Typical 4-year Logan Course Sequence
Grade Point Average is calculated using student’s semester grades, as following:
A = 4.0 (Honors/AP Weighted GPA: A = 5.0) B = 3.0 (Honors/AP Weighted GPA: B = 4.0) C = 2.0 (Honors/AP Weighted GPA: C = 3.0) D = 1.0 (Honors/AP Weighted GPA: D = 1.0) F = 0.0
Logan transcripts list four types of GPAs used for different purposes:
Overall GPA:calculated using grades earned in all courses from grade 9 to 12. It is not weighted. This GPA is used to determine eligibility for graduation and athletic eligibility.
Weighted GPA: calculated using grades earned in all courses
from grade 9 to 12, with extra grade points given for honors
and AP courses. This GPA is used to calculate honor rolls. UC / CSU A-G Weighted GPA: calculated using grades in only
“a - g” courses during grades 10 to 12. This GPA is used to determine college eligibility, and graduation honors at JLHS. It is often called “college GPA.”
State GPA: calculated using grades earned in all courses from
grade 10 to 12, except PE and non academic courses (such as Teacher Assistant). It is not weighted. This GPA is used to determine eligibility for Cal grants.
The course sequence below depicts a typical student. It is based on a student taking six courses each semester. Note that this is NOT the required sequences of courses at Logan. Many students elect to take additional/different courses depending on career/college aspirations.

CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam)
California public school students are required by state law to pass the California High School Exit Examination, as well as satisfy all other state and local requirements, in order to re-ceive a high school diploma. The CAHSEE is comprised of two sections - English Language Arts and Math (ELA and Math section tests are given on separate days).
All students, including English Language Learners and stu-dents with disabilities, must first take the CAHSEE in the grade ten. Students who do not pass the exam in grade 10
will have additional opportunities in grades 11 and 12 to retake the part(s) not passed. It is important to remember
that a student must satisfy all graduation requirements and pass the California High School Exit Exam in order to receive a diploma. (Students with IEPs may receive exemptions.)
Students in Grade 10 will take the CAHSEE once during the spring of 2013-14. Students in Grade 11 who have not yet passed CAHSEE will 3 opportunities to take the test, and students in grade 12 will have up to 5 opportunities to take the test.
Testing dates are listed below. (Please note that tests listed below may not all be administered at Logan.)

College Entrance Requirements
The University of California’s freshmen admission requirements represent a good measure of admission requirements for most colleges and universities. The “a - g” requirements created by the UC system indicate that a student must complete the high school courses listed below. Students must take 15 units of high school courses to fulfill the Subject Requirement - seven units of which must be taken in the last two years of high school. (A unit is equal to an academic year or two semesters of study.) Note that some colleges and universities, especially private and out-of-state, may have different entrance requirements.
(a): History/Social Science
2 years required - Two years of history/social science
includ-ing one year of world history, cultures, and geography; and or one year U.S. history or one half year U.S. history and one half year of civics or American government.
(b): English
4 years required - Four years of college preparatory English
that include the reading of classic and modern literature and frequent and regular writing. No more than one year of ELD-type courses can be used to meet this requirement.
(c): Mathematics
3 years required, 4 years recommended - Three years of
col-lege-prep math that include the topics covered in elementary and advanced algebra and two and three-dimensional geom-etry. Approved integrated math courses may be used to fulfill this requirement, as may math courses taken in the 7th / 8th grade that Logan accepts as equivalent courses. (Note:
be-ginning with the class entering in Fall Quarter 2015, these 3 years of mathematics must include one year-long course in geometry.)
(d): Laboratory Science
2 years required, 3 years recommended - Fundamental
knowledge in at least two foundational subjects: biology, chemistry, and physics. Advanced laboratory science courses that have biology, chemistry, or physics as prerequisites and
offer substantial new material may be used to fulfill this re-quirement. The last two years of an approved three-year in-tegrated science program that provides rigorous coverage of at least two of the three foundational subjects may be used to fulfill this requirement.
