2012-2013 Registration Handbook for High School Freshmen

How to Use This Book This book will give you valuable information concerning pro-grams and courses offered to students at Sarasota High School. You will need this information as you select courses and register for next year. Please read all parts of this book carefully, and discuss your course selection with your parents, teachers or counselor. When selecting courses, focus on your interests and career goals, as well as graduation and/or scholarship requirements. The first half of the book gives a brief description of gradua-tion requirements and programs available at Sarasota High School. The second half contains a list of courses offered at Sarasota High School. The course descriptions are divided by subject area. While reading through the course descriptions, pay attention to the amount of credit awarded for the course (whether it counts as a half or one full credit), the prerequisites necessary for you to enroll in the course, grade levels at which the course is offered, and any special notes. You should use the page titled My Four Year Plan to keep track of courses that you plan to take while in high school. You can make a plan to complete all of your course required for gradu-ation. Using the information from your CHOICES EXPLOR-ER inventory, you can select other courses that will help you complete a major program in a career area. Finally, you can select and keep track of other courses that you are interested in taking. The Four Year Plan is a good tool for you to use to discuss your goals with your family and your guidance counse-lor.

Small Learning Communities

The idea of a Small Learning Community (SLC) is to create several small schools within our very large high school. Students will enroll in a SLC based on career planning activi-ties completed throughout middle school. The purpose of the program is to help all stu-dents make informed decisions about their future. Small Learning Communities serve the needs of all students regardless of their plans after graduation. Ninth Grade Transition Team: The Freshmen team builds on the middle school team approach. The objective is to help students on the team have a successful transition into high school academically, behavior-ally, and socially. The team is composed of several core/elective teachers whose mission is to work collaboratively to promote the success of each student in the world of high school.

Cambridge AICE Program

SHS MAGNET PROGRAMS

The Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Diploma program is an international pre-university and exami-nation system created by Cambridge University, which emphasizes the value of broad and balanced study for academical-ly able students. Its strengths lie in the flexibility and structure of the curriculum encouraging in-depth, working knowledge of each subject, and in essay-based examinations as assessment of that knowledge. AICE courses are equivalent to those offered at US university freshmen level or beyond. Routes to the AICE Diploma are flexible and offer students the opportunity to tailor their studies to their individual interests, abilities and future plans within an international curriculum framework. AICE Diploma Requirements Students must pass six credits worth of examinations within a 25 month window. At least one examination must come from each of the three subject groups: Mathematics & Sciences, Languages, and Arts & Humanities. Advanced Subsidi-ary (AS) Level exams count for one credit and Advanced (A) level exams count for two credits. Look below to see the courses offered at Sarasota High School. Notice that Thinking Skills is listed twice, this adds to the flexibility of the AICE Diploma. Students can choose to use Thinking Skills as either their Math & Science or Arts & Humanities requirement.

In the fall of 1995, the School of Excellence in Math, Science,

and Technology (MaST) was established at SHS (Sarasota High

School). The MaST Research Institute (MRI) operates as a school

-within-a-school and is intended to provide qualified students

with rigorous enriched curricula and in-depth research experienc-

es that prepare them for collegiate study in the Math, Science,

Medical and/or Engineering fields. MRI provides students with a

year-long introduction to the research process followed by ad-

vanced, independent, mentor-supervised research for the dura-

tion of each student’s high school career. The students’ research

experience in MRI is coupled with an advanced academic core

through Sarasota High’s AICE program. The MaST Research

Institute offers students a unique competitive edge when applying

to university degree programs.

Points of PridePoints of Pride MaST Research Scholars have continually been admitted to and attend top Universities including Boston University, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Oxford, Dartmouth, Duke, Columbia, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, the University of Florida and many more.

Freshman Advisory

To help you make good choices about your career options and Small Learning Community courses, our school has a Teacher Advisory Program (TAP). Here, you and other students partic-ipate in a regularly scheduled class or seminar and spend time identifying personal goals, interests and plans for post-high school education. During this time with teachers, small groups of stu-dents will have opportunities to complete career interest inventories, do career research, hear from guest speakers from the business community and develop a long-term plan for graduation and beyond. Teachers and guidance counselors will assist you with monitoring grades, test scores, attendance, eligibility for school sports and extra curricular activities, scholarship opportunities and other important student responsibilities.

