WELCOME Welcome to EPC This registration guide is designed to assist you in exploring the rich and varied programs offered at Edwin Parr Composite High School. Additional information can be found on our website at:www.aspenview.org/epc or call the school at 780- 675-2285.

Who May Attend The normal prerequisite to high school is successful completion of grade nine. Students who are or will be 19 prior to September 1st must meet with an administrator prior to completing their registration. Individuals who are 20 or over on September 1st are directed to visit the local college to explore further education opportunities. Foreign and Out-of-Province Students are subject to a tuition fee in addition to regular school fees. The Outreach school also accepts adult students.

Fees A registration fee is required of all students. Additional fees are required for CTS courses and other electives. As well, there are yearbook and grad fees. Students playing on school teams will have fees related to that participation as well. Fees will be itemized in the Student Handbook.

High School Flexibility Enhancement Project The High School Flexibility Enhancement Pilot Project is an opportunity afforded to sixteen high schools in the province. Essentially it allows EPC to offer programming that focuses more on outcomes and completion, eliminating the teacher to student time requirement. It encourages creative timetabling and allows us to put in place opportunities for students to achieve more at their own pace and less according to rigid schedules. Increasingly, EPC will be adding opportunities for flexibility into our school year. Please see the highlighted descriptors in the guidebook for specific opportunities.

In response to the High School Re-design Project we have adjusted our timetable to create a 65 minute Flex block. During this Flex block, students will have opportunity to receive academic support and enrichment.

Services Student Services

Course Information

The role of Student Services is to serve students, parents and teachers in such a way that each student has the opportunity to be successful in his or her educational development. Student Services offers the following services:

Course Credits: Each course is assigned a credit value (usually 3 for half courses and 5 for full courses) as determined by Alberta Education. To receive credits in a course, a student must achieve a mark of 50% or higher.

FNMI

Course prerequisites: Prerequisites for each course are outlined in this guide. Course standings are reported as percentages.

Here at EPC, we work together with First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) communities, elders, parents, teachers and other education stakeholders to best meet the needs of FNMI learners.

Well Being Counselling: Well Being Counselling offers the following services to students: • • • •

Crisis counselling Personal/peer/family counselling Referrals to School Team Referrals to community agencies

Career/Academic Counselling: Mr. Byers offers the following information to students: • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Registration information Course selections Program planning Diploma requirements Timetables Off campus evaluations Attendance/achievement referrals from students, parents, & teachers Career investigations Interest and Aptitude testing Post-secondary information Scholarships & Awards Student loans School to work transitions Volunteer Opportunities & Student Exchanges

Provincial Exams: Any student who is enrolled in English 30-1 or 30-2, Mathematics 30 Pure or 30 Applied, Social 30-1- or 30-2, French LA 30, Science 30, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, or Physics 30 must write a provincial diploma exam in the subject. The final mark will be a combination of the school mark and the provincial exam mark (50/50 weighting). Provincial diploma exams are written in January, June and August on a schedule set by Alberta Education Course Variety: Our course offerings are as varied as possible; however, sufficient demand must exist before a section is actually established. You should make alternate choices for elective courses wherever possible. Students who do not successfully complete a course in the first semester may not be able to repeat it in the second semester.

Course Load Credits & Student Course Load To obtain credits, students must obtain a grade of 50% or higher in their courses in Grade 10, 11 and 12. A student must earn a mark of 50% in a course before proceeding to the next level of that course.

For example, students need to complete English 10-2 before taking English 20-2. English 10-2 is the prerequisite for English 202. Select your courses by determining which courses you intend to graduate with and working back to their prerequisites. For example, if you want to graduate with English 30-1, you will probably take English 20-1 in Grade 11 and English 10-1 in Grade 10.

In some courses, you are required to write diploma examinations.

Your final marks in these courses are the average of the school based grade and your results on the diploma examination.

Students are required to carry the following course load: • Grade 10 (first year of high school) students must have a full course load – no spares.

• Grade 11 (second year of high school) students must have a full course load – no spares.

• Grade 12 students (third year of high school with at least 70 credits on September 1st) are allowed to maintain a program with spares. It is recommended that students have at least 30 credits in their final year but emphasis should be on completing the requirements for graduation. Please check university and college requirements before you schedule spares. Spares should be used to study, complete homework and improve grades. »» Third year students who do not have 70 credits as of September 1 or those who do not have passing marks in grade 11 level Social Studies and English must meet with a counsellor in Student Services to develop an education plan contract that meets Alberta High School graduation requirements.

