The use of noisemakers, posting signs or banners with a negative connotation, obscene gestures, verbal remarks and cheers, and/or taunting others is not permitted. At all games, Kearns High School students are to sit in the student section designated for Kearns students. Cheerleaders have been selected as the official group to lead school cheering efforts at these events. Individual groups or students conducting cheers are discouraged. Students currently suspended, are not allowed at all school events.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY As a student at Kearns High School, you are expected to be aware of and to accept your individual responsibilities in the following areas:

The Teaching - Learning Process: Students deserve the best instruction that Kearns High School can provide. For teacher efforts to be as successful as possible and for students to work and achieve to the best of their ability, students must cooperate with teachers. Teachers help the activity of learning that goes on in the minds of the students. Learning is a natural process, but unless students work at gaining knowledge and understanding, "...no genuine learning ever occurs, no matter what teachers try to do to make it occur (Adler)."

Respect for the Rights of Others: Every student right has an obligation attached to it. Student rights must be balanced against the rights of other students. Also, the purpose of school and the requirements of the educational process must be weighed in deciding student rights and consequences for misbehavior. Our society has laws, and our school has rules that need to be observed. Students, who want to take full advantage of their rights and opportunities, while at the same time respecting the rights of others, have Kearns High School’s full support.

Responsibility for Your Own Actions: A student is held responsible only for the things HE/SHE does or fails to do. The actions of others are of little importance in determining whether a student has accepted his or her responsibility as a student-citizen of Kearns High School. If a student chooses to follow bad examples set by a few others at Kearns High School, that student will be held responsible for their actions only. A student’s first responsibility is to decide how he/she should conduct themselves while in school. Their second responsibility is to be prepared to accept the consequences for their own actions.

12 Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent enrollment is available for grades 11 and 12. Students must apply for admission through their high school teacher during the first week of the class. If a student has been previously admitted, only the registration form is needed; previously admitted students do not submit another application. There is a one-time NON- REFUNDABLE fee payable to SLCC for $40.00. The student will go on line to register at www.slcc.edu/concurrentenrollment. Students who register at SLCC do not have to ever pay the application fee again so long as they take at least one course every two years. Should the student decide to drop or withdraw from the course, they will forfeit this fee. They may, however, register for courses another semester or year without paying the fee again. No more than 30 credits of CE credit may be earned in high school. There is a $5.00 per credit hour fee for tuition; and students will need to purchase their own textbooks. Please note that some courses are offered through Weber State University. Please see the course teacher for more information.

Important Considerations: • Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) believes that for students to be successful in college courses, they must be able to read and comprehend textbooks and materials printed on an appropriate reading level and be able to solve appropriate level mathematics problems. • SLCC has initiated in a prerequisite testing policy for students registering for college courses. This policy requires all college and high school students to demonstrate their abilities by participating in a college placement test. Appropriate test scores from either the ACT, SAT, or the Accuplacer Computerized Placement Test (CPT) are accepted by SLCC for placement in college placement courses. Higher placement scores allow a student to participate in a wider variety of concurrent enrollment courses. • The ACT test is offered six times throughout the year. Registration is due 5 weeks prior to the test. Details for ACT registration are available on the counseling center website. Test fee waivers are available for those who qualify.

First-Time Concurrent Enrollment Students Before students will be allowed to register for a concurrent enrollment class they must be admitted to SLCC. Students must register on line at www.slc.edu/concurrentenrollment and go to apply on line. There is a $40 registration fee. Students must print their receipt and bring a copy to their counselor showing their “S” number and payment before they will be allowed to register for Concurrent Classes.

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT CLASSES ARE INDICATED THROUGHOUT THE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND ON THE REGISTRATION CARDS WITH (CC).

Concurrent enrollment classes are college level classes offered by Salt Lake Community College to high school students for both high school and college credit. Concurrent enrollment students are enrolled in high school and college at the same time. While earning high school credits, students earn regular college credit, which is recorded on a college transcript. The purpose of concurrent courses is to provide introductory level course work that allows students to satisfy some general education requirements at the college level. Students may register for both vocational and general education classes. Generally, college courses vary from 2 to 6 credit hours per course.

The instructors are high school teachers who have been approved by the college to teach the college courses at the high school. These teachers are required to use the same syllabi, textbooks and exams as the college faculty.

