Dear Parents and Students: This Jeffersonville High School Course Description Guide is an extremely valuable tool for assisting students with appropriate course selections for the 2016-2017 school year. It is important that you are aware of the requirements a student must have for graduation from Jeffersonville High School. Every student must earn a Core 40 diploma and pass the required State Graduation Exams. We encourage students to earn a Technical Honors or the Academic Honors Diploma with their Core 40 diploma. These students must be sure to take the correct courses for those diplomas and make certain the courses are selected in the appropriate sequence. Our guidance staff will work with all students to ensure proper course selections. Students should select courses that are of interest and meet their educational goals. It is important to select courses carefully because schedule changes will be held to an absolute minimum once the school’s master schedule is finalized. We encourage parents and students to work together in choosing their career pathway and to discuss aspirations and goals. Collaboration among parents, students, teachers, and counselors will help provide the support students need in their journey to reach personal potential. We look forward to working with you during this important time. Sincerely, Jeffersonville High School Administration ADMINISTRATION JULIE STRAIGHT, PRINCIPAL MARIANE FISHER, ASST PRINCIPAL TIM LAGRANGE, ASST. PRINCIPAL CHARLES MARSHALL, ASST.

GCCS COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS INITIATIVE Greater Clark County Schools, college and career readiness began with our strategic plan that was developed by a committee of over seventy (70) stakeholders. Inside the Student Achievement and Instruction area, stakeholders identified college and career readiness as a goal: “By 2018, Greater Clark County Schools’ graduation rate will meet or exceed the state goal and ensure all graduates are accepted to post-secondary education or employment opportunities.” This initiative has helped to connect students to a variety of post- secondary opportunities. Our graduation rate in Greater Clark Schools in the 2014-2015 school year was 94 percent.

The College and Career Initiative began with awareness and a vision, but required the need for an established action plan that all stakeholders can support. The action plan includes the following types of partnerships: • Pathway-specific Job Shadow: A student spends two to four hours, on a one-time basis, with an employee or series of employees, observing the various aspects of their job. The intent is for students to see what the job really involves as well as to observe how their schoolwork applies. • Student Out-of-School Internship: An unpaid, supervised work-based learning experience which links an 11th or 12th grade student with an employer for a planned set of activities often designed to give the student a broad overview of a business or occupational career pathway. (May be short-term: 18 weeks) • Interdisciplinary Cooperative Education Student (ICE - Co-op Work Experience): A school-supervised and structured 15 hour/week paid work experience during their 12th grade year arranged by the school and the employer to lead to an occupational goal. This experience is for the entire school year and includes a training agreement and a training plan, which couples the classroom learning with the workplace experience. • Field Trips and Worksite Tours: Students visit the workplace as a group to see the business operations in action and tie this to their career pathway. • Classroom/Career Fair Presentation: Present to a class about your job, its requirements or educational level, employer expectations, or tie directly into that classroom curriculum. • Mentorship: A mentor is described as a trusted and experienced advisor who has personal and direct interest in the development and/or education of younger and less experienced individuals. Mentorships are usually formed as the result of a job shadow or an out-of-school internship. Internal to Greater Clark, several components of our College and Career Readiness Initiative have already been implemented. First of all, we used a committee of administrators and counselors to determine four career pathways based upon labor market research. The group primarily used the Indiana Department of Workforce Development’s “Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs” to determine the pathways. In Greater Clark, those pathways are: 1. Business, Information Technology and Logistics 2. Health Care and Related Sciences 3. Human Services, Education, Law and the Arts 4. Engineering, Manufacturing, Technology and Skilled Trades Students selected their career pathway. This determination was made through mandatory careers’ classes for 6th and 9th graders and through large group presentations to 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th grade students. It is important all students have a career pathway focus. This focus can change at any time, but it is critical all students have a career pathway focus that helps to make their education more relevant. The full-scale implementation of a College and Career Readiness Initiative will take several years. But the effort is worth it in terms of increasing relevancy, maintaining rigor of content, and establishing essential relationships with community partners. The ultimate goal is for students to be connected to area employers while in high school for the purpose of assuring they develop the knowledge and skills necessary to have successful careers. Again, this effort focuses on all career possibilities that will encompass all forms of post-secondary opportunities. The key is to match a student’s interest

and skills to a career and the type of post-secondary education required to be qualified to pursue that career. Through the College and Career Readiness Initiative, GCCS has begun full implementation of Career Development Centers in each of our three high schools: Jeffersonville, Charlestown, and New Washington. The centers are staffed by a certified coordinator who will, among other responsibilities, coordinate internships for juniors and seniors with area organizations. Internships are an important component in exposing students to potential career opportunities and are vital in helping student’s verify just how committed they are to their chosen career pathway. A fully integrated College and Career Readiness Initiative encompasses all aspects of our educational process ranging from standards integration, literacy and mathematical skill enhancement, computer technology integration, and student 21st century skill acquisition. Full implementation takes time and patience; however, making a commitment to the initiative will pay dividends for students, parents, and all community stakeholders.

