Preface

This guide lists requirements for graduation, course descriptions, and other information needed to plan a high school program of study. In order to select a program of study appropriate for future career and/or educational plans, it is necessary to use this guide.

It is important to decide which field of study to pursue in order to be properly prepared for post-high school years. This booklet will permit you to review the courses available.

Students and parents are encouraged to utilize the services of the school counseling staff for assistance and specific information that may be needed. Please call 330-486-2406 to arrange a conference with a counselor regarding questions or programs. Counselors are the following:

• Ms. Brennen - Class of 2021 • Mrs. Krajcik - Class of 2020 • Mr. Rutkowski - Class of 2022 • To be determined - Class of 2019

Graduation Requirements

The Twinsburg City Schools Board of Education desires that its standards for graduation meet the minimum standards of the Ohio Department of Education and, further, that our high school will compare favorably with those high schools in the state recognized for their excellence.

Minimum Graduation Requirements

The Twinsburg Board of Education requires a minimum of twenty-two (22) credits for graduation. See pages 7-8 for additional testing requirements necessary to earn a Twinsburg High School diploma.

Summer School credits will be accepted toward graduation providing administrative approval has been given. Application of these credits towards graduation must follow Ohio Department of Education Minimum Standards.

The district will accept credits earned toward graduation from another accredited school.

The Board assumes that at the time of graduation, each student will have fulfilled all academic and financial obligations.

and CC+ Courses

The purpose of an AP course is to provide a higher level of engagement and rigor for students qualified to perform at the college level.

If a student obtains an A or B in the course, they will receive a weighted grade. Conversely, if a student performs at a “C” level or below, they will benefit from the rigor of the course but will not receive the weighted grade.

College Credit Plus classes may also follow this weighted guideline.

Grade Point Average Calculation – The following quality points will be used to calculate the GPA given to a student and used for class rank for students in the Class of 2019.

NON-WEIGHTED GRADES

WEIGHTED GRADES / AP

WEIGHTED GRADES / HONORS

A = 4 A = 5 A = 4.5

B = 3 B = 4 B = 3.5

C = 2 C = 2 C = 2

D = 1 D = 1 D = 1

F = 0 F = 0 F = 0

Students will be required to take the AP Exam and pay any fees associated with the exam. Fees are to be paid prior to the test being administered. Students must complete the semester or full year course along with taking the AP test to receive the weighted AP grade. Those students who do not take the test will receive a grade of “F” for the course.

Community Service

Per Twinsburg City School District’s policy, students must complete a minimum of ten (10) community service hours for each year enrolled at Twinsburg High School in order to fulfill graduation requirements. Students should submit at least the minimum number of hours at the end of each year.

Community service work shall be voluntary, with no payment rendered for service, must be completed outside of normal school hours, and for only non-profit organizations. Twinsburg High School has the right to verify any information submitted.

Community Service Verification Forms can be picked up in the high school office or downloaded from the district website, www.twinsburg.k12.oh.us/THSguidance.aspx. Students are encouraged to maintain a copy of all forms submitted to the school for processing. If you have any questions, or are unsure whether the organization qualifies as a school approved community service project, please contact Mrs. Tania Johnson at 330.486.2407 or [email protected].

Ohio High School Honors Diploma Footnotes1 Writing sections of either standardized test should not be included in the calculation of this score. The Locating Information

test is not included in the calculation of the WorkKeys score.

2 Advanced science refers to courses that are inquiry-based with laboratory experiences and align with the 11/12th grade standards (or above) or with an AP science course or with an entry-level college course (clearly preparing students for a college freshman-level science class such as anatomy, botany, or astronomy).

3 Program must lead to an industry recognized credential, apprenticeship, or be part of an articulated career pathway which can lead to post-secondary credit.

5 Field Experience refers to experiential learning in either an internship or apprenticeship. Students will document their experiences by describing their understanding in a portfolio.

