The mission of Harrisonville High School is to empower student success. Dear Parents and Students: Harrisonville High School offers a wide range of subjects and opportunities for students to satisfy their interests, abilities, and needs. In order to make wise choices that lead to well-balanced programs, students should decide early in their high school years whether they are preparing for advanced study after graduation, a career in the business field, or developing the necessary skills for employment. We encourage parents and students to develop a Personal Plan of Study to guide them toward their post graduation and career goals. It is important to select courses very carefully to fulfill that plan. The career pathway information offers a range of possible careers for each student to consider. Parents can use the career pathway information to discuss career opportunities with their children. . Student course selection is very important. Schedule changes can be very difficult and/or denied; therefore, students and parents should carefully consider course selections to ensure the most appropriate choices for students. Special situations may require you to contact the instructor of a course for more information. The teachers, counselors, and administrators are available to assist students and parents as they make course decisions. Please do not hesitate to ask for this assistance. Sincerely,

Administration Andy Campbell

Preparing All Students for College and Career Readiness PLAN Test All sophomores are encouraged to take the PLAN. The PLAN measures critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills. The College Readiness Standards Report helps students identify whether or not they are on track and prepared for college level courses by graduation. Students can identify what they have learned, what they are ready to learn next and what they must learn to be prepared for college. The PLAN test score can be used to qualify for Missouri Scholars Academy. In addition, the data can be used by teachers to help improve instruction if weak areas are identified by a significant number of students. By using the data from the PLAN, early intervention can occur to help students get enrolled in classes which will improve their skills. Each individual student receives a report identifying the specific skill(s) the individual student needs to improve. Students still have two years of high school to get prepared for post-secondary education. The PLAN also has an interest inventory which helps students identify areas for possible career choices. Often students do not consider all the possible career choices because they have not been exposed to the information. As part of the career counseling curriculum, students are encouraged to research the top three career paths identified on the PLAN World of Work Chart. PSAT Test The PSAT is an option test for sophomores and juniors. Sophomores can use the test score to qualify for Missouri Scholars Academy. The PSAT is the only qualifying test for juniors competing for National Merit Scholarship Program. We encourage the top 15-20% of the sophomore class to take the test in preparation for the National Merit Scholarship. The PSAT measures critical thinking skills, including critical reading, math problem-solving and writing skills. The individualized score report includes personalized feedback on skills that need attention, along with suggestions for improvement. Students also have free access to a personalized planning kit based on their test results to help improve skills and research colleges. In addition, the PSAT includes an AP Potential Report which identifies students who can be successful in AP courses based on test scores. Teachers can also use the Summary of Answers and Skills to improve instruction if a significant number of students do not perform well in an area. ASVAB Test The ASVAB is not just a test for those students planning on joining the military. For college-bound students, the ASVAB may well help them decide on a college major/minor. The ASVAB is an aptitude test and has a wonderful career exploration component. Since aptitudes are fairly stable throughout life, identifying those abilities and building upon them is a natural career choice. Students who are still undecided as a junior should be encouraged to take the ASVAB as a career exploration tool. ACT Test - www.actstudent.org To ensure that students master the knowledge and skills to succeed after high school, ACT recommends that students take a core curriculum consisting of at least:

s in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II

The Harrisonville School District offers ACT Prep Review to help students succeed on the ACT.

A+ Scholarship Program The A+ Program Office opens August 1st for students interested in the A+ services. The hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily. Students are encouraged to contact the A+ office with any questions they might have.

What is the A+ Program? In an effort to enhance educational opportunities for high school students, the Missouri State Legislature established The Outstanding Schools Act (OSA) of 1993, which included the provisions of the A+ School Program. The Legislature approved the program to help students qualify for post secondary tuition assistance. The A+ School concept has three goals as named in the OSA. They include that all students will: 1) Graduate from high school; 2) Complete a selection of challenging high school studies with identified learning expectations 3) Proceed to a two- or four-year college, vocational/technical school, or high wage job with work-place skill development opportunities. Students who graduate from an A+ School and have met the specified requirements will be eligible to receive two-year tuition to any public community college, vocational, or technical school in Missouri, provided that state funding sources are available.

