TECHNOLOGY USE IN LEARNING, MOTIVATION AND RECOGNITION

Seminole County Public Schools believes technology is a valuable educational tool. All classroom teachers use technology as an instructional tool. Some examples of such activities are:

• Use of the Internet to access encyclopedias, magazines, the district’s media/library catalog, web sites for educational projects, on-line district and state classes also to conduct research in preparation for a project or presentation.

• Students are photographed or videotaped for the purposes of daily school news broadcasts and yearbooks. Photographs or videos of students are also placed on school/district web pages as a form of recognition for special achievements, activities, projects and as a motivation to be creative.

• Student works are published on the Web (Internet) to share stories, poems and other creative works with other students , the school community and to provide motivation for writing.

If you wish to have your student excluded from any of the preceding activities, exclusion (opt-out) forms are available on the district website.

NOTICE TO STUDENTS AND PARENTSIn an effort to provide educational enhancements to students beyond the curriculum routinely offered, donations in certain courses historically have been collected in Seminole County Public Schools on a voluntary contribution basis. Every encouragement is given to students and parents to assist Seminole High School in continuing the practice of course embellishment that these fees make possible. While such assistance is a practical requirement to maintain current practices, no student shall be denied the opportunity either to take any course or to participate fully in all aspects of a course in which donations are sought. Thank you for your understanding and for your commitment to excellence.

***Summer School Information***June 3 - June 19 First SessionJune 23 -July17 Second Session( No classes on 6/30-7/4)Summer school may be offered to students who need to take courses for remediation. Any student who earned a “D” or “F” may remediate that course for higher grade.***Please note Summer School is for Remediation only.

WAIVERS(Please see high school guidance counselor regarding the waiv-er/substitution options. Students using a waiver or substitution may need to substitute other courses to meet the required num-ber of credits for graduation)

MARCHING BAND Upon completion, with a grade of “C” or better, of one se-mester (first semester) in an official marching band class (Band I-VI) or in a physical activity class that requires participation in marching band activities as an extracurricular activity, may satisfy one-half (.5) credit of the one credit physical education graduation requirement. Students must still take and pass the .5 credit of Personal Fitness. This waiver may NOT be combined with the waiver for Personal Fitness through athletic partici-pation. Marching band season is the first semester of the year only. No credit is earned with this substitution. The student must substitute an elective credit to satisfy the required credits for graduation.

DANCEStudents who complete one semester of dance satisfy the 1/2 credit in physical education OR 1/2 credit in performing art (may not count for both requirements). This may not be used to satisfy the Personal Fitness requirement or the requirement for adapted physical education under an IEP or 504 plan.

ATHLETIC PARTICIPATIONStudents who participate in interscholastic sports at the junior varsity or varsity level for 2 years (2 full seasons) and pass the competency test on personal fitness with a grade of “C” or better shall satisfy the 1/2 credit of Personal Fitness and the 1/2 credit of elective physical education. Students must not have taken or be enrolled in Personal Fitness to be eligible for the waiver.

JROTC/Performing Fine Arts/Physical Education:Completion of two years in a ROTC class, a signifi-cant component of which is drills, shall satisfy the one credit requirement in physical education (NOT PER-SONAL FITNESS) and the one credit in performing arts.

JROTC/Marine Science IUpon completion of the JROTC program (Air Forces, Navy or Coast Guard), including Maritime Science I,II,III and IV, students may substitute on a curriculum equivalency basis, one JROTC credit for Marine Science I to satisfy one of four science requirements needed for graduation.

JROTC/Physical ScienceUpon completion of the JROTC Naval Science I,II, and III or the JROTC Aerospace Science I,II,III, students may substitute on a curriculum basis, one JROTC credit for Physical Science to satisfy one of the four science requirements needed for graduation.

ACCELERATION PROGRAMS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Florida provides many ways for students to earn college credit for materials learned in high school, such as advanced place-ment, dual enrollment, credits by examination, and the Inter-national Baccalaureate Program. Most of these programs are available free or at minimal cost to the students.

Advanced Placement ProgramThe College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) program is a nationwide program consisting of over 30 college-level courses and exams in subjects ranging from art to statistics offered at participating high schools. Students earning a “qualifying” grade on an AP exam can earn credit or advanced placement for their efforts. According to the College Board, “. . .more than 2,900 universities and colleges worldwide grant credit, ad-vanced placement, or both to students who have performed sat-isfactorily on the exams, and approximately 1,400 institutions grant sophomore standing to students who have demonstrated their competence in three or more of these exams.” (College Board 2000) Studies have shown that students, who complete a solid academic core, including advanced courses, are more likely to be successful in college. Many school counselors have found that AP courses provide the challenging content neces-sary to engage all types of learners. For additional information, visit: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/

International Baccalaureate ProgramThe International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma program is a rig-orous pre-university course of study, leading to internationally standardized examinations. The program is designed as a com-prehensive two-year curriculum that allows its graduates to ful-fill requirements of many different nations’ education systems. As with the AP and dual enrollment programs, students com-pleting IB courses and exams are eligible for postsecondary ed-ucation credit. The award of credit is based on scores achieved on IB exams. Approximately 40 Florida high schools currently participate in the IB program, with the students participating at no cost. For more information on the IB program, visit the Inter-national Baccalaureate Organization at www.ibo.org.

