  17. CONSENT FORM • For TOPS, College Scholarships, Grants, Aid Programs and College Admissions • I cannot release any of your information to any organizations or schools unless you give me consent. • Please have your parent/guardian sign this consent form and return to me ASAP!!!! • Anytime you want to turn something into me and I am not at school, just slip it under my door.

  18. Advanced Placement Classes • College level class taught by a teacher on our campus or Online • At the end of the class, you can pay $94 to take an exam that you may earn college credit if you score a 3, 4, or 5 out of 5. • Chemistry II AP, English Literature and Composition(Edgenuity), AP World History(Edgenuity), AP Calculus AB(Edgenuity) • English III and IV GT/AP • These classes do not count towards weighted • GPAs • If you are interested in taking this class, indicate this on your schedule sheet. • AP classes will have more weight than Honors classes for recognition at graduation.

  19. Dual Enrollment •  A dual enrollment class is a college course taken on the high school campus, and the successful completion of this course earns the student both high school and college credit. • As a college course, it is governed by the crediting university's policies including attendance, syllabus and grading. Iberia Parish School District cannot overrule these policies.   • The grade a student earns in this course will affect high school GPA, but more importantly, college GPA. As a college course, the grade earned in this course will become a part of the student's college transcript and can affect TOPS funding. 

  20. Dual Enrollment cont. • Students must qualify to enroll in dual enrollment course.  (Please check these requirements for the university you are using.) If a student intends to take a dual enrollment course, but does not have the required ACT score(s), then they will need to schedule the June test date and earn the required score in order to enroll in a fall course.  Courses offered in the spring will allow students additional testing opportunities. • A dual enrollment course is an excellent opportunity to earn college credit. Currently, the district is guaranteeing funds for one course per student; however, students interested in more than one course should understand that the cost of a dual enrollment course is much less than the cost of the same course taught on the college campus.  Paying for a dual enrollment course reserves TOPS funds which can be spent later.  The TOPS scholarship pays for 8 full-time college semester. 

  21. Dual Enrollment cont. • Scenario 1:  Many students find it difficult to complete their undergraduate degree in 8 semesters. If they do not, then the additional semesters become the responsibility of the student/parent.  Earning low cost credit through dual enrollment makes it much easier to complete their degree in 8 college semesters. It is much cheaper to pay for credits through dual enrollment than it is to pay for additional college semesters.  • Scenario 2:  If a student completes his/her undergraduate degree  in 7 or less semesters because of credits earned in high school through dual enrollment, he/she reserves 1 or more semesters of TOPS funds to pay for graduate school education. 

  22. Dual Enrollment for Math • Algebra III will be offered as a Dual Enrollment credit through LSU for Seniors only. • You can earn a college Algebra credit. • In order to be eligible for English Dual Enrollment class, you must score at least an 19 in Math and 18 in English and a 19 Composite on the ACT test with a cumulative GPA of 2.50. • Signed Contracts are due TODAY!!

  25. ACT test • If you do not have an 18 in English and a 19 in Math on the ACT test and you plan on attending a 4 year university, then you need to work on improving your score through practice and taking the ACT until you achieve your desired score. • You must register online at www.actstudent.org • Since we are all Free and Reduced Lunch now, each student can use up to 2 fee waivers to take the ACT as an 11th and 12th grader. You must get those individually from Mrs. St. Julien

  26. LHS Testing • *All students will take the ACT test as part of school accountability in March. • Juniors will take the ACT test. The test will be free to students because the Louisiana Department of Education is requiring the schools to give the test to all public school students. It will be given on a week day and students will be allowed to use their scores for college entrance requirements. • End of Course Exams • EOCs will be given at the end of the Fall semester in December and at the end of the Spring semester in May: • English I • Algebra I • Geometry • English II • Biology • US History TOPS ACT Composite Requirements: 20, 23, 27 TOPS TECH 17 If you do NOT pass your EOC exams, you do NOT graduate.