»» At the beginning of Semester 2, when a student demonstrates that they have the classes and credits in place to earn an Alberta High School Diploma or Certificate of High School Achievement, they will be added to the Commencement list.

MAKING SENSE OF CLASSES CORE COURSES Courses in English, Social Studies, Mathematics and Science are offered at several levels.

• Courses numbered 10-1, 20-1, 30-1, 10 – 20 - 30 and 31 are designed primarily for students planning on entering a university or certain programs in colleges and technical schools.

• Courses numbered 10-2, 20-2, and 30-2 are designed primarily for students planning on entering certain programs in colleges, technical and trade schools or getting a job.

• Courses numbered 14 - 24 are designed primarily for students planning on getting a job immediately after graduation.

Your junior high marks are usually the best indicator of how you will do in high school, it is always possible, with effort, to improve them.

ELECTIVE COURSES Elective courses offer you a chance to broaden your knowledge by studying a variety of subjects. Some elective courses will help you build skills that will help you get and keep a job. Approximately 25 to 35 credits of study in a particular area could provide a basis for getting a job. This includes fine arts, CTS, Phys. Ed, Second Languages and many other courses.

Science and Math courses at a 30 level can be considered to be elective courses. Make sure to check and see if the post secondary school you are planning on attending requires all 3 sciences and a math. Often this is not the case unless you are planning on taking engineering or medicine.

5

Making Sense of Classes Grade 12 fine arts classes (Music 30, Drama 30 and Art 30) can be used to meet entrance requirements for many university programs. High marks in these classes may help a student’s average.

CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES (CTS) CLASSES Career and Technology Studies is a program developed by Alberta Learning encompassing Business Education, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Practical Arts and Vocational courses.

CTS is divided into strands and courses. Strands are the subject areas and courses are the building blocks for each strand.

Courses define what a student is expected to know and be able to do upon exit.

CTS is modular, students who enroll in a CTS course are actually taking many courses rather than one lengthy course. One course successfully completed equals one credit. The passing mark is 50%.

Courses are organized into three levels - introductory (1000’s), intermediate (2000’s) and advanced (3000’s). Specific courses are prerequisites for other courses within and across the three levels.

High School Diploma Grad Requirements Students must assume responsibility to ensure they meet requirements of the Alberta High School Diploma or the Certificate of High School Achievement. If you are in doubt or have questions, check with Mr. Byers early so that program adjustments can be made.

minimum of 100 credits including the following: • English Language Arts - 30 Level (English Language Arts 30-1, 30-2) • Social Studies - 30 Level (Social Studies 30-1 or 30-2) • Mathematics - 20 Level (Pure Mathematics 20, Applied Mathematics 20 or Mathematics 24) • Science—20 Level (Science 20, Science 24, Biology 20, Chemistry 20, or Physics 20) • Physical Education 10 (3 credits) • Career and Life Management (3 credits)

Modes of Delivery HIGH SCHOOL COURSE WITHDRAWALS AND TRANSFERS Students should carefully choose their courses when registering so as to keep transfer and withdrawal requests to a minimum.

Students asking to transfer or withdraw classes must ensure that their timetable still meets the minimum requirements for their grade.

Students may transfer courses in the first two weeks of each semester, after consultation with the Career Counsellor.

OFF-CAMPUS EDUCATION Grade 11 and 12 students (and Grade 10 students in the Knowledge & Employability Program) can take courses that require time spent on work sites in the community. These can be during school time or outside of school time, depending on the situation.

Credits are based on the number of hours spent at the work site (25 hours = 1 credit). Evaluations are based on the student’s success at work as determined jointly by the employer and the supervising teacher. Refer to the section on the RAP program and Tech. Prep., the course descriptions for Occupations in the Knowledge & Employability Program section.

ASPEN VIEW VIRTUAL SCHOOL

Students who are failing a course at the mid-term point should discuss their situation with their teacher and their parents. Students may drop a core course only with parental approval, and only if the student can still meet the program requirements listed above. This may mean the enrolment in a Virtual School course or CTS course. A “W” for withdrawal for courses or an INC for incomplete CTS courses will appear on the students’ transcript.

Aspen View Virtual School is an online school designed to provide students with the same high quality programming but through an alternative form of instruction. A.V.V.S. uses Moodle (a course management system that includes gradebook, quizzes, and private email on-line) to deliver the courses to the students.