General Information

Seminole High School Credit Reinstatement Procedures

I. Credit Denial CommitteeIf a student passes a course but loses credit due to absences, he/she may apply for reinstatement. For reinstatement consider-ation, the student must provide the Credit Denial Committee with documentation regarding the following: hospitalization, court appearance, funeral, and extended/chronic illness and/or other extenuating circumstances. Please be reminded that stu-dents must turn in excused notes for excused absences within five (5) days. If absences were not excused and the student feels as though he/she has the proper documentation he/she may ap-ply for credit reinstatement through the Credit Denial Commit-tee.

The Credit Denial Committee will meet at the end of each se-mester to review any appeals that are brought forward. Students should get a Credit Reinstatement Form from the front office or guidance, fill out the form, attach proper documentation, and re-turn all to Mr. McCants in Renegade Hall. This must be turned in no later than two (2) weeks prior to the end of the semester for which the credit denial is being appealed.

II. Credit Reinstatement Summer School ClassStudents who pass courses but lose credit due to absences may reinstate lost credits by successfully completing the Credit Re-instatement summer school course. However, if the student has failed a class, they must retake that class (if offered) during summer school and not the Credit Reinstatement class. Taking a failed course and passing that same course during summer school will also reinstate lost credits in other classes due to non-attendance. A student may not take a summer school course for acceleration or an OJT type of class to reinstate lost credits due to absences.

Note: The first semester of summer school will only reinstate a first semester of lost credits, a second semester of summer school will only reinstate a second semester of lost credits, and both semesters of summer school will reinstate both se-mesters of lost credits.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT FOR DRIVING PRIVILEGE

Pursuant to section 322.091, Florida Statutes, any student between 14 and 18 years of age who accumulates 15 unexcused absences in any 90 calendar day period is ineligible to obtain or retain driving privileges unless that minor: 1. is enrolled in public school, non-public school, or home education program and satisfies relevant attendance requirements,2. has received a high school diploma, high school equiva-lency diploma, special diploma, or certificate of high school completion, 3. is enrolled in a study course in preparation for test of General Education Development and meets relevant at-tendance requirements, 4. is enrolled in other educational activities approved by school board and satisfies relevant at-tendance requirements, 5. has been issued certificate of ex-emption according to section 232.06, Florida Statutes, or 6. has received a hardship waiver, pursuant to section 322.091, Florida Statutes.

SEMINOLE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL’S DIPLOMA PATHWAYS

In the spring of 2013 the Florida Legislature created new diploma options for the students of Florida. In doing so, they have offered students more choice as well as an opportunity to align their education to their future college and career plans. In Seminole County we refer to these new choices as Diploma Pathways. We call them Pathways because we believe that students should use their time in high school to embark on their own personal Pathway to success. Students may now choose a Pathway that will result in a standard high school diploma, a high school diploma connected with industry certification, or a diploma designed to rigorously prepare them for the university setting. In the chart below you will find the Diploma Pathways and the corresponding expectations associated with each one. In addition to those offered by the state of Florida, Seminole County also offers the Scholars with Distinction Pathway. This very rigorous Pathway will challenge even the most talented and dedicated students to an even higher level of academic accomplishment.Seminole County will start each and every student on the Scholars Pathway. We want to ensure that students are setting their academic goals high as they begin high school. Through performance and self-selection, students and their families may opt to change Pathways as they progress through high school. Our goal is to have all students qualify to earn a Scholars Pathway diploma. In the end, whether it is a Standard Pathway diploma, a Merit Designation Pathway (Industry Certification) diploma, a Scholars Pathway diploma, or a Scholars’ with Distinction Pathway diploma, we want every student in Seminole County to exit our school system as a graduate.Your administrators and guidance counselors are available to provide further guidance on what each of the Pathways requires.

The Florida Legislature is authorized to change eligi-bility and funding require-ments.

Award AmountA student may only receive funding for only one award (FAS,FMS, or GSV). The highest award earned by the student will be selected.*Award amounts will differ at quarter or clock hour in-stitutions.

Grade Point Average (GPA)Weighting for more chal-lenging courses is pre-scribed by law as .5 per course per year.(Note: GPA’s are not rounded)

Required CreditsSee the CCT on the Bright Futures Web site to identify courses that count toward each awarded level.

