OUR HISTORY

OUR MISSION

OUR VISION

In September 1906, Model Laboratory School opened its doors in association with what was previously entitled the Eastern Ken-tucky State Normal School. Based on John Dewey’s philosophy of experiential education, Model was designed to function as a hub of educational research and professional development for future teachers to develop the skills necessary for effective educating.

Model was initially established as a private school with facili-ties and opportunities of a superior level to provide for its students, as a demonstration school to acquaint college students with the methods of teaching, and as a training school to give prospective teachers prac-tical experience in teaching.

As the first and only laboratory school in the state, Model has worked in tandem with Eastern Kentucky University’s College of Ed-ucation to prepare thousands of future educators in addition to even more students through a world-class education.

Model functions as an integral part of Eastern Kentucky Uni-versity’s campus. Moreover, the school continues to offer a unique op-portunity for interaction amongst college faculty, primary and second-ary school faculty, as well as students ranging from prekindergarten to twelfth grade.

In a shared commitment with Eastern Kentucky University, Model Laboratory School will serve as a learning laboratory for P-12 education in the Commonwealth of Kentucky by providing an exem-plar for research, best practices, and innovation in elementary and secondary education and teacher professional learning.

In collaboration with EKU, Model will establish pathways that provide a P-20 student-centered learning environment producing next generation college graduates and career professionals prepared to lead a global society.

In addition, Model will serve as a professional development and continuing education hub to provide opportunities for Kentucky’s educators to become master teachers.

Advanced Placement (AP)The Advanced Placement Program® (AP) enables willing and academically pre-pared students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. The program consists of college-level courses developed by the AP Program that high schools can choose to offer, and corresponding exams that are administered once a year.

Students in AP courses must sit for the AP exam. Students and their parents or guardians are responsible for the cost of the AP exam. The AP exam fee will be billed separately from tuition and fees in the fall semester. Students who do not take the exam will not receive the AP designation on their transcript. Students who earn qual-ifying scores on AP exams will have the opportunity to earn scholarships for use at Kentucky colleges or universities.

EKU Scholarships for AP Exam ScoresThrough the EKU Study Strong Scholarship, students taking Advance Placement (AP) can also earn dollars* for their test-score earned credits.

EKU Dual Credit Course A = $300 B = $225 C = $150 Advance Placement (AP) Exam Score 5 = $300 4 = $225 3 = $150

*One time award to high schools seniors who enroll at EKU as new freshmen in the first fall term following their graduation from high school. Maximum award $2,400 in addition to any Merit Scholarships earned. Total aid cannot exceed cost of attendance, in such cases institutional awards, such as Study Strong, may be reduced. Student must be enrolled full-time at EKU to receive the award.

AwardsGrades 9-12 Grade 12

A Dean’s List will be published each semester recognizing academic achieve-ment for those students earning a GPA of 3.50 or higher for that semester.

Counseling ServicesCounseling services are available for every student in the school. These services include assistance with educational planning, interpretation of test scores, college or career planning, individual graduation plan, study help, help with personal, school and/or social concerns, or any questions the student may feel he/she would like to discuss. Stu-dents should contact the high school counselor to arrange for a meeting time.

Course Selection DecisionsEach student will confer individually with his/her counselor regarding the choice of subjects for each year. Once the student has made a decision and this decision is ap-proved and signed by the parents, this decision on the part of the student is final. No schedule changes after the first day of classes will be made except in special circum-stances and with approval from the principal.

Credit AwardingCredits will be awarded at the end of each semester for grades of A, B, C, and D. All courses taught in the Model Lab School are worth 0.5 credits per semester. Dual credit courses that are 3-4 credit hours will earn 0.5 credit toward Model Lab School gradua-tion requirements. Any dual credit course that is 1-2 credit hours will earn 0.25 credit toward Model Lab School graduation requirements.

Credit RecoveryProvided that a student has achieved a minimum grade of F1 in a course, he/she may enroll in credit recovery options through correspondence, virtual online, or face-to-face courses. Only courses offered by accredited agencies and institutions will be accepted. The express approval of the principal/designee shall be obtained before the course is taken and an official record of the final grade must be received by the school before a diploma may be issued to the student. Under ordinary circumstances, students or their parents/guardians shall pay for approved courses.