All courses are administered by a team of certified teachers who have an assigned group of students, as they would if they were working in a conventional setting.

Students should not drop a class if they intend on taking the course in the next semester or next year. Students are encouraged to repeat the course to improve their mark.

A.V.V.S. is primarily used to give students an opportunity to:

ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY MODES AT E.P.C.S. Most students take their courses through classroom delivery. We expect each student in Grade 10 and 11 to have a full timetable.

This would include four courses, plus a flex period course, for a total of 5 courses per semester. However, we do offer courses outside of the regular time schedule and outside of the regular boundaries of the school campus.

AFTER HOURS COURSES A number of courses at Edwin Parr Composite School are offered in the evening, after school or during weekends. These courses vary from year to year but the courses planned are described in this booklet. (see After Hours Classes section).

• Take courses that they could not fit into their schedules • Take courses that are not offered by classroom instruction • Take courses outside of the regular classroom

Students may register throughout the school term. All courses must be completed prior to the last day of classes in June. For more information please visit the Virtual school website at http:// www.aspenview.org/avvs where you can find contact information and registration forms.

OUTREACH PROGRAM The Athabasca Outreach School is a facility for students under 20 years of age to complete their high school education in a flexible, self-paced environment. Students work at their contracted pace on distance learning material with the support of professional staff. 30-Level students are encouraged to take courses through the classroom or by distance education. Admission is with the approval of an administrator and the Outreach teacher.

Modes of Delivery

For more information, contact the Athabasca Outreach School at 4717 - 47 Avenue in Athabasca or Phone 675-9549, Fax 6759578, or email at shelly.gurba@aspenview.org

HOME SCHOOLING Students who wish to receive their full education at home may do so through Edwin Parr Composite School. Students and parents should first meet with a member of the administration to register the student. The student will receive instruction through the Alberta Distance Learning Centre (Barrhead), using their materials and instructors. Home education students registered at Edwin Parr Composite School are considered Edwin Parr Composite School students and therefore are allowed to participate in extracurricular activities such as sports teams, trips, or dances. Home education students also have access to school resources such as the library and counselling services, within normal operating procedures. They also must pay the same school resource fees as other students.

SUMMER SCHOOL Should there be a sufficient number of requests for a course and a teacher interested in giving instruction, select courses might be offered during the summer months.

COURSE CHALLENGES Course challenges allow students who have completed course related work, and can demonstrate that they possess the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to go through a formal assessment. This will most likely involve writing an exam and completing other assignments. Students must present evidence showing their understanding of the course work before they request a course challenge.

The following courses can not be challenged: • Physical Education Courses • CALM 20 • French 13

• Courses that have already been failed. (These courses must be taken again.)

• Courses at a lower level than the student has achieved

Note: Courses most commonly challenged are French 10, 20 and 30, by French Immersion students.

REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM (RAP) The Registered Apprenticeship Program is an apprenticeship program that permits high school students to become a first year apprentice and receive an Alberta High School Diploma while attending high school. Students can enter the RAP program through two routes.

Careers the Next Generation: Students apply to the RAP coordinator and are selected based on a personal interview, attendance (95% or better) and school average (65% or better). Students are placed with employers by the Careers Next Generation staff.

These students must do a 125-hour trial period before they are signed up as an apprentice.

RAP Students find their own apprenticeship (possibly including family or friends as employers). They then make arrangements with the RAP coordinator to have their program formalized.

Students must maintain a passing average in all courses and be progressing at a reasonable rate to graduate.

The RAP apprentice is a full-time high school student. A RAP apprentice accumulates hours of on the job training as credit toward a high school diploma.

Students may begin the process of entering RAP in Grade 10. It is recommended that students who wish to take RAP in Grade 11 and 12, take CALM 20 in Grade 10.

If you want more information on RAP, talk to Student Services or an administrator.

Planning your Program Step 1: Know Your Needs and Goals Students registering in high school should have an educational goal in mind so that choosing courses is a meaningful process. If educational goals are not defined, students should register in the highest level of academic courses in which they can succeed. Students should try to choose high school courses which reflect their junior high achievement.

Thinking ahead helps you plan better!