6 The student portfolio is a collection of experiential learning and competencies based on the student’s field experience. Students will engage with professionals or scholars in the field while developing their own portfolio or ePortfolio of original work that documents their technical, critical and creative skills representative or their honors focus; student’s work must be reviewed and evaluated by scholars or professionals within the field/area of study in which the student’s work is focused, and the scholars or professionals must be external to the district staff; students will give a presentation to showcase the work and provide an analysis of it to the school and local community. If the student does not complete a field experience, the portfolio can be based on a collection of work related to the student’s honors diploma area of focus.

7 Students must score a minimum of a 6 on the Applied Mathematics WorkKeys Assessment and a minimum of 6 on the Reading for Information WorkKeys Assessment in order to meet the WorkKeys score requirement. The WorkKeys option applies only to the Career Tech Honors Diploma.

8 These score are based on the 2016 ACT and SAT assessments. Concordance tables outline equivalent scores for past and future tests that differ from the 2016 versions will be published on the ODE website. Tables to concord SAT assessments taken prior to March 2016 can be found at https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/educators/higher-ed/scoring/concor-dance

Multiple Credits for a Single Course

It is sometimes necessary to consolidate advanced courses in some activities and skill-developing subject areas in order to reach minimum acceptable class sizes. In such cases a student may take the same course more than once to enhance one’s learning in the subject. The same process has been followed for years in performing groups, wherein a course may be repeated four years (band, chorus, drama, orchestra). Some physical education courses fall under this category. (Please refer to the course descriptions in this catalog.)

However, in the cases of academic classes where the emphasis is on learning of concepts and/or a given body of knowledge, any student who received a passing grade in such a course will not be permitted to repeat the course for the purpose of filling his requirements for an acceptable schedule or to have said course appear a second time on the cumulative record card for the student. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the teacher and/or the counselor regarding the classes that appear on the schedule for which credit has already been given.

10

Educational Options

Prior to recent legislation, Twinsburg City Schools offered an array of unique opportunities for students to gain credits towards graduation via the Educational Options program. Following the passage of Senate Bill 311, "Credit Flexibility" is another opportunity for students to gain high school credits through non-conventional channels that started in the fall of 2010. More information is available at the Ohio Department of Education website: www.education.ohio.gov type "Credit Flex" in the search box.

The application packet for the offerings listed below is available on the high school web site. If you are interested in this possibility, please see your school counselor.

High School Credit Earned at the Middle School Middle school students may participate in high school level classes. The teacher of these classes must be highly qualified, the course must use high school materials and a Course of Study adopted by the Twinsburg Board of Education.

College Credit Plus (CC+) The State of Ohio passed a law that will allow 6th through 12th grade students to participate in the College Credit Plus Program. Students at Twinsburg High School may enroll full or part-time for NONSECTARIAN college courses for high school and college credit or for college credit only. For more information see page 122.

Advanced Placement (AP) Courses AP courses are college-level courses offered at Twinsburg High School. Upon successful completion of certain Advanced Placement Courses (a three or higher on the five-point AP exams), students may receive college credit or be allowed to test out of a college course. AP exams may be taken by any student without high school approval. However, for course credit at THS, the “test out” option does not apply if a student is to receive high school credit.

“Testing Out” of Courses A student may receive high school credit based on successfully completing a course/subject exam or completing additional course assessment criteria (i.e.: portfolio, project, etc.), or both. The course grade may be pass/fail or letter grade; this varies per the required assessment. Please submit a Credit Flex application regarding test-out requests.

Student-Designed Course A student may receive high school credit based on designing his/her own course. The course may or may not be offered at THS. The course must be approved by the school and must be of sufficient rigor to warrant the requested credit.

11

School Counseling Services

The various school counseling services are designed to assist the individual student to make the most of his/her own abilities and opportunities while at Twinsburg High School. The counselors value the opportunity to help each student and at all times maintain an “open-door” policy. When students need to see their counselor and request an appointment, an appointment will be scheduled as soon as possible.

