Dear Students and Parents,

We are very excited about the 2018-2019 Sylvania Northview Program of Studies, as we are introducing several new courses:  Next year, Northview will be offering an exciting new program for current and incoming freshmen focused on promoting global competency and an enhanced worldview. Students who participate in the Global Studies Diploma program will experience a set of educational and community activities and experiences that will challenge students to explore and engage with other cultures. The goals of this program are to help students develop cultural awareness, empathy and advocacy and to prepare students with the 21st century skills needed for success in the globalized world. The Global Studies Diploma program consists of four concentrations: Celebrate Culture, Deeper Investigation through Globally Significant Research, Communicate Effectively, and Action. Each concentration should take students one year to complete. The first three badges will be completed independently by the student through coursework and community experiences with the help of the program advisor. The Action badge will require students to complete a capstone project or internship. Students completing the capstone project will enroll in the new Global Studies Capstone course. After completing the program, students will receive the Global Studies Diploma recognition from the World Affairs Council of Northwest Ohio.
Moreover, Northview is offering a test preparation course for sophomores and juniors in 2018-19. As the burden of test  scores continues to weigh on our students, many families pay for private tutors or other test preparation programs. We are offering a test preparation course to ensure that all students can have access to high quality support in preparing for the tests that will    determine college placement and scholarship awards. The course will build basic test-taking skills in students, but focus especially    on ACT, SAT, PSAT, OST, and AP tests. Students will also have the opportunity to sign up for Principles of Food for the 2018-19 school year.
Finally, we will be running AP Research, which is part of the AP Capstone program, for the first time next year. When students complete AP Capstone courses, and score a 3 or higher on any four additional AP courses that we already offer, they will earn an elevated AP Capstone Degree. Northview is among only 1,500 schools worldwide that have been accepted into this program. This advanced track will give students an advantage academically in that completion will mean they will be equipped with top-level collegiate academic research, thinking, writing, and communicative skills. Our mission is help our young people get ready for life’s next chapter. We believe this year’s new course additions will help us live that mission.
The Program of Studies is organized in a manner that focuses on career pathways. This format is designed to help students    better identify which courses to take, and help them decide upon their career goals. Hopefully, this format will assist you in focusing your individual goals, and ruling out what you may or may not want to do in the future.
Students, as you begin to select your classes for next year, keep in mind the individual interests that you are developing. Talk to the adults in your life about your hopes, plans, and dreams. Remember that high school, college, and post-secondary education  serve as opportunities to explore who you are as you advance on the path to your ultimate career goals. Also, please pay extra attention to the special information section, which explains adding and dropping classes, and other pertinent information.
Parents, please ask questions of Northview’s faculty and staff, and make suggestions so that we can continue to meet the individual learning style of your student. In addition, please assist your child in the course selection process to ensure that he or she   is taking classes aligned with his or her future goals.

The following counselors and administrators are available to assist you on your journey

Counselors:	Mrs. Crystal Burnworth	Mrs. Kate Henk	
	Ms. Melanie Rogers	Mrs. Stacie Wachowiak	
Assistant Principals:	Mrs. Libby McIlwain – Student Services	Mrs. Gracy Hinojosa-Lloyd – Curriculum & Instruction

AP Capstone Program
The College Board’s AP Capstone is an innovative college-level program based on two new courses - AP Seminar and AP Research - that complement and enhance discipline-specific AP courses.

The program provides students with an opportunity to engage in challenging scholarly practice of the core academic skills necessary for successful college completion. The ability to think independently, write effectively, research, collaborate, and learn across disciplines is essential for success in college, career, and beyond.

Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams of their choosing will receive the AP Capstone Diploma. This signifies their outstanding academic achievement and attainment of college- level academic and research skills. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in both AP Seminar and AP Research but not on four additional AP Exams will receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate.

AP Examinations
AP courses also prepare students to take the AP Exams. Depending upon performance on these tests and the policies of the college they attend, students can earn college credit. Students enrolled in AP classes should consider taking the AP Exam.

Students who cannot afford to pay the AP Exam fee may be eligible to receive financial help. A request for financial aid must be filed with the Assistant Principal for Teaching and Learning by October 1 of each year.
AP Grading Procedure
A weighted grading scale is in use for Honors and AP courses (Refer to grading scale, p. 16). Students who earn a grade of D at the end of the first 9 weeks in an AP course are encouraged to have a conference with the teacher, the student’s counselor, and the parent. Existing procedures for dropping or transferring from a course will be used.

Special AP Fee
Please note there is an annual fee of $10 for enrolling in any AP course. The fee is $10 each year the student enrolls in  an AP class, regardless of the number of AP courses taken that year. This fee covers the cost of access to online review materials to help students prepare for exams.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Teacher recommendations are made early in the school year, yet teachers have the opportunity to re-evaluate/change their decision as the year progresses. If the student's grade drops or a change in student performance occurs, the teacher can opt to change the recommendation. If that occurs, the student and parent will be notified by the child's counselor. If a parent/student disputes the change, he or she must contact the counselor to resolve the conflict.

ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility shall be determined on a quarter by quarter basis. The required 1.5 grade point average shall be cumulative of all courses taken the previous quarter. Student participants in athletics must meet OHSAA standards which is equivalent to 5 units of credit the previous quarter and the Sylvania policy standard which is the 1.5 grade point average the previ- ous quarter.

No player may transfer from one sport to another after the first scheduled contest. If a player quits, or is removed from a team, he/she may not join another sport or participate in any preseason conditioning, open gyms, open skates, etc., until
the season which they are no longer participating in is completed.

INCOMPLETE GRADES “I”
Students who receive an “I” for incomplete must make arrangements to make up the work within two (2) weeks of the end of the quarter or the grade will become an “F.” Exceptions to this must be approved by the principal.

HONOR ROLL
Outstanding academic achievement is recognized by the Honor Rolls, compiled and published at the end of each nine week grading period. A student must take five courses to be considered for the honor roll.
Highest Honor	4.0 or better
Honor Roll	3.5 - 3.99
Merit Roll	3.0 - 3.499

REPEATING COURSES
Required courses that are failed should be taken in summer school or through Sylvania GradPoint when possible. Failure to make up a course in the summer may ultimately delay graduation. Students must consult with their counselor to develop a credit recovery plan. Students who hire a private tutor to repeat coursework must have assistant principal of teaching and learning approval, sign a contract, and meet state guidelines. The student must take a department exam to earn course credit. The student should see a counselor BEFORE he or she considers this option. Grades from alternative learning opportunities (e.g. GradPoint) will be averaged with other grades. If any course is repeated via traditional deliv- ery method, the higher grade will be counted in the GPA. The class being repeated must be the same class as originally taken. Courses taken during the summer must be completed prior to the start of the next school year.

SEMESTER EXAMS
Semester exams are given at the end of the second and fourth grading periods. Please review the following guidelines:
A student who receives two “F's” in a semester will fail the semester regardless of the final average. A DNA (Did Not Attempt) is considered a 0% "F."
Senior Exam Policy: All seniors must take semester and final examinations. See the Student Handbook for any exemptions.
New students attending Sylvania high schools less than nine weeks of a semester will not be required to take semester examinations.

OPEN ENROLLMENT POLICY
Open enrollment for secondary schools begins the first day school is in session in November through the last school day before the Winter Break of the current year. Applications can be obtained through Student Services located on the first floor in the Administration Building between the hours of 7:30 am - 4:00 pm, Monday - Friday. Approval is contingent upon space availability in the school of your choice. A copy of the open enrollment policy will be provided with all applications.

COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS
Eligible students can take a course and earn high school and college credit that appears on both the high school and col- lege transcripts.

There is no cost for the student to participate in College Credit Plus when the student is enrolled in a public college or university. Students choosing to enroll in a participating private college or university might incur costs.

With both programs, there are several conditions that must be met. Students interested in participating in College Credit Plus must see their school counselor for full details. Prior to the deadline, a required informational meeting will be scheduled to outline the details of this program. All interested students and parents must attend.
For more information visit sylvania http://www.sylvaniaschools.org/HighSchoolCurriculumAlternatives.aspx

CREDIT FLEXIBILITY
Students will have an opportunity to earn credits through the district's Credit Flexibility Plan. Please visit the district website at http://www.sylvaniaschools.org/CreditFlex.aspx to view and download the Sylvania Credit Flex Plan.

GRADING SCALE
The grade card contains the following information each semester:
A letter grade for the first and second nine-week periods.
A letter grade for the exam.

Each reporting period is 40% of the semester average while the exam equals 20%. The final percentage de- termines the letter grade that is listed on the transcript.

The semester grade is determined by multiplying the 1st marking period grade by two as shown in the chart below. The 2nd marking period grade is also multiplied by two. Finally, the exam grade is added to the sum of both marking periods and divided by five.

Example:
1st Quarter Grade	2nd Quarter Grade	1st Semester Exam	
99/A+	91/A-	91/A-	

A+ A- A- = (99 x 2) + (91 x 2) + 91 = 471/5 = 94.2 = A
A minimum total of 298 is necessary to receive a passing grade for the semester.

CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION ADMISSIONS AND ENROLLMENT POLICY
The selection and admission process for Sylvania’s Career Technical Education programs begins in the sophomore year. Through the various career awareness activities held on both school campuses, students have an opportunity to learn about each program.

