College and Career Readiness Program

You are assigned to your counselor by your last name. Your school counselor is there to help you be successful in school – in every way possible. Your school counselor can:

• Help you with personal and emotional issues • Problem solving and making decisions • Planning for high school graduation and beyond • Identify programs and services to help you when obstacles get in the way of your success in school. • Guide and counsel you in choosing classes that challenge you and connect to your abilities, interests,

and goals. • Meet with you individually to help you develop your personal College and Career Readiness Plan

(CCRP). • Deliver a comprehensive program of services to you and all students in your school through

individual planning meetings (CCRP), • Classroom guidance instruction and activities • Responding to your specific needs.

Your CCR Planning can be a process and a tool you use, to outline graduation requirements, to explore classes and programs connected to your interests, to plan for education and training after high school, and to get information about college admission and scholarship information. The Counseling Center is open from 7:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. We encourage you to call and make an appointment (385) 646-5361.

College and Career Planning

All students need to plan for education and training after high school (job training and college). College is now defined as 1, 2, or 4 years of education and training after high school. College can be a community college, a Utah College of Applied Technology, a private technical college, and/or 4-year colleges and universities. All students need to prepare to be college and career ready! It is never too early to start planning for your college education and job training. Begin as early as you can with a goal in mind so you can focus on what you need to do – classes you need to take to be prepared for your bright and compelling future. A positive future lies ahead when you take school seriously and plan for education and training after high school graduation.

Planning for High School Graduation

As you plan for high school, you need to focus on graduation requirements. Graduation requirements are a set of core classes that all students must take. The Granite School District requires that each student earn 27 units to graduate from high school. These units begin to accrue in ninth grade. Because of the rigorous schedule that is required of students, it is critical that each student earn all of the required units each year in order to stay on-track to graduate. Students can earn seven or eight units of credit in 9th grade and eight units of credit each in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Most students will graduate with more credits than they need, and that is great! Graduation requirements are minimal requirements, so most students maximize their high school experience by taking college prep courses, concurrent enrollment courses, GTI courses and more! Did you know? Utah high school students are maximizing their education and learning opportunities and opting for a rigorous high school experience. They do this by:

• Participating in concurrent enrollment courses and options • Graduating early and utilizing the Centennial Scholarship option • Graduating from high school with an associate's degree and qualifying for the New Century

Scholarship • Taking courses that qualify for the Regent’s Scholarship • Participating in early college programs in both community colleges and applied technology

colleges • Taking and passing skills certification tests connected to CTE courses • Participating in work-based learning opportunities (internships, job shadowing, etc.) • Volunteering their time in their communities and learning the importance and the value of

service • Accessing courses through the Electronic High School or other online programs

Parents, teachers, and especially your school counselor can help you with the planning process. If you want to take advantage of everything available, you have to plan. Use the CCR Planning process to your advantage and work with your school counselor to get important information, advice, and suggestions for your plan. Use interest and aptitude survey results to help you make decisions. Your CCR Planning meetings will become very important to your planning process. Discuss your plans with your parents. Get all the help you can. Remember that you are the most important ingredient in planning for high school graduation and beyond. If you take time to plan, you will be prepared to take advantage of all of the options described above.