Counseling services are many and varied and include but are not limited to the following: (a) Course selection and scheduling issues (b) Schedule changes (c) Checking and monitoring graduation requirements for their students (d) Managing the State required tests (e) Post high school planning including processing college and scholarship applications, managing the transcripts, and many other post high school options (f) Set-up and management of special events: the financial aid program, the post-secondary opportunities program, the scholarship fair (g) Counseling students regarding issues that affect their academic progress (h) Counseling individual students regarding personal issues (i) Case manager for 504 students

If parents have questions regarding individual classes, please directly contact the classroom teacher. Guidance Counselors are available to assist in this process. Special Educational Services

Students who have been receiving special educational services will have their class schedules adjusted to accommodate their needs as prescribed by the Individual Education Plan (IEP).

Course Registration Procedures

The following steps will be taken to schedule students for classes: • Group meetings with scheduling team • Individual conference with counselor, if needed • Parent signature is required on course selection sheet and must be returned to the guidance office • Students are responsible for entering course selections into student database • Verification of student requests are sent home for the student and parent to review. Any changes must be submitted on the verification form by the deadline. • Any change must be made prior to the closing of school of the preceding year • Curriculum information is posted on the Twinsburg City School District website

The College Preparatory Program

College Entrance Requirements

Colleges are placing the burden on the student to prove to the admissions officers that he/she is the kind of student the college is seeking. The most compelling proof a student can give is a set of good grades (College Admissions Officers are aware of a student’s grade point average.) Another factor is the student’s performance on college entrance examinations. “Other” requirements include strength of personality, maturity and stability, creative ability in some field, capacity for leadership, a sense of responsibility, and breadth and strength of intellectual curiosity. College admission is competitive. The “total package” that a student has to offer is important. Grades and test scores allow students to meet minimum requirements. Universities look at other aspects of the student involving extra-curricular interests, community service, and experiences that make a student unique.

Requests for transcripts of high school records and letters of recommendation will be completed through Naviance in conjunction with the counseling department and teachers. Naviance is a web-based resource that promotes college and career readiness.

College admission tests have two important functions in college admissions. First, they enable the college to compare students from all states and all schools. Second, they provide a check on the high school record. Two of the best known testing services are the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT) and the American College Testing Program (ACT).

Copies of the SAT and ACT bulletins containing the registration form, description of the test, and the five testing dates each year can be obtained from the College and Career Center or online. ACT’s website: www.actstudent.org. SAT’s website: www.collegeboard.com. The student should check with the college to determine the dates to take the tests. Students who take these tests twice usually do better on the second test, so each student might want to plan to take the SAT and ACT in their junior year. The scores are sent to the colleges the student indicates and to the student’s high school. The counselor will gladly discuss the test results and their implications upon request. If a student wants to go to college and can show he/she is capable of college work, he/she can be sure that somehow, somewhere, a college will accept him/her. Students that qualify for free/reduced lunch may qualify for application fee waivers for ACT/SAT or college course applications. Please see a school counselor for eligibility.

How Colleges Select Students

College admissions directors and their committees consider the following:

1. Student’s high school academic record 2. Type of coursework pursued by the student during high school 3. Marked improvement by the student in scholastic achievement from year to year 4. SAT, ACT, or other entrance examination scores (if required) 5. High school’s rating on the student’s personality and character 6. Indication of the student’s special ability: art, music, or leadership 7. Service to the school by the student 8. Service to the community by the student 9. Extracurricular activities pursued by the student: dramatics, sports, band, publications 10. Attendance record and personal profile for the student 11. Neatness and accuracy of the college application 12. Letters of recommendation from the high school principal, counselors, teachers, and others 13. Personal interview (if required)

Scholastic Eligibility For Interscholastic Athletics

A. In order to be eligible in grades 9-12, a student must be currently enrolled and must have been enrolled in school during the immediately preceding grading period. During the preceding grading period, the student must have received passing grades in a minimum of five one-credit courses, or the equivalent, which count toward graduation. A student must also earn a minimum 1.25 grade-point average during the preceding grading period. B.