GCCS P-R-I-D-E PROGRAM

Greater Clark County Schools is developing and implementing a program of systems which promotes positive behavior as well as an intervention system to aid and assist students in developing those positive behaviors. Positive Behaviors are taught and recognized through school PRIDE. Pride is an acronym to help students demonstrate:

Persistence Respectfulness Initiative Dependability Efficiency Students, who display these characteristics show improvement in academics, create a safe environment and provide a space worthy of learning. Students are rewarded with a token economy and earn their rewards. Our students are then provided with opportunities to redeem or spend those earnings for school supplies and privileges. The second portion of the process is identifying students and creating interventions for these students to develop PRIDE through lessons, check-in/check-outs, one-on-one time, buddy systems, and constant reinforcement for appropriate and positive behaviors. Students who have interventions and individual student plans are rewarded using the same token system as all other students. The PRIDE program is evidence-based and driven by the need of the students. Data identifies areas of improvement for the buildings as well as individual areas of improvement for our students. It is a cycle that provides feedback and allows for constant improvements. Our communities and businesses are joining the program by committing resources and identifying the characteristics needed to keep our communities family friendly and to develop and grow our industry. We thank our partners, parents, students and staff for making this program successful in Greater Clark County School.

WORK ETHIC CERTIFICATE The mission of Greater Clark County Schools’ College & Career Readiness (CCR) initiative, developed by the College and Career Advisory: “By 2018, Greater Clark County Schools’ graduation rate will meet or exceed the state goal and ensure all graduates are accepted to post-secondary education or employment opportunities.” One aspect of the College and Career Readiness initiative is the Work Ethic Certification program. With the help of our College and Career Advisory, Greater Clark has developed a Work Ethic Certificate that will provide confirmation of a student’s soft skills (responsibility, punctuality, teamwork, etc.) to post-secondary educational institutions and employers. During each school year, high school seniors elected to participate in the Work Ethic Certification program. As a participant, students will be measured in nine areas of academic and work ethic competency. Students must meet criteria and gain points within each area to earn the certification. The district’s P.R.I.D.E. initiative will require students to meet various requirements. PRIDE stands for: Persistence – persevere through challenges, problem solve; Respectfulness – access and serve others, possess a positive attitude, communicate clearly; Initiative – ability to self start and to think critically, Dependability – academically ready, reliable, demonstrate responsibility and teamwork, Efficiency – organized, punctual, self -managed. Visit Greater Clark County Schools’ website at www.gcs.k12.in.us for more information about the Work Ethic Certification!

INTERNSHIPS Internships are work-based learning activities in which students engage in learning through practical and relevant experiences at various internship sites to prepare students for college and career. This strategy builds students’ skills and knowledge in their chosen career path or furthers their study within the area of interest. Internships are targeted to the students’ meaningful future plans and allow students to explore careers that require additional degrees, certification, or on-the-job training following high school. Model internships are planned, structured, and evaluated by the intern, college and career coordinator, workplace mentor, and parents/guardians. Effective internships provide interns with the opportunities to develop an understanding of the career area duties and responsibilities, terminology, climate, protocol, and other information that will enable interns to analyze and revise their meaningful future plans.

PROJECT LEAD THE WAY PLTW PATHWAY TO ENGINEERING Project Lead The Way (PLTW) offers a dynamic high school program that provides students with real-world learning and hands-on experience. Students interested in engineering, biomechanics, aeronautics, and other applied math and science arenas will discover that PLTW is an exciting portal into these industries. Pathway To Engineering™ courses engage high school students through a combination of activities-based, project-based, and problem-based (APPB) learning. APPB learning creates an environment for applying engineering concepts to real problems.