Page 9 of 89 REGISTRATION Counselors help students plan their educational program for high school and beyond. Proper planning and registration are worked out in group and individual meetings. It is important that the students gain a realistic concept of themselves in order to develop their educational plans. Counselors are trained to help students in this endeavor. Students plan and build a schedule according to their needs, interests, and abilities. POST HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING – CCR Planning All students should use the guidance services of the school in planning for the future. Materials are available in the Career Center and Counseling Center on vocations, schools, training programs, and other occupational information. High school programs should be planned to prepare the student for his/her place in the post high school world. Orientation and information meetings are held throughout high school life on this important topic. Duplicated material is distributed at intervals to keep students informed. The counseling area has college information for colleges within the state and provides service in submitting transcripts to colleges upon the student’s request. It is the student’s responsibility to take advantage of these services. SCHOLARSHIPS/FAFSA The Counseling Center, Career Center, and College Advisor makes every effort to disseminate scholarship information via catalogues, bulletins, displays, resource speakers, duplicated material, group meetings, individual conferences, etc. Students must assume the basic responsibility for making application and obtaining references, providing financial responsibility forms, personal data sheets and other information requested by various issuing organizations and schools. The Counseling Center and Career Center maintains many needed forms for these purposes, but the students must take the initiative. Experience indicates that the more aggressive the student is in seeking for and applying for scholarships on a widespread basis, the more successful he/she will be in receiving help. Students should begin checking on the possibilities of financial assistance and/or scholarships in the fall of their senior year, probably about October 1. Much misinformation exists about scholarships. Large scholarships are rare; basing college plans on the hope of winning a large scholarship is not realistic. Although we frequently have one in ten students receiving some scholarship help, this does not amount to more than one or two hundred dollars, in the average case. High school grades are the most important factor in receiving scholarships. Students seriously concerned in achieving a scholarship must maintain an excellent record throughout high school – schools review grades 9-12. Establishing financial need is the most important factor. Most scholarship applicants must file a complete, confidential statement. Admissions officers also examine extra-curricular records, evidence of leadership, citizenship, and special talents. Students should inform their counselor of their intent to seek scholarships. Students should study the scholarship materials available in the counseling office. Students should also gather the necessary references and letters of recommendation in January and February of their senior year.

Page 10 of 89 What is the FAFSA? The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the first step in the financial aid process. You use the FAFSA to apply for federal student aid, such as grants, loans and work-study. In addition most colleges use the information from the FAFSA to award nonfederal aid. The counseling office will also provide information to interested students concerning: Concurrent enrollment programs where students take college credit courses while attending high school. Early graduation programs are available.

HEALTH INFORMATION

As required by policy of the State Board of Health, all enrolled students must have, on site, with the school, a complete record of their immunizations. These are available from the board of health. A second MMR shot is required before entering the senior year. It is the policy of the school not to dispense medication to students at school. We advise students who are taking prescriptions that they bring to school only the amount of medication to be taken during the day. Full bottles or packages of medications should be left at home. HOME INSTRUCTION When a student has experienced a serious illness, injury, or surgical procedure and is unable to attend school for a long period, the school will provide a teacher to instruct the student at home. If this service is needed, please contact your student’s counselor.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

IMPORTANCE OF CAREFULLY CHOOSING COURSES Teachers will be hired and classes scheduled based on the requests you make on your registration. You are expected to become familiar with requirements for graduation and the various subject offerings necessary to fill the requirements. Opportunities for students to adjust schedules will be made available during Class Change Day once each semester for a $5.00 fee. After Class Change Day, all class changes requested by students are subject to the $5.00 charge and may not be honored. No changes will be made after the 2nd week of any term. Class changes will not be made to avoid a failing grade at midterm. You should seek the advice and counsel from teachers, counselors, and parents as you make your selections. DURATION OF CLASSES Hunter High School offers classes to last for a full year that cover both semesters as well as semester classes which only cover one semester (½ year). Students requesting the respective courses must understand that they are intended to cover the entire time period allotted. An enrollment of at least six weeks is required in order to receive credit for the term in question for any class. Class changes cannot be made after the second week of any term or the student will not be able to fulfill the enrollment time requirement for credit. FAILED CLASSES Due to increased graduation requirements, great care should be taken to avoid failure of required classes. Any failed required class must be made up and credit earned outside of the regular day school. Credit from sources outside the Day School program is limited and must adhere to specific guidelines. LIMITATION OF CREDIT The Board of Education has determined that certain limits be placed upon certain credit to be earned. They are: If a student has earned credit with a passing grade in a class, he/she cannot repeat the class for credit. The student may repeat the class for a higher grade. However, both grades will appear on the transcript and be factored into the GPA. No credit will be earned for the repeated class. No more than one unit of credit can be earned as a teacher’s assistant or office aide in Grades 10-12. Any student desiring to be an aide must have a GPA of 3.0. No more than four units of credit can be earned in work experience programs in Grades 11-12. Students cannot receive credit in any course with lower proficiency requirements than a course in the same area for which credit has already been received. BASIC SUBJECT REQUIREMENTS All students must, at all times, be registered in at least three (3) classes from the areas of: English, Social Studies, Math, Science, or Foreign Language. CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENTS Earning Citizenship Credit - Students earn citizenship through reasonable behavior and acceptable attendance. Teachers must issue a “0” if a student has two or more unexcused absences, and/or has been