(e): Language other than English
2 years required, 3 years recommended - Two years of the
same language other than English. Courses should empha-size speaking and understanding and include instruction in grammar, vocabulary, reading, composition, and culture. Courses in languages other English taken in 7th/8th grade may be used to fulfill part of this requirement if Logan accepts them as equivalent courses.
(f): Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA)
1 year required - A single year-long approved arts course
from a single VPA discipline: dance, drama/theater, music, or visual art.
(g): College Preparatory Electives
1 year required - One year (two semesters), in addition to
those required in "a-f" above, chosen from the following: visual and performing arts (non-introductory-level courses), history, social science, English, advanced mathematics, labor-atory science, and a language other than English (a third year in the language used for the "e" requirement or two years of another language).
The chart below compares Logan’s graduation requirements to entrance requirements at most colleges and universities.

UC Requirements
See details: admission.universityofcalifornia.edu
Grade Point Average
If a student's UC/CSU A-G Weighted GPA is 3.5 or higher, the student has met the minimum requirement for admission to the University. If a student's GPA is below 3.5 and above 2.77, the student must achieve the necessary college en-trance test score indicated in the Eligibility Index on the next page to meet the minimum admission requirement. The University calculates the "a - g" GPA
by assigning point values to the grades students earn, totaling the points, and dividing the total by the number of "A-G" course units. Points are as-signed as follows: A=4 points, B=3 points, C=2 points, D=1 point, and F=0 points. Only the grades students earn in
the "A-G" subjects taken in grades 10 and 11 are used to cal-culate the GPA.
The University assigns extra points for up to four units of certified honors level and advanced placement courses tak-en in the last three years of high school: A = 5 points, B = 4 points, and C = 3 points. Grades of D earned in honors courses are not assigned extra points. No more than two units of certified honors level courses taken in grade 10 are assigned extra points.
Grade 9 courses will not be included in the GPA calculation,
however grade 9 courses can be used to meet the Subject Requirement if the student earns a grade of C or better.
Examination Requirement
The UC System allows students to submit either their SAT Reasoning Test ® scores of their ACT Plus Writing ® scores. Students must take their entrance exams by December of their Senior year - preferably earlier. For more information, visit the websites below:
ACT: www.actstudent.org SAT: sat.collegeboard.org
Eligibility in Local Context (ELC)
Students who rank in the top 9% of their graduating class based on their UC/CSU Weighted GPA (GPA of 3.0+ and com-pletion of at least 11 “a – g” courses prior to starting their senior year) are eligible for admission to the UC through the ELC program - a partnership set up between the UC System and California high schools. This early evaluation and admis-sion occurs during the summer leading to the students’ sen-ior year. To remain eligible, students must fulfill all general admission requirements.
Logan students who are identified for this program have their transcripts evaluated over summer after their junior year. They are then notified in August and September of their sen-ior year in order to meet the November application dead-lines. For more information, please see your counselor.
Cal State Requirements
See details: www.csumentor.edu
The California State University (CSU) system represents 23 campuses across the state. Admission offices consider 3 main factors in determining eligibility:
1. Graduation from high school. 2. Completion/grades in “a - g” courses 3. Scores on SAT / ACT exams.
Because of the number of students who apply, several cam-puses have higher standards (supplementary admission crite-ria) for all applicants, or for particular majors. Many CSU cam-puses utilize local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and community colleges that are historically served by a
CSU campus in that region. For more details, please see a counselor or visit
the CSU Mentor website. Students are encouraged to create an account on the CSU Mentor website - it offers free help on the CSU system, information on campuses and financial aide.
Grade Point Average
The CSU uses a calculation called an eligibility index (see next page for complete chart) that combines student’s high school GPA with the score earned on either the SAT or ACT tests. It is useful to take either an SAT or ACT test as the score may also indicate if a student does not need to take English and math placement tests after being admitted and before enrolling at the CSU.
High School Courses
Students applying for CSU are required to complete the “a - g” course sequence. The CSU requires a minimum 15-unit pattern of courses for admission as a first-time freshman. Each unit is equal to a year of study in a subject area. A grade of C or better is required for each course used to meet any subject requirement.

