Manhattan High School Information About Manhattan-Ogden Public Schools Manhattan-Ogden Public School District 383 (USD383) reaches academic excellence through nine elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. USD 383 also offers preschool and adult learning opportunities. Our faculty, staff, administration and Board of Education are dedicated to providing an academically challenging and enriching educational experience for all children in a safe environment. The mission of the Manhattan-Ogden Public School District is to educate each student to be a contributing citizen in a changing, diverse society. Manhattan is located 9 miles north of Interstate-70 and 100 miles west of Kansas City. Manhattan is also home to Kansas State University, which lends a tradition of support for academic and cultural achievement. The Manhattan-Ogden Public Schools are fully accredited by the Kansas State Department of Education and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. About Manhattan High School Manhattan High School is a comprehensive 6A, four-year high school. Freshmen are housed on the East Campus. Sophomores, juniors and seniors are housed on the West campus. The two buildings are located approximately one mile apart. Athletic competition is available in 14 sports and over 35 club opportunities. Manhattan High School’s mission is to provide all students with opportunities to gain knowledge and skills necessary to progress with their educational and career goals. About Our Symbol Prior to 1940, MHS sports teams were called a variety of nicknames, such as the Blue Devils, Junior Wildcats and the Blues. The “M Club,” which was an organization of high school athletes, organized a contest to select an official school symbol, and the Indian was selected on March 8, 1940. According to oral tradition, the selection was made to honor Frank Prentup, a MHS teacher and coach who was of Iroquois descent. The symbol is currently used to recognize the Native American heritage of this community. The official logo, (printed below) was designed by former MHS teacher, Brent Yancy, who is also a Native American.

The Importance of the High School Curriculum

At most of the 1,500 four-year accredited colleges in the country, the difficulty of being admitted is governed by a simple principle of supply and demand. If a college has a number of applicants but only has to accept a small number to fill its freshman class, the college can be highly selective. Conversely, if the college must take most of its applicants to fill the spaces available, the institution cannot be very selective. A college’s selectivity may not be important to you when you make your choice. In any case, the best college for you matches your desires, goals, objectives, abilities and development. Your high school curriculum is crucial as you focus on finding the best match in a college. It is also key to college admission departments when they evaluate candidates. Criteria for college admission vary greatly. However, all colleges focus on the rigor and quality of your high school curriculum. Admission personnel judge “rigor” and “quality” by evaluating the importance of the academic subject matter in a course, the grades you make in those courses, and the level of difficulty of your courses, and the rank in class that results from the grades you have achieved and the program you have taken. Generally, colleges now prefer a traditional and classical college preparatory curriculum that includes the following areas:

o English (literature and composition courses)

o Mathematics (Algebra I and higher)

o Science (laboratory courses)

o Social Studies

o World Language

All colleges also look favorably on enrichment courses when they supplement a strong academic program. Career & Technical Education, Fine Arts and Performing Arts all provide important electives for Manhattan High students who wish to enhance their course of study. Different types of institutions of higher education have general requirements unique to their classification. Classifications include public universities, private four-year colleges, highly selective colleges, community colleges and technical colleges. The more selective a college, the more that college can demand in academic achievement. Minimum course requirements for entrance are shown in the following list. Use the academic prerequisites only as general minimum guidelines. Many colleges look for candidates who take the more rigorous program and achieve successfully. Because college expectations may change from year to year, obtain specific information directly from the college or from your counselor.

