Guidelines on Class Enrollment Sizes and Offerings A course may not be offered during the upcoming school year when the number of forecasted student enrollments is insufficient to sustain the class. Class size limits are utilized to determine when a class will be offered. When forecasted class enrollment does not reach the required number of students enrolled, school counselors and administrators will work with students to create a new schedule. The new schedule will allow a student to maintain their progress toward meeting graduation requirements while pursuing their academic and elective class interests. 2

Vancouver Public Schools Secondary Academic Programs of Choice A Personalized Education

Dear student and family members,

We believe public education should meet the needs of all students, preparing them for success in college, careers, and life. That’s why we offer many choices for learning in Vancouver Public Schools. We want students to explore their interests, develop their talents, and find their passion.

STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) magnet programs are offered at Skyview High School and Vancouver iTech Preparatory. The iTech Prep program serves students in grades 6–12. The middle school is located at the Jim Parsley Education, Family and Community Center, and the high school is located in the Clark College Building at the Washington State University Vancouver campus.

At Vancouver School of Arts and Academics, students in grades 6-12 explore various forms of art, from music and dance to theatre and moving image arts. Students study core academic subjects in an integrated way, based on an annual theme.

The Center for International Studies is a school-wide magnet for students in ninth through 12th grades at Fort Vancouver High School. Students in the program study local, regional and global issues and have access to expanded language offerings.

Career and technical education (CTE) programs provide hands-on, real-world applications to learning. The Bay ACES Magnet at Hudson’s Bay High School covers architecture, construction, and environmental sciences. Fort Vancouver High School hosts Medical Arts, Culinary Arts, and Welding/Fabrication Technology magnets. Other programs include early childhood education, horticulture, and video production. Cascadia Tech Academy provides even more career choices for Vancouver students thanks to a partnership with Evergreen Public Schools.

Vancouver Flex Academy, a blended learning program, allows students to set their own schedules and complete their coursework online on school-issued personal laptops. The college-like scheduling suits independent learners and fosters time-management skills necessary for higher education.

Accelerated programs are offered at all high schools. Students can earn college credits and work toward college degrees while still in high school. We offer a College in the High School program, Running Start, and credits through Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and some CTE classes.

International Baccalaureate (IB) is a rigorous academic program. Students can earn an IB diploma, which is recognized worldwide. The high school IB program is located at Columbia River High School, and a Middle Years IB program is offered at Discovery Middle School.

Our highly dedicated teachers, support staff, and mentors are available to answer questions and guide you. We want you to have the most successful learning experience possible, and we wish you a bright future.

Sincerely,

Steven T. Webb, Ed.D. Superintendent

Students should meet with their grade level counselor to inquire about equivalency and 2-for-1 credit options. College bound students are encouraged to check with each college they may apply to in order to determine if each college will accept equivalency credited courses for college admissions. Additional equivalency credit may be granted by a building principal for some courses on a limited basis in an effort to help students meet graduation requirements.

30 Vancouver Public Schools Special Services

The goal of special education at the high school level is to prepare students for life beyond high school. There is a wide array of service options for students which is based each student’s Individual Education Program (IEP). The student’s IEP team determines appropriate accommodations and modifications that will support each student in both special and general education classes.

Each high school has Learning Support teachers who provide specially designed instruction in reading, writing, math and social/behavioral skills. These services are provided in separate classes and, in some buildings, through general education classes that are co-taught by special and general education teachers.

If the student’s IEP team determines that the student has a need for a more specialized placement, these are also available but it should be noted that not every special classroom is available in each school. If a student’s IEP calls for a special class and one is not available at the student’s home school, transportation will be provided.

Specialized class placements include Structured Learning Centers, Supported Communication Programs, Structured Communication Classrooms, Intensive Academic Classrooms and Transition Skills Classrooms. Each program has a specific focus which is discussed during the IEP process.

The district also provides transition services which are designed to teach skills that will help our students be more prepared for life after high school. Each of our comprehensive high schools has developed different work experiences for those students who would benefit from more work-based learning opportunities.

Gateway to Adult Transition Education (GATE) is our transition program for students ages 18-21 who need additional time to learn the skills that will enable them to access education, employment and living skills once they leave us.

If a student needs to extend their time in high school as they may need more time to learn the skills needed to be successful post high school, as determined by the IEP, the graduation date can be extended as a student may receive services until the age of 21.

Please contact the Special Services department if you have any questions about your or your child’s special education services. We will be happy to help.

96 VancouverSkyview PublicHigh School Schools Appendix A – College Credit in High School

Advanced Placement & International Baccalaureate (IB)

Students and parents should be aware that any courses denoted in course descriptions by an ‘AP’ (Advanced Placement) at Vancouver School for Arts and Academics, or at Skyview, Fort Vancouver, Hudson’s Bay and Lewis and Clark High Schools are courses designed to be the equivalent of college level work. This also applies to courses indicating as ‘IB’ (International Baccalaureate) at Columbia River High School. Studies have shown that students who take AP or IB classes are better prepared for college than students who have not participated. The completion of AP or IB courses receives favorable consideration by college admissions offices. Students who successfully pass an AP or IB test will receive college credit at most colleges and universities. Such testing traditionally takes place during the first two weeks of May.