Who can qualify? To be eligible for the financial incentives of the A+ School Program, a student must be certified as an A+ student by their high school. Students must meet the following criteria set by the A+ Program: 1) Maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA; 2) Beginning with the class of 2015 – have achieved a score of proficient or advanced on the Algebra I end of course (EOC) exam; 3) Maintain a cumulative 95% attendance rate; 4) Perform 50 hours of Community Service; 5) Perform 50 hours of Tutoring/Mentoring; 6) Maintain a record of good citizenship; and 6) Apply for federal post-secondary student financial aid funds that do not require repayment.

What are the Student Benefits? • Paid tuition to attend a public community/technical college or vocational training (pending State funding), • Opportunity to learn about jobs at the place of business as well as in the classroom, • Earn college credits while still in high school, • Tutoring and mentoring experience, • Develop appreciation for community through volunteer service, • Career pathways to prepare for an occupation, with additional training upon graduation, • Encouragement to attend school regularly and work hard, and • Experience using computers and other modern equipment to solve problems.

What if I want to attend a 4-year college? By signing up, you are saying that you want to strive to accomplish the goals established by the A+ Program. Even after a student completes the requirements for the A+ Program, he/she may choose to enter the military, or go straight to a 4-year college, or even take a year off before taking advantage of the benefits of the A+ Program. The A+ Program will allow a student to attend a 2-year college and earn an associate’s degree, which will transfer to a 4-year college. To Enroll: See Rhonda Hendrickson in the A+ Office (located in Student Services) for an application.

Statement of Intent

Building Character, Creating Opportunity

I, ________________________________________________, have been fully informed of the conditions for eligibility

for the A+ Student Financial Incentives in accordance with the A+ Schools Program at Harrisonville High School. I

understand that in order to qualify for eligibility for financial incentives offered by the State of Missouri’s A+ Schools

Program, I must agree to accomplish all of the following:

1. Enter into a written agreement with Harrisonville High School prior to graduation and have attended an A+

designated school for at least three consecutive years prior to graduation.

2. Graduate with a cumulative unrounded grade point average of 2.5 or higher – without weight

3. Graduate with at least a 95% cumulative attendance record.

4. Perform a minimum of 50 hours of unpaid tutoring or mentoring for younger students, supervised by

Harrisonville School District personnel.

5. Maintain a record of good citizenship and avoidance of the unlawful use of drugs.

6. Beginning with the class of 2015, have achieved a score of proficient or advanced on the Algebra I EOC exam

To access the incentive, I must also:

7. Apply for federal financial assistance (FAFSA) and provide documentation for A+ office. Online @

www.fafsa.ed.gov (Parental income is not a criterion for A+ student incentive reimbursement.)

8. Register for Selective Service, if applicable, @ www.sss.gov

9. Enroll full-time in degree-related credit course each semester.

To maintain eligibility after graduation, I must:

1. Enroll and attend full time in a public funded Missouri community college or vocational technical school and

complete within a 4 year period.

2. Maintain a grade point average of 2.5 or higher (12 hours per semester). *Any courses taken prior to the

beginning of eligibility are not calculated in the student’s GPA.

The signing of this agreement signifies that it is my intent to meet or exceed the above noted eligibility criteria

that will allow me, but in no way obligate me, to participate in the A+ Student Financial Incentive Program. I

understand that if I successfully meet the criteria, the State of Missouri may provide for the reimbursement of the

cost of tuition and general fees to any Missouri public community college or vocational/technical school in the State

provided that state funding sources are available. Furthermore, I understand the Harrisonville Cass R-IX is not

responsible for A+ tuition payments and funding for A+ is 100% dependent upon appropriations from the

Missouri General Assembly through the State funding process.