Student Athletes & NCAA Requirements
See details: www.eligibilitycenter.org
The NCAA
Student-athletes must register with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Eligibility Center to be eligible to play NCAA Division I or II sports in college. Athletes playing in Division III do not have to register.
NCAA Eligibility Center
The NCAA Eligibility Center certifies whether prospective col-lege athletes are eligible to play sports at NCAA Division I or II institutions. It does this by reviewing the student-athlete's academic record, SAT or ACT scores, and amateur status to ensure conformity with NCAA rules.
NCAA Divisions I, II, and III
The NCAA is the governing body of many intercollegiate sports. Each college regulated by the NCAA has established rules on eligibility, recruiting and financial aid, and falls into one of the three membership divisions (Divisions I, II and III). Divisions are based on college size and the scope of their athletic programs and scholarships.
Registration with NCAA
The NCAA recommends that student-athletes register at the beginning of their junior year in high school, but many stu-dents register after their junior year. There is no registration deadline, but students must be cleared by the Eligibility Cen-ter before they receive athletic scholarships or compete at a Division I or II institution.
Students must register online at the NCAA Eligibility Center. They will have to enter personal information, answer ques-tions about their course work and sports participation out-side of high school and pay a registration fee.
Students who have received a waiver for the SAT or ACT are eligible for a waiver of the registration fee. The student's counselor must submit confirmation of the student's test fee waiver.
Records Required by the Eligibility Center
Students should arrange to have their high school send in a transcript as soon as they have completed at least six semes-ters of high school. The transcript must be mailed directly from the high school. Students must also arrange to have their SAT or ACT test scores reported directly by the testing company to the Eligibility Center. Students can arrange this when they register for the tests. Students are responsible
for sending in students' final transcripts and proof of gradu-ation at the end of their senior year.
NOTE: more students fail to qualify to play NCAA sports
be-cause of lack of appropriate course work than for low test scores. It is very important to complete the approved core courses and earn appropriate grades in them.
Coursework Requirements
To play sports at an NCAA Division I or II institution, the stu-dent must:
Complete a certain number of high school core courses (defined below).
Earn a certain minimum grade point average in these core courses.
Earn a certain minimum score on the SAT or ACT. Graduate from high school.
Below is an overview of the basic NCAA eligibility criteria. Students are encouraged to visit the NCAA Eligibility Center website for detailed information.
Students must earn a minimum required GPA in core courses and a combined SAT or ACT sum score that matches this GPA on a sliding scale, which can be found on the NCAA Eligibility Center website.
Remedial courses, or those taught at a slower pace or that cover less content are not admissible. And not all classes that meet high school graduation requirements meet NCAA course work requirements.
Meeting NCAA admission requirements does not guarantee admission into college - it simply determines whether
stu-dents may participate in athletics during their freshman year. Students must follow each member college's admission poli-cies and apply directly to that college.

Get college-ready academic skills and knowledge
Honors preparation and advanced level course work in English, Math and Science.
Course Sequence designed to meet the college entrance REC-OMMENDATIONS— not just the requirements (A-G Require-ments).
Grade-level teaching teams that have established and aligned teaching methods; skills are taught in the same way in each class.
ICL teachers are trained in nationally recognized professional development programs—Reading Apprenticeship, Facing Histo-ry, and College Board AP Seminars.
Support
Have all the resources you’ll have to rise to that challenge Block Scheduling. Classes are taught in two-hour blocks so that
teachers have time to work with and provide feedback to stu-dents individually and in small groups each day.
Advisory. Each student has a teacher who acts as their advisor
while in the program. Bi-monthly advisory classes provide op-portunities for self-assessment, goal-setting and learning about college entrance requirements.
MARS. Mandatory Academic Review Sessions are after school
tutoring sessions and homework sessions for students who need help finishing their homework. It is mandatory if you are not completing homework.
Note that ICL has a prescribed course sequence that allows for very few substitutions. Athletes and Forensics team members ARE ABLE TO ENROLL IN ICL. However, if you are a part of other programs at Logan that requires you to take a class during the school day, you will not be able to enroll in ICL - your other classes just won't fit. For example programs such as Band, Choir, Color Guard, Special Day Classes, ELL, Puente all require students to take certain classes in the school day that do not fit into ICL's block schedul-ing. However, after school programs such as Upward Bound work perfectly.
