The “WF” will be comput-ed into their cumulative GPA. A “W” (withdrawal) may be granted with administrator approval.

Process for Withdrawing from a class:Talk with your counselor and then discuss the plan with your parent. Deliver form to your teacher for discussion, response, and signature. Deliver form to your parent for signature approving teacher response and grade. You must also sign form.Deliver form to your counselor for signature and processing. You should continue to attend class until your counselor has processed the drop request.

Courses Outside of Tualatin High School Students may earn up to five (5) high school credits from outside the high school setting. Only credits from accredited programs will be transcribed. Please see your counselor to pick up the Application for Additional High School Credit prior to taking any outside course for credit.You are responsible for completion of the course and for sending a transcript of the class and grade to the Counseling Of-fice staff by May 20th of senior year, to ensure the credit will be posted in time to clear you for graduation. Remember this is an outside credit opportunity that is not the responsibility of the Tigard-Tualatin School District Staff. Check with your counselor about community college courses and the credits that will transfer. Courses taken at a treatment center are usually counted towards health or elective credit and will be transcribed as follows:65-70 hours = .5 credit at TuHS 130 hours = 1.0 credit at TuHS

Credit RecoveryStudents who fail a class in social studies, science, language arts, or health will not be placed back in the class to recover the credit. Credit recovery is available through a credit recovery class or through several different accredited programs outside of Tualatin High School. Please see your counselor for more information.

Grade AppealsGrade appeals must be submitted within two weeks of the receipt of the first semester report card or during the first week of the following school year for second semester grades. Please contact the Associate Principal of Curriculum at 503-431-5607.

Homework Make-up PolicyHomework assigned prior to an excused absence is due immediately upon the student’s return. Students are responsible for any work assigned during their absence(s). Homework assigned during a student’s excused absence is due by the number of days the student was gone, plus one day upon return. Homework not turned in due to an unexcused absence may receive no credit. See the Course Syllabus handed out by each teacher for more information regarding assignments.

Homework Requests When a student is absent more than 2 days, please check teacher websites or contact teachers directly through email for missed assignments.

Instructional Policies and InformationGrading System and Policies

(There are exceptions to this rule. See your counselor for more information.)


Incomplete GradesTeachers may initiate an incomplete contract with a student for extenuating circumstances, i.e. prolonged illness, injury or family emergency. Incomplete contracts are not to be used to provide students additional time to com-plete missing homework, tests and/or quizzes due to poor attendance or lack of effort prior to the grading period. The teacher will post a final grade on the transcript at the end of the semester. Students have until the end of the second week in the following grading period to complete the work required under the contract. If the contract is satisfactorily completed, the teacher will calculate a new grade and change the final grade on the transcript. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Associate Principal of Curriculum at 503- 431-5607.

Middle School Math and TranscriptsPer TTSD school board policy, middle school students earning an “A”, “B” or “C” in Algebra 1 or Geometry shall be granted high school elective credit for that course and will receive the grade earned in the class on their high school transcript when the student demonstrates learning mastery through a district-wide, end-of-course assessment by scoring at least an 85% on the assessment.

Pass/Fail GradingAll courses are graded “A – F” unless otherwise stated. Courses needed for graduation requirements, or those that are a prerequisite for a future course, may not be graded on a “pass/fail” basis. Juniors and seniors may take one pass/fail course by application and approval per grading period. This will not include courses that are only graded on a pass/fail basis (i.e. teacher assistant). If a student fails the course, an “F” will be calculated into the GPA. A “P” is not calculated into the student’s cumulative GPA. Arrangements for “pass/fail” must be made with the counselor and teacher before the end of the first 9 weeks each semester. Special requirements and restrictions apply.

ReleasesJuniors and Seniors who are on track for graduation are eligible for releases. Students can pick up release forms in the counseling office. When the form is filled out with parent approval, students will return it to their counselor and receive a release sticker for their student body card.

