Title Ix, Non-DiscriminationEastern Kentucky University, and by extension, Model Laboratory Schools, is an Equal Opportunity (EEO) /Affirmative Action (AA) institution that values diversity in its faculty, staff, and student body and does not discriminate on the basis of age (40 and over), race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, ethnicity, national origin, disability, veteran status, and/or genetic information in the admission to, or participation in, any educational program or activity (e.g., athletics, academics and housing) which it conducts, or in any employment policy or practice, in conformity with Title Ix of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C § 1681 and its implementing regulation at C.F.R. Part 106.

Honoring a tradition of excellence, Model Laboratory School offers a world-class education that prepares next-generation leaders.

The tradition of excellence at Model dates back well over one hundred years: in September 1906, Model opened its doors as the first laboratory school in Kentucky as part of the Eastern Kentucky Normal School, which would become Eastern Kentucky University. Normal schools were postsecondary institutions created for the purpose of training teachers for the classroom; laboratory schools were important extensions of the normal school, provid-ing authentic learning experiences for students and teacher candidates alike.

Model was created to be “The Model School,” or in other words, the Com-monwealth’s standard for high-impact, researched education practices based on John Dewey’s philosophy of constructivist learning.

The founder of constructivism, John Dewey was an influential American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer. Dewey believed that “Education is not an affair of ‘telling’ and being told, but an active and con-structive process” wherein students create knowledge through quality expe-riences and reflection.

Putting his theory into action, Dewey created the first laboratory school in 1896 in association with the University of Chicago. Here he found that students were learning by doing, and that students were the driving force of the creation of knowledge. Dewey’s progressive approach and proven results spread across the country—including to Kentucky.

Now, Model is the only laboratory school remaining in the Commonwealth. An emphasis on constructive learning has distinguished Model as a school of choice in the region.

Moreover, Model continues to function as an integral part of EKU’s cam-pus by providing opportunities to gain practical experiences for university students in various programs including Occupational Therapy, Exercise and Sports Sciences, Nursing, Psychology, Education, and more.

THE MODEL CORE

Academic Integrity (9.4)Model Laboratory School requires high standards of personal conduct from all pupils and em-braces the concept that each pupil shall respect the rights of others and abide by the adminis-trative procedures of the school and the laws of the community and state. Academic integrity is a fundamental value of Model Laboratory School.

It should be clearly understood that academic dishonesty is not tolerated and incidents of it will have serious consequences. Anyone who knowingly assists in any form of academic dishonesty shall be considered as responsible as the student who accepts such assistance and shall be subject to the same sanctions.

Academic dishonesty can occur in different forms, some of which include cheating, plagiarism, and fabrication.

You are in violation of the Academic Integrity policy if you:• Copy, fax, or duplicate assignments that will be turned in as your “original” work.• Exchange assignments by print-out, disk transfer, or modem, then submit the work as your “original” work.• Write formulas, codes, key words on your person or objects for use in a quiz or a test.• Use hidden reference sheets during a quiz or test.• Use programmed material in watches or calculators when prohibited.• Exchange answers with others (either give or receive answers).• Take someone else’s assignment and submit it as your own.• Submit material (written or designed by someone else) without giving the author/artist name and/or source (e.g. plagiarizing or submitting work created by family, friends, or tutor).• Take credit for group work when little contribution was made.• Do not follow additional specific guidelines on cheating established by department, class, or specific teacher. These guidelines must be communicated to the student in writing as part of the course description/syllabus or posted as part of the class rules.

A violation of Academic Integrity will result in the student’s receiving no credit on the assign-ment and can also include other consequences such as detention, Saturday School, parent conference, meeting with an administrator, removal from class, or suspension.

Advanced Placement (AP) (8.113)The Advanced Placement® (AP) Program enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies will still in high school. The program consists of college-level courses developed by the AP Program that high schools can choose to offer and correspond-ing exams that are administered once a year.