All correspondence or online coursework must be completed outside the regular school day and off the school campus.

Directory InformationAs delineated in the KRS 160.700 statute, directory information contained in an educa-tional record which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed may include the following: • Student’s name and address • Student’s telephone number • Student’s date and place of birth • Student’s major field of study • Information about the student’s participation in school-recognized activities and sports • Student’s weight and height, if a member of an athletic team • Student’s dates of attendance • Awards the student has received • Most recent educational institution attended by the student • Student’s photograph along with name

This information may be released to news media, athletic organizations, scholarship or college entrance committees, or official organizations whose need for the data is connect-ed with student activities. The parent, guardian, or eligible student may request all or part of directory information to be withheld. The request must be in writing, specifical-ly stating the information to be withheld, and be received by the school no later than 30 days after the first day of the school year or the date of the student’s enrollment. Parents may contact the school principal for an official copy of the Student’s Directory Information Notification form.

13

Disenrollment: Academic ProbationCriteria for referral and/or placement on academic probation include the following:• A student failed 2 or more courses in a semester in the previous academic year.• A student earned semester grades significantly below levels anticipated based on assessment of ability and/or achievement.• A high rate of absence from class(es).• Classroom behaviors resulting in poor academic performance.• Students currently failing 2 or more classes, as determined by quarterly grade report or midterm progress check.• Referral may occur at any time during year and is not limited to specified grading periods. For students who meet the criteria for referral/placement, a majority of the student’s current teachers will review the student’s performance. Upon consensus of the individuals participating in the review, a referral may be made, and notification of parents and student will occur.

Upon referral a conference will be held, involving the student’s teacher(s), administra-tor(s), counselor(s), and parent(s)/guardian(s). The group will review referral informa-tion, develop a remediation plan, and create a contract for specific activities and time period.

• Potential remediation options include, but are not limited to:• Extended learning program.• Alternative curriculum, such as study skills and/or lab classes.• Peer tutoring offered by school clubs or organizations.• Private tutoring, to be arranged by parent and student.• Mandatory after school study periods with referring teacher.• Recommendations for vision, hearing, or other exam as indicated.• Other interventions as deemed appropriate by the parents, students, and counselor (e.g., career counseling sessions, personal counseling, academic advising, etc.)

Dropping (or Withdrawing) from ClassNo student who has enrolled in a course, including a dual credit course, shall bepermitted to drop a course without first acquiring the consent of the student’s parent/guardian(s), teacher, and the principal or his/her designee.

Dual CreditDual credit is awarded when a high school and a postsecondary institution give credit to a high school student for the same course. The objective of dual credit courses isto offer high school students an opportunity to take affordable, high-quality college courses. Dual credit programs are designed to reduce degree cost and time to degree for Kentucky students. Most dual credit courses at Model Lab School are offered on Eastern Kentucky University’s campus, and are taught by EKU faculty. An additional benefit for students attending Eastern Kentucky University is the Study Strong Fresh-man Scholarship. Students who earn dual credit through EKU can virtually double their investment, earning up to $2400 in additional scholarship dollars for getting good grades and keeping those credits at EKU. Contact the Counseling Office for more information.

Dual Credit Eligibility• The student must be a junior or senior in high school.• The student must have a high school GPA of at least 3.0 (weighted or unweighted).• The student must meet college readiness in English (ACT 18 in English, equivalent KYOTE, EKU Placement Test scores, ENG 101 AP credit).

14

Dual Credit General Guidelines for Model Laboratory Students• Students must receive approval from their counselor prior to enrolling in a dual credit course. Failure to obtain approval will result in the course not earning high school credit. Additionally, the student’s parent/guardian will be billed for the cost of the tuition for the course.

• All students enrolled in dual credit courses must complete the Contract for Off-Cam-pus Opportunities and return the completed form to the Counseling Office.

• Dual Credit students may enroll in a maximum of 2 courses per fall and spring semester of their junior and senior years in high school at the reduced dual credit tuition rate. Dual credit students are enrolled as non-degree seeking students in order to maintain freshman eligibility after high school graduation. A maximum of eight courses in total may be taken at the dual credit tuition rate. • Students should schedule classes during times that most closely align with theModel Laboratory bell schedule. Students who do not have signed Contract for Off-Campus Opportunities will be assigned to high school course for audit credit on their non-college course days or times.