Repeating and Transcribing CoursesAll courses that students complete will be recorded on their transcript. Course(s) may not be repeated at TuHS for a higher grade; however, as classroom space is available or teachers are recommending, students may retake math and foreign language to improve skill level and achieve mastery before moving on to the next level. Requests to repeat courses in math and foreign language will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and will be approved only upon recom-mendation of the teacher, and if class sizes permit enrollment in the course.If a student does repeat a course, both grades will be recorded on the transcript, and the first grade will be transcribed as an elective credit. Courses eligible to be repeated include all in-district academic programs and accredited private, alternative, charter and public school programs. Students must complete an application for outside credit prior to enroll-ing in a course outside Tualatin High School in order for the grade and credit to appear on their transcript. Students need to arrange all outside credit through their counselor.

Schedule ChangesTuHS counselors work hard to give students the electives they requested during Spring forecasting. If a scheduling error (i.e. wrong level of math or language) is made, counselors should be notified during the first week of the semester so corrections can be made. Staffing and offering of electives are based on requests made during Spring forecasting; there-fore students are expected to accept and complete the courses they have requested. Careful forecasting by students helps to maintain balanced class sizes and equal opportunities for all students. Students are expected to attend the first week of classes as scheduled. If a student wishes to change a class beyond level corrections, they can only be requested during the second week of the semester and may be approved after serious consideration.

Teacher Changes Tualatin High School has an extremely talented and dedicated staff; therefore, it is our policy to discourage teacher changes. During the semester, if a conflict arises, please schedule an appointment with the teacher to resolve the issue. If further action is needed, please contact the Associate Principal of Curriculum at 503-431-5607.


Politicas Instruccionales e InformaciónSistema de Calificaciones y Políticas

(Hay excepciones a esta regla. Converse con su consejero por más información.)

Abandonar una claseDespués de la segunda semana del semestre, los estudiantes no pueden ya agregar o abandonar clases sin completar un pro-ceso para dejar una clase. Todas las clases abandonadas después de la segunda semana de clases del semestre figuraran en el reporte de calificaciones finales del estudiante. Los estudiantes recibirán una “WF” (withdrawal=abandonar con una F) en su reporte de calificaciones final por esa clase. El “WF” será computado en su promedio general acumulativo. Una “W” (withdrawal=abandonar) puede ser concedido con la aprobación del administrador.

Proceso para abandonar una clase:Habla con su consejero y converse acerca del plan con su padre o madre. Lleva la forma a su maestro para conversar, responder, calificación y firma. Lleva la forma a su padre para su firma, respuesta y calificación del maestro. Tú también debes firmar la forma. Lleva la forma al consejero para que la firme y procese. Debes seguir asistiendo a la clase hasta que tu consejero haya proc-esado la forma de abandono de clase.

Cursos fuera de la Preparatoria Tualatin Los estudiantes pueden obtener hasta 5 créditos de nivel de preparatoria fuera de la escuela. Solo créditos de programas acreditados pueden ser transcriptos. Por favor habla con tu consejero para llevar la aplicación para Crédito de Preparatoria Adicional antes de tomar cualquier curso por crédito fuera de la escuela.

TÚ eres responsable por completar el curso y por mandar un reporte de notas de la clase y su calificación a la oficina de consejería antes del 20 de Mayo de tu año senior, para asegurarte que el crédito sea incluido a tiempo y te permita graduarte. Recuerda que esta es una oportunidad de obtener crédito por fuera de la escuela y no es la responsabilidad de los emplea-dos del distrito de Tualatin Tigard. Chequea con tu consejero acerca de los cursos de los colegios comunitarios y los créditos que transfieren. Los cursos tomados en centros de tratamiento usualmente se cuentan hacia créditos electivos o de salud del siguiente modo:

65-70 horas = .5 crédito en TuHS 130 horas = 1.0 crédito en TuHS

Recuperación de créditos: Los estudiantes que fallen una clase en estudios sociales, ciencias, artes del lenguaje o salud no serán puestos de vuelta en la clase para recuperar el crédito. La recuperación del crédito está disponible a través de clases de recuperación de créditos o a través de varios programas acreditados fuera de la Preparatoria Tualatin. Por favor consulte a su consejero por más infor-mación.