Credit Recovery What is credit recovery? Credit recovery is a second-chance opportunity for high school students to make up credit in order to graduate from high school. Participation in the Harrisonville High Credit Recovery Program is a privilege. Pre-arrangement must be made with each student’s counselor before enrolling. Class is held in the high school computer lab utilizing online, self-paced curriculum. How long will it take to recover a credit? Students can complete the equivalent of a semester of the prescribed course during the credit recovery term (1/2 credit). It takes about 20 – 30 hours of credit recovery to complete all the assignments for one course. Although enrollment is open throughout the school year, all course work must be completed within a semester cycle and summer school may be required for any credits that are not recovered during the school year. Missouri Virtual Instruction Program (MoVIP) - www.movip.org MoVIP is the state virtual school for Missouri and is a tuition program offering classes to public, private and home school students. Students take MoVIP classes for many reasons. Missouri students can now access advanced classes or foreign language classes on MoVIP that are not currently offered by their local school district. Some students take MoVIP classes to graduate early or to solve class scheduling problems; other students take advantage of the ―foundation classes‖ offered for credit recovery. A number of Missouri students are not able to attend their traditional schools for medical reasons, or they are involved in special activities or are presently outside of the state. Online education offers students flexibility in a variety of ways. MoVIP classes are self-paced so students can move through the classes at a faster or slower pace if necessary. MoVIP offers various start dates. MoVIP offers 172 different courses including seven different foreign languages and 19 Advanced Placement classes. Correspondence courses The Cass R-IX School District recognizes units of credit obtained through accredited schools, including credits earned through correspondence courses or courses delivered primarily through electronic media, such as satellite video, cable video or computer-driven or online courses. For the purposes of this policy, an "accredited school" is the Missouri Virtual Instruction Program (MoVIP); a private agency where students with disabilities are placed by a public school; or any school accredited by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) or the North Central Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI). Except for courses earned through MoVIP, a student may apply a maximum of two (2) credits from correspondence courses to meet graduation requirements.

Advanced Placement Program The Advanced Placement Program (AP

©) is a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools and colleges

and universities. It gives high school students exposure to college level material through involvement in an AP course, and then gives them an opportunity to show what they have learned by taking an AP Exam in May. All students enrolled in AP courses are expected to take the AP exam in May in the subject area. The fee for the exam is $80-$90. Financial assistance is available to qualified students. The national exam scores are on a 5-point scale. Students receiving a score of a 3, 4, or 5 on this exam may be granted credit and/or advanced placement in college. Harrisonville High School offers several AP courses for sophomores, juniors and seniors. Up-to-date information concerning university recognition policies can be found at www.collegeboard.org/ap. AP courses are a major commitment requiring nightly study and preparation. Students are required to do considerable work in and out of class to demonstrate the skills expected of first year students in a strong college program. Many AP courses also have a summer work expectation to be completed prior to taking the class in the fall. The following courses are AP courses:

AP English Literature & Composition AP English Language & Composition AP United States History

AP Biology AP Chemistry AP Government & Politics: US

AP French Language & Culture AP Calculus (AB) AP World History

AP Statistics

*AP courses and college credit courses are calculated as weighted credit in the student’s GPA.

Articulated Credit

Certain classes at the Cass Career Center will earn college credit through community colleges. Articulated credit is earned by successfully completing a career, technical, or occupational course with an 80% or higher. Enrollment for articulated credit must be made while the student is enrolled in the high school equivalent course. The college credit will appear on a college transcript once a student graduates high school and earns 15 hours of college credit through the post-secondary institution. There is no cost to the student for articulated credit.

The following courses are available for articulated credit:

Landscape Design & Turf Mngmt/ Advanced Plant Science

Marketing

Automotive Technology

Emergency Medical Technician Basic

Firefighter 1 & 2

Health Sciences

Welding

College Credit Courses

The Cass R-9 School District does not set the criteria for students to be eligible for dual credit.

To receive an early decision, register with the NAIA Eligibility Center, have your high school send official transcripts to the Eligibility Center and contact ACT or SAT to have their test scores sent directly (the NAIA code is 9876 with ACT and SAT).

