Dear Cavelero Students and Families:

We are very excited about your 9th grade year here at Cavelero Mid High School! Your freshman year is the

foundation for your high school career and we know you will have a very successful one! Our goal is to help

the students prepare for the rest of their lives! We offer a rich and supportive educational experience. We

have challenging and relevant courses available, as well as academic support courses if needed. We also

strongly recommend that students consider becoming a part of one of our clubs or sports teams! They will have

lots of fun and build an even stronger connection to their school! Please see our website for information about

these opportunities.

This Cavelero Mid High School Planning Guide is used as a resource for students and families of the class of

2020. It is vital that our students and their families are aware of all state and district graduation requirements.

This knowledge will assist the students when they register for their ninth grade classes. It is also important to

utilize the included Four Year Course Planner as our students select the classes that will prepare them for their

future goals. At year’s end, our ninth graders should have earned six credits, passing all classes each semester,

so all future opportunities are still available.

It is important to note that students enrolled in Biology will take an End of the Course assessment (E.O.C.)

towards the end of the year at Cavelero Mid High. These assessments are part of the state graduation

requirements for earning a high school diploma. We are looking forward to assisting the class of 2020 as they

move toward graduation.

SMARTER BALANCED- ELA & MATH TESTS

Based on the Common Core State Standards, the state will administer the Smarter Balanced ELA and MATH

tests during the students 11th grade year. The Washington State web address for OSPI regarding assessment

guidelines is: https://www.k12.wa.us/assessment/StateTesting/

BIOLOGY END OF COURSE ASSESSMENT (EOC)

The state assessment system has adopted End of Course Assessments in Biology. All students must pass either the

Biology state science assessment or approved alternatives in order to be eligible for graduation. The Washington

State web address for OSPI regarding assessment guidelines is: https://www.k12.wa.us/assessment/StateTesting/

QUICK ASSESSMENT GRADUATION REQUIREMENT: CLASS OF 2020

+ Until Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are implemented and assessed, students will be required to pass the Biology

EOC. After NGSS are implemented and assessed, students will be required to pass a comprehensive NGSS Test. The timeline for

NGSS is being developed.

Go Colts! We look forward to working with you,

Mike Snow, Principal Cavelero Counseling Staff

ADMISSION CRITERIA FOR MOST COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Most colleges and universities consider the applicant’s total record, including such factors as

scholastic achievement, recommendations of high school principal or counselor,

recommendations of faculty members, rank in class, extra-curricular activities, and scores on

any nationally administered tests associated with college entrance (SAT or ACT).

Scholastic achievement requirements are generally as follows:

In addition to courses required for graduation from Lake Stevens High School, four year colleges

in Washington State also require Algebra 3-4, two years of the same world language and two to

three years of a lab science.

2. College-bound students will need a math-based quantitative course during their senior year.

Check with your counselor to determine which courses will meet this requirement.

3. Admission to community colleges in the State of Washington is possible upon satisfactory

completion of high school with a diploma.

4. For individual college requirements, consult the appropriate college website, Career

Information Specialist, and/or counselor for assistance.

TESTING PROGRAM - COLLEGE ADMISSION In addition to the general entrance requirements, similar to those outlined in the previous

section, many colleges and universities now require that the student take one or more

standardized state or national tests. Scores are sent to the college by the testing agency. The

information concerning these tests is issued by the high school. All are optional, and it must

remain the student’s individual responsibility to sign up for those tests in which he/she is

interested. (Fees are determined by test agencies.)The following tests are available:

SOPHOMORE & JUNIORS may take:

1. The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test

(PSAT/NMSQT) in the fall: fee approximately $20.00. The PSAT provides familiarization with the

procedures involved in the SAT. The National Merit Scholarship program awards scholarships

based on PSAT results for high school juniors. Other scholarships may use PSAT results as

prerequisites for qualification.

2. Some students may wish to take the SAT during the spring testing opportunities, particularly

those considering application to one of the military academies.

SENIORS OR JUNIORS may take:

1. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is required by most public schools throughout the country as

well as recommended by most private schools in the state of Washington. The College Entrance

Examination Board tests may be taken in October, November, December, January, March, May

and/or June. You can sign up for the SAT test at www.satcollegeboard.org.

2. The American College Test (ACT) may be substituted for the SAT. This test is specifically

required by a few colleges/universities for admission. The American College Testing program

may be taken in October, December, February, April and/or June. You can sign up for the ACT

at www.ACTstudent.org.

Complete information concerning these testing programs are available in the Counseling or

Career Center at the high school. All students who are college-bound should take advantage

of this service.

RUNNING START AT EVERETT COMMUNITY COLLEGE ADMISSION The Running Start program allows students to take college courses at community and technical

colleges which can be applied toward high school graduation and potential college degrees.