Grades 9, 10, 11, 12
Prerequisite: Application in grade 8
PUENTE's mission is to increase the number of educationally underrepresented students who enroll in four-year col-leges and universities, earn degrees, and return to their com-munities as leaders and mentors to future generations.
The program supports students by :
Providing academically rigorous 9th and 10th grade college preparatory English classes that incorporate Mexican-American/Latino and other multicultural literature, taught at both grade levels by the same PUENTE-trained teacher.
Students work closely with a PUENTE coun-selor to prepare and adhere to an academic plan focused on college readiness.
Students also take part in structured leader-ship activities that allow them to experience the value of life-long community service firsthand.
Students enroll in a semester-long seminar course in their 11th and 12th grade. PUENTE is open to all students. The application and interview process takes place in the third quarter of 8th grade year. Students are identified for the program by the end of the year. Selected students represent a range of effort and perfor-mance levels and are usually the first in their family to attend college.
Parents are expected to attend meetings, orien-tations, and workshops provided by PUENTE. They must also continuously monitor student progress and achievement to gain acceptance into four-year colleges and universities. Parents are also asked to volunteer as chaperones or to assist with fundraising.
PUENTE students are expected to maintain good academic standing to remain in the program.

Virtual Enterprise / Marketing And Management (M&M) Academy provides appropriate academic support to encour-age and prepare students for the corporate and business community, by offering academic courses (language arts, history/economics, technology, mathematics) that integrate business topics related to marketing and management. Stu-dents operate several real and virtual enterprises on campus while learning and improving their skills in the areas of sales, management, finance, accounting, office management, en-trepreneurship and computer technology. It also provides opportunities for M&M Academy students to participate in trade show and business competitions at the local, state, national and international levels.
A Virtual Enterprise is a simulated business that is set up and run by students to prepare them for working in a real busi-ness environment. The program allows students to experi-ence all facets of being an employee in an actual business. Students are involved in every aspect of running a business, including human resources, accounting, product develop-ment, production, distribution, marketing and sales, and
trading with other practice firms (VEs) around the world. This simulation enables students to
un-derstand how employees, workgroup teams, and departments interact with each other and
work together to achieve the goal of the company. In addition, the simulation
con-veys the expectations of the workplace. Students take the following courses in the M&M cohort:
Grade 10: Introduction to Business

Logan, in conjunction with Mission Valley ROP, is offering a new STEM pathway! Students will take exciting, yet challeng-ing, engineering courses
developed with industry standards by Project Lead the Way.
The PLTW Pathway To Engineering (PTE) program is a sequence of courses, which follows a proven hands-on, real-world
problem-solving approach to learning. Throughout PTE, students learn and ap-ply the design process, acquire strong teamwork and communication proficien-cy and develop organizational, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills. They
discover the answers to questions like how are things made and what processes go into creating products? Students use the same industry-leading 3D design software used by companies like Intel, Lockheed Martin and Pixar. They explore aerodynamics, astronautics and space life sciences.
Hel-lo, NASA. It’s STEM education and it’s at the heart of today’s high-tech, high-skill global economy. The program is de-signed to prepare students to pursue a post-secondary education and careers in STEM-related fields.
Students will take the following course sequence:
Grade 9: Introduction to Engineering
Design (IED) & Algebra 2

Advanced Placement and Honors
JLHS supports any student who wants to accept the challengesof an advanced class. However, the opportunity to be in ad-vanced placement or honors classes carries with it certain as-sumptions about the skills and maturity of students who will be doing advanced or college level work. It is hoped that students are primarily motivated by an appreciation for the subject and secondarily by GPA or the AP exam.
Students are expected:
To be independent learners, willing to read, learn, ask questions, pursue outside reading and research, integrate and discuss material from diverse sources.
To spend, on average, approximately five hours per week for each AP class.
To attend class, take tests, and turn in assignments on time.