Purpose Of Career Paths & Career Clusters Career paths are clusters of occupations/careers grouped according to participants’ interests and talents or skills. All paths include a variety of occupations that require different levels of education and training. Thus, career paths provide a plan for all students, whatever their interests, abilities, talents, or desired levels of education. Selecting a career path provides a student with an area of FOCUS, along with FLEXIBILITY and a VARIETY of ideas to pursue. The focus of career paths is on helping students choose a career path, not a specific occupation. Selecting a career path is not a lifelong commitment; it is a place to begin focusing one’s energies. As students take different courses and learn more about themselves and careers, they will probably change career paths. Students who understand the career paths concept will be aware that there are a variety of other related possibilities if the first path no longer fits them. If different career paths become more interesting, the students can reevaluate plans, make appropriate decisions, and revise their high school plans as necessary.

Benefits Deciding on a career path can assist you in exploring your interests and preparing for your future. The intent is not for you to decide on a specific occupation for the rest of your life, but to select a career path into which you can begin directing your energies. Identifying a career path can help you in selecting school courses, activities, and part-time employment. It can also help guide your participation in job shadowing, career exploration and internships. A career path choice is not a permanent commitment. As you have new experiences, you learn new things about yourself and may decide to change career paths. If you decide on a different career path to explore, you should discuss it with your counselor and adjust your future course selections in accordance with your new career exploration.

Career Exploration Assessments Harrisonville High School students complete career exploration assessments starting in the 8

th grade. This is a way the

student can identify an initial career path choice. Counselors and advisors will then use this information to assist students in making course selections and developing a plan of study. The PLAN test is administered in the 10

th grade. It provides

an inventory that will indicate which career clusters interest the student. This will help the student update his/her personal plan of study and career path.

CHOOSING A CAREER PATH OR CLUSTER

1. Identify your interests, abilities, and talents.

2. Identify the career path or cluster that relates to your interests, abilities, and talents.

3. Explore occupations in those career paths or clusters.

4. Decide how much education you want to receive after high school.

5. Develop a Personal Plan of Study by selecting courses and co-curricular activities that relate to your

educational and career goals.

Career Planning Common Language

Individual Planning Vocabulary Guidance and Counseling

Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education August 2011

Definition and Purpose:

1. Guidance Grade Level Expectations (GLEs): The systematic, sequential and developmentally

appropriate set of knowledge, skill and understanding for the K-12 guidance curriculum.

2. Life Career Development: Self-development over the life span through the integration of roles,

settings, and events of a person's life.

3. Individual Planning: The process of on-going educational and career-planning services that helps all

students develop personal plans of study organized around programs of study and their personal,

career, and educational goals.

4. Personal Plan of Study (PPOS): A student’s scope and sequence of coursework and related activities

based upon their chosen Career Path or Career Cluster and their educational goals. Initiated in the

eighth grade, it is designed to insure a successful post-secondary transition. The key component of the

Individual Planning process.

5. Program of Study (POS): Secondary-to-postsecondary sequences of academic and career

education coursework, along with additional learning opportunities, that lead students to attain a

postsecondary degree or industry-recognized certificate or credential.

a. Process: Missouri currently uses a 10 step process for the development of Programs of Study

that is aligned with federal guidelines which includes creation of POS templates and

secondary/post-secondary curriculum alignment. This process is currently under review at the

state level.

b. Template: The model or form developed by schools that lists courses, occupations and

additional learning opportunities to help students develop their personal plan of study. The

completion of the POS template does not infer that the POS process has been completed.

6. Career Paths (6) Clusters (16) Career Pathways (78): A progressive framework to organize the

world of work and career information. The framework provides the structure to assist students in

understanding the world of work, and to organize course and co-curricular offerings in the school.

7. Missouri Connections: A free web-based career and educational planning resource to help Missouri

citizens determine their career interests, explore occupations, establish education plans, develop job

search strategies, and create résumés.