The Cuyahoga Valley Career Center is an extension of Twinsburg High School and offers students a variety of career and technical education programs during their junior and senior years. These programs are designed to provide students with marketable technical skills and preparation for a career or further education making use of those skills. Upon graduation from high school, students are ready for immediate employment or for continued training in their chosen field in an apprenticeship, at a technical institute or at a two- or four-year college. Entry to CVCC programs is by application online at www.cvccworks.edu.Earning College CreditThere are several opportunities for students to earn college credits for the career-technical coursework taken at CVCC. Most programs at CVCC are designated “Ohio College Tech Prep” (identified in the program listings by the ◆ symbol), in which students can earn transcripted college credit that is transferrable to any public two- or four-year college in Ohio. Students must meet specific requirements to qualify, including a 3.0 or better GPA at CVCC, completion of Algebra II or higher, and a 2.0 overall GPA. In addition, some CVCC programs are approved by the Ohio Board of Regents as “Career Technical Credit Transfer” courses (identified in the program listings by CT2). In these courses, students can earn credit in equivalent college courses by demonstrating agreed-upon technical knowledge and skills based on recognized industry standards. The credits transfer as subject-specific credits to any public two- or four-year institution in Ohio offering the equivalent technical course. CVCC also maintains individual agreements with several institutions that can lead to articulated college credit for CVCC coursework. A complete list can be found in the CVCC catalog or website. College-bound students should plan their four-year high school schedules carefully, so that they meet college entrance requirements and still have room in their schedule for a CVCC program Academics/SchedulingCVCC programs are two years in length and carry 4 units of elective credit per year, although some programs carry a mix of academic and elective credits (credits are listed with each program description). Students generally attend CVCC for half of each school day to take a technical course, and take regular academic courses at Twinsburg High School for the other half of the day. Exceptions are noted in the course descriptions. Twinsburg High School provides bus transportation to and from CVCC.Admissions RequirementsStudents enrolling at CVCC must have completed two years of high school by the year in which they begin a program. Students on track for graduation at the end of their sophomore year, by having completed at least seven of the fifteen core academic credits required for graduation by the Ohio Department of Education, are assigned “priority” status for enrollment. The credits must include two in Language Arts, two in Mathematics and any combination of three credits in Science, Social Studies, Health or Physical Education. Students not meeting this standard are assigned “regular” status and are accepted after all priority status students have been placed. For each regular status student, the guidance office must submit a written plan for completing graduation requirements and have received approval by the CVCC administration by the first day of school. Several CVCC programs have unique admission requirements (pre-requisite courses, grade point average, interviews, etc.) See the individual program descriptions for details. In accordance with best practices, admission of students with disabilities should be the result of an IEP/transition team meeting to which the appropriate CVCC representative has been invited. Campus WearAll CVCC students are required to purchase or rent prescribed campus wear, which must be worn while class is in session. Students in Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Dental Assisting, Health Careers, Medical Administrative Specialist and Public Health & Safety purchase uniforms from uniform supply stores. Hotels & Resorts students purchase pants on their own, but jackets and caps are purchased through CVCC. Students in Auto Body, Auto Service Technology and Power Equipment Technology rent uniforms through CVCC. The cost is included in the class fee. All other students purchase program shirts through CVCC. Except where noted, uniform costs are not included in the listed program fees. Please note: Program fees may be subject to change.

Students will be required to take the AP Exam and pay any fees associated with the exam. Fees are to be paid prior to the test being administered. Students must complete the semester course along with taking the AP test to receive the weighted AP grade. If you do not take the AP test you will receive an "F" for the course.

Course Description: Open to Freshmen only, the AP course and exam in European History are intended for qualified students who wish to complete classes in secondary school equivalent to college introductory courses in European history. AP European History corresponds to two semesters of a typical introductory college history course.