Academic Programs (open all doors if marks are high enough) Junior High Marks Recommended 65% (with the exception of Grade 10 Math)

Educational Goal University College Technical Institute Trades Work

General Programs (some restrictions for post-secondary entrance will apply) Junior High Marks High School Program

50% to 60%

Applied Program 10-2, 14, 20-2, 24,30-2 Courses

Educational Goal College Technical Institute Trades Work

K & E Programs K&E Courses are available to students in grades 8 - 12 who meet specific educational criteria. The courses are intended to provide students with opportunities to experience success and become well prepared for employment, further studies, active citizenship and lifelong learning.

Knowledge and Employability Courses are designed to provide entry-level employment skills for students who have expressed a goal of leaving school before earning the requirements for a senior high school diploma. Some students may transition successfully from Knowledge and Employability Courses to other courses to achieve a senior high school diploma or to continuing education and training opportunities; e.g. some colleges, and apprenticeship programs. Reviewing each student’s learning plans on an annual basis and adjusting their goals and courses as needed are important parts of the process.

9

Planning your Program continued Step 2: Know Your Graduation Requirements Students planning on graduating must complete the requirements for either an Alberta High School Diploma or Certificate of Achievement. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they do meet these requirements prior to their graduation ceremony.

Note: A high school diploma does not necessarily grant admission to post-secondary institutions. Be aware that there are a variety of entrance requirements for post-secondary institutions and students should plan programs accordingly. Information regarding post-secondary requirements is available at Student Services.

Step 3: Understanding How Credits are Awarded 1. You earn the credits attached to a high school course by obtaining a mark of 50 % or higher. You have the option of repeating the course to earn a higher mark but credits are granted only once for any course.

2.Retroactive Credits: Students who achieve a mark between 45 - 49% may continue at the next grade level in the lower program route with the approval of the school Principal. In these cases, students who successfully complete the next grade level course will earn credit for the course taken and for its normal prerequisite. For example if you had a mark between 45-49% in English 20-1, you could take English 30-2, and if you passed that course you would earn retroactive credits for English 20-2

Step 4: Planning Considerations 1. Prerequisite Standing: Courses are arranged in sequences such as Social Studies 10-1, 20-1, 30-1. A student must achieve a mark of 50% or higher in order to take the next course in a sequence.

Note: The Recommended Mark in the 10-20-30 sequence to move to the next course level is 65% or better.

2. Diploma Courses: There are provincial examinations in ELA 30-1 and 30-2, Pure Mathematics 30 and Applied Math 30, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Physics 30, Science 30, and Social Studies 30-1 and 30-2. Students taking these courses must write the diploma exam, which counts for 50% of the final mark in that course.

3. Course Challenges: A student is eligible to challenge a course under these guidelines: • • • •

The student feels he/she has the skills needed in that course to enable him/her to go on to the next level The student has not failed the course to be challenged The student is not currently registered in the course The student is prepared to undertake a comprehensive evaluation which may include the following components: written, oral, lab, portfolio or others as deemed necessary

4. Grade 10 Course Entrance Criteria - High School programs recognize and accommodate the wide range of developmental needs, abilities, and differences that exist among students. In order to be successful in high school, Grade 9 students are expected to meet the criteria outlined in the course sequences provided in this guide. Please refer to each core section to ensure that you fully understand what requirements are needed in order to enroll in specific courses.

Prerequisite requirements may be waived by the Career Counsellor or the Principal on the recommendation of the sending school, under special circumstances, and/or in response to an appeal from a student and his/her parents. These judgments will be made on an individual basis.

Fabrication Studies (Welding) Credits: 5 Prerequisite: NONE Level: Introductory / Intermediate Format: The Welding Program at Edwin Parr Composite School is a modular approach for teaching and evaluation.

This course covers: • Welding Safety, Tools Required (Hand Tools & Power Tools) • Oxyacetylene Welding • Oxyfuel Welding • Thermal Cutting Base Electric Welding Edwin Parr Composite School is offering

an increasing number of courses after hours. Students who register in these courses make a considerable commitment in terms of time, money (in some cases) and parental assistance. Most of these courses are offered immediately after school. Some will involve weekends, evenings or week long field trips. Students must provide their own transportation home after school.

Each course is unique and gives students an opportunity to explore a particular interest in depth.

Because of the time commitment involved, students are encouraged to take only one after hours course per semester. Students should contact the teacher responsible to find out more information and register for the course during the school year. Students should consult with school administration with respect to the maximum number of credits that may be taken in Career Transition Courses.
