The Grandview High School

Career and Educational Planning Guide

is designed to

provide secondary school students (Grades 9–12) and their parents with an understanding

of courses available and to assist them in planning their schedules. Students will develop

a four-year personal plan of study to ensure their course selections will help them meet

graduation requirements as well as prepare them for their post-secondary goals. Twenty

eight credits are required for graduation. Students should use the appropriate four-year

worksheet to plan their high school course of study and career path to prepare them for

post-secondary opportunities.

Grandview is one of several high schools cooperating with the Herndon Career Center

located in Raytown and Summit Technology Academy in Lee’s Summit. Many programs

are available, and students attend half-days during their junior and/or senior years with

bus transportation provided for most programs. To be considered for selection, students

must obtain an application from the Counseling Of

fi

ce and return it during pre-enrollment.

General School Policies

1. Students will be classifi ed as follows:

2014-2015 Sophomore 6 credits Junior 12 credits Senior 20 credits

Students will be classifi ed according to credits earned at the beginning of the year.

Students who do not earn more than the minimum credits required for their grade classifi cation should earn credit by approved summer school, correspondence courses, Virtual Learning, or night school in order to be able to meet graduation requirements in 4 years. A student may present for graduation a maximum of 4 credits of work done through correspondence and/or night school while attending Grandview High School.

2. Courses cannot be repeated for credit. For example, Art I passed in 9th grade cannot be repeated. Exceptions are instrumental and vocal music, physical education, Studio Art, special education, or any class in which it is specifi cally stated that it may be repeated.

3. If a student cannot participate in physical education courses for medical reasons, a doctor’s note is required.

4. A standard 4.0 grading scale and weighted 4.0 grading scale is used by all teachers:

Grade Percent A ... 100-95 A- ... 94-90 B+ ... 89-87 B ... 86-83 B- ... 82-80 C+ ... 79-77 C ... 76-73 C- ... 72-70 D+ ... 69-67 D ... 66-63 D- ... 62-60 F ... 59-00

Students are provided 3 grade reports each semester, with the report refl ecting the cumulative grade in each class. The semester grade will be recorded on the student’s transcript and will be fi gured into the cumulative grade point average. A ranking of students will be done at the end of each year, with seniors receiving a 7th semester, mid-year ranking.

5. To graduate, students must have attended at least 6 semesters, earned the required credits, and met the specifi c course requirements. Students who complete graduation requirements in less than 8 semesters and want to be released from attendance at Grandview High School must contact their counselor prior to approval of the release. Only those seniors who have met all of their required credits will be allowed to participate at graduation.

6. All students must enroll in a full schedule. Seniors wishing to enroll in a partial day schedule will only be allowed to do so in cases of hardship or other special circumstances. For any seniors to be allowed a partial day schedule, they must show appropriate academic success. All partial day requests must be approved by the principal.

7. Students must pass 7 of 8 classes and earn 3.5 credits in the previous semester to participate in any extra-curricular activity, according to MSHSAA (Missouri State High School Activities Association) guidelines.

Advanced Placement Courses

Advanced Placement (AP) Courses: Each AP course has a corresponding exam that participating schools worldwide administer in May. AP Exams represent the culmination of AP course curriculum and are thus an integral part of the program. All students performing at level 3 (Qualifi ed) or above on the AP Exam will be candidates for earning college credit to be granted to incoming students by the college or university Most colleges and universities in the United States, as well as colleges and universities in more than 40 countries, have an AP policy granting incoming students credit, placement, or both on the basis of their AP Exam grades. Many of these institutions grant up to a full year of college credit (sophomore standing) to students who earn a suffi cient number of qualifying AP Exam grades.

AP Credit and Placement Policies

Students seeking credit through performance on the AP exam should note that each college, not the AP Program or the College Board, determines the nature and extent of its policies for awarding advanced placement, credit, or both. Because policies regarding AP exam performance vary, students should obtain a college’s AP policy in writing. Students can fi nd information in a college’s catalog or on its website or by using the AP Credit Policy search at www.collegeboard.com/ap/creditpolicy.

More than 550 universities outside of the United States, in more than 40 countries, recognize AP for credit, placement, and/or admissions decisions. A full listing of these institutions, with their policies and current contact information, is available at www.collegeboard.com/apintl.

Some AP courses will be offered only in school years beginning with odd numbers. Other AP courses will only be offered in school years beginning with even numbers. See the individual course listings for details.

The following AP courses will not be offered in the 2014-2015 school year: Art History. The following AP courses will be offered in the 2014-2015 school year: English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Biology, Chemistry, Music Theory, Psychology, United States History, and World History.

The AP Exam schedule for the 2014-2015 academic year will tentatively occur within the fi rst two weeks of May 2015.

Advanced Standing Articulated Credit ++

The advanced standing articulated credit is transcripted after the student has completed 15 credit hours at a post secondary institution. The student has up to two years to benefi t from the credit held in “escrow.” Articulated credit is usually limited to Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degrees. Credit only transfers to schools if it is part of the associate’s degree. The advanced standing articulated credit course offerings may depend on the availability of adjunct instructors. Advanced standing articulated credit is offered in conjunction with the following courses:

For the 2014-2015 school year, we do not currently have any courses for articulation credit; however; Grandview High School may offer these as courses come available in the future.