The study of European history since 1450 introduces students to cultural, economic, political, and social developments that played a fundamental role in shaping the world in which they live.

The AP European History course is structured around themes and concepts in four different chronological periods from approximately 1450 to the present: Period 1: c. 1450 to c. 1648 Period 2: c. 1648 to c. 1815 Period 3: c. 1815 to c. 1914 Period 4: c. 1914 to the present

Without this knowledge, we would lack the context for understanding the development of contemporary institutions, the role of continuity and change in present-day society and politics, and the evolution of current forms of artistic expression and intellectual discourse.

In addition to providing a basic narrative of events and movements, the goals of AP European History are to develop (a) an understanding of some of the principal themes in modern European history, (b) an ability to analyze historical evidence and historical interpretation, and (c) an ability to express historical understanding in writing. Being able to read a college level textbook and complete intensive writing demands, including Long Essays and Documents Based Questions (DBQ), are fundamental requirements of the course. To prepare for the coursework and AP Exam, students will be required to complete a summer reading assignment.

Design, build and test solutions to real-world problems! In a program that has achieved Project Lead the Way National Accreditation, you’ll learn engineering concepts and technology such as applied logic, problem-solving, digital electronics, computer aided design, robotics and computer-integrated manufacturing. The hands-on, project-based approach lets you apply your skills to real situations. Imagine designing, building and testing a more efficient electric car or developing a device to aid amputees in giving themselves insulin. In practice, you’ll pick your own real-world problems to solve and graduate ready for a college engineering program. Students will draw on concepts and technology from CAD/CAM, engineering design, electricity/electronics, robotics and more. OSHA 10-Hour Safety certification is available. A course grade of C or better in Algebra I is required for admission, and successful completion of geometry is strongly recommended before taking this course.

CVCC Career Field

Special Services Programs

JOB TRAINING

Credit: 4.0 elective per yearFees: None

Job Training is a community-based, career-technical education program designed to help individuals with disabilities obtain, maintain and advance in competitive employment. If a student demonstrates individual job readiness, the Job Training team emphasizes the idea of matching student abilities with existing employer needs. The program instructor networks within the community to find successful leads within the community, supports the initial training period, provides regular follow-along and retention services, and works with students to promote maximum growth in their natural employment setting. In addition to working with employers and students, the Job Training Coordinator provides regular communication to any adult services that may be in place to promote a smooth transition to adult services. Job Training is recommended to be a one-year program.

SALES AND SERVICE FUNDAMENTALS

Credit: 4.0 elective per yearFees: $30 each year

Sales & Service is a marketing education program designed to provide students with disabilities with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to succeed in a service occupation, while developing employability skills and competencies needed in their transition to work. It gives students the right balance of class work and practical applications, and includes both in-house and community-based supervised work experiences. Both sections of this program, Level One (a.m.) and Level Two (p.m.), can be repeated as necessary to meet individual needs. Annual re-application is required.

TRANSITION TO WORK

Credit: 4.0 elective per yearFees: $30 each year

Transition to Work is a program designed to assist students in the development of appropriate work behaviors, employability skills and social skills for the workplace. This is done through simulated work and piecework in-house in Transition to Work PM and work at non-paid, community-based training sites in Transition to Work AM. Either section of this program can be repeated to meet individual needs as determined by recommendations of the IEP team, which will include appropriate consideration of program referral guidelines. Annual re-application is required.

The World Language Department strongly recommends that: (1) Students enrolling in an entry level foreign language should have received a minimum grade of “C” in their previous English course. (2) College preparatory students take four years of a foreign language.

A student may only continue in an advanced foreign language class (III, IV, AP) if he/she has achieved a minimum grade of “C” in the preceding course.

Seal of Biliteracy: World Language students in level 4 or AP have the option to take a nationally normed assessment to obtain a Seal of Biliteracy on their high school diploma during their senior year. Students must be proficient in English and a second language (Intermediate-High). The cost of the assessment will be the responsibility of the student.