To accept that enrollment in an AP course does not guar-antee an A or B grade.
To gracefully accept assignments, suggestions, and coach-ing from the teacher.
Students who enroll in an advanced placement course or hon-ors course and their parent/guardian must agree to to the following (and sign a written contract):
1. I recognize that I have to demonstrate independence and responsibility. I must meet the highest standards of perfor-mance in any honors or advanced placement course. Hon-ors classes typically require 1-1/2 times as much home-work as non-honors college preparatory classes. Each ad-vanced placement course may require as much as five hours of homework weekly.
2. I know that I cannot transfer from my AP or honors class into the equivalent college preparatory course after the progress report without penalty. A drop after the official DROP date is reflected as a Withdrawal Fail (WF) on the official transcript. I also understand there may not be space available for me in a college prep class and I may have to delay a required class because of my drop. 3. I realize that by enrolling in an advanced placement
course, I am expected to take the corresponding advanced placement exam in May. Funding for this examination is available for those students with demonstrated financial need.
4. I understand that JLHS does not recommend that students take more than 2 AP classes per year.
5. I agree to uphold James Logan High School’s academic integrity policy. I understand that I may be dropped from any honors or advanced placement class with a failing grade pursuant to a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy if I plagiarize, cheat, or submit work other than that which I personally have done.
6. I understand that a California State University and Univer-sity of California approved honors or advanced placement class receives an extra GPA point on the weighted GPA for JLHS. An extra point is not calculated on the un-weighted GPA for official transcripts.

Academic Information
Every effort will be made to assure that students are enrolled in the classes they request. However, it must be understood that the issues listed below may affect the development of a master schedule. As these concerns are addressed, staff al-terations and/or reductions may necessitate schedule chang-es for individual students. Thchang-ese changchang-es will be kept to a minimum, but students and parents must recognize that the possibility for some course changes will exist. James Logan HS /NHUSD / California budgets may not be finalized until the summer months.
Staffing needs, credentialing, retirements, or other fac-tors may not be resolved until a later date.
Student requests (or lack of requests) for courses may result in changes in course offerings.
Grading & Classroom Management Policy
Students will receive a course syllabus stating the teacher’s grading policy by the end of the second week of each semes-ter. The grading policy for each course will explain the basis for grading and will state what percent of your total grade the following areas will comprise: classwork and homework, participation, projects, tests, quizzes, and the final. The teacher will also define classroom behavior expectations and consequences and distribute this information within the first ten days of class.Class Change / Withdrawal Policy
A student may withdraw or request a change from a course within the first ten school days of a semester without aca-demic penalty, and without the course being listed on the student’s transcript. After ten days, but before deficiency notices are issued, a student may withdraw from a course with a “WF” grade (“withdrawal with failure”); in such cases, the course is listed on the student’s transcript and a “WF” will be listed next to the course. Moreover, the student will receive no partial withdrawal credit for time spent in the course. The student should enroll in another course and is eligible to receive partial credit for that course in accordance with the “credit by date” listing. The student as well as par-ent(s)/guardian(s) must sign a Withdrawal Policy Form if a student withdraws from a course after the first three weeks of a semester. The Withdrawal Policy Form must be signed by the student’s counselor and House Principal. A student
may not withdraw from a course after the first deficiency notices are issued except with administrator approval.
Concurrent Enrollment
Students may be able to take courses from community col-leges on a concurrent enrollment basis. The courses are tak-en during hours outside the regular school day. Availability for classes may be limited to high school students. Please check with a counselor before signing up. Credits earned via concurrent enrollment do not earn high school credit, but may allow students to advance to the next level. Courses completed through concurrent enrollment are listed on the
student’s transcript under the comments section.
Summer School
During summer, students have the opportunity of taking up to 2 one-semester long courses at JLHS to repeat courses in which they earned a grade of ’D’ or ’F’. A limited curriculum is available, mostly in core academic areas. Priority is given to students who may graduate at the end of summer. It is strongly recommended that any student who fails a class or loses credit during the school year attend summer school to make up the deficiency.