Apelaciones de GradoLas apelaciones de grado deben presentarse dentro de las dos semanas siguientes a la recepción de la tarjeta de calificaciones del primer semestre o durante la primera semana del siguiente año escolar para las calificaciones del segundo semestre.Por favor consulte con al Director Asociado de Currículo al 503-431-5607.

Política de recuperación de tareasLas tareas que hayan sido asignadas previamente a una ausencia justificada deben ser entregadas inmediatamente después que el estudiante vuelva a clase. Los estudiantes son responsables por todos los trabajos asignados durante su ausencia. Las tareas asignadas durante la ausencia justificada de un estudiante deben ser entregadas luego de los días que el estudiante haya estado ausente más un día. Las tareas que no hayan sido entregadas a tiempo debido a una ausencia injustificada pu-eden no recibir crédito. Consulte el programa de estudios de la clase que cada maestro entrega para mas información acerca de las asignaciones y tareas.

Pedido de tareasCuando un estudiante se ausenta por más de dos días, por favor consulta las páginas web de los maestros o contacta a los maestros directamente por email para saber acerca de los trabajos pendientes.


Calificaciones IncompletasLos maestros pueden iniciar un contrato por incompleto con un estudiante en el caso de circunstancias extremas, por ejemplo una enfermedad prolongada, heridas o emergencias familiares. Los contratos por incompleto no se usan para dar a los estu-diantes tiempo adicional para completar tareas, preparar exámenes o pruebas debido a mala asistencia o falta de esfuerzo pre-vio a tiempo de calificaciones. Los maestros pondrán la calificación final el finalizar el semestre. Los estudiantes tienen hasta el final de la segunda semana del periodo siguiente de calificación para completar el trabajo requerido bajo el contrato. So el contrato se completa satisfactoria mente, el maestro calculara una nueva calificación y cambiara la nota final en el re-porte final. Las preguntas acerca de esta política deben dirigirse al Director Asociado de Currículo al 503-431-5607.

Matemáticas de Escuela Media y Reporte de Calificaciones De acuerdo a la política del consejo educativo del Distrito Escolar de Tualatin Tigard, los estudiantes de escuela media que se saquen una “A”, “B” o “C” en Algebra 1 o Geometría recibirán crédito electivo de nivel de escuela preparatoria por ese curso y recibirán la nota conseguida en la clase en su reporte de calificaciones de la preparatoria cuando el estudiante demuestre Proficiencia a través de una evaluación de fin de curso a nivel del distrito, sacándose un 85% en la evaluación.

Calificación Pasar/FallarTodas las clases se califican como “A – F” a no ser que se establezca lo contrario. Los cursos que se necesitan para gradu-arse, o aquellos que sean prerrequisitos para un curso futuro, no pueden calificarse en base a Pasar/Fallar. Los estudiantes Junior y Seniors pueden tomar una clase Pasar/Fallar por aplicación y aprobación por periodo de calificación. Esto no incluye cursos que solo se califican en base a Pasar/Fallar (por ejemplo asistente de maestro). Si un estudiante falla una clase, una F se calculara dentro de su promedio general acumulativo (GPA). Una “P” (Pasa) no se calcula dentro del promedio general acumulativo (GPA). Los arreglos para Pasar/Fallar deben hacerse con la consejera o la maestra antes del final de las primeras 9 semanas de cada semestre. Se aplican requerimientos y restricciones especiales.

LiberacionesLos estudiantes Juniors y Seniors que están en camino para graduarse pueden ser elegibles para liberaciones de clases. Los estudiantes pueden recoger una aplicaion en la oficina de consejería. Cuando la forma está completa, con la aprobación de los padres, los estudiantes deben retornarla a la consejera y recibirán un etiqueta de liberación para su tarjeta de identificación estudiantil.

