2016-2017 Educational Guidelines, Policies, & Course Selection GuideCarefully consider your interests, your abilities, the requirements for graduation, the overall plan of your high school curriculum, and your future plans as you make your choices. You are encouraged to discuss your plans with your counselor, parents/guardians, and teachers. Careful planning will allow you to make the most of your educational opportunities in high school. Only under exceptional circumstances should changes be made in your yearly schedule after your selections are completed. ALL SCHEDULES MUST BE APPROVED BY COUNSELING AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF.

SCHEDULING POLICIES

● Full-time students must be enrolled in at least six classes each semester unless approved by a counselor &/or administrator. Seniors may enroll in five classes each semester. Consider athletic eligibility before scheduling.

● Once a student has successfully completed a higher-level course, they may not go back and take a prerequisite for that course for credit.

● Students with health concerns that need special attention need to provide documentation of the physical need.

SCHEDULING CHANGES

● Students are expected to follow their schedule as assigned. This schedule is based on the student’s choices during schedule sign-up and administrative assignments based on student achievement.

● All schedule changes must be made by August 15, 2016 at 3 PM.. No schedule changes will be made after that date for the first three days of school, unless one of the reasons below warrants a schedule change. Students will have the week of August 22 - 26, 2016 to make schedule changes before the drop policy goes into effect. Students will also only be able to make a schedule change request one time after initial scheduling.

● Reasons for making a schedule change are as follows:Clerical errors by the officeHealth concernsFailure of course or prerequisite

● In order to balance classes, accommodate staff changes, or to provide a positive learning environment for each class, administration and counseling departments reserve the right to adjust students' schedules. Requests for specific lunch periods or teachers cannot be honored.

ADD/DROP POLICYAdditions to a student’s schedule may be made within the first full week of classes. An application for adding the course must be approved by obtaining the permission of the teacher, parents/guardians, and administrator.

Students may drop an elective class within the first two weeks of the course without penalty as long as they continue to carry a full load of classes. Core classes may not be dropped. If an elective class is dropped following the two-week period, students will be issued a penalty-free “W” on their transcript indicating they Withdrew from the course. This penalty free option may be used only once during a student’s high school career. Any additional dropped courses during a student’s high school career will result in an “F”. Students attending the Delaware Area Career Center may only return to Hayes within the first week or at semester with administrative approval from both Hayes and the DACC.

REQUEST TO REPEAT A PASSED COURSEIn order to repeat a course already passed for a replacement grade, the appropriate form (available in the Counseling Office) must be completed and submitted to the Counseling Office before entering the class. The course information and the grade earned the first time remains on the transcript as part of the student's academic record. However, the grade that is earned the second time is the grade that is computed in the calculation of the grade point average. This means students will always receive the second grade earned as credit can only be awarded once for the course.

● A course may be repeated only once.● Grades from out of district sources, correspondence courses, independent study, tutoring, and summer school courses

will not be accepted as replacement grades.● The dropping of a course that is being repeated will be handled according to the same rules as all other courses.

2

OPTIONS FOR FAILED COURSESStudents who fail courses are encouraged to recover those course credits by taking summer school. Students who do not take summer school will be assigned a period to complete the failed course on APEX. Students will have one semester to complete the course on APEX and must attain a 70% to earn the credit. Students who fail Algebra 1, Geometry, or Algebra 2 will be placed back in the classroom to earn the credit and not on APEX. Students may not take Advanced Placement courses on APEX.

REQUEST TO TAKE COURSE PASS/FAILThe pass/fail grading option permits a student to take one full credit per year in grades 10-12 without receiving a standard letter grade. The pass/fail selection for a full-year, a semester or blocked course must be made by the student before the end of the course’s first grading period.

In a pass/fail choice, a grade of “P” is recorded for a course that is passed with at least a 70%. An “F” is recorded if the student earns a D or F. The grade “P” received in a pass/fail option is not used in computing a student's Grade Point Average (GPA) but an “F” will be computed.

The following restrictions are placed upon this choice:● No required core course may be taken pass/fail.● No more than one credit may be elected in a given subject area during the four years of high school.● PowerSchool will indicate actual grade percentage earned.● A student may choose to return to the standard letter grade anytime prior to the end of the course. If this option is

selected, the student is responsible for making the request in writing to their school counselor by the end of the course. The student will then receive a letter grade for the final grade of the course. When the student drops the pass/fail option, they may not use the pass/fail option for another course in that school year.