Advanced Placement Courses

AP classes are college-level courses offered in English, Math, Science, Social Studies, World Language, and Art. AP is not just a test; it’s an experience. The work you do in AP will help you develop skills and study habits that will be vital in college. Colleges recognize that applicants with AP experiences are better prepared for the demands of college courses. Admissions officers are aware of the difficulty of AP courses and exams and sending them your AP Exam scores can only be a positive step toward potential admission into competitive colleges. Based on the results of the AP exam, college credit may be awarded by participating colleges and universities. Rigor of AP Courses Compared with other high school classes, AP courses are more demanding. You will read, write, analyze material, synthesize ideas, solve problems, and evaluate at a rigorous level. AP classes are comparable to college courses. The skills you develop in AP courses, critical reading, analyzing data sets, synthesizing evidence to develop new insights, will equip you for lifelong learning. Should I take an AP course and risk a lower grade? You will receive a weighted grade. MHS policy will give you .03 weighted GPA bonus for every .5 credit earned. Secondly, colleges know that all high school courses are not equal. Their evaluation of student grades focuses as much on the quality of the courses as the grades received. Finally, an AP course gives you an opportunity to learn a subject in greater depth and helps you develop skills that will be critically important to successfully study in college. What do I need to succeed in AP? You need to be willing and able. “Willing” means motivated to study and learn on the college level. If you are committed to participating actively in an AP class and doing the out-of-class assignments, you have met a major prerequisite for success.

Concurrent & Dual Credit from Accredited Colleges & Universities (Questions about concurrent and dual courses can be answered by visiting with our

Career and College Readiness Counselor C-010C)

Concurrent Courses are postsecondary courses offered through a partnership with an accredited postsecondary institution, taught

during the school day, within our building, and taught by eligible and approved high school faculty. Students will receive both high school and college credit.

The grade earned will remain on the student’s permanent college transcript.

Courses taught through Manhattan Area Technical College (MATC) meet or exceed the learning outcomes and competencies specified

by the Kansas Core Outcomes project as sanctioned by the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR). The general education courses transfer

to schools governed by KBOR. Students are encouraged to check the transferability of all concurrent and dual courses if planning to

attend a private or an out of state college or university.

Students must have an excellent attendance record and be a sophomore, junior or senior.

College Algebra and English Composition 1 require a passing score on the ACCUPLACER exam or an ACT cut score in the specific

content area. CNA requires a passing CASAS reading score. Please see the College & Career Counselor for these specific scores.

To be eligible to take for concurrent courses the student must have a minimum GPA of 2.5.

Approval for additional courses will depend on the grades earned on prior MATC courses.

Students will receive a weighted grade, .03 weighted GPA bonus for every .5 credit earned.

Tuition, books and supply fees will be the student’s responsibility, (Tuition for Excel in CTE courses will be waived and books may be provided in the classroom)

Some courses have a minimum enrollment of eight to be offered. Manhattan High School offers the following concurrent credit courses through a memorandum of understanding with Manhattan Area Technical College (MATC): * denotes Excel in CTE tuition free college courses

Dual Credit Courses are similar to concurrent courses except in the location or means of how the class is administered. They are postsecondary

courses from an accredited college or university where the student will receive both high school and college credit. The student attends college classes in person on the college campus either during the school day or after school hours, or the student takes the course online either during the school day or after hours.

Students wanting to take a dual credit course must make arrangements through the MHS Career and College Readiness Counseling Office, C-010C. Preapproved Dual Credit classes, from an accredited institution, can be added to your transcript with a weighted grade, .03 weighted GPA bonus for every .5 credit earned. (Not all courses taken off campus can be applied to your transcript. Having preapproval to take a dual credit course is the only way to know if the course will count.)

Transferability of Courses There are sites to help you understand the transferability of courses to specific universities. These tools can be used as a guide. A word of caution, the transferability of courses and how they are applied to specific majors can change without notice. Always do a final check with the specific university you will be attending. Keep documentation on what equivalent courses they will accept your concurrent or dual credit courses as. Below are Kansas State University and University of Kansas’ transferability sites. To search for other universities’ transfer equivalency sites, conduct an internet search for: Transfer Equivalency (name of college you plan on attending). Kansas State University

Additional Post-Secondary Opportunities Some seniors are not interested in pursuing a four-year academic program of studies directly after graduation from Manhattan High School. Junior colleges provide one option. Many vocational and technical schools exist for those who want to learn skills that will help them find good jobs. Courses offered, tuition and the schools themselves are of an endless variety. Alternatives to a four-year college include community colleges, technical colleges, private vocational schools, and experiential learning. Many students investigate the possibilities for college and apply even if they think they want an alternative.