How do I qualify for Running Start?

In order to participate in the Running Start program, you must:

Be of junior or senior standing, credit wise. You must have successfully completed your

sophomore year with 12 credits or more.

Be prepared to take college-level courses and do college-level work. College-level

courses can be highly demanding, requiring up to two hours of homework for every hour

of instruction.

Pass a college entrance examination (the Asset or Compass test) in order to take any

college classes, and be accepted for admission to the Running Start program.

Placement into English 101 is strongly recommended, data shows students are more

successful when they place into English 101.

Furnish your own transportation to and from the community college.

Purchase your own books for any classes you take, and pay any fees and/or fines for

classes and books. College tuition will be paid by the State of Washington. You must take

the college courses for credit (no auditing). Tuition on credits below 100 level will NOT be

covered by Running Start.

1. College credits: A community college 5-credit course will equal 1.0 Lake Stevens High

School credit. In summer 2011, the state legislature made changes to the Running Start

program, limiting the maximum combined funding for a student taking courses at both

the high school and the college. In addition, the maximum number of credits Running

Start will pay for an academic student was reduced to 15 credits. There is now a formula

used by the college and the high school to determine a student's eligibility for Tuition

free credits. A student can have eligibility anywhere from three (3) credits Tuition-free to

15 credits Tuition-free. Each high school formula is slightly different. In order to determine

quarterly eligibility, the student will need to complete the Running Start Enrollment

Verification Form (available with your HS counselor).

2. High school graduation requirements: Your Lake Stevens High School counselor will

determine which community college classes will meet Lake Stevens High School

graduation requirements (see the Running Start equivalency chart for more

information. You must fulfill all of the graduation requirements of Lake Stevens High

School in order to graduate with a Lake Stevens diploma. If you are a Running Start

student this means that you will need to take enough equivalent credits at community

college to match the minimum credits required by LSHS for graduation. In all cases, you

should check with your LSHS counselor to ensure that you are making continual progress

toward graduation. You will be required to meet all State testing requirements.

Running Start program option:

The Ocean Research College Academy (ORCA) is an early college high school academy, one

of the first in Washington State. ORCA is the only early college in the nation that uses the local

marine environment as the unifying theme to integrate the core academic disciplines.

Going through the College Admission Process Preparing Talk - with your family, high school counselor, friends, coaches and anyone else who has served as a

positive role model for you about your hopes, dreams, aspirations, fears, and desires for your future.

Learn – engage your education, learn how to study and take the most challenging courses that are

available and appropriate for you. A strong academic performance in high school demonstrates to a

college you are ready for the academic challenges you will face there.

Participate – get involved in a few extracurricular activities you really enjoy and commit to them. Strive to

become a leader in that activity. Start writing for the school newspaper in ninth grade and work your way

up to editor senior year. Life on a college campus is more than classes and a college wants students who

will enrich the experience for others.

Plan – what do you need to do between today and when your college applications are due to make

yourself a viable applicant to the college or university of your choice? Are you taking the necessary

courses? What standardized tests are required?

Researching Learn as much as you can about schools that interest you to discover if they are right for you.

You should learn a lot more than just whether or not they offer your possible major. Empower

yourself by having the necessary information to make knowledgeable decisions. Fortunately,

learning about colleges has never been easier. The information you should be looking for is

usually just a click away.

Some questions to help you get started:

Attend a college fair, NACAC-National Association for College

Admission Counseling is held in Seattle every November

How much does it cost to attend and might you qualify for financial aid?

What types of financial aid are available?

What resources are available? How do they support a student with learning difference or

who is physically challenged?

What activities and clubs are available?

What are your housing options?

Does the college have a career guidance and placement office? Pre-professional

advising? (Pre-med, pre-law, pre-vet, etc.)?

Your counselor will be able to help you think of many, many more questions you

should be considering

Visit the college or university. There is no substitute for first-hand experience.

Applying Actually applying for admission to a college is not an intimidating a task as you may think. Yes, you will

need to complete forms online, gather information about yourself, your family, your activities, and most

likely you will need to write a personal statement. It is all very doable. Your counselor and Career Specialist

are there to help, just ask us! Here are some things to remember:

Do not miss deadlines-submitting an application for admission or financial aid forms after the

deadline may automatically make you ineligible for consideration.

Fill out the FAFSA and/or other additional financial aid forms because financial aid procedures

can differ from school to school. No application for admission can be due prior to October 15th.

You need to be the sole author of your application-complete it yourself! You may ask for advice,

but the words need to be yours.

No college should ask where they rank on your list. You are not obligated to tell a college where

else you are applying.

You should never feel pressured to apply to a college-admission officers are there to tell you

about opportunities and give you accurate information.