Students that elect to enroll in an AP course must take the corresponding exam at the end of the school year. Students in an AP course fulfilling a specific graduation requirement are strongly encouraged to take the corresponding exam at the end of the school year. Students who do not take the exam will not receive the AP designation on their transcripts. 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. Students who earn qualifying scores on AP exams will have the opportunity to earn scholarships for use at Kentucky colleges or universi-ties.

Students 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 approved 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 circumstances and with approval from the principal.

Grades 9 - 12 Grade 12

Dean’s List and Graduation

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

At commencement, students may be honored based on their cumulative GPA for all course-work attempted during high school.

Valedictorian: 4.00 GPAThese students will receive commemorative medals.

Students who have met all college readiness benchmarks on the Kentucky Commonwealth’s mandated assessments will receive an aca-demic excellence pin.

Credit Awarding (8.113)Credits will be awarded at the end of each semester for grades of A, B, C, and D. All courses taught at Model are worth 0.5 credits per semester. Dual credit courses that are 3-4 credit hours will earn 0.5 credit toward Model graduation requirements. Any dual credit course that is 1-2 credit hours will earn 0.25 credit toward Model graduation requirements.

Credit Recovery (8.221)Provided 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. 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 educational record which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed may include the following: • Student’s name, address, and school email address • Student’s telephone number • Student’s date and place of birth • Student’s grade level and major field of study • Information about a student’s participation in school-recognized activities/sports • Student’s weight and height, if a member of an athletic team • Student’s dates of attendance • Awards, honors, and degrees 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, armed forces, or official organizations whose need for the data is connected 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, specifically 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.

1514

Dropping (or Withdrawing) from Class (8.1131)No student who has enrolled in a course, including a dual credit course, shall be permitted to drop a course without first acquiring the consent of the student’s parent/guardian(s), teacher, and the principal or his/her designee. If a drop/withdrawl request is approved, the student must be placed into another class for audit.

Dual Credit (8.1131)Dual 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 is to 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 are offered on Eastern Kentucky University’s campus, and are taught by EKU faculty.

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).

Dual Credit General Guidelines for Model Students

• KAR 3:300 defines a Carnegie unit for high school graduation as 120 hours of instructional time. In compliance with this regulation, dual credit courses that are 3-4 credit hours will earn 0.5 credit toward high school graduation, and 1-2 credit courses will earn 0.25 credits toward high school graduation. • 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.

• All students enrolled in dual credit courses must complete the Contract for Off-Campus 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. Dual credit students are enrolled as non-degree seeking students in order to maintain freshman eligibility after high school graduation. A maximum of eight dual credit courses may be taken during high school. • Students should schedule classes during times that most closely align with theModel 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 college 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 to meet a graduation requirement. 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 student’s respon-sibility to check with the college or university to which he/she plans to enroll about the accep-

tance and transferability of dual credit courses. There is no guarantee on the part of Model 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 tran-script 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 stu-dents interested in a dual credit program for up to two dual credit courses. KHEAA currently sponsors the KY State Dual 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 eight total courses.

• If the student does not receive approval from the high school counselor to enroll in an approved dual credit course, the student’s parent/guardian will be billed for the cost of the tuition for the course.

EKU Dual Credit for Model 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 institution. It is highly recommended that stu-dents 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 application, 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 successful com-pletion of courses. Dual Credit students are expected to maintain a 2.0 minimum institutional GPA.

• Students 16 years of age and older electing to use the Student Recreation Center may re-quest that this charge fee be added to their accounts.

EKU Scholarships for Dual Credit and AP Exam ScoresThrough the EKU Study Strong Scholarship, students who earn dual credit through EKU can virtually double their investment, earning up to $2,400 additional scholarship dollars* for get-ting good grades and bringing those credits to EKU. Students taking AP exams can also earn dollars* for their test-score earned credits.

EKU Dual Credit Course A = $300 B = 225 C = 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 total for EKU Study Strong Scholarship, 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 graduation 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 9 or as soon thereafter as the intent is known, but within the first 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 develop-ment and monitoring of an individual learning plan.

To graduate early and earn an Early Graduation Certificate, a student shall: 1. Score proficient or higher on the state-required assessments; and 2. Meet the college readiness exam benchmarks established in 13 KAR 2:020 for placement in credit-bearing courses without the need for remediation.