Page 12: Hunter High School 2015 – 2016 - Granite School District › ... › Registration-Booklet-2015-20… · GRANITE SCHOOL DISTRICT . 2015 - 2016 CALENDAR . School Begins Wednesday,

Page 12 of 89 tardy four times. All high school students in the Granite School District must maintain a Citizenship Point Average of 2.0 to meet graduation requirements successfully. Appeals Procedure - Students wishing to appeal “0” grades must do so directly with the issuing teacher within nine weeks of the end of the previous term. There will be a citizenship enhancement class (detention) that students may attend to improve their citizenship point average. COLLEGE AND CAREER – YOUR FUTURE! What is College Ready? College today means much more than a 4-year degree at a university. Being "college ready" means being prepared for any postsecondary education or training experience, including study at 2 - and 4 -year institutions leading to a college credential (i.e. a certificate, license, associate's or bachelor's degree). Being ready for college means that a high school graduate has the English and mathematics knowledge and skills necessary to qualify for and succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing college courses without the need for remedial coursework. What is Career Ready? In today's economy, a "career" is not just a job. A career gives you a family-supporting wage, pathways to advancement, and requires college education and training. Some may be able to get a job with only a high school diploma but that may not guarantee job advancement or mobility. Being ready for a career means that you graduate from high school with the English and mathematics knowledge and skills needed to qualify for and succeed in the postsecondary education and necessary training for your chosen career. Why Plan Now? What you study and learn in elementary, junior high and in high school will prepare you to be college and career ready. It's never too soon to start thinking about your future and what you need to do in school now to be ready. Begin as early as you can with goals in mind, so you can focus on what you need to do and classes you need to take (in junior high and high school) to be prepared for your bright and compelling college and career future. COLLEGE EDUCATION = OPPORTUNITIES All students need to plan for college after high school. College has a new definition! It is now defined as 1, 2, 4, or more years of education and training after high school. College can be a community college, a Utah College of Applied Technology, a private technical college, etc., where you can earn a 1-year certificate or diploma or a 2-year associate's degree. College is also an institution where you can earn a 4-year bachelor’s degree, a master's degree, or an advanced professional degree. College education and training will be the best investment you will ever make. Your earning power will increase as you learn. People with the most education usually make the highest wages, particularly if they study math and science. A positive future lies ahead when you take school seriously and plan for education and training after high school graduation. All students need to prepare to be college and career ready!

Page 13 of 89 Top 5 Reasons to Go to College:

1. A better paving job -- On average college graduates earn as much as 65% more than high school graduates. Most students want the best paying job they can get.

2. A more secure future -- Statistics show that people with higher levels of education and advanced training tend to have better job security and stay ahead of unemployment curves.

1. Respect -- Going to college and earning a certificate, a diploma, or a degree will help you feel better about yourself and also help you more responsibility and get promotions at work.

2. More choices -- Most jobs today require specialized training that you can only get in college. That means you will need 1, 2,4, or more years of education and training after high school to be prepared for jobs in your future.

1. Be the first! -- Are you hesitant because no one in your family has gone to college? Start a tradition! Education and training in college can have a positive impact on you and your entire family.