Different application plans have different requirements and obligations. Be sure you

understand them: Early Decision-if you apply Early Decision, you are committing yourself to attend that college if admitted. You

file the application early in senior year and are notified of the college’s decision around the end of fall

semester. You may have only one active Early Decision application filed at a time.

Early Action-you apply to the college during fall of you senior year and the college notifies you well before

their Regular Decision deadline as to their decision. You are not obligated to attend the school. You may

submit Early Action applications to multiple colleges.

Single Choice Early Action or Restrictive Early Action-this is the same concept as Early Action, BUT the

colleges that use this from will restrict your ability to Early Action or Early Decision to other colleges.

Rolling Admission-a college will make its admission decision soon after an application is completed. Decisions

are released on a “rolling” basis.

Regular Decision-a college has a specific deadline by which all applications must be completed. All of the

applications are evaluated, all decisions made, and notification letters are them mailed to all applicants.

Deciding Once the admission office has notified you of their decisions, you need to make your decision as to which

school you will attend. It is a big decision and an important one. Take your time, carefully evaluate all of the

information and make the choice that is best for you.

No college can require you to commit to attending prior to May 1, the

National Candidates Reply Date, with the exception of Early Decision or

NCAA athletic scholarship programs.

If you have received financial aid offers, compare them carefully.

Determine exactly what your out-of-pocket cost will be to attend each

school.

Attend prospective student events at the colleges to which you were

admitted.

Talk to you family, your counselor, career specialist and those you trust.

You should never submit an enrollment deposit to more than one school. It is an unethical practice

that may result in your acceptances being withdrawn by the colleges involved.

Once you have decided, notify the colleges that you will not attend and request that your

application closed.

If you have been offered a spot on the college’s Wait List, learn what you need to do to be an

active member of the Wait List. Be sure that you have a place to attend in you are eventually

offered admission off the Wait List.

Sixteen (16) core courses are required (see chart below for subject-area requirements).

Ten (10) core courses completed before the seventh semester; seven (7) of the 10 must be in

English, math or natural/physical science.

These courses/grades are "locked in" at start of the seventh semester (cannot be repeated for

grade-point average [GPA] improvement to meet initial-eligibility requirements for competition).

Students who do not meet core-course progression requirements may still be eligible to receive

athletics aid and practice in the initial year of enrollment by meeting academic redshirt

requirements (see below).

Test Scores: (ACT/SAT) Students must present a corresponding test score and core-course GPA on the sliding scale

SAT: critical reading and math sections.

Best sub score from each section is used to determine the SAT combined score for initial

eligibility.

ACT: English, math, reading and science sections.

Best sub score from each section is used to determine the ACT sum score for initial eligibility.

All ACT and SAT attempts before initial full-time collegiate enrollment may be used for initial eligibility.

the NCAA Eligibility Center. Test scores on transcripts will not be used.

Core Grade-Point Average: Only core courses that appear on the high school's List of NCAA Courses on the NCAA Eligibility

Center's website (www.eligibilitycenter.org) will be used to calculate your core-course GPA. Use

this list as a guide.

Students must present a corresponding test score (ACT sum score or SAT combined score) and

core-course GPA (minimum 2.300) on Sliding Scale B

Core-course GPA is calculated using the best 16 core courses that meet both progression (10

before seventh semester; seven in English, math or science; "locked in") and subject-area

requirements.

SCHEDULE CHANGES AND ACADEMIC NO CREDIT

SCHEDULE CHANGES Specific times for schedule changes will be announced in advance. Schedule changes will

not be allowed following the start of a semester except for students with incomplete

schedules, students who do not meet the prerequisites for the courses in which they are

enrolled, and students with special circumstances.

ACADEMIC NO CREDIT Students will not be allowed to enroll in any course for credit following the 15th day of each

semester. In special circumstances, a student may maintain enrollment in a course but earn

no credit through “Academic No Credit.” The last day to initiate this process will be prior to

45 teaching days into the semester. Any student who does not maintain regular attendance

will lose this status and an “F” grade will be recorded on their transcript. In addition, a student

who drops a class after 15 class days will receive an F.

EARNING CREDIT FOR COURSES TAKEN DURING MIDDLE SCHOOL

Students who wish to earn credit for high school courses taken during middle school must see

their guidance counselor. Note: The grade a student earned in middle school will be used in

determining that student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) during high school.

CREDIT RETRIEVAL

If a student fails a class, the student may be able to earn credit for that course by enrolling in

Credit Retrieval. Credit Retrieval is an after school class that offers a student the opportunity

to earn credit for one or more classes for which credit was not earned when the student

attempted that course before. Cavelero uses both teacher led and an online program,

matching courses to student needs.

Students must complete their assignments and will be graded on a pass/fail basis. Students

will be held accountable for meeting the deadlines listed in the contract agreement. If a

student does not make reasonable progress, they will be dropped from credit retrieval.