Repetir y Transcribir CursosTodos los cursos que los estudiantes completas serán registrados en su reporte de calificaciones. Los cursos no pueden repetirse en tuhs para conseguir una nota o calificación más alta; sin embargo dependiendo del espacio en las clases o los pro-fesores están recomendando, los estudiantes pueden retomar una clase de matemáticas o de lengua extranjera para mejorar sus habilidades y obtener un mejor manejo antes de pasar al siguiente nivel. Los pedidos para repetir un curso en matemáti-cas y lenguaje extranjero deben ser revisados caso por caso, y serán aprobados solo con la recomendación del maestro, y si los tamaños de las clases permite la inscripción en el curso. Si un estudiante repite un curso, ambas calificaciones serán regis-tradas en el reporte de calificaciones, y la primer calificación será transcripta como un crédito electivo. Los cursos posibles para ser repetidos incluyen todos los programas académicos dentro del distrito y los programas acreditado, privados, alternati-vos, y de escuela pública y charter. Los estudiantes deben completar una aplicación para crédito externo antes de anotarse en un curso fuera de la Preparatoria Tualatin con el fin de obtener una calificación y que para el crédito aparezca en su reporte de calificaciones. Los estudiantes deben coordinar todos los créditos externos con su consejera.

Cambios de horarios Los consejeros de Tuhs trabajan duro para dar a los estudiantes las clases electivas que ellos requieren durante el pronóstico de primavera. Si ocurre un error de horarios (por ejemple un nivel incorrecto de matemáticas o lengua) los consejeros deben ser notificados durante la primera semana del semestre para hacer las correcciones necesarias. Las decisiones de personal y la oferta de electivas se base en los pedido hecho durante el pronóstico de primavera; por lo tanto se espera que los estu-diantes acepten y completen las clases que ellos requirieron. Un pronóstico cuidadoso por parte de los estudiantes ayuda a mantener un tamaño de clases balanceado y oportunidades equitativas para todos los estudiantes. Los estudiantes deben asistir a la primera semana de clases del modo que han sido determinado sus horarios. SI un estudiante desea cambiar una clase más allá de una corrección de nivel, lo pueden hacer durante la segunda semana del semestre y puede ser aprobado solo luego de seria consideración.

Cambios de maestros La preparatoria Tualatin High tiene un grupo de educadores extremadamente talentoso. Por lo tanto, es nuestra política no alentar cambios de maestros. Durante el semestre, si surge un conflicto, por favor arregle una cita con el maestro para resolver el problema. Si se necesita otra acción, por favor consulte con al Director Asociado de Currículo al 503-431-5607.

OSAA Athletics & Activities Requirements

Math Policies

Athletic EligibilityIn order to be eligible to participate in the athletic/activity program at Tualatin High School, the Oregon School Activity Association requires students to attend and be enrolled full-time in a minimum of five classes, or 2.5 credits, both the preceding and current semester.

The Tigard-Tualatin School District requires a 2.0 GPA with no “F’s” the preceding and current semester to remain eligible to compete in athletics or activities. This includes entering ninth grade students, as well. An eligibility check will be done quarterly. If you have questions regarding your eligibility, please contact theAthletic Director at 503-431-5661.

Math PlacementsAny student who receives an “A” or “B” in their math class will move on to the next math class. A student who receives a “C” in their math class will either move on to the next level or repeat the math class, depending on their current math teacher’s recommendation. A student who receives a “D” or “F” in their math class will repeat the class the following year.

Pre-AlgebraIn order for a student to be placed in Pre-Algebra, or to be moved from Algebra I to Pre-Algebra, the following criteria will be examined:8th Grade state test scores 8th Grade math class and grade 8th Grade teacher recommendation 9th Grade placement assessment

Other assessment data and parent input may also be utilized. If the student was below math standards in three of the four areas, he/she will probably be placed in Pre-Algebra. All others should remain in Algebra I. All transfers must go through the content area leaders and counselors. Level changes will be completed during the first one to two weeks of school.