PLTW PATHWAY TO BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES Through activities, like dissecting a heart, students examine the processes, structures and interactions of the human body – often playing the role of biomedical professionals to solve mysteries. Think CSI meets ER. They also explore the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, working collaboratively to investigate and design innovative solutions for the health challenges of the 21st century such as fighting cancer with nanotechnology. See section 2 for course descriptions

Greater Clark County Schools Career Pathways Career pathways help students to identify their career goals and design their middle school and high school course plan to meet their career goals. GCCS has identified 4 Career Pathways. Each Pathway represents a common set of skills and knowledge, both academic and technical, necessary to pursue a career within that pathway. These skills can range from entry level to management and will include technical and professional career specialties. Counselors will be working with students to help identify courses that support their choice of pathway.

Pathway Business, Information Technology and Logistics Careers: Banker, Accountant, Insurance, Real Estate, Web Designer, Marketing, Entrepreneur, System Analyst, Database, Programmer, Computer Technician, Systems’ Engineer, Network Administrator

Healthcare and Related Services Careers: Dentists, Occupational Therapists, Surgeons, and Internists, Nurses, EMT, Home Health Aide, Cardio-Vascular Technologist, Dental Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Medical Transcriptionist, Healthcare Administrative Assistants, Healthcare Administrators, Health Services Manager

Description Business- careers incorporate planning, organizing, directing and evaluating business functions essential to efficient and productive business operations. Career opportunities in business are available in every area of the economy and require specific skills in organization, time management, customer service and communication. IT- Information technology is the use of computers and software to manage information. The IT department of a large company would be responsible for storing, protecting, processing, and transmitting and retrieving information as necessary. Logistics is one of the most important career fields in the world. Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between two points. The resources managed in logistics can include physical items, such as food or materials, as well as abstract items, such as time or information. Health Care Practitioners are technical, hands-on careers that involve intense schooling and lots of patient contact. These individuals tend to make the most money, and have letters like M.D. and D.D.S after their names. Health professionals assist healthcare professionals in day-to-day business, as well as heading up patient care. This field involves less school, but gives you a solid basis for job growth to further your career. Related Services such as Supportive and Managerial Careers offer healthcare supportive careers are those aides and assistants who work alongside their more experienced counterparts. A healthcare managerial career is best for someone who does not want to work directly with patients, but still wants to work in the healthcare system.

GRADING SCALE A = 90-100; B = 80-89; C = 70-79; D = 60-69; F = 0-59

GPA & WEIGHTED GRADES Advanced Placement and Honors courses are considered “weighted” courses. The weight is not scaled to a grade for the course but is simply added to the final grade provided the student has earned credit for the course. If a student is in a combined Honors and Advanced Placement course, the weight will be applied to the course title under which the student enrolled. Advanced Placement credit will be awarded only if the student sits for the AP test in the applicable course. Weighted factor: All Honors courses---1.0

All AP/ACP courses---2.0

Calculation: At the end of the semester, the final grade calculation will be made by the student management system.

RE-TAKING A COURSE Jeffersonville High School recognizes that there may be times when it is in the best interest of a student to retake a specific course. The guidelines for re-taking a course are as follows: • • •

Only a course with a grade below a “C” can be repeated. Additional credit for re-taking the class will not be given. Both grades will be counted when calculating the student’s grade point average.

ALTERNATIVE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CREDIT (ASPE) Greater Clark County Schools’ students may earn physical education credit through an alternative supervised program (ASPE) during the fall, winter or spring sessions. ASPE does not count toward minimum course load requirements and IHSAA eligibility. 1. ASPE has been approved only for the following activities: a. All IHSAA School Sponsored sports b. Cheerleading c. Marching Band*, Winter Guard, Dance Team, STEP Team 2. The application for ASPE is available from counselors or on the GCCS website. The application must be completed and signed by the student, parent, counselor, and coach/instructor. 3. Students may earn a maximum of TWO (2) credits for ASPE (Physical Education II) 4. Students must apply for each credit. Students will be limited to one (1) credit per sport season. Credit will be issued at the end of the semester. 5. To receive one (1) credit, the student must participate in sixty (60) hours of direct instruction and complete the entire sports season and finish the season in good standing. 6. The total sixty (60) hours and application must be completed and submitted to the guidance counselor by the due dates established at the school. 7. All students who complete the sixty (60) hours of direct instruction and complete the application process will receive an A for the physical education course and the grade will be issued by a licensed Physical Education teacher. 8. Failure to provide the proper documentation, failure to meet the indicated deadlines, or participation in an activity/sport different from what was approved will result in no credit being issued.

ALTERNATES Students must select an alternate (substitute) course for each elective. Students should exercise much care in choosing alternates since students could be scheduled into alternates if first choices cannot be scheduled without conflict.

