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

Special  Information

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.

PAGE 14	PAGE 15

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.  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."
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
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:

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	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.

COLLEGE TECH PREP PROGRAM OFFERINGS

Two Year Tech Prep Programs (11 & 12)

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 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.

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.

Some Career Tech Education programs can be taken for Honors credit.  See your counselor for details.

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:
1.	Completion of the career tech application process.
2.	Class status-Juniors will be given priority in the first year of a two year program.

Cosmetology
Visual Communication Design Business Technology Construction Technology

Education and Training
Financial Management Interactive Media Computer Programming

Engineering
Medical Technology
Horticulture

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.

PAGE 18	PAGE 19

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

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. 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.).
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. 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.

PAGE 36	PAGE 37

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.

1.	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.
2.	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).
3.	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.
4.	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.
5.	The student and/or parent are responsible for the transportation to and/or from school at times other than the

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.

A freshman schedule should include the required courses listed below plus a minimum of one elective.

violations of the code of conduct, attendance issues, or academic concerns.

1.
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 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.
2. The student has been academically misplaced.
3. There is a scheduling conflict.
4. There is a scheduling overload.

Schedule changes are official when the following conditions are met:
1. All schedule changes must go through the assigned counselor.
2. Schedules will not be changed without appropriate signatures on the change form.
3. The schedule change has been entered into the computer.
4. 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:
1. The student has sought assistance from the teacher.
2. The student has taken advantage of any available tutorial services.
3. 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. Stu- dents are expected to complete all  year-long classes; however, a semester's credit will be given to a student who has suc- cessfully 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.

WORLD LANGUAGES
Department Recommendations and Notes
1. Because success in the third and fourth levels of a world 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 students will be weighted.
3. In many levels of French, Spanish and German, the chosen textbook is supplemented by student-purchased workbooks and/or Scholastic Magazine. Technology provides 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.