Students interested in applying for a Career Technical Education program must complete an application (available in the guidance office) that is signed by the parent/guardian and returned to the guidance counselor. Programs begin in the fall of the junior or senior year. Credits earned for parts of the total program passed each semester will be added to the student’s cumulative total. Students who fail their program will be withdrawn and rescheduled in other academic classes necessary for graduation.

Students who are entering their junior year are eligible to apply for a program if they have completed the minimum require- ments of:
2 credits English
2 credits Math
2 credits Science
1 credit physical education/health

Seniors applying are required to have additional courses plus a minimum of 12 credits.

It is expected that students in a Tech Prep program will successfully complete Algebra II by graduation.

If a student does not meet the minimum eligibility requirements, and there is space available in the program, an educational plan may be used to admit that student.

Students will be considered for admission to the Career Technical Program on the basis of scholastic record, attendance, and discipline record. Program space is limited and will be based on availability and application ranking.

Every effort will be made to place students in their proper programs based on the Career Pathways model as adopted by both Sylvania Northview and Southview. Some programs require, by law, background checks and/or medical releases for participation. See your guidance counselor for more details.

CAREER TECHNICAL OVER-ENROLLMENT POLICY
Career Technical Programs are enrolled with students who can most benefit from class. Good behavior and attendance are extremely important to the success of the student in the programs. Programs will be enrolled to capacity using the following criteria:
Completion of the career tech application process.
Class status-Juniors will be given priority in the first year of a two year program.
Seniors may enroll in the first year of a two year program if space is available. Seniors are not permitted to enroll in programs that require two year participation for licensing/industry credentialing.
Attendance-Most Career Technical programs meet more than one period per day over a two year period of time. Attendance is critical to the success of students in these programs.
Discipline history-The discipline history will be used for calculating scores on the enrollment rubrics.
The cumulative GPA will be used for the enrollment rubrics.

Every effort will be made to place students in their proper programs based on the Career Pathways model as adopted by both Sylvania Northview and Southview.

Seniors may choose to spend their senior year in the first year of a two year program, space permitting. It is not unusual that some seniors get to their final year in high school and realize that they don’t (or won’t) have any hands-on-experience in preparing for the world of work. The idea that “one year’s experience is better than no experience” has worked for some pathway areas. Seniors are not permitted to enroll in programs that require two year participation for licensing/industry credentialing.

HOME SCHOOL ENROLLMENT POLICY
All Career Technical Education programs are available to all juniors and seniors regardless of their home school. Home school designation is based on your residence and district boundaries. Enrollment in a Career Technical Education program does not change your designated home school.

TRANSFER BUS POLICY
Students who travel between high schools for their Career Technical Education program will have the opportu- nity to take the school transfer bus. This option may not be available for single period Career Technical classes.
Students who wish to drive between buildings must follow the driving/parking procedures indicated in the students’ home school handbook and complete a Permission to Drive form available from the Career Technical Office or program instructor.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Career Technical Education students are encouraged to participate in their home school’s extra-curricular activi- ties such as sports, clubs, music, etc. The student will be under the eligibility rules established by the Sylvania Board of Education and the State of Ohio.

EARLY PLACEMENT
Students who have demonstrated above average achievements and have a recommendation from their instructor may be eligible for early job placement. Students are placed in a job related to their field of technical training. Early placement will take place during the second semester as arranged by the instructor. They are graded on their work by their employer and may also be paid. The experience provides an opportunity for students to begin the transition from school to work with the encouragement and assistance of their career technical instructor.

CAREER TECHNICAL STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Career Technical Education programs offer co-curricular activities in student organizations that provide leader- ship opportunities at the local, regional, state and national levels.

Business Professionals of America- Today’s students—tomorrow’s business professionals. This national or- ganization for Business Technology, Financial Management, Interactive Media, and Computer Programming students provides the members with the opportunity for development of leadership skills, personal and profes- sional growth, social awareness, civic responsibility and an understanding of the business community. Students may compete in regional, state, and national competitions.
FFA- Students enrolled in Horticulture are eligible to participate in FFA activities. Activities at the local, district, state and national level help students develop leadership skills in fulfilling occupational, social and civic respon- sibilities. Members are eligible for local, district, state and national awards in various contests and activities.
FCCLA- Family Community & Career Leaders of America helps prepare students with salable skills, opportuni- ties to work with people in the business community and to participate in activities at district, state, and national levels. Students enrolled in Education and Training, and Family and Consumer Sciences programs are eligible for membership.
Skills/USA - Activities center on discussion and investigation of occupational opportunities, competition that displays skills learned, and efforts to better understand the citizenship responsibilities as they are unique to the individual person. Students enrolled in Construction Tech Prep, Cosmetology, Engineering Tech Prep, and Visual Communication Design may become members of Skills USA.
HOSA – Future health professionals in Medical Technology develop leadership skills through participation in this intracurricular activity.
* Note: Fees are reviewed annually for Board of Education approval.