SCHEDULE CHANGE/COURSE WITHDRAWAL POLICY A request for a student schedule change MUST occur within the first two (2) weeks of the course. After that time, any changes, other than programmatic changes, will result in the grade of F in the dropped course. Programmatic changes result when a teacher recommends that a student be moved to another level or class. In general, schedule change requests will only be granted for valid educational reasons (i.e., senior needing course for graduation, scheduled into a course for which credit has already been granted, etc.). A “Withdrawn Failure (WF)” grade will be used for any student whose program is changed by a teacher or administrator from a traditional course of study to an alternative course of study.

EARLY GRADUATION PROCEDURE It is the belief of Greater Clark County Schools that the majority of students benefit by completing eight semesters of high school. However, a student may graduate in fewer than eight semesters under the following guidelines: Students may graduate after 7 semesters if: • They are unlikely to graduate if forced to complete an 8th semester, or • They demonstrate financial need, or • They would be adversely impacted in their socio-emotional growth by the completion of an 8th semester, or • They are developmentally ready to move beyond high school, or • They have been accepted into an accredited postsecondary education institution, or • They are furthering their education through military enlistment and they have an enlistment contract that contains an education component. Students may graduate earlier than 7 semesters if: • They are unlikely to graduate if forced to complete additional semesters, or • They have been accepted into an accredited postsecondary education institution, or • They are furthering their education through military enlistment and they have an enlistment contract that contains an education component • They meet any one of the following criteria: o They receive a proficiency score on a standardized assessment of academic or subject area competence that is accepted by accredited postsecondary educational institutions, o They receive a high proficiency level score on an end-of-course assessment for a course without taking the course, o Successfully completing a similar course at an eligible institution under the postsecondary enrollment program o They receive a score of 3, 4, or 5 on an AP examination without taking the course Students requesting graduation in less than 8 semesters should do so when registering for their senior year classes. Students requesting accelerated graduation later than this will not be denied solely on the basis of the timing of request. Students may utilize the 8 transfer credit policy to assist them in meeting accelerated graduation requirements. Students graduating in less than 8 semesters will not be included in class rank when computed. Student selecting to graduate in less than 8 semesters will not be included in consideration for honor recognition based on class GPA or class rank. Official diplomas will not be awarded until the end of the school year. Students seeking accelerated graduation must petition their guidance counselor who will assist them in completing the GCCS Accelerated Graduation Application. Once the application is complete the counselor will gain approval from the principal or their designee.

The Mitch Daniels Early Graduation Scholarship There is a new scholarship for students who graduate from a publicly supported high school at least one year early, after December 31, 2010. For more information go to: http://www.in.gov/ssaci/2504.htm

INDIANA ACADEMIC/TECHNICAL HONORS DIPLOMAS The purpose of the Honors Diplomas is to encourage and reward students who pursue a rigorous course of study during the high school years. It is established as part of Indiana’s education plan for academic excellence and is available to any and all students who wish to pursue the challenge expected of them. These do not have to be honor level courses. A student must have earned a minimum of (47) credits with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better. No grade lower than a “C” (2.0) may count toward the diplomas.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – CORE 40 Core 40 classes will provide students with challenging learning experiences. These opportunities will prepare students for the demands of both work and college. Students must be successful (“C” (2.0) or better grades) in the Core 40 curriculum to be considered for admission to Indiana’s four-year colleges. The completion of Core 40 is an Indiana graduation requirement. To graduate with less than Core 40, the following formal opt-out process must be completed: • • • •

The student, the student’s parent or guardian, and the student’s counselor (or another staff member who assists students in course selection) meet to discuss the student’s progress. The student’s career and course plan is reviewed. The student’s parent or guardian determines if the student will achieve greater educational benefits by completing the general curriculum or the Core 40 curriculum. If the decision is made to opt-out of Core 40, the student is required to complete the course and credit requirements for a general diploma and the career-academic sequence found in this guide.

The opt-out process involves a conference between the student’s parent or guardian and the student’s counselor (or another staff member who assists students in course selection). The opt-out process is initiated: • • •

Upon the request of a student’s parent/guardian; If the student does not pass at least three (3) courses required under the Core 40 curriculum; student’s progress; or If a student received a score on the graduation examination that is in the twenty-fifth percentile or lower when the student takes the graduation examination for the first time.

A decision with regard to whether a student who is a child with a disability (as defined in IC 20-35-1-2) is subject to the Core 40 graduation requirement shall be made in accordance with the student’s individualized education program and federal law.