Seniors Withdrawing from MathMath teachers encourage students to complete four years of math. If a student is choosing to withdraw from their class and not go into another math class, they will most likely receive a “WF.” If a student is choosing to withdraw from their class and repeat the previous years math class, they will receive a “W.”


Opciones de graduaciónGraduación tempranaLos estudiantes que planeen aplicar para graduación temprana deben satisfacer el siguiente criterio: 1. Enviar una aplicación a su consejero un semestre antes de la graduación deseada 2. La aplicación debe incluir:

Un programa con las clases que cumplen con el acuerdo de requerimiento de graduación, incluyendo la realización de habilidades esenciales por un consejero y padre o tutor Un plan de colegio o carrera post escuela preparatoria

Nota: Las clases de nivel 12 (Senior) se harán disponibles a los de grado 11 (Juniors) en la medida que estén disponibles.

Deportes OSAA & Requerimientos para ActividadesElegibilidad para deportesCon el fin de ser elegible para participar en el programa de deportes o actividades en la escuela Tualatin High, la Oregon School Activity Association (Asociacion de Actividades escolares de Oregon) requiere que los estudiantes esten inscriptos a tiempo completo en por lo menos cinco clases, o 2.5 créditos, incluyendo el semestre actual y el anterior.

El distrito de Tualatin Tigard requiere un GPA de 2.0 sin ninguna “F” en el semestre actual y el anterior para ser elegible para realizar deportes o actividades. Esto incluye a los estudiantes entrantes a noveno grado también. Un chequeo de elegibilidad se realizara cada cuatrimestre. Si tiene preguntas acerca de su elegibilidad, por favor contacte al director de deportes 503-431-5661.

Políticas de Matemáticas Ubicación en clases de matemáticasCualquier estudiante que recibe una “A” ó “B” en su clase de matemáticas pasara a la siguiente clase de matemáticas. Un estudiante que recibe una “C” en su clase de matemáticas, pasara al siguiente nivel o repetirá esa clase, dependiendo de la recomendación del maestro actual. Un estudiante que recibe una D o una F en su clase de matemáticas, repetirá esa clase el año siguiente.

Pre-AlgebraPara que un estudiante sea ubicado en una clase de Pre-Algebra o pasado a una de Algebra 1 a una Pre-Algebra, el siguiente criterio será examinado:

Los resultados de los exámenes estatales de 8vo GradoLa clase de matemáticas de 8vo Grado y su notaLa recomendación de la maestra de 8vo grado y el examen de ubicación de 9no grado

Otros datos de evaluaciones y el input de los padres pueden utilizarse también. Si el estudiante se encuentra por debajo de los estándares en tres de las cuatro áreas, él o ella tomará Pre-Algebra. Todos los demás permanecerán en Algebra 1. Todos los cambios deben hacerse a través de los líderes del área y consejeros. Los cambios de niveles deben completarse durante la primera y segunda semana de escuela.

Seniors que dan de baja matemáticasLos maestros animan a los estudiantes a completar cuatro años de matemáticas. Si un estudiante elije dejar una de sus clases y no ir a otra clase de matemáticas, es muy posible que reciban un “WF”. Si un estudiante elije dejar una clase y repetir la clase de matemáticas del año previo, recibirán una “W”.


Foreign Language Department Policies

Foreign Language Placements of Current StudentsTeachers of first-year students recommend students for second-year language class. This recommendation is based upon student performance in class, grades, and a placement test given before students schedule for next year. Normally, a student who has maintained at least a “B” average will not find the high school second level too difficult.

Students need to receive a “D” or higher in the first semester of their foreign language class in order to continue on to the second semester.

Foreign Language Placement of Incoming FreshmenThe foreign language staff believes that success in a language strongly correlates to a student’s ability in his/her native language. We recommend that incoming freshmen have at least a “B” in eighth grade English to enroll in a language. It is our experience that students who did not earn an “A or B” in English as eighth graders are more successful if they enter a foreign language class as sophomores.

Foreign Exchange Students

Foreign Exchange students are required to be proficient in the English language and are placed into US History and Junior English. The rest of the class options are open for the student to decide.