HONORS, ADVANCED PLACEMENT & CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS Accelerated students are advised to plan a course of studies to include the 10th and 11th grade Honor classes, which lead to completion of the Advanced Placement courses in the 12th grade. Upon completion of the courses, students should plan to take the applicable AP exams, which offer college credit for passing scores. Extensive outside preparation is required in these classes so students should plan accordingly. Students who participated in Gifted and Talented programs in the junior high schools should register for courses within this program. In addition to AP classes allowing for college credit, concurrent enrollment classes offer college credit in addition to high school credit. These classes are offered through Hunter High and Salt Lake Community College (though college credit will transfer to other Utah public colleges and universities). Concurrent enrollment classes are offered to 11th and 12th graders in many of our academic departments as well as our art, business, and technology departments. SPECIAL PROGRAMS & COURSES There are many programs available to selected students that will be scheduled as a class and credit received. Due to their special nature, they are not listed as general offerings but as students qualify for them proper scheduling will take place. Among these are programs such as: Student Government Cheerleading Drill Team JV Cheerleaders Office Aide Library Aide (Pass/Fail only) Teacher Aide/Lab Assistants (Pass/Fail only) Please note that many of these programs do not assign a grade, only a Pass/Fail grade and are not factored in GPA computations. DRIVER EDUCATION Grades 10, 11, and 12 - First Semester (64201), Second Semester (64202). Fee $140.00 per semester. Driver Education has some very specific requirements. A student must be 16 years old on or by: 1. September 30, 2014 for summer Driver Education

Page 14: Hunter High School 2015 – 2016 - Granite School District › ... › Registration-Booklet-2015-20… · GRANITE SCHOOL DISTRICT . 2015 - 2016 CALENDAR . School Begins Wednesday,

Page 14 of 89 2. February 15, 2015 for Fall Semester Driver Education, or 3. June 30, 2015 for Spring Semester Driver Education. Please do not try to “fudge” on the dates listed. The State of Utah requires dates to be verified. Students can only take Driver Education during the specific times listed above. NOTICE: Students may take Driver’s Education only one semester during high school. If a student fails the class, they may make up the failed class only during the summer sessions. These will be the only two opportunities a student has to pass Driver’s Education in the public schools. SPECIAL EDUCATION Whenever possible, special education students are registered in areas of study within the full range of classes available to the general student. Special education classes are offered in academic and vocational/transitional areas. Special education students that are registered for the Jones Center (job readiness training) will have a four-period assignment at the center. This schedule includes bus transportation time. Special education students and teachers are guided, and limited, by the Individual Education Plan (IEP), which is developed by the teacher, student, parent, and administrator. Class scheduling is accomplished with the assistance of the student’s assigned counselor. Special education students will be programmed to meet all graduation requirements, including citizenship; any exceptions must be noted on the IEP. WORK EXPERIENCE & HOME RELEASE Home release is not offered at Hunter High School. It is Hunter’s recommendation that students should carry a full eight-period schedule since the increasing demand in the job market requires students to be better prepared. We encourage our students to expand their marketable skills by taking classes related to their career area. If a student has a desire for home release, the student is to be encouraged instead, to investigate Early Graduation options. Related work based service credit (to a maximum of three {3.0} credits) will be accepted towards graduation. This credit can be received if the student takes and passes a course directly related to the work experience while in school and should be related to the student’s CCRP for hours worked following their junior year.

SCIENCE Every student is required to take three (3) years of science during Grades 9-12 in order to meet state graduation requirements. The first (2) years of science MUST be from the Science Core classes. The third year can be from the 3rd Year Science or Elective Science Category. Students who want to pursue post-high school education should check with the institutions that they want to attend for specific science entrance requirements. Most in-state institutions require or recommend three years of science for entrance: one year from the biological sciences (Biology or Human Biology), one year from Chemistry or Physics or Physics: Principles of Technology). Science is an inclusive field of inquiry -- not just for those who will seek science related careers. In a world of rapidly expanding knowledge and technology, all young people must gain the skills needed to understand and function responsibly and successfully in the modern world. Science is a way of knowing, a process for gaining knowledge and understanding the natural world. The secondary years provide opportunities for students to begin to organize and synthesize concepts and processes for independent and cooperative application. Students will observe, inquire, question, formulate and test hypotheses, analyze data and report and evaluate findings.