Community College When you enroll at a Kansas community college, you may choose to earn an associate degree and transfer after your first two years to a four-year institution (check with the school’s admission office on where credits will be accepted), or you may choose a career program designated to prepare you for a job when you graduate. More than 1200 courses of study are available including computer science, law enforcement, film-making, business management, vet technician, and nursing. A list of associate degrees and career programs are available in the counseling office. Local opportunities include: Barton County Community College – Fort Riley (this option is available free or at little cost to military dependents both active and retired), Cloud County Community College, and Highland Community College – Wamego.

Technical Colleges The opportunity to learn specific skills to enter the job market is available at Technical Colleges. Degrees that can be earned: Associate Degree, Technical Diploma, Apprenticeships, and Certificates. The instruction and classes provide businesses and industry with qualified employees who meet certification standards required for their specific job needs. Occupations in drafting, metal fabrication, automotive technology, nursing, and many other specific areas are available. A list of technical college programs is available in the counseling office. Local opportunities include: Manhattan Area Technical College.

Proprietary School / Specialty School / Vocational School A number of privately-owned schools provide vocational training. Areas of specialization include cosmetology, massage, fashion, broadcasting, computers, medical and technical training, and many more. When choosing a private school, carefully check the school’s credentials. Contact the counseling office if you have any questions. Be sure that the school is licensed. Visit the school to check its facilities and equipment. Local opportunities include: American Academy of Hair & Massage, B-Street Design Cosmetology School, American Institute of Baking.

Apprenticeships / On-the-Job Training by Business and Industry The amount of money spent by business and industry in training and educating employees exceeds that spent by all formal schools and colleges combined. At times the training lasts only a few days or a few weeks while some occupations might take a year with frequent retraining as the employee advances in the company. Companies will often finance all or part of the training for students who want to take job-related courses. As a result, increasing numbers of employees are working toward high school diplomas or college degrees with financial assistance from employers.

Gap Year – Taking Time Out Some students and their parents want to explore organized opportunities for personal growth and experience during an interim semester or year. Exciting and valuable programs are now well established in the United States. They range widely in type and location and may include: internship in community, social service; leadership training, outdoor education; fifth year high school at a preparatory school; structured travel/education as an exchange student.

Military Services Opportunities in education and training are available for men and women in all branches of the Armed Forces. In peacetime, one of the major functions of the military services is training. All branches of the services now prefer to take high school graduates for specialized training. Training in the military services can range from a few weeks to a year, depending upon the field of specialization. Some of the training is related completely to military service, but much of it is applicable to jobs in civilian life. Your options include Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, National Guard, Navy, and U.S. Merchant Marine.


General Information

Digital Learning Lab – DLL Prescriptive DLL Courses: These courses require student to begin each full-length course with a pre-test to check for mastery of each objective in that module, then move through the lesson in a prescribed format based on pre-test results. The grade earned in the prescriptive DLL course will replace a failing grade. See your grade level counselor. (Prescriptive DLL courses do not meet NCAA eligibility requirements.) Sequential DLL Courses: These courses guide students through all elements of the lessons and require students to master content before moving on. Sequential courses are ideal for first-time instruction. (Sequential DLL courses do not meet NCAA eligibility requirements.) DLL sequential or prescriptive courses cannot be taken to replace a passing grade. See your grade level counselor. Manhattan Virtual Academy: MVA Courses can replace a MHS failing or passing grade. MVA courses include Advanced Placement and NCAA approved courses. MVA guidance counselor, Tami Simkins, [email protected] or 785.293.2980. Virtual Dual Credit Course: postsecondary courses from an accredited college or university where the student will receive both high school and college credit. See College & Career Counselor, Katie Ball.

Eligibility for KSHSAA Activities & Athletics To be eligible to participate in inter-school activities (sports, music, debate / forensics), as designated by the Kansas High School Activities Association, students must be enrolled in and attending a minimum of five (5) new subjects (those not previously passed), and have passed at least five (5) new subjects the previous semester. Enrolling in summer school does not regain a student's eligibility. A student must attend one of the required 5 within the brick and mortar school.