  27. CLEP • College Level Exam Program – students could possibly earn college credit by taking the CLEP exam. • Students can register to take any exam at anytime at https://clep.collegeboard.org • There are 33 different tests on various subjects. • Some of our classes line up with the subject area of the CLEP exams: • Biology II Honors = Biology CLEP exam • American History = US History II CLEP exam • Algebra III = College Algebra CLEP exam • Psychology Honors = Intro to Psychology CLEP exam

  28. Honors Program • All honor students are required to complete the following prescribed college preparatory curriculum according to the following schedule. • The Honors Curriculum is aligned with TOPS University curriculum and TOPS requirements. • Additionally, students must complete 16 classes at the Honors level and one additional core class that is accepted by TOPs. • All honor students are required to complete 30 credits total.

  29. Honors Program • As an 8th grader, you must make a final grade of A or B in a subject to be eligible for the 9th grade honors class in that subject. For example: • 8th grade Math final grade is A = 9th grade Alg I H • 8th grade Eng final grade is C = 9th grade Eng I • 8th grade Soc St. final grade is B = 9th grade W. Geo H • 8th grade Sci final grade is D = 9th grade Physical Sci • As a 9th grader, you must maintain a C or higher average in a subject to continue to be eligible for the 10 grade honors class in that subject. For example: • 9th grade Alg I H final grade is C= 10th grade Geom H • 9th grade Alg I H final grade is D = 10th grade Geom

  30. Honors Program • If you want to move from on-level to Honors classes, your final grade in the class must be a B to move from on-level to Honors. For example: • Algebra I final grade is B = Geometry Honors • Algebra I final grade is C = Geometry • Keep in mind that we are a small school, and we do not have lots of scheduling choices. • It is difficult for me to schedule you with half honors classes and half on-level classes.

  31. Graduating with Honors: • If you complete all Honors requirements you will be seated before on-level students. • Students who complete the honors program with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better will be recognized as Distinguished Graduates and you will sit on the first row. • ONLY the Distinguished Graduates GPAs will be weighted for graduating seating purposes on the first row. • All Honors and Advanced Placement classes are weighted heavier than on-level classes. • Advanced Placement classes are weighted the heaviest (except for Eng III GT AP and IV GT AP).

  32. Grade Classification

  33. Credit Recovery and Grade Recovery Credit recovery is an instructional program for students who have failed core courses taken previously.  Credit recovery courses are taught using computer software programs aligned with the state’s content standards and grade level expectations.  To recover credit, the student must pass a comprehensive final exam approved by the State Department of Education. A student athlete interested in a Division I or II University MUST repeat the required courses in their entirety to fulfill the NCAA requirements.  Students cannot simply repeat the deficient skills of a required course they fail.  In other words, they cannot use the credit recovery option for promotion of subjects failed.  It will not meet the NCAA requirement for that course. The student must get permission from their teacher to recover the grade. Then, the student must bring the sheet to Coach Lewis or Ms. Loston and we will set up the student to recover the grade on the computer. Each student has ONE grading period to finish all assignments assigned to the student on the computer.

  34. Information on Scheduling!!! • Please take note that prerequisites for certain courses are included. Do not schedule a course with a prerequisite unless you have fulfilled the necessary requirements. • The course directory contains brief descriptions of courses along with necessary information as to grade level prerequisites. Honors, gifted, and advanced placement classes are the highest academic levels. On-level is the average academic level. Be sure that the level of the course fits your abilities and you meet all requirements and prerequisites. • Student schedules will be determined according to their Individual Graduation Plan. • Schedules will not be changed after the first week of a new semester unless the change is approved by the Principal.

  35. Information on Scheduling!!! • Schedules will NOT be changed without parental approval!!!!!!! • Students may not receive credit for the same course twice. • A Job Specialty must be completed in order to be allowed to graduate with a High School Diploma in the JumpStart Curriculum. Electives must be related to the student’s Job Specialty. This applies to the incoming Freshman of 2014 and beyond. In order for a student to complete a Job Specialty, he/she must complete 9 credit hours in the chosen specialty. • You must also earn an Industry Based Certification in order to graduate in the Jumpstart Program.