These courses are recommended for any student planning to continue at a college or university after graduation. Students interested in enrolling in a concurrent enrollment class must do so before the first-class session. Retroactive registration is not allowed.

All concurrent enrollment courses count toward a degree at SLCC. The Utah System of Higher Education has directed all institutions to accept concurrent enrollment credit. Concurrent enrollment courses are given either major, general education, or elective credit at other Utah public colleges and universities. Not all concurrent enrollment courses count directly toward a major at other Utah public colleges and universities. Private schools or out-of-state schools may or may not accept concurrent credit. It is the student’s responsibility to ascertain whether the university, which he/she will be attending, accepts concurrent enrollment credit.

Students are responsible for dropping or withdrawing from classes they are not attending or are not intending to complete. The withdrawal policy for concurrent enrollment students allows students to withdraw at any time if the student has not yet taken the final exam or had a final grade posted. The application fee will not be refunded.

Grading criteria is not the same for both high school and Salt Lake Community College (SLCC). College grading is done according to SLCC policies. College level work is required in all concurrent classes; thus, grading is based on college standards/requirements. The grade given for the high school course is the same grade given for the college course. Students receive grade reports from SLCC by mail. The SLCC Registrar’s Office does not give grades over the telephone. Students may obtain a copy of their SLCC transcript by written request to the Registrar’s Office at SLCC. Check with the college for the appropriate fee. A concurrent enrollment student who wishes to use the library and open computer labs at SLCC must obtain a SLCC ID card from the ID center in the basement of the Student Center. Bring your picture ID. For more information about the concurrent enrollment program, see your counselor. Be Aware that there is a $5.00 fee per credit hour. This means that if the course is 3 credit hours then you would have to pay an additional $15.00 for the class. This fee is completely separate from the $40.00 registration fee for Salt Lake Community College and is separate from fees associated with the course and its needed supplies.

DRIVER EDUCATION * Fee $140.00 per semester - If a student has not paid fees in the first 2 weeks of a semester, they must drop the driver education class. Driver Education has very specific requirements. A student must be 16 years old on or before: October 31, 2019 for summer driver education February 21, 2020 for fall semester driver education, or July 17, 2020 for spring semester driver education (Dates are estimates & will be finalized.) Please pay attention to the dates listed. The State of Utah requires all dates to be verified. Students can only take driver education during the specific times listed above. Incoming sophomores will be allowed to register for driver’s education only if they meet the following requirements: 1) A minimum of THREE (3.0) credits must be earned during the 9th grade year. 2) The minimum credits must include ONE (1) full credit in ENGLISH and ONE (1) full credit in GEOGRAPHY. 3) A state issued learning permit must be obtained at the DMV before the 1st day of class.

NOTICE: Students may take Driver Education only one semester during high school. If a student fails, the class he/she can make up the failed class only during the summer sessions if there is room. These will be the only two opportunities a student has to pass driver education in the public schools. To all prospective driver education students and parents: The passage of House Bill 363 allows for a person who is at least 15 years of age to apply for a Learner Permit at the Driver License Division (DLD). In order to apply, the applicant must: • Pass a knowledge test. • Pay a $15.00 Learner Permit fee. • Complete an application. • Pass all medical and vision screening. • Meet all identification and residency requirements. • If under 18 years old, have a parent, legal guardian or a responsible adult willing to sign for financial responsibility.

NOTE: Applicants DO NOT have to be enrolled in a driver education course to qualify for a Learner Permit. Upon successful completion of the above requirements, the Driver License Division will issue a ONE-year Learner Permit with photo. • If under 18 years old, this permit allows the student to drive with an approved driving instructor, parent or legal guardian, or the responsible adult who signed for the Learner Permit. • If under 18 years old, the applicant must hold the Learner Permit for 6 months from the issue date, be at least 16 years old and have completed an approved driver education course PRIOR to obtaining a driver license.

A student may NOT enroll in a high school driver training course that does not have a learner’s permit issued by the DLD. A student MUST have a learner permit to conduct behind-the-wheel training which is a requirement to obtaining a driver license.

Once a student has completed the Driver Education course and paid their $140 driver education course fee, the instructor will issue a completion certificate with dates of classroom, observation and behind-the-wheel training, driving skills test score and course completion date. This completion certificate may then be taken to the DLD to obtain the student’s driver license.