Both AP and the IB Diploma programs value students doing independent research, critical thinking, and writing. These programs have attracted the attention of national and international policy makers as ways to improve the quality of education, and the rigor of high school course work. Students who enroll in these classes should expect challenging work and expectations involving regular completion of readings and assignments outside of class.

Students interested in enrolling in AP classes should consult with their school counselor. For information about applying to the International Baccalaureate program contact the International Baccalaureate Coordinator at CollegeColumbia in River the HighHigh School. School

The College in the High School Program affords students the opportunity to acquire University of Washington or Clark College credit through selected classes offered at participating high schools. Highly qualified VPS teachers, approved as instructors at the designated college or university provide instruction and work closely with college professors. This program offers students an opportunity to be connected to the Clark or UW through visits to Runningcampus, attendance Start at college lectures and programs, and participation in other important college events.

“Running Start” is another program which can lead to college credit, and it is operated in conjunction with Clark College. Students have the opportunity as juniors and seniors to take courses at both their home school and Clark College. Credits earned count toward both high school graduation and community college degree programs. Anyone interested in enrolling in classes at Clark through this program should consult the Running Start program Runningguidelines Startavailable in thefrom High the high School school counselor within the Vancouver School District.

Vancouver Public Schools partners with Central Washington University for Running Start in the High Schools, a program to earn college credit while taking classes at your high school. Students who meet eligibility requirements (junior or senior status, qualifying score on placement test) may participate, and there is no cost to students for one course per semester. Specific courses offered vary by school. See your counselor for details.

Vancouver Public Schools 97 Appendix B – What is CTE College Articulation?

What is CTE College Articulation?

CTE College Articulation programs put high school students on the pathway to earning a degree from Clark College or Clackamas Community College by allowing them to complete selected Career & Technical Education (CTE) classes while still in high school. It is a partnership between Community Colleges and participating high schools allowing students to simultaneously earn high school and college credits in courses that have been approved through a formal articulation agreement. Career Specialists at each high school work with CTE teachers to assist students in completing the registration process and Why take CTE College Articulation classes? potentially earn college credit while taking high school courses.

• Students get a “jump start” on their college education and career plans • Students save time and money by fulfilling degree requirements while still in high school. • Students are able to bypass entry-level college courses when they register at a community college. • College articulation credits are guaranteed at the college for which the articulation agreement is approved and may be used at another community college or university, dependent on their admission criteria. Or, you may enter the military at How Can I Get College Credit Now? a higher rank.

ASSESSMENTS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION

Statewide testing is important because it helps ensure all public school students, no matter where they go to school, receive a quality education. Washington students are regularly tested by the state to assess their progress as they move through elementary and middle school. In high school, students are tested on their proficiency of basic skills and content knowledge and must pass specific assessmentsClass of... toEnglish be eligible Language to graduate. Arts Mathematics Science 2016 Choose 1: Choose 1: AND

• Reading Writing HSPE • Algebra 1/EOC • Smarter Balanced ELA test (exit exam score) • Geometry/EOC 2018 (until Next Gen • Algebra 1/EOC Exit Exam 2017 and Smarter Balanced ELA test (exit exam score) ScienceBiology Standards)EOC • Geometry/EOC Exit Exam • Smarter Balanced math test (exit exam cut score) 2019 and Smarter Balanced ELA test Smarter Balanced Beyond (cut scores to be determined by State (cut scores to be determined by State High SchoolBoard Proficiency of Education) Exam (HSPE) Board of Education)

This test measures the proficiency of students in high school and serves as the state’s exit exam. Students must pass this End-of-Course Exit Exams (EOC) assessment or a state-approved alternative in reading and writing in order to be eligible to graduate.

End-of-course exit exams for Algebra and Geometry were implemented statewide in the 2011 school year to replace the Mathematics portion of the HSPE. The End-of-course assessment for Biology was implemented statewide in 2012, Smarter Balanced Tests replacing the Science portion of the HSPE.

Beginning in the 2014-15 school year, subjects included in the Common Core will be assessed using the Smarter Balanced system. Meeting standard on an 11th-grade Smarter Balanced test is a state-approved assessment alternative for ELA and math for the classes of 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Starting with the Class of 2019, meeting standard on the Smarter Balanced tests will be required for high school graduation. All Washington state high school students must show they have key reading and writing skills by graduation. Most students will meet this requirement by passing a state exam. Some students with strong skills, however, may need to use an assessment to demonstrate their skills. For these students, state-approved alternatives are available, called Certificate of AcademicWHAT ARE Achievement THE THREE (CAA) Options.CAA OPTIONS? GPA Comparison

A student’s grades in English courses and/or math courses are compared with the grades of students who took the same Advanced Placement and College Admission Test Scores courses AND passed the HSPE. This option is available to students in their 12th grade year.

Students may use their scores on the SAT reading and math reasoning tests, ACT reading and math tests, and specified Collection of Evidence (COE) Advanced Placement examinations to show they have key skills.

The COE is an evaluation of a set of work samples based on classroom work prepared by the student with instructional support from a teacher. It leads to a Certificate of Academic Achievement and is one of three alternative assessments available to Washington high school students. Students must meet eligibility criteria to access the COE.