Please note:● THE NCAA COLLEGE ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY RULES calculate all P’s as if the student earned a D.● Not all colleges will accept P’s for admission. Students are responsible for checking with colleges before requesting this

option. No changes will be made once the course is completed.

TRANSFER GRADESStudents who transfer to Hayes High School from another high school or online program will be issued the grades earned at the previous high school as recorded on that school’s transcript. Grade percentages and weighting of grades from the previous school will be honored in the student’s historical grade record. Students who have been in traditional homeschooling program during high school, who transfer to Hayes, and are seeking to graduate from Hayes, must provide the curriculum for the coursework to be evaluated by a curriculum committee, which may include the student’s school counselor, department chairs, and administrators, before coursework will be issued credit.

3

GRADING POLICYThe grading procedure uses a method of grade computation based on recording and averaging numerical percentage grades, including semester exams, throughout the length of the course. Term and semester exam percentage grades will be converted to a letter grade for the permanent record.

98% - 100% A+ 93 – 97% A 90% - 92% A-87% - 89% B+ 83 – 86% B 80% - 82% B-77% - 79% C+ 73 – 76% C 70% - 72% C-67% - 69% D+ 63 – 66% D 60% - 62% D-

Below 60% F

To compute the final grade for the course, the following procedure is used:Year long course:

1. Add the term percentage for each of the four terms and multiply by 2.2. Add the percentages for each semester exam.3. Divide the total for the terms and exams by 10.4. Convert this percentage to a letter grade according to the following scale.

Semester course:1. Add the term percentages for each of the two terms and multiply by 2.2. Add the percentages for each semester exam.3. Divide the total for the terms and exams by 5.4. Convert this percentage to a letter grade according to the following scale.

Percentage Safety Net: The following minimal percentage grades are used to compute the final grade in the course.

Year long term: Term 1 42% Semester course: Term 1 or 3 42%Term 2 42% Term 2 or 4 Actual PercentageSemester Exam 42% Semester Exam Actual PercentageTerm 3 42%Term 4 Actual PercentageFinal Exam Actual Percentage

GPA CALCULATION & RANKINGGrade point averages are based on grades, values assigned, and the course credit value. See the following chart for values assigned based on your graduating year. Hayes is on a 4.0 grading system with weighted grades. Advanced Placement and College Credit Plus courses are weighted and given one additional point when receiving a C- or higher in the course..

Class of 2014 & Beyond

Letter grade Grade point Letter grade Grade pointA+ 4.0 C+ 2.3

A 4.0 C 2.0A- 3.7 C- 1.7B+ 3.3 D+ 1.3B 3.0 D 1.0B- 2.7 D- 0.7

F 0

To determine your GPA – Multiply the grade point value by the course credit, total the points, and divide by the total number of credits. Cumulative GPA’s are based on the year-long or semester final grade. Semester GPA’s are calculated using all completed courses and semester averages for the current year.

CREDIT FLEXIBILITYSenate Bill 311 (the Ohio Core legislation) raised the graduation requirements for high school students, with the goal of increasing the number of students who are ready to meet the demands of our global and technological age. Ohio's plan for credit flexibility is designed to broaden the scope of curricular options available to students, increase the depth of study possible for a particular subject, and allow tailoring of learning time and/or conditions. These are ways in which aspects of learning can be customized around more of students' interests and needs.

Students may earn credits by:1. Completing traditional coursework;2. Testing out of or demonstrating mastery of course content; or3. Pursuing one or more “educational options” (e.g., distance learning, educational travel, independent study, an internship, music, arts, after-school/tutorial program, community service or other engagement projects and sports).

Credit flexibility is intended to motivate and increase student learning by allowing:1. Access to more learning resources, especially real-world experiences2. Customization around individual student needs3. Use of multiple measures of learning, especially those where students demonstrate what they know and can do, apply the learning, or document performance

Delaware Hayes’ plan is continuously being developed.

TEST-OUT OPTIONS

Students and parents will be notified twice a year either through newsletters, parent letters, Counseling presentations, or e-mail, about the upcoming opportunities for testing out or flexible credits. Students must complete an application to test out of a course for first semester by June 1st or by October 15th for second semester to test out of a course. Testing out requirements must be met by August 1st for first semester/summer grading and by December 1st for second semester grading. There may be applicable fees.All applications and additional information is available online on the Guidance website under “Credit Flexibility.”

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Independent Study is designed for coursework outside the curriculum offered at Hayes. All Independent Study credit must go through an application process. Forms are available on-line on the Counseling website under “Credit Flexibility.”