Home School/Private School Students/Out of Boundary

ElectivesIf the student lives in our boundary and there is room in the class, it is open for private and home school students. If they are from the Tigard area, they need to complete a transfer request just like any other THS student who wants to attend at TuHS. If they are from out of the district, they must complete an inter-district transfer request.

Grade and Report Card FactsTeachers currently use a program called Synergy to record student attendance and academic performance. Parents and students can use a Synergy feature called ParentVUE/StudentVUE to monitor assignments, grades, and progress towards graduation (as well as other areas of information.) If you need assistance activating your Synergy account, please contact the TuHS main office.Report Cards are sent out at the end of each quarter or semester. Parent will receive four report cards in total. First and third quarter grades are reported as measures of progress and are not permanent. Semester grades are generated at the mid-point of the year and at the end of the year. They are transcribed and become a permanent record of student perfor-mance. A grade of “D” or higher earns credit towards graduation for classes taken. If a class is retaken, both previous grades will remain on the transcript. Parents and students can request official and unofficial transcripts through the counseling center.


Ubicación en clases de idioma extranjero de estudiantes actuales Los maestros del primer año recomiendan a los estudiantes las clases de Segundo año. Esta reco-mendación se basa en el desempeño del estudiante en clase, sus notas y un examen de ubicación que se les da a los estudiantes antes de que se anoten las materias para el año siguiente. Normalmente, un estudi-ante que mantuvo por lo menos una B de promedio, no tendrá dificultad en la clase del segundo nivel.

Los estudiantes deben recibir por lo menos una D en el primer semestre de idioma extranjero para seguir en el segundo semestre.

Ubicación de estudiantes de 9no grado entrantes en clases de Idioma extranjeroLos maestros de idioma extranjero creen que el éxito con una lengua extranjera se correlaciona fuertemente con la habilidad de los estudiantes en su idioma nativo. Recomendamos que los estudiantes de 9no grado entrantes que tienen por lo menos una B en su clase de inglés, se anoten en un idioma extranjero. Nues-tra experiencia nos dice que los estudiantes que no se sacaron una A o B en ingles cuando estaban en 8vo grado, son más exitosos si se anotan en una clase de idioma extranjero en su grado 10 (sophomores).

Los estudiantes de intercambio deben ser proficientes en el idioma ingles para poder tomar la clase de Histo-ria de los Estados Unidos y una clase de inglés de nivel Junior (11) El resto de las clases las puede elegir el estudiante libremente.

ElectivasSi el estudiante vive dentro de límites y hay lugar en la clase, pueden asistir estudiantes de escuela privada o de escuela en el hogar. Si son del área de Tigard, necesitan completar un pedido de transferencia como cualquier alumno de THS que quiere asistir a TuHS. Si son de fuera del distrito, deben completar un pedido de transferencia entre-distritos.

Datos sobre las calificaciones y boleta de calificaciones Los maestros actualmente están usando un programa que se llama Synergy para registrar la asistencia y desempeño académico de los estudiantes. Los padres y los estudiantes pueden usar un aspecto del programa Synergy llamado ParentVUE/StudentVUE para monitorear los trabajos asignados por los maestros, calificaciones y progreso en función de la graduación (así como otras áreas de información). Si necesita asistencia para activar una cuenta de Synergy, por favor contacte a la oficina de TuHS.

Las boletas de calificaciones se envían al final de cada cuatrimestre o semestre. Los padres recibirán cuatro boletas de calificaciones en total. El primer y tercer cuatrimestre se reportan como medidas de progreso y no son permanentes. Las calificaciones del semestre se generan a la mitad de año y al final del año. Se transcriben y pasan a ser registros permanentes del desempeño del estudiante. Una calificación D o más alta consigue crédito hacia la graduación por las clases tomadas. Si una clase se repite, ambas calificaciones previas permanecen en el transcripto. Los padres y los estudiantes pueden pedir transcriptos oficiales a través de la oficina de consejería.