• Online dual credit courses may not be substituted for school day periods. Students cannot substitute more than one period for a dual credit course.

• Students are required to meet all course prerequisites. Students are not permitted to enroll in academic readiness corequisite courses.

• Students may not enroll in any dual credit course which is currently being offered through Model Lab School. Students may, however, enroll in an EKU dual credit course after they have taken the course or its equivalent at Model unless the student has already earned college credit for the EKU course through AP, CLEP, or another credit by examination offering.

• If students plan to enroll at a college or university other than EKU, it is the stu-dent’s responsibility to check with the college or university to which he/she plans to enroll about the acceptance and transferability of dual credit courses. There is no guarantee on the part of Model Lab School that these courses will be accepted or transferred to other colleges and/or universities.

• Any student who withdraws or drops a course must notify the high school counselor in writing within 24 hours or the course will be transcripted as a WF (F) on the high school transcript and that grade will be computed in the high school GPA. A student who drops a course will be enrolled in a high school course for audit credit.

Dual Credit Tuition and Fees• Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) covers tuition costs for students interested in a dual credit program. KHEAA currently sponsors the KY StateDual Credit Scholarship as well as the Work Ready Scholarship. These scholarships do not cover textbooks (including digital texts) or materials. Dual credit students are responsible for the cost textbooks (including digital texts), course materials/supplies and parking permits when applicable.

• Model Laboratory School will pay the dual credit tuition cost for the remainder of courses not covered by KHEAA, up to six total courses.

15

EKU Dual Credit for Model Laboratory Students• To qualify for the EKU Dual Credit Program, high school juniors or seniors must have a 3.0 weighted or unweighted high school GPA and have a minimum ACT English sub-score of 18 (or SAT, KYOTE or EKU placement test equivalent college readiness score in English) or ENG 101 equivalent from another postsecondary insti-tution. It is highly recommended that students also meet college readiness in Reading in order to meet EKU prerequisite requirements.

• To apply for EKU Dual Credit, students must submit an online Dual Credit appli-cation, ACT scores, high school transcript and a consent form (located on the EKU Dual Credit website) by the application deadline specified for each semester. A new application and supporting documentation must be submitted each academic year to continue. Enrollment in dual credit courses as a non-degree seeking student does not guarantee admission as a degree seeking student. EKU waives the application fee for Dual Credit admission.

• Continued participation in EKU’s Dual Credit program is dependent upon success-ful completion of courses. Dual Credit students are expected to maintain a 2.0 mini-mum institutional GPA.

• Students 16 and older electing to use the Student Recreation Center may request that this charge fee be added to their accounts.

EKU Study Strong Scholarship for Dual CreditThrough the EKU Study Strong Scholarship, students who earn dual credit through EKU can virtually double their investment, earning up to $2,400 additional scholar-ship dollars* for getting good grades and bringing those credits to EKU. Students tak-ing Advance Placement (AP) can also earn dollars* for their test-score earned credits.

EKU Dual Credit Course A = $300 B = $225 C = $150 AP Exam Score 5 = $300 4 = $225 3 = $150

*One time award to high schools seniors who enroll at EKU as a new freshmen in the first fall term following their graduation from high school. Maximum award $2,400, in addition to any Merit Scholarships earned. Total aid cannot exceed cost of attendance, in such cases institutional awards, such as Study Strong, may be reduced. Student must be enrolled full-time at EKU to receive the award.

Early Graduation CertificateStudents who meet all applicable legal requirements shall be eligible for early grad-uation in relation to receipt of an Early Graduation Certificate. Students who would like to pursue an early graduation pathway shall notify the principal of their intent prior to the beginning of grade nine (9) or as soon thereafter as the intent is known, but within the first thirty (30) school days of the academic year in which they wish to graduate. A Letter of Intent shall be entered into the student information system by October 1 of the year the student declares intent to graduate early. Students working toward an Early Graduation Certificate shall be supported by the development and monitoring of an individual learning plan. Students who meet all applicable require-ments shall be awarded a diploma and an Early Graduation Certificate.

