Course Catalog 2019-2020

Hello, Lincoln Lynx! In this document you will find descriptions of the courses projected to be offered at Lincoln. This is not a static document and it will grow and change over the years as our students’ areas of interest and needs evolve. Courses with an asterisk are projected to be offered in 2019. The rest of courses listed will be offered in either 2020 and others in 2021 based on student need. This is the first rendition of the Lincoln Course Catalog and it will be updated prior to students selecting courses for the fall. We will likely add and or delete courses to meet the needs of the actual incoming students once we know enrollment and the students’ needs more accurately. Courses offered are aimed at challenging students academically; l encourage all students to pick an area to push themselves by opting into Honors or registering for Advanced Placement courses that will help prepare them for the rigors of career and college. As you review the course offerings, read the course descriptions carefully, making note of the important information such as course prerequisites and homework requirements. As you think about your classes keep in mind high school graduation requirements and your post-secondary aspirations. We look forward to supporting you. Ruth Medsker Principal

IMPORTANT POLICIES Scheduling: Lincoln High School students register for the following year’s classes in the spring. Both semesters’ courses are selected at this time. Students should choose courses carefully to meet graduation requirements and their High School and Beyond Plan. Schedule changes are limited and withdrawing from a course can result in a W or an E on the transcript. Grading System: Grading policy will be determined by Seattle Public Schools and is currently being discussed. This is the current district information: Grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+ and D indicate credit earned in a class. An E grade indicates course failure and results in no credit earned. If a student wishes to take a class for a Pass/No Pass grade, this must be requested by the fifth week of the semester and may be chosen for only one course per semester. Students who are withdrawn from a class after the fifth week of the semester will earn an “E” on their transcript for that course unless the withdrawal is due to a move to another school. Classes dropped after the 10th day of the semester but before the 5th week of the semester will result in a “W” on the student’s transcript. Incompletes are rarely given and must be completed within six school weeks of the end of the grading period or the Incomplete will become an E grade. All classes earn .50 semester credit per semester, with the exception of TA (teacher assistant) positions which earn .25 semester credit.

Report Cards and Progress Reports: Semester report cards are issued twice a year and distributed to students and families. Semester grades are posted to the official transcript. Student progress can be viewed in The Source throughout the semester. Weighted Class Rank: Class rank is an indicator requested by some colleges and universities, scholarship programs, and some employers. A weighted class rank system is intended to recognize students who take more rigorous academic courses. These include courses designated as Honors (H), Advanced Placement (AP), College in the High School (CIHS) and Running Start (HRS). Honors courses earn a half weighting point; AP, CIHS, and HRS courses earn a full weighting point. The weighted ranking process does not affect the GPA. The highest attainable GPA is 4.0 (WAC 180-57-050). Valedictorian(s) and Salutatorian(s) are based on cumulative weighted rank as of 1st semester senior year.

Lincoln High School Valedictorian/Salutatorian Policy Lincoln’s Valedictorian and Salutatorian Policy under development: These policies will include, but will not be limited to: GPA, Rigor of Courses, Citizenship and a minimum percentage of courses being taken on campus.

High School Credit for Middle School Courses: High School credit is available for some pre-approved middle school courses. Requests for credit must be received by the end of the student’s senior year or before a student withdraws from the Seattle School District. See your counselor for details.

Making Up a Required Course: If a student fails a required course, s/he generally must expect to take that course through an after school or summer school credit retrieval program if available, or through an accredited program outside of Lincoln High School. Please consult with your Counselor prior to enrolling in outside courses.

Course Fees: Some of our courses have suggested fees. Please see your Counselor if you have a financial hardship.

NCAA Athletic Eligibility: Students interested in participating in college athletics after high school need to be aware that additional academic courses are required for eligibility and not all courses are approved for NCAA eligibility. Student athletes must also register with the NCAA Eligibility Center, preferably during the junior year. Visit the NCAA website www.eligibilitycenter.org and see the Athletic Director or your Counselor for more information.

COLLEGE CREDIT OPTIONS at Lincoln High School

Advanced Placement (AP) courses: Students in AP courses may earn college credit and/or advanced placement in college if they perform well on AP exams given in May and if their college of choice accepts the AP exam for credit. College credit is not guaranteed but rather is determined by each individual college upon the student’s enrollment in that college. AP courses at Lincoln High School prepare students for these exams and offer a rigorous subject study available. Please note: AP offerings may vary from year to year depending on student interest and staffing. Prerequisites for AP courses are outlined in the course descriptions in this catalog. There is a fee for students taking the AP exams. Students should see the Lincoln High School Testing Coordinator if they need fee assistance.

College in the High School (CIHS): College and University partnership courses: The College in the High School program allows Lincoln High School students the opportunity to earn College/University credit for courses taken at Lincoln High School. Lincoln High School teachers use college curriculum, activities, texts, tests, and grading scales. For a reduced tuition fee, students who meet the grading criteria may purchase college credit. **Please note: As of this publication date, the Washington state legislature has determined that only 10th-12th grade students may purchase CIHS credit. This rule might change in the future to allow younger students to purchase credit, but this is currently not the case. Once we have added these courses, 9th grade students may be qualified to take CIHS courses, but they must be aware that, unless the rule is changed, they will not be allowed to purchase credit for these courses. For more information, see individual course descriptions in this catalog.

Running Start: This program for 11th and 12th graders allows students to take classes at the community college and earn high school and college credit simultaneously. Tuition is free for a maximum of 15 credits per quarter in college-level courses numbered 100 or higher. However, the number of college credits each student may take free of tuition costs is limited by the number of classes the student is concurrently taking at the high school. Students are responsible for tuition for pre-college courses (numbering below 100) and any credits that exceed their allowable limit. Students are responsible for the cost of books and transportation. Priority application deadline for fall term is May 1. For winter and spring term deadlines, please see the Counseling Center as these deadlines vary between colleges. Students who are interested in the Running Start program should visit the community college websites and make an appointment with their Lincoln High School counselor for more information. Please see the Counseling Center tab on the Lincoln High School website for steps to getting started in Running Start.

Skills Centers and City Campus Courses: Some Skills Center and City Campus courses can result in community college credit. See specific course descriptions below in the Special Programs section.