Estudiantes de Escuela en el hogar / Escuela Privada / Fuera de los limites


1. Where do I go for help with scheduling of classes?Talk to your counselor. They will be able to give you advice on what classes you should take to help you with your future goals. They can also help with college planning, problem solving, and personal issues.

2. I’m not a “full IB student”…Can I still take IB classes?You do not need to be a full IB diploma student to enroll in most IB classes. Students are encouraged to enroll in these challenging classes and most college admissions offices place greater value on these classes. Make sure to look at the prerequisite. If you have questions about the class, ask the teacher or your counselor. The IB Coordinator can answer IB questions.

3. How do I get college credit for classes?We have a number of courses that allow students to earn college credit. See page 8 for more information. Also, course descriptions in the guide will tell you if they offer dual credit. Once enrolled in the course, the teacher will help you register for credit. In most cases there is a fee for college credit.

4. I can’t afford some of the class fees. Is there help?Yes. For students with demonstrated need there is assistance. See the bookkeeper.

5. I want to complain about something. Who can I talk to?If it’s a class issue, talk to your teacher. If it’s something else or you can’t get the class problem fixed, discuss the problem with your counselor. If nothing else works, stop by the front office and make an appointment with an administrator.

6. I got my first “B”. Will this ruin my chances to go to Stanford?No. Colleges and universities understand that no student is perfect. A “B” is a strong grade, especially in an advanced class. Admissions offices look at much more than grades. Test scores, student activities, community service, and other activities all have an impact on admissions. Today, the most elite schools look for well-rounded, strongly performing students with a wide range of experiences.

7. What is Common Core and will I get tested in it?Common Core (or Common Core State Standards-CCSS) are a collection of standards that have been adopted by 46 states and are becoming the basis of instruction and assessments at all levels of schools. Most of these standards align very closely with what is currently in place at TuHS. For the past two years, TuHS staff has been working to ensure that our courses are based on these standards. Our students will be prepared to take the Common Core test called the “Smarter Balanced Assessment”.

8. Why does TuHS do ACT testing for all students?TuHS and TTSD have been testing all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors on the appropriate level ACT tests. It all hap-pens on one day in late April and reports will be provided to students and parents. The primary reason for the testing is to collect data on student achievement, but the test has many benefits. In addition to showing students their individual achievement relative to classmates and students around the country, it provides planning information and juniors can use their performance for college and scholarship applications.

9. I have a problem with a grade in one of my classes. What steps do I take?First, talk to your teacher and try to problem solve on your own. Many times a grade can be impacted by a small problem or misunderstanding. Teachers want to resolve these issues rather than reporting a bad grade. If needed, have your parents contact the teacher for more information. If the problem remains unresolved, talk to your counselor or an administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions


Preguntas frecuentes1. ¿Donde puedo obtener ayuda para anotarme en las clases?Hable con su consejera. Ellas lo podrán aconsejar acerca de que clases tomar para alcanzar sus metas futuras. También lo pueden ayudar con el planeamiento para la universidad, como resolver problemas y problemas personales.

2. No soy un estudiante de IB Completo…¿ todavía puedo tomar clases IB?No necesita ser un estudiante del programa IB completo para anotarse en clases IB. Se anima a los estudiantes a anotarse en estas clases demandantes y muchas oficinas de admisión de la mayoría de las universidades ven con agrado a estas clases. Asegúrese que usted sabe acerca del prerrequisito. Si tiene preguntas sobre la clase, pregunte al maestro o a su consejera. El Coordinador IB pueden contestar preguntas de IB.

3. ¿Cómo obtengo crédito universitario por las clases?Tenemos un número de clases que les permiten a los estudiantes obtener crédito universitario. Mire la página 9 por más infor-mación. Además, la descripción de cursos de esta guía, le dirá si se ofrece crédito dual. Una vez que se inscribió en la clase, el maestro lo ayudara a registrarse por el crédito. En la mayoría de los casas hay un costo por el crédito universitario.

