Registration Supplement

2011-2012

Winter 2011

Dear Student and Parent:

This Registration Supplement was developed to assist course selection. It provides an overview of the in-structional program at Lincoln Southeast. As you plan, remember that LSE is a comprehensive high school with many choices. No one course of study is best for all students. Your own abilities, interests, and goals are important factors to consider when determining course selections.

When planning, avoid hasty decisions. Discuss your views with parents, teachers, and friends. LSE coun-selors have additional information and help if you need it. Spending extra time on this initial process may help you avoid problems later.

Lincoln Southeast is an amazing school with an excellent curriculum and very dedicated staff. Many co-curricular activities exist to make student learning more exciting and productive. Experience has shown us that greater benefi ts come to those who plan carefully and participate fully. Please contact us if we can help you in these important decisions.

Sincerely,

Dr. Patrick Hunter-PirtlePrincipal

GENERAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION

You should:1. Remember that Lincoln Southeast is a comprehensive high school with many possible choice patterns.

No single pattern of subject choices is best for all students. Your abilities, interests and educational-vocational goals are important factors to consider when determining elective subject choices.

2. Know that all courses and vocational opportunities at Lincoln Southeast are offered without regard to race, color, national orgin, sex or handicap.

3. Review carefully the material contained in this publication and the LPS course description publication. Your counselor will help you if you need more information regarding courses at Southeast.

4. Discuss your classes for next year with parents, teachers and your counselor. Avoid hasty decisions. Your counselor will help you with questions that concern your abilities, achievements, interests and vocational possibilities.

5 Balance your classes over your high school years. DO NOT plan too heavy a load the fi rst years with the idea of a light senior year. Our graduates who become college freshmen often express regret for not taking a heavier load their senior year to better prepare them for the challenge of a college schedule.

6. Select courses that are applicable to the graduation requirements, are consistent with past achievements and are compatible with your education and career plans. You should endeavor to make choices that expand rather than limit future opportunities/options.

7. This booklet can be accessed on the counseling page at http://lse.lps.org/detail.html?ID=2347

The following items may also be helpful:1. Normal Class Load - The minimum class load is six classes (30 hours) per semester; the maximum

class load is eight (40 hours). The typical class load is six or seven classes (30-35 hours). Because the graduation requirements prescribe a minimum of 230 or 245 credit hours, depending on your graduation year, it is important that you register for the correct number of courses each semester. If you are in doubt and have questions about the number of classes you should take, your school counselor can advise you.

2. Electives - It is through the wise selection of elective courses that students are able to personalize their educational plan. Elective courses should be perceived as opportunities for: 1) Adding depth/breadth to an intended area of specialization. 2) Expanding existing interests and discovering new ones, and 3) Providing diversity/change of pace that can refresh and invigorate.

3. College Preparatory Courses - Students should consider the admissions requirements for the college/universities in which they are interested before registering for their high school courses. Your counselor has information about many post high school institutions.

4. Instrumental Music - Auditions with Mr. Metteer, LSE Instrumental Music teacher, are a prerequisite for participation in Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band I. Winds and percussion students for orchestra are selected from Wind Ensemble. Mr. Metteer will arrange auditions for eighth grade students with middle school instrumental music teachers. An audition is not required for Marching Band.

5. Athletic Program - Prospective student-athletes who may be potential candidates for an athletic scholar-ship at a Division I or II NCAA member institution should be aware of the specifi c "core curriculum" requirements for athletic participation and scholarships. This information is available in the LSE Coun-seling Center or online at the NCAA Eligibility Center at www.ncaa.org.

CLASS RANKStudents are sometimes disappointed to learn that they do not qualify for an athletic grant or other scholarship or for admission to certain colleges because they do not rank high enough in their class. This brings up the important question: How is class rank determined?

The class ranking system that is used in the Lincoln Public Schools is based on a point system and not grade point average. Students receive value points for classes that they have taken that refl ect the grade, credits earned, and the diffi culty of the class. For example a student who takes a weighted AP course, earns 5 hours credit, and receives an A would be awarded 5 points. A student who takes an unweighted course, receives 5 hours of credit, and receives an A would be awarded 4 points. Value points are prorated depending on course diffi culty, number of credit hours, and the grade earned. A student who takes a full load of seven courses per semester and more diffi cult courses would receive more value points. The class rank system is capped at 35 hours a semester so that all students have equal opportunity when class rank is calculated. The class rank points are listed from highest to lowest and a rank is assigned to each student.

The maximum number of hours that will be considered for the purpose of calculating class rank will be 70 hours in the freshman year, 140 hours by the end of the sophomore year, 210 hours by the end of the junior year and 280 hours by the end of the senior year. If a student has more than the designated hours, the courses with the lowest grades and hours will be dropped. Grades of S and U are not part of the calculation for Class Rank Points.

Students who take less than 7 courses because of sports, work or other opportunities would not have as high a rank as other students even though their GPA may be higher. Students who also take courses off campus such as at a college do not have these courses automatically added to their class rank. Students should be aware that courses taken off campus such as at a college or university, with the exception of math & foreign language, are not weighted courses. Students should consult with their academic guidance counselor to determine whether or not to add college course credit to their LPS academic transcript.

MATHEMATICS Since mathematics is the study of highly sequential topics, students should look closely at their achievement in previous mathematics courses and their future academic plans before selecting math courses. Successful completion of Advanced Algebra is the minimum entrance requirement for most colleges. Some colleges (including UNL) require the completion of a year beyond Advanced Algebra in order to enter without a defi ciency. Most two-year & technical schools require completion of Adv.

WORLD LANGUAGE

World languages offered at LSE focus on listening, speaking, writing & reading skills. The study of grammar, vocabulary acquisition, & presentation of cultural information are also integral parts of world language learning.

The study of world language provides background for college, career & travel. Some colleges have a world language entrance requirement and/or graduation requirement; the amount of language credit needed for graduation from college is directly re-lated to the level of profi ciency attained in high school. Successful completion of the fourth year of world language in high school may allow a student to waive world language requirements for entrance to and/or graduation from some colleges.