SCHEDULING PROCEDURES
All eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh grade students must fill out registration forms for the next year even though they may plan to attend another school.
Students should discuss course selections for the following year with their parents.
The registration form must be filled out and signed by both student and parent (Recommended courses will be indicated). Course Selection will be completed online.
The recommended course load is six (6) periods of course work per semester for seniors and seven (7) periods for underclassmen.
Juniors and seniors may request an AM or PM flexible schedule. An AM flexible schedule will allow for a delayed starting time. A PM flexible schedule will allow for an early release time (Please see your counselor for the flex scheduling paperwork detailing rules and restrictions.).
The school reserves the right to limit or cancel any classes which are offered in the program of studies.
POST SECONDARY TRANSITION ACTIVITIES (FLEX SCHEDULING)
Post Secondary Transition Activities provide the opportunity to explore educational and work options outside of the tra- ditional school day. This student-centered format encourages students to explore job shadowing, internships, or early job placement through the creation of a flexible schedule.

Juniors and seniors may request an AM or PM flexible schedule. An AM flexible schedule will allow for a delayed start- ing time. A PM flexible schedule will allow for an early release time. With this flexible schedule option, the district is not responsible for transportation outside regular scheduled routes. All flexible schedule requests are contingent upon the master schedule and course requirements for graduation.

The following contract (located on the student registration sheet) will need to be signed by the student and parent in order for a flexible schedule to be enacted.

I understand that the student is responsible for meeting all Sylvania course requirements for graduation as well as Ohio State Graduation Pathways requirements. A flexible schedule may be cancelled in order to meet these requirements.
I understand that the student is responsible for knowing changes to the time schedule and attending all sched- uled classes when in session (e.g. assembly or two-hour delay).
If the student participates in extra-curricular activities, he or she must maintain athletic eligibility. All athletes must pass a minimum of five full credit courses per quarter according to OHSAA Bylaws. Students who plan to participate in collegiate-level athletics must also follow NCAA Clearinghouse regulations.
Students with a flexible schedule must enter or leave the building at the designated time period. Students are not permitted to remain at school at unauthorized times.
The student and/or parent are responsible for the transportation to and/or from school at times other than the regularly scheduled bus routes.
Sylvania Schools is not responsible for students scheduled out of the building during the flexible scheduling time.
The Sylvania administration reserves the right to revoke a student’s privilege for early release or late arrival for violations of the code of conduct, attendance issues, or academic concerns.

SCHEDULE CHANGES
Planning a schedule for the next school year is a difficult task, and situations may occur requiring a change in that schedule. Changes have a serious effect on class size, teacher assignments, and the overall master schedule. Thus, students and parents are urged NOT to plan a program with the idea that it can be changed. If a parent-approved schedule change is to be considered, you should see your counselor prior to the closing of the school year. No personal preference changes will be made after the start of school. Space availability will be a major factor in honoring your request. A student/parent may not request a specific teacher.
Only the following reasons will constitute a need for a change:
1.A technical error was made in the process of scheduling the student’s requests.
The student has been academically misplaced.
There is a scheduling conflict.
There is a scheduling overload.
Schedule changes are official when the following conditions are met:
All schedule changes must go through the assigned counselor.
Schedules will not be changed without appropriate signatures on the change form.
The schedule change has been entered into the computer.
The student has been given a new, updated copy of the schedule.

ADDING A CLASS AFTER SCHOOL BEGINS: Course additions must occur no later than five (5) school days after the beginning of a course. A course may be scheduled in place of a study hall or commons. The student's schedule will not be rearranged to accommodate an additional course.

COURSE WITHDRAWAL AFTER SCHOOL BEGINS: Students may drop a course without penalty until the end of the tenth (10th) school day of a semester or year-long course with the teacher and parent permission. The course will be replaced with a study hall. Freshmen and sophomores will not be permitted to drop the course if their course load would drop below the seven (7) recommended course load each semester. Juniors and seniors are required to maintain course loads to meet scheduled graduation requirements.

Students dropping a course after ten school days will receive an "F" for the semester unless it is dropped with written teacher recommendation. Teacher recommendation will be based on the following criteria:
The student has sought assistance from the teacher.
The student has taken advantage of any available tutorial services.
The student's work does not indicate the ability to meet minimum course requirements with conscientious effort.

Students will be assigned to a study hall (not commons) for the remainder of the semester if the course is dropped. Students are expected to complete all year-long classes; however, a semester's credit will be given to a student who has successfully passed one semester of a year-long course if the student was enrolled in the course for the entire year or special circumstances exist to warrant a drop at the end of the first semester.

FRESHMAN:Course Offerings
It is strongly recommended that students review the Career Pathways schedules and Pathway Electives online before beginning the scheduling process. Refer to the following course descriptions to finalize course selections.