A student who has indicated an intent to graduate early may participate in the student’s state administration of the college readiness exam prior to the junior year, if needed. Students who meet all applicable legal requirements shall be awarded a diploma and Early Graduation Certificate.

Failing a CourseStudents who fail either semester of a required course for graduation must still earn the credit for the semester they failed in order to meet the graduation requirements. Students who earn an F1 are eligible for credit recovery or may repeat the semester of the course they failed. Students who earn an F2 must repeat the semester of the course they failed in accor-dance with the Grade Replacement/Repeating Course guidelines below.

Governor’s School for the Arts ProgramEvery summer, the Governor’s School for the Arts (GSA) faculty of professional artists and educators guide over two hundred of Kentucky’s finest young artists through three weeks of incredibly intense (and incredibly fun) arts instruction. For three solid weeks, the students live, breathe, eat and sleep the arts. It’s a thrilling, often life-changing experience, as they meet new friends, explore their creativity, and discover new things about who they are and who they can be in the future.

GSA auditions & reviews the Commonwealth’s most promising high school sophomores and juniors in nine different arts disciplines: Architecture + Design, Creative Writing, Dance, Dra-ma, Film + Photography, Instrumental Music, Musical Theatre, Visual Art and Vocal Music. GSA historically takes place in the last 2 weeks of June into the 1st week of July.

GSA is an arts education program of The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts. GSA is offered at no cost to the student, and is made available through funding from the state, as well as private fundraising. Find out more at the website kentuckygsa.org.

Governor’s School for Entrepreneurs ProgramThe Governor’s School for Entrepreneurs (GSE) offers a transformative experience that brings teens from around the state together for a three week residential experience. During the pro-gram, motivated teams of high school students develop a business model, design a prototype, and pitch their startup to a large audience and panel of entrepreneurs. Participants leave with not only a newfound understanding and love of entrepreneurship, but an innovator’s eye and a founder’s gift.

GSE is open to rising freshmen, sophomore, and juniors. Entrepreneurs are selected based on creativity, work ethic, and skill set. GSE looks for teens who thrive in a hands-on environment, who want to roll up their sleeves and truly create their own work, and embrace failure every step of the way. Students who wish to apply must submit a two minute introductory video, an online application, and two references.

Governor’s Scholars ProgramThe Governor’s Scholars Program (GSP) 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 the website: gsp.ky.gov.

Before reaching the statewide competition, each student must first submit his/her applica-tion through his/her school and participate in the school and/or district level competitions. Only those students selected and submitted by their district (or unaffiliated 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 district-wide junior class enrollment. Over 2,000 applications are received at the state level each year, with approximately 1,000 students selected to attend.

1918

Grade Point Averages (8.221)Grade 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 computing the GPA. The GPA is com-puted 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 / Repeat / Audit

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 cumula-tive 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.

Homework (8.211)Homework is ultimately assigned for the benefit of the student: it allows students to practice utilizing the core concepts and skills covered in class, and it provides course instructors 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 home-work assignments are to be graded, instructors should grade and return the work within a reasonable time.

Individualized Learning Plan (8.14)The 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 aca-demic careers

• Creating, maintaining, and changing resumes

• Tracking and reflecting on their community services experiences, work experiences, ca-reer-planning activities, and extra-curricular and organization activities

• Exploring colleges and postsecondary opportunities that match their career, postsecondary and life goals

• Connecting to the KHEAA.org (Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority) website for help with college planning, tuition assistance information, and application

• Collecting personal information like assessment results, advising activities, demographic information, and educational history

Infinite CampusIn an effort to improve communication between home and school, parents are encouraged to establish an account with Infinite Campus, the state required student information system. On Infinite Campus, parents and students can access timely and secure student information— in-cluding class schedule, assignments, attendance, report cards, transcripts and course registra-tions for next year online.

All parents and students have the opportunity to access a secure website using a specific 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 Model. 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 begin-ning of each school year for individuals who have not activated an account. It is not necessary to reactivate an account annually.