Immunization

Any student entering school for the first time shall be required to present to the building administrator or designee, certification from a licensed physician or local health department that the student has received all immunizations as required by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Students who have not completed their required immunization may enroll and attend school if they have received the most recent appropriate vaccine in all required series. Failure to timely complete all required immunizations may result in exclusion from school until the student has complied with the requirements. The parent or guardian of the pupil will be given written notice of the exclusion stating the reasons for the exclusion and the condition under which the student may return to school. The parent or guardian shall be provided a hearing on the matter upon request. Exceptions to this policy are permitted only under the following conditions: a. An annual written statement signed by a licensed physician stating the physical condition of the student to be such that the immunizations would seriously endanger the life or health of the student. b. The Kansas Certification of Immunization must be signed by one parent or guardian that the student is an adherent of a religious denomination whose religious teachings are opposed to such immunizations. Kansas laws require current immunizations to attend Kansas schools. To be current, a high school student must have had:4 DPT (Diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) with 4th dose after age 4 years plus 10 year Td (tetanus-diphtheria); 3 Oral polio with last dose after age 4 years - or 4 total doses; 2 MMR’s (measles-mumps-rubella) are required. The first MMR must have been given after the 1st birthday.

mailto:[email protected]


Inoculations JGCB

All students enrolling in any district school shall provide the building principal with proof of immunization of certain diseases or furnish documents to satisfy statutory requirements. Booster shots required by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Environment are also required. A copy of this policy and the applicable state law shall be distributed to students, prospective students or their parents on or before May 15th of each school year. The superintendent shall issue a news release each August explaining the required inoculations and booster shots. Parents may delegate in writing their authority to consent to immunizations. If the parent is not reasonably available, and the authority to consent has not been denied as provided in law, individuals other than the parent may consent to the immunizations as provided for in current law. At the beginning of each school year, information on immunizations applicable to school age children shall be provided to parents and guardians of students in grades six through 12. The information on immunizations shall include: (1) A list of sources for additional information; and (2) Related standards issued by the national centers for disease control and prevention. Students who fail to provide the documentation required by law may be excluded from school by the superintendent until statutory requirements are satisfied. Notice of exclusion shall be given to the parents/guardians as prescribed by law. Students who are not immunized against a particular disease(s) may be excluded from school during any outbreak. Each principal shall forward evidence of compliance with the inoculation law to other schools or school districts when requested by the school or by the student’s parents/guardians. Approved: 7/08

Independent Study Students may enroll in independent study courses with initial permission from the instructor and administrative approval. The teacher and student must obtain an Independent Study Application Form from a counselor. Written approval must be given by teacher, department chair, and principal. Naviance Naviance is an online comprehensive college and career readiness platform that provides college and career exploration, electronic common scholarship applications, electronic college applications and skills & interest assessments with the ability to develop a plan of study based on those results. It also provides a test prep feature for the ACT and will design a plan of study based on the results.

Pass/No Credit Option for Elective Courses A student, with the approval of his/her teacher, may elect to take a course on a Pass/ No Credit basis. If the student completes the course satisfactorily he/she will receive credit for the course on his/her transcript. A “P” (for pass), not a letter grade, will be entered. If the course is not satisfactorily completed, no entry will be made on the transcript. A student will not be allowed to take a course on a Pass/No Credit basis if it is a course required for graduation or Board of Regents eligibility (i.e. English, US History and US Government) OR if it is to be counted as one of the 24 credits required for graduation. It is hoped that this will enable students to take a wider range of courses that they might have not taken because of the fear of receiving a low grade in an unfamiliar or very difficult subject matter area. The deadline for scheduling courses on a Pass/No Credit basis is the end of the first five weeks of each semester OR at the discretion of the teacher. Arrangements will need to be made with the teacher before that time. A student may retain right to take the earned letter grade at the end of the semester instead of a P if they choose. If a student is not attending class according to the school attendance policy, the Pass/No Credit option is void and an “F” will be entered on the transcript. NOTE: If you are considering an OUT-OF-STATE college or university with highly competitive admissions, you should know that these schools expect candidates to take AP, accelerated, advanced, and demanding core classes (Math, English, Science, Social Science and World Language) for a letter grade. Pass/No Credit options in core classes MAY drop you from consideration.