There are various summer school programs available in schools outside of the district or private programs (Ex: BYU). Students wishing to enroll in such programs should check with their counselor ahead of time to be certain that the pro-gram is acceptable and will yield credit.
Repeating Courses
Students may need to repeat a course for purposes of meeting college eligibility requirements or to meet the ’C’ prerequisite for advancing to the next level of a class. Upon completion of the repeated course, both the initial grade and the repeated grade will appear on the transcript. The credit earned in the initial course, will be removed as credit is only granted only once. Courses can be repeated in summer school or during the school year. In deciding to repeat a course during the regular year, the loss of credit must be considered so as to not be deficient for graduation. The
Uni-versity of California only allows for repeating a course if the initial grade was ’D’ or ’F’. If the earned grade was ’C’ or higher, the repeated grade will not be used in calculating GPA for eligibility.
Mission Valley Regional Occupation
Pro-gram (ROP)
See details: www.mvrop.org
James Logan High School offers students an opportunity to participate in courses offered by ROP. Stu-dents assigned to classes at the Mission Valley Regional Occupational Program (Fremont) are expected to follow all ROP rules and conduct themselves in a manner which will bring credit to James Logan High School. The ROP bus leaves Logan twice per day: once in the morning for morning ROP students and once late in the morning for after-noon classes. Students who miss their bus transportation are required to provide their own transportation to the ROP cam-pus. All Logan students will have a pass which permits them

Short Term Independent Study
Short Term Independent Study is for students who will be absent at least 5, and up to 20 school days. California State Educational Code is very specific regarding the rules and reg-ulations for Short Term Independent Study. Failure to com-plete any of the steps listed below will result in a failure to earn academic and/or attendance credit. Students who go
on Short Term Independent Study but do not turn in assign-ments and paperwork on time will be marked truant for the duration of their absence. In order to go on Short Term
Inde-pendent Study:
1. Make an appointment to with your guidance counselor at least 10 school days before your absence. At that meeting your counselor will give you all of the paper-work required, and go over the process.
2. Have your family fill out the "Master Agreement" con-tract.
3. Have each of your teachers (ALL OF THEM) fill out a "Student Work Assignment" sheet (will be given to you at your counselor meeting). Also get all your independ-ent study assignmindepend-ents, along with any other needed resources, from each teacher.
4. Turn in your completed "Master Agreement" contract and each "Student Work Assignment" sheet to your counselor at least 5 school days before your absence. 5. Complete all assignments during the course of your
ab-sence.
6. On the first day back from your absence, turn in all as-signments and return all other materials to each teacher. 7. On or before your 5th school day back, collect a sample
of graded work from each teacher and have each one complete and sign the "Student Work Assignment" for their class.
8. On or before your 5th school day back, turn in EACH of your completed "Student Work Assignment" sheets and a sample of graded work, plus your "Master Agreement" contract to your House Secretary.
Although school staff is here to assist, completing the paper-work and collecting graded samples of paper-work from each teach-er is the responsibility of the student and his/hteach-er family. Cali-fornia State Educational Code prohibits schools from giving students attendance credit if any of the steps listed above are missing or incomplete. Students who miss a step, or miss even one of the deadlines above will be marked as truant for their absence.
Recognition Programs
Students at James Logan receive many honors for academic achievement, athletic achievement, leadership, school ser-vice, and good attendance. During the year, hundreds of students receive recognition in a variety of ways. Athletes may earn block letters in varsity and junior varsity sports. Scholars may earn academic certificates for making the Hon-or Roll (3.0 GPA Hon-or higher).
In addition to these school-wide recognition activities, many individual groups such as the band, Leadership, Theatre Arts, and various clubs and athletic teams honor their own
mem-bers at programs throughout the year.
Honor Rolls
James Logan High School places a high priority on academic achievement. Recognition for students who achieve to their fullest potential is the goal of our academic honors program. The following academic achievement recognition programs are offered at James Logan:
Superintendent’s Honor Roll: Each semester all students
enrolled in at least 20 credits with straight A’s will be given a certificate and have their name published on the Superintendent’s Honor Roll.