Public Community Colleges Entrance Requirements

Admission to associate degree programs requires a standard high school diploma, a high school equivalency diploma (GED), select certificates of completion, or previously demonstrated competency in college-credit postsecondary course work. Home-schooled students should submit an affidavit signed by the student’s parent or legal guardian attesting that the student has completed a home education program that includes the 4-3-3-3 curriculum. It is strongly advised that students wishing to enroll in a community college AA, AS, or AAS degree program take the same college preparatory courses designated by the State University System (SUS).

Failure to complete the college prep curriculum does not preclude admission to community college; however, students who lack this preparation may need to take college-preparatory (remedial) classes after high school graduation and before enrollment in college-credit courses. All entering freshmen in AA, AS, and AAS degree programs take a placement test. Students who do not pass the placement test are assigned to remedial, non-degree credit instruction offered by the college. Once the student passes the course and an institutionally developed test, he/she can enroll in a degree program.

Students should contact the community college of their choice to determine the test scores the public (or private) community college requires for placement in college credit course work.

Seminole County Public Schools established the Academy of Health Careers at Seminole High in the fall of 1993. Al-though the Academy is located at Seminole High School, it is a district-wide program available to all Seminole County students, regardless of their attendance zone.

The Academy of Health Careers offers a comprehensive preparation and uniquely relevant curriculum for students

who plan to pursue a career as a health care professional. The academic courses are combined with the opportunity to gain the initial “ building blocks” of health care through Health Science education. Approximately 99% of Academy graduates go on to post-secondary education. The Academy of Health Careers has been recognized by the Department of Education as one of the Best Practice Academies in the State of Florida.

The Academy of Health Career’s success is achieved through a strong partnership with more than fifty business part-ners from the health care industry, the community and post-secondary schools.

The U. S. Bureau of Labor has identified eight of today’s ten fastest growing careers as being in the field of health care. The health care industry is presently suffering from a shortage of qualified professionals. This translates into an opportunity for rewarding and secure employment for students who are interested in health care. Some of those career opportunities are physical therapy, respiratory therapy, emergency medicine, nursing, medicine, radiology, medical office systems management, medical records, health care support, and veterinary medicine.

ADMISSION PROCESS

The Academy will foster an open-entry concept which will en-sure equal accessibility to all students in the district. Incoming 9th grade students in Seminole County who are interested in pursuing careers in health care will be eligible for admission. To be eligible for consideration to be admitted to the Academy of Health Science, a student must be completing the 8th grade (or have successfully completed the 8th grade) and be eligible to enter the 9th grade. Students must also reside in Seminole County.

Students must submit an application by December 1, 2013.

Application packets will be distributed to every eighth grade student in the county at each Seminole County middle school in the fall of 2009. Thereafter, application materials may be ob-tained from the Academy office, guidance departments in each of the district’s middle schools and the Choices Department at the Seminole County Educational Support Center.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN CURRICULUM FOR ACADEMY STUDENTS?

The Academy offers a focused relevant curriculum for students interested in pursing a career in health care. Some of the unique differences include:

* A curriculum that integrates health care topics, issues, and content in academic courses.* Health Science courses taught freshman through senior years.* Combined academic courses that eliminate the compartmental-ization of subjects and help students make connections between subject areas and what they are learning and real life. Combin-ing or integrating of courses gives students the opportunity to pursue topics in greater depth and to see the relationship of one subject to another. Students earn credit for two subjects in the same amount of time normally earned in one course.

The goal of the Academy is to combine the teaching of theory with application so that today’s students are better prepared to meet the challenges of the future. With the 1993-94 school year, Seminole High School embarked upon an education reform which we believe will set a standard for statewide instruction for students of the Academy of Health Careers.

ACADEMIC STANDARDSStudents must maintain a minimum of 2.5 grade point average and earn no semester grade below a C.

THE PRE-INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE/INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program is a rigorous pre-university course of study that is designed to meet the needs of the highly motivated college-bound student. The IB curriculum is a traditional liberal arts curriculum incorporating humanities, mathematics and science. In addition, strong emphasis is placed on international understand-ing, responsible citizenship and lifelong learning. The IB Program prepares students to earn an internationally recognized diploma that is honored by colleges and universities throughout the world.

The Pre IB curriculum in grades 9 and 10 consists of accelerated honors level courses designed to prepare students to enter the formal IB Program offered in grades 11 and 12. The IB curriculum is divided into Higher Level courses and Standard Level courses taken during grades 11 and 12. Both Higher level and Standard level courses are taken at college level. In order to achieve the full IB diploma, students must successfully complete the program requirements and pass international examinations in a minimum of three Higher Level and three Standard Level subjects. Because students must become proficient in six academically demanding areas, including a foreign language, they hold a distinct advan-tage in gaining admission to competitive colleges or universities of their choice.

Also required in the grades 11 and 12 IB curriculum are the completion of an independent 4000-word Extended Essay on a research subject of the student’s choice, participation in 150 hours of creativity, action, and community service, and completion of “Theory of Knowledge,” a course unique to the IB that stimulates reflection on the knowledge and experience of students both in and outside the classroom.