4. ¿Si no puedo pagar ese costo por las clases. Hay algún tipo de ayuda?Si, para aquellos estudiantes que demuestren la necesidad, hay asistencia. Vea al contador.

5. ¿Quiero presentar una queja acerca de algo. Con quien hablo?Si se trata de un problema con una clase, hable con su maestro. Si se trata de otra cosa o en el caso de que su problema con la clase no se solucione, hable con su consejera. Si nada de esto funciona, venga a la oficina central y haga una cita con un director.

6. ¿Obtuve mi primer “B”. Arruina esto mis posibilidades de asistir a Stanford?No. Los colegios y las universidades entienden que no hay estudiantes perfectos de solo A. Una “B” es una buena califi-cación, especialmente en clases avanzadas. Las oficinas de admisión miran mucho más que las calificaciones. Notas en exámenes, actividades estudiantiles, servicio comunitario y otras actividades también tienen impacto en las admisiones. Hoy, las universidades más elitistas buscan a estudiantes bien armados, con buen desempeño y con una amplia gama de experien-cias.

7. ¿Que son los estándares centrales comunes y como se me va a evaluar con ellos?Los estándares centrales comunes o Common Core, son un conjunto de estándares que han sido adoptados por 46 esta-dos y son la base de la instrucción y la evaluación en todos los niveles de las escuelas. La mayoría de estos estándares se alinean ajustadamente con lo que ya se ensena en TuHS. Durante los últimos dos año, los empleados de TuHS han estado trabajando para asegurarse que todas las clases se basan en estos estándares. Nuestros estudiantes estarán preparados para tomar el examen de Common Core, que se llama “Smarter Balance Assessment”.

8. ¿Por qué la TuHS toma el examen ACT a todos los estudiantes?TuHS y el distrito ha tomado este examen ACT a todos los estudiantes en los grados 9, 10 y 11 es decir Freshman, Sopho-mores, y Juniors al nivel correspondiente. Esto ocurre en un solo día al final de abril y los informes serán entregados a los estudiantes y a los padres. La razón primordial por tomar este examen es para obtener datos acerca del desempeño de nuestros estudiantes, pero además el examen tiene muchos beneficios. Ademas de mostrarle a los estudiantes como es su desempeño en relación a otros estudiantes dentro del país, también les provee con información de planeamiento y los estudi-antes en el grado 11, Juniors, pueden usar estos resultados al aplicar a universidades.

9. Tengo un problema con una calificación en una de mis clases. Que pasos debo tomar? Primero, hable con su maestro y trate de resolver el problema por si solo. Muchas veces una calificación se ve impactada por un pequeño problema o desentendimiento. Los maestros quieren resolver estos problemas antes que reportar una mala calificación. Si es necesario, haga que sus padres contacten al maestro para mayor información. Si el problema sigue sin resolverse contacte a su consejera o a un director.

High School Graduation Requirement Guidelines for Placement of Incoming Freshmen in a First-Year High School Language Class Success in a language strongly correlates to a student’s ability in his/her native language. We recommend that incoming freshmen have at least a B in eighth grade English to enroll in a language. It is our experience that students who did NOT earn an A/B in English as eighth graders are more successful if they enter a language class as sophomores. ELL students should talk to their counselors for proper placement.

University RequirementsCurrently, students can graduate from high school without taking a foreign language; however most four-year universities ask that students complete successfully (with at least C’s) the second year of a language as part of their core entrance requirements.

Some people say that race is no longer an issue in the United States. Is racism really gone, or has it just changed forms? Why does the topic of race often make people feel uncomfortable, afraid, guilty, or angry? How much do we really know about how racism impacts people of color and white people? Do we know how to talk about race? In this class we will explore these questions and the many aspects of race and racism in the U.S. as we reflect on our own experiences and learn from the lives of others. We will use historic and contemporary images, film/TV clips, internet resources, case studies, personal stories, and other activities to learn more and spark discussion about the important yet challenging issue of race. Grading is based on class participation, keeping up with class activities and self-reflec-tion, and a few small projects that will help you explore more on your own.