16

Governor’s Scholars ProgramThe Governor’s Scholars Program is a highly prestigious summer residential program for outstanding high school students in Kentucky who are rising seniors. Students who are selected attend the Program without charge.

Student Application and Selection Packets are sent to every public, private, and parochial school district in the state. Applications may be picked up in the Counseling Office in late September or downloaded from our website.

Before reaching the statewide competition, each student must first submit his/her application through his/her school and participate in the school and/or district level competitions. Only those students selected and submitted by their district (or unaf-filiated private school) may compete in the statewide selection process. The number of nominees each district may submit to the statewide process is based on the dis-trict-wide junior class enrollment. Over 2,000 applications are received at the state level each year, with approximately 1,000 students selected to attend.

See gsp.ky.gov or the High School Counseling Office for more information.

Grade Point AveragesGrade point averages (GPAs) are calculated at the end of the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth semesters. This calculation shall be based on performance in all courses taken during the high school years. All dual credit grades will be used when comput-ing the GPA. The GPA is computed by dividing the total credits attempted by the sum of all quality points earned. GPA is calculated to the hundredth place. Rounding will be applied.

Quality points shall be assigned as follows:

4.00 A 3.50 B+ 3.00 B 2.50 C+ 2.00 C 1.50 D+ 1.00 D 0.00 F

Grading Scale (EFFECTIVE 2019-2020 School Year) Grades A through D qualify as passing. The grade given at the end of the semester is a cumulative grade for that semester and is recorded. The numerical grading scale is as follows: 90 – 100% A 87 – 89% B+ 80 – 86% B 77 – 79% C+ 70 – 76% C 67 – 69% D+ 60 – 66% D 50 – 59% F1 (Eligible for credit recovery) 0 – 49% F2 (Not eligible for credit recovery)

Incomplete (I) grades transfer to a grade of “F” either two weeks after the grading period ends or at the end of the contracted period.

Grades earned prior to the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year will be computed using the grading scale in effect when the credit was earned.

17

HomeworkHomework is ultimately assigned for the benefit of the student: it allows students to practiceutilizing the core concepts and skills covered in class, and it provides course instruc tors the opportunity to administer personalized feedback to each student.Homework assignments shall be purposeful and related to current work. They shall not be used as punishment. When appropriate, homework assignments should be individualized according to the needs and skills of the pupil. Instructors should make every effort to allocate time for students to begin the homework assignments under their supervision. When homework assignments are to be graded, instructors should grade and return the work within a reasonable time.

Individualized Learning PlanThe Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) is a comprehensive framework for advising students in grades six (6) through twelve (12) to engage in coursework and activities that will best prepare them to both realize college and career success and become contributing members of their communities. A school shall maintain each student’s individual learning plan. The individual learning plan shall be readily available to the student and parent/guardian(s) and reviewed and approved at least annually by the student, parent/guardian(s), and school officials.

The ILP will assist students in:• Exploring careers that match their skills and interests• Creating education plans• Establishing personal goals and revisiting these as students progress throughout their academic careers• Creating, maintaining, and changing resumes• Tracking and reflecting on their community services experiences, work experiences, career-planning activities, and extra-curricular and organization activities• Exploring colleges and postsecondary opportunities that match their career, postsec-ondary and life goals• Connecting to the KHEAA.org (Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority) website for help with college planning, tuition assistance information, and applica-tions• Collecting personal information like assessment results, advising activities, demo-graphic information, and educational history

Infinite CampusIn an effort to improve communication between home and school, parents are encour-aged to establish an account with Infinite Campus, the state required student infor-mation system. On Infinite Campus, parents and students can access timely and secure student information— including class schedule, assignments, attendance, report cards, transcripts and course registrations for next year— all online.

All parents and students have the opportunity to access a secure website using a spe-cific user ID and password to gather student information. Students will create their own account which will allow access to their information only. Parents will create a separate account which will allow access to all children in the family enrolled at Mod-el Lab School. Both custodial and non-custodial parents/guardians will be allowed to create an account, unless a court order prohibits rights to student information.

Instructions on how to establish an account will be provided upon enrollment or at the beginning of each school year for individuals who have not activated an account. It is not necessary to reactivate an account annually.

18