Pre-Enrollment During pre-enrollment in February, counselors and advisors will visit with students about the courses available by grade level. Students will have approximately one week to gather information and enroll online. Students should discuss their choices with their parents/guardians. Infinite Campus assigns the schedule.

Schedule Changes Any schedule change made after the seventh week of a semester will result in an F on their transcript. Choose your classes carefully during enrollment. Once master schedule conflicts are resolved, changes are very difficult to make in your schedule. Exceptions are made for seniors if it involves a requirement for graduation, for juniors who want to add graduation requirements to be able to attend the Manhattan Area Technical College in their senior year or teacher recommendations regarding placement - Ex. DLL, music group auditions, etc.


Seven Period Day Requirement Manhattan High School schedule is a modified block schedule. Students are required to be enrolled in seven class periods each semester. Exceptions can be made during their senior year, second semester only. Second semester seniors are allowed to take as few as five consecutive hour classes.

Student Assistants Students who wish to be an assistant for a teacher, counselor, administrator or librarian must have written approval from that individual at the time of enrollment. During the four years of high school students may receive 1.0 credit (two semesters). The credit will be Pass (P1) or No Credit (NC). Student must be on track to meet graduation requirements.

Timelines

Drop/Add a course One week after the beginning of each semester.

Pass/No Credit Option Before the first grading period of the quarter or at the discretion of the teacher

Incompletes Needs to be resolved two weeks after the semester grade marking period.

Dual Credit All required information should be turned into MHS Career and College Readiness Counseling

Office, C-010C by;

Unit of Credit Every class successfully completed during each semester will earn .5 unit of credit.

Weighted Grade & Class Rank Students are officially ranked at the end of each semester. Manhattan High School ranks the student on their unweighted and weighted grades. A student can earn an additional .03 weighted GPA bonus for each .5 credit by taking Advanced Placement, or college courses.


NCAA Eligibility Students that plan to participate in sports at the post-secondary level (i.e. rowing, basketball, marksmanship, football, volleyball, etc.) at the Division 1 or 2 level should let their counselor know as early as possible. The requirements to play sports at a Division 1 or 2 school are higher than the requirements to just attend the University. Students must complete 16 whole credits in the core areas of Math, Science, Language Arts, Social Studies, World Language, as well as meet stricter GPA / ACT score combinations. They must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center by the end of their Junior year at www.eligibilitycenter.org. Students should be aware that certain classes in the core areas are not NCAA approved (i.e.Consumer Math, Equine Science, etc.) Courses taken online through DLL are not approved. You will not be able to play if you have taken your core classes through these means. Students that do not meet the requirements for Division 1 or 2 at graduation can play at a Junior/Community College and then transfer up to Division 1 or 2 school.

It is very important that students let their counselor know if there is any chance that they will want to play a sport at the Division 1 or 2 level.

The ability to communicate with respect and cultural understanding in more than one language is an essential element of global competence. This competence is developed and demonstrated by investigating the world, recognizing and weighing perspectives, acquiring and applying disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge, communicating ideas, and taking action. Language learning contributes an important means to communicate and interact in order to participate in multilingual communities at home and around the world. (ACTFL, World-Readiness Standards for Language Learners, 2015, p. 11). Seal of Biliteracy: In May 2016, the Kansas State Board of Education adopted a Seal of Biliteracy for students demonstrating proficiency in one (or more) languages, in addition to English. Students will have the opportunity to receive this distinction upon graduation and after successful completion of a validated test, such as the AP exam, which MHS offers in French, German and Spanish. Students passing the AP exam with a score of “3” or “4” are eligible to receive the Silver Seal of Biliteracy and those attaining a “5” on the AP exam are eligible for a Gold Seal of Biliteracy. The seal is a statement of accomplishment that recognizes a student's readiness for career and college, and for engagement as a global citizen and will provide students with a competitive edge in the job market.
