DEFINITION OF TERMS

Block: An 87 - minute period of time during which students are in a class. Term: A nine-week period of time during which students can earn .5 credit in successfully completed courses. (This replaces the “quarter” terminology.) Credit: Credit is earned when a subject has been completed satisfactorily. Credits may also be referred to as units and are equal in this Gold Book.  0 .5 per 1 term class  1.0 per 2 term class  2.0 per 4 term class Level: The academic rigor of the course. *All courses are General unless noted in the course title.  G = General (open to all students)  H = Honors (open to students who plan on furthering their education)  AP = Advanced Placement (select students)  ALT = Alternative (select students) Required Courses: Specific subjects that must be successfully completed to meet graduation requirements. Elective Courses: Subjects that students may choose to take throughout their years at CHS. Prerequisite: A course that is strongly recommended in order to register for the next, more difficult course. Transcript of Credits: This includes a student’s grades and courses taken in 9th through 12th^ grade, test scores, class rank, and grade point average. Transcript Release: A form which must be signed to allow the school to send an individual’s transcript to a college, university, vocational/technical school, or employer if required. This form is available in Student Services.

ACADEMIC COURSE LOAD REQUIREMENTS

All students must register for eight (8) credits of class for the coming school year.

COURSE SELECTION

It is very important for students at Central to select courses wisely. When selecting your courses, please consider the following:

1. Graduation requirements.
2. Your life and career goals.
3. The things you enjoy learning. SELECT CAREFULLY!

CREDIT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL ALGEBRA 1

Any student who successfully completes Algebra 1, and who passes the end-of-course exam with at least 80%, will be given high school credit. This grade will be recorded on his/her transcript, included in their GPA, and counted toward the 25 credits required to graduate from CHS.

SCHEDULE CHANGES AND DROPPING COURSES

Students have the first THREE days of each term to add and drop classes. One-credit courses may be dropped (with parental, teacher and administrative approval) at the end of the first of the two terms. Depending on the class, one half credit may be awarded if a passing grade is earned for the first term.

INCOMPLETES

Grades of “I” (incomplete) will be assigned for unfinished course work. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with the teacher to have the incomplete explained and a deadline set for the completion of the unfinished work. Failure to complete the work by the deadline will result in an “F”, and no credit will be issued.

PROGRESS REPORTS

Teachers are required to notify parents at mid-term if students are in danger of failing a course. This written progress report is a warning to improve immediately. Normally a counselor will also be notified, and he or she may schedule a conference with the student.

REPORT CARDS AND PARENT-TEACHER

CONFERENCES

Report cards are issued to your student at the end of each grading period and are also viewable on Parent Portal. 4th term report cards will be mailed. If you have a problem with your report card, contact your instructor. Report cards may be held due to fines, unserved detentions, etc. Parent-Teacher Conferences will be scheduled four times a year in the middle of each term.

HONOR ROLL AND MERIT ROLL

Students with a term grade point average (GPA) of 3. or higher are recognized on the Honor Roll at the end of each grading period. Students with a GPA of 3.250 to 3.749 are recognized on the Merit Roll.

PARENT PORTAL

Parent Portal is a communication tool between school and home. This is a valuable resource to keep current on your student’s progress. Teachers update their site on a weekly basis although some courses are not graded until the completion of a specific project. Please be aware that your student’s final grade could differ from the Parent Portal information due to unexcused tardies or absences. For more information on Parent Portal, contact Janet Simon at the Aberdeen School District, 725-7133, or log on to the District website at www.aberdeen.k12.sd.us

GRADING SCALE

CHS operates on the A, B, C, D, and F grading system with “plus” and “minus” marks. Other grades you may receive are: NC (no credit), I (incomplete), W (withdrawal) and EX (medical waiver for PE). The following grading scale will be used by all teachers, and in all subjects. 100% = A+ 99 - 95% = A 94 - 93 = A- 92 - 91 = B+ 90 - 86 = B 85 - 84 = B- 83 - 82 = C+

81 - 77 = C

76 - 75 = C-

74 - 73 = D+

72 - 69 = D

68 - 68 = D-

0 - 66 = F

WEIGHTED GRADES

Each course at CHS is designated as:  G = General (open to all students)  H = Honors (open to students who plan on furthering their education)  AP = Advanced Placement (select students)  ALT = Alternative (select students)  Exceptions to these are noted in course descriptions. Grade points (used in determining your GPA) are assigned based on the chart below that shows the different weights for the different course levels. G H AP ALT A+ = 4.00 4.50 5.00 3. A = 4.00 4.50 5.00 3. A- = 3.67 4.17 4.67 3. B+ = 3.33 3.83 4.33 2. B = 3.00 3.50 4.00 2. B- = 2.67 3.17 3.67 2. C+ = 2.33 2.83 3.33 1. C = 2.00 2.50 3.00 1. C- = 1.67 2.17 2.67 1.

PROSTART

ProStart is the premier culinary arts program for high school students. By taking classes, working in the food service industry, and passing the national tests, students can earn the National ProStart Certificate of Achievement (COA). Earning a COA can give students a leg up on job searches and opens the door to collegiate opportunities. Numerous restaurant, foodservice, and hospitality programs offer benefits to ProStart graduates. These benefits include scholarships, class credits, and credits toward work experience requirements.

PROJECT LEAD THE WAY

Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is the leading provider of rigorous, relevant and innovative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education curricular programs in middle schools and high schools across the U.S. Through a hands-on curriculum, PLTW encourages the development of problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creative and innovative reasoning, and a love of learning. Students are exposed to STEM careers through professionals from local industries who supplement the curriculum through mentorships and workplace experiences. Post-secondary institutions recognize PLTW students in a variety of ways:  Scholarships: o PLTW students often show increased performance and persistence versus their non-PLTW peers. As a result, many colleges and universities award or encourage students to apply for scholarships for PLTW students to attend their institution.  College Credit:

o PLTW classes are nationally

standardized, project-based courses that prepare students for college-level work and culminate with a student assessment, which colleges and universities can use to determine if a student earns college credit. Some of the ways in which post-secondary institutions recognize PLTW students include: course substitution credit, advanced standing credit, partial course credit, bridge courses, and test-out or challenge exams.

NEW South Dakota High School Graduation Requirements The new graduation requirements are structured in a similar way to college majors. All students pursue the same diploma but in addition to meeting the high school diploma course requirements, students may also earn advanced endorsements. These advanced endorsements are similar to college majors, signaling the coursework they have taken has a specific focus. Using that same idea, a student might have one major, or a double major or even a triple major! Let’s take a look at what the new high school graduation requirements might look like for Central High School students. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL MINIMUM GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