Three-Year Graduation Options

Some students may wish to select a three year graduation option. This choice requires a confer-ence with the school counselor, who will explain the requirements, advantages and disadvantages of this option. The 18 credits required for this option are very specific; there is little room for students to make course selections or to repeat a course that they may fail. This option is intend-ed for students who have very definite, specific career and post-secondary education plans.

High School Promotion and Grade Classification

As you earn credits toward graduation you move from freshman to sophomore, then junior, then senior. The credits you earn each year determine your promotion and grade classification. Fewer than 5 credits .................................................................................. Freshman (Gr. 9) 5 credits ....................................................................................................... Sophomore (Gr. 10) 11 credits (including 1 credit each in English and Math) ..................... Junior (Gr. 11) 17 credits (including 2 credits each in English and Math) .................. Senior (Gr. 12) Students will be provided information on their credit standing each year.

13

Grades

The grading scale at Sarasota High School is:

A = 90 – 100 Outstanding Progress B = 80 – 89 Above Average Progress C = 70 – 79 Average Progress D = 60 – 69 Lowest Acceptable Progress F = 59 – 0 Failure I = Incomplete P = Passes, Credits, No GPA W = Withdrawn

In each course twenty percent (20%) of the grade will be based on employability skills. Those skills will include:

Attendance

Coming to school or class on time

Bringing required work tools, such as paper, pen/pencil, text-books, notebooks, etc.

Maintenance of an assignment notebook or similar system

Completion of homework

Appropriate dress for class

Attitude of cooperation with teacher and fellow students

Time in class devoted to the appropriate task

Grade Point Averages (GPA)

You must earn a minimum of a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale to graduate. Some courses are weighted (given extra points); however, the required 2.0 GPA is on an unweighted scale. Your GPA is very important for determining graduation and eligibility for special scholarship and extra-curricular activities such as sports. The GPA represents the number of quality points earned divided by the number of quality points attempted. Quality points are assigned as follows: Regular Classes Honors, Advanced Placement, Quality Points Quality Points A = 4 A = 5 B = 3 B = 4 C = 2 C = 3 D = 1 D = 2 F = 0 F = 0

14

Exceptional Student Education (ESE)

Sarasota High School offers a comprehensive program of services for exceptional students. Many attend regular education classes and receive the services that are prescribed on their Individual Education Plan (IEP). ESE students may graduate with a regular high school diploma, a special diploma or a certificate of completion. There is an ESE Liaison at the school to assist with scheduling classes and services for eligible ESE students.

Performance-Based Program

Sarasota High School offers this program to students who may have difficulties meeting the expectations of a traditional academic high school program. It includes participation in a computer-assisted curriculum, career-technical courses and small group counseling. Your school counselor can discuss eligibility require-ments with you and your family.

Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program

The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program awards scholarships to any Florida high school graduate who merits recognition of high academic achievement and who enrolls in an eligible Florida public or private post-secondary educational institution within three years of high school graduation. There are three Florida Bright Fu-tures Scholarships: Florida Academic Scholarship, Florida Medallion Scholarship and the Career Technical Educa-tion Gold Seal Scholarship. Students can qualify for only one scholarship and must meet certain requirements.

The general requirements are: Florida residency Standard high school diploma with GPA requirement Accepted and enrolled in an eligible Florida public/private post-secondary school Enrolled for at least six semester credit hours during senior year Participate in community service Applied for the scholarship and FAFSA before graduation Qualifying scores on the SAT or ACT as set by Florida legislature

Facts.org & ePEP

FACTs.org is Florida’s official online student advisement tool. It can be accessed by students, parents, and guid-ance counselors to help track individual career plans and make informed choices about high school and post-secondary education. With this online tool you can determine career objectives, evaluate high school progress, see a summary of your high school courses and grades, learn about higher educational opportunities in Florida and apply to Florida colleges online. Public high school students map out courses for high school with FACTS.org’s Personal Education Planner (ePEP). Students will update their ePEP created in 8th grade annually at FACTS.org.

15

Co-Curricular and Extra Curricular Activities

Sarasota High School offers many different kinds of co-curricular and extra curricular activities. Co-curricular activities are student organizations or groups that meet as part of a course or major area of interest. Examples include marching band and a wide variety of student organizations re-lated to career interests. Students interested in a military career may also wish to consider enrol-ling in the JROTC program. Extracurricular activities include a large variety of sports programs for all students, school newspaper and yearbook.

Second semester ninth graders will be required to maintain a 2.0 minimum GPA for athletic participation. The minimum 2.0 grade point average is established in Florida Statutes and cannot be waived by the Florida High School Athletic Association.
