An Expectation of Excellence

Dear Students  and Parents:

We are excited  about the menu of course options that will be available  at Southview for the 2018-2019 school year. If this is your first time reading the program  of studies,  then I encourage you to take note of its organization. At the front of the book, you will find valuable  information about important topics such as graduation, athletic  eligibility, and honor roll, as well as pages devoted to typical course loads for students interested in various  career pathways.  The back half of the book consists  of descriptions of both required  and elective  courses  organized  by grade level and department. The descriptions outline expectations,
pre-requisites, and fees associated with particular courses.  If you are familiar  with the layout of the program
of studies, I want to draw your attention  to a few new course offerings.  Art Appreciation will replace Art for Millennials in the fine arts department. Engineering Technology will be modified  to include  courses  on Plan Reading and Welding Technology. AP Research will be offered  as a continuation of the AP Seminar course, which began in 2017-2018. Continuing the trend of offering  an honors option for courses,  Anatomy and Physiology will now be available  for honors credit. Finally, for the first time in years, Southview  will be offering  a Test Preparation course designed  to improve  student readiness  for the OST, PSAT,  ACT, SAT, and AP tests.

Students  will have three options  for earning college  credit before leaving  Southview. In our continuing efforts as an elite college preparatory high school, we will be offering  20 different  AP classes this upcoming school year. If you are interested in a four-year  college  or university after graduation, we encourage you to explore  the option of taking at least one AP course while you are here. Secondly, dual enrollment options  are available  for a wide variety of career tech programs  and a small number  of academic courses.  These courses allow you to take a course at Southview while simultaneously earning college  credit. Finally, the College Credit Plus program  allows students to take college courses while they are still in high school.

Students,  as you become engrossed in the process  of course selection, we hope the program  of studies will help to answer some of your questions and to serve as a starting  point for exploring your interests.  You should not hesitate  to contact your counselor or a principal  if you have any questions.   Please discuss possible  options with your parents and other adults in your life. We want you to enjoy a rich high school experience that will prepare you to meet the goals you have for the rest of your life after graduation.

Sincerely,

Kasey Vens, Principal

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. Grac!Point) 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 A student who receives two "F's" in a semester  will fail the semester regardless  of the final average. ADNA (Did
Not Attempt) is considered a 00/o "F."
B.   Senior Exam Policy:  All seniors must take semester and final examinations.  See the Student Handbook  for any exemptions.
C.  New students attending Sylvania high schools less than nine weeks of a semester  will not be required to take semester examinations.

OPEN ENROLLMENT POLICY

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 7:30am-4:00pm, Monday- Friday.

COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS

lege transcripts.

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:

1. A letter grade for the first and second nine-week periods.
2. A letter grade for the exam.

Each reporting period is 40% of the semester average while the exam equals 20%. The final percentage determines 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	2"d 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.

SCHEDULING PROCEDURES

1. 	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.
2.	Students should discuss course selections  for the following year with their parents.
3. 	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.
4.	The recommended  course load is six (6) periods of course work per semester for seniors and seven (7) periods for
underclassmen.
5. 		Juniors and seniors may request an AM or PM flexible schedule.  AnAM 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.).
6. 	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. AnAM flexible schedule will allow for a delayed start­
ing time. APM 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 follmving contract (located on the student registration  sheet) will need to be signed hy the student and parent in order for a flexible schedule to be enacted.

1.    I 1.mderstand that the student is responsible  for meeting all Sylvania course requirements for graduation as well as Ohio State G-raduation Pathv.'ays requiremenL<-;. A flexible schedule may be cancelled in order to meet these requirements.
2.	I 1.mderstand 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).
3. 	If the student participates in extra-curricular activities,  he or she must maintain athletic eligibility. All athletes must pass a minimum of Jive full credit cotrrses per quarter according to OHSAJ\Bylaws.

7.	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 sched­ ule. 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 prefer­ ence changes \Yill  be made  after the start of school.  Space availability  \vill be a major factor in honoring your request.

WORLD LANGUAGES
Department  Recommendations and Notes
1. Because success in the third and fourth levels of aworld language depends so heavily on what was learned the previous years, those with a C average or less should  continue  only with  the permission  of the teacher.
2. Fifth year students will follow an Advanced Placement course that will
cover all aspects of the language. Grades for these studentswill beweighted.
3. In many levels of French,  Spanish  and German, the chosen textbook  is supplernented by student-purchasedworkbooksand/or Scholastic Magazine. Technologyprovides opportunities to hear the language from native speakers.
4. Since world  language is an elective, students are not permitted to enroll in one level of a language  more than twice.