ROGRAM

Schools Program

The State of Missouri A+ Program:

While many Missourians see the A+ Schools Program as a scholarship program, it was created by the Outstanding Schools Act of 1993 as an incentive for improving Missouri’s high schools. The primary goal of the A+ Schools Program is to ensure that all students who graduate from Missouri high schools are well prepared to pursue advanced education and employment. Participating high schools are encouraged to:

reduce the dropout rate •

raise academic expectations by eliminating general track courses •

provide career pathways for all students •

work closely with business and higher-education leaders to better prepare students for their •

lives after graduation

The scholarship will reimburse the unpaid balance of tuition and general fees after all available, non-loan federal fi nancial assistance, such as the federal Pell grant, has been applied to an account. This may result in a zero award if the Pell grant is suffi cient to cover all tuition and general fee charges. The amount reimbursed may be reduced if there are insuffi cient state appropriations. General fees are fees that are charged to all students and do not include fees specifi c to an individual program or group of students. Eligibility expires when the earliest of the following occurs:

• 48 months after completion of high school coursework (Students providing service to any branch of the U.S. armed forces can defer their eligibility beyond the 48 months if they return to full-time status within 12 months of the end of their military service)

• Completion of 105% of the hours required for the program in which you are currently enrolled

105 % includes the following:

• All hours, including developmental/remedial hours, taken at the student’s current institution • All known hours, including developmental/remedial hours, taken at any other A+ eligible institution

• Hours taken at any non-eligible A+ institution, including out-of-state institutions, that the student’s current institution accepts in transfer

105 % excludes the following:

• Hours earned for work completed before high school graduation, including (but not limited to): dual credit, dual enrollment, technical education articulation, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate

• Hours from a non-participating institution not accepted in transfer by a participating institution

Planning, Policies - A+ Program

Grandview High School

Students graduating from a designated Missouri A+ School may qualify to receive two years

assistance with tuition, books, and fees to attend a Missouri community college or

vocational/technical school. To be eligible, each student must have entered into a written

agreement with the school prior to high school graduation, and:

1.

Attended a designated A+ School for three consecutive years prior to high school

graduation.

2.

Graduated from high school with a GPA of 2.5 or higher.

3.

Maintained at least a 95% attendance record.

4.

Performed at least 50 hours of unpaid, school-based tutoring or mentoring for

younger students.

7.

Male students at 18 years of age must register with the selective service.

8.

Make a documented, good faith effort to secure all available federal post-secondary

student financial assistance funds that do not require repayment (FAFSA).

The student financial incentive will be available for a period of four years after high school

graduation. To maintain eligibility during that time, each participating student must enroll and

attend a Missouri public community college or vocational/technical school on a full-time basis

and maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher.

The student financial incentive program is dependent upon funding from the state of Missouri.

Student Incentive

Qualified A+ graduates will be eligible to receive the following:

¾ Tuition and general fees to attend any public community college (some four year schools accept A+ funds for the first two years),vocational school or technical school in the State of Missouri for two years.

¾ The financial incentives will be available only after the student has made a documented effort to secure any available post secondary student financial assistance funds that do not require repayment (See above section).

¾ The tuition incentives will only be made available to reimburse the unpaid balance of the cost of tuition and general fees after available federal financial aid funds have been applied to those costs.

¾ Students will be eligible to receive financial incentives for two years if they are enrolled as a full time student (12 hours or more) and maintain a 2.5 GPA in the post secondary setting.

¾ Private scholarships will not affect eligibility for the A+ Program, nor will they reduce the States’ responsibility to a college or technical school.

¾ Students must complete the two years of full time enrollment at a community college or public vocational / technical school within four years of graduating from Grandview High School.

¾

Financial need is not a factor in determining eligibility for the A+ Program.

ACT

The ACT contains multiple-choice tests in four areas: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. Each of these tests contains questions that offer either four or fi ve answer choices from which you are to choose the correct or best answer. Plan to test during the second half of your junior year and/ or early in your senior year. Check the application deadlines of the colleges you are considering and plan ahead.

Grandview High School is an ACT Testing Site. We are test center 223860. The code to have the student’s ACT score sent to Grandview High School is 261-240. Two ACT fee waivers are available for students who are on free or reduced lunch. Students are responsible for mailing in their registration forms. The easiest way to register is at www.actstudent.org. See your counselor for more information.

End of Course Assessments (EOC)

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has identifi ed the following purposes for end-of-course assessments: measuring student achievement and progress toward postsecondary readiness, identifying students’ strengths and weaknesses, communicating expectations for all students, meeting state and national accountability requirements, and evaluating programs. End-of-course assessments are given in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, English I, English II, Biology, Government and American History.

Semester Tests / Final Exams

Students are required to take semester examinations. If a student is going to be absent on the day of a

fi nal exam, the student is responsible for making arrangements with the teacher to take the fi nal no later than three (3) school days after the semester ends. If a student is ill and misses the fi nal, the student must contact the teacher and schedule a time to make up the fi nal no later than three (3) school days after the semester ends. If the student absence is unexcused, the student will not get the opportunity to make up the fi nal exam(s).

- NCAA Eligibility

NCAA Division I & II Academic Eligibility

Requirements

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) establishes requirements that athletes must meet in order to be able to play at colleges and universities that sponsor sports in which NCAA conducts a championship. High school athletes should make certain they could meet the academic and core-course requirements of colleges that might recruit them or where they might participate in NCAA sports. A summary of NCAA eligibility criteria follows, with more detailed information available at www.eligibilitycenter.org.

Grandview High School Eligibility

To be eligible to participate in any high school extracurricular activity, a student must have passed a minimum of 7 classes and earn 3.5 credits in the previous semester and be enrolled in a minimum of 7 classes the current semester. This does not apply to fi rst semester 9th graders coming from the 8th grade. This is MSHSAA (Missouri State High School Activities Association) policy.

Core Courses

x NCAA Divisions I and II require 16 core courses. See the charts below.

x Beginning August 1, 2016, NCAA Division I will require 10 core courses to be completed prior to the seventh semester (seven of the 10 must be a combination of English, math or natural or physical science that meet the distribution requirements below). These 10 courses become "locked in" at the start of the seventh semester and cannot be retaken for grade improvement.

o Beginning August 1, 2016, it will be possible for a Division I college-bound student-athlete to still receive athletics aid and the ability to practice with the team if he or she fails to meet the 10 course requirement, but would not be able to compete.

Test Scores

x Division I uses a sliding scale to match test scores and core grade-point averages (GPA).

x Division II requires a minimum SAT score of 820 or an ACT sum score of 68.

x The SAT score used for NCAA purposes includes only the critical reading and math sections. The writing section of the SAT is not used.

x The ACT score used for NCAA purposes is a sum of the following four sections: English, mathematics, reading and science.

x When you register for the SAT or ACT, use the NCAA Eligibility Center code of 9999 to ensure all SAT and ACT scores are reported directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center from the testing agency. Test scores that appear on transcripts will not be used.

Grade-Point Average

x Be sure to look at your high school’s List of NCAA Courses on the NCAA Eligibility Center's website (www.eligibilitycenter.org). Only courses that appear on your school's List of NCAA Courses will be used in the calculation of the core GPA. Use the list as a guide.

x Division I students enrolling full time before August 1, 2016, should use Sliding Scale A (see www.eligibilitycenter.org) to determine eligibility to receive athletics aid, practice and competition during the first year.

x Division I GPA required to receive athletics aid and practice on or after August 1, 2016, is 2.000-2.299

x Division I GPA required to be eligible for competition on or after August 1, 2016, is 2.300.

x The Division II core GPA requirement is a minimum of 2.000.

x Remember, the NCAA GPA is calculated using NCAA core courses only.

For more information, visit the NCAA Eligibility Center website at www.eligibilitycenter.org.

High School, Post-Secondary & Career Planning

High School, Post-Secondary and Career Planning

Grandview High School is divided into three small learning communities: the Gold House (Health & Human

Services), the Green House (Engineering, Manufactoring & Technology), and the Orange House (Arts &

Communication). Small learning communities (SLCs) provide teachers the opportunity to collaborate across

subject areas, increasing rigor and relevance of curricula. In addition, SLC’s facilitate strong relationships among

students, staff, and teachers. While SLC’s will provide students with the academic background to pursue any

college or career path, each house is focused on speci

fi

c career clusters.

Career Clusters provide a progressive framework to organize the world of work and career information. Missouri

uses 16 Career Clusters as a way of organizing occupations and careers to assist educators in tailoring rigorous

coursework and related activities for all students. Instruction and other learning experiences organized by Career

Clusters offer students core academics and other activities that match student skills and interests.

Career clusters are bene

fi

cial in helping students develop personal plans of study (PPOS) to facilitate the planning

of educational and career goals. A personal plan of study is a student-speci

fi

c and customized scope and sequence

of coursework that includes high school graduation requirements, applicable coursework for the students’

educational and career goals, and developmentally-appropriate, work-based learning experiences.

The Personal Plan of Study includes graduation requirements as well as electives related to a student’s chosen

career cluster. Grandview High School graduation requirements are found on page 14. Following this page are

outlines of elective courses suggested for each career cluster and organized by the associated house. Each cluster

includes elective courses by grade-level progression. Students are encouraged to follow the elective course

progression for their career cluster. In addition, students may sample elective courses in any career cluster.

Some elective courses are applicable to all career clusters: Speech Communications, Introduction to Debate,

Debate II-IV, Forensics II-IV, Latin I-IV, Spanish I-IV, Mandarin Chinese, Learn & Serve, Computer Applications,

Advanced Computer Applications.

A Program of Study is speci

fi

c to one of sixteen career clusters and includes a scope and sequence of relevant high

school coursework, post-secondary options, and related career options. Students and their parents should research

individual technical schools and colleges for post secondary options. The following websites offer helpful

post-secondary research tools: collegesearch.mo.gov and nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator. Comprehensive Programs of

Study for each career cluster will be available online on the Grandview High School Counseling page.
