Please note: It is our intention to oﬀer each of these classes to our students. However the final schedule is dependent on an adequate number of students requesting a particular class. Therefore students are strongly encouraged to register on time and to select alternative courses. Registration cards not returned by the announced deadline may not be processed in a timely manner. In addition, students who do not return registration cards are subject to being assigned to all classes without student or parent input. Schedule corrections may be implemented only when a student was assigned to the wrong academic class. Schedule corrections will NOT be made for “unwanted” classes.

From the Chief Academic Officer Dear APS High School Students and Families:

As you prepare to graduate and enter college or start a career, we hope you find this course catalog easy to use and filled with the courses that you are excited about taking! Albuquerque Public Schools is committed to providing high-performing and community-responsive schools for all of our students and families. We understand that this means oﬀering courses that are diverse, rigorous, and relevant for your learning.

General Information

You will find courses in the core areas of English Language Arts, Math, History, and Science that are aligned to the Common Core State Standards. In these courses, you will be expected to apply what you learn, make connections, read and write about challenging texts, and defend your thinking as well as challenge the thinking of others. You will also find a variety of elective courses that include health and wellness, the fine arts, and career readiness.

I encourage you to take courses that will challenge you – either by taking an elective class that you have never experienced before, or an Advanced Placement course. Take time to map out your year; that is, what courses will you take first semester and second semester? Might you consider taking a dual enrollment course or a class at Career Enrichment Center? High school is an exciting time of life; take advantage of the expertise of your family, teachers, and counselors to ensure that your course selections are right for you and will put you on a path to graduate with a diploma and ready for college and career!

Best,

Katarina Sandoval

Chief Academic Oﬃcer

MANZANO HIGH SCHOOL

Welcome to Manzano High School SCHOOL PROFILE Manzano High School is one of thirteen comprehensive high schools and 8 Schools of choice in the Albuquerque Public School system with approximately 1800 students in grades nine through twelve.

ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS

Underclassmen (9th, 10th, and 11th graders) are required to enroll in seven classes per semester. Seniors (12th graders) must enroll in a minimum of four (4) classes per semester and are encouraged to enroll in seven (7). Students must be enrolled in four classes, per New Mexico Activities Association regulation, to participate in athletics or activities.

All students, full time or part time, are required to take all standardized tests.

TRANSFER STUDENTS Students entering from school situations other than APS must provide official documentation (an official transcript) of grades and credit earned. Students entering a new class after the first ten days of school may receive an “N” (no credit) grade for that class. Regardless of when students enter a new class, they are expected to make up work missed in that class. Students from a non-accredited school will receive credit on a pass/fail basis per APS policy. Students who have been home-schooled must provide a portfolio demonstrating work accomplished, a summary of courses taken and credits earned, and supporting information (standardized test scores, textbooks, curriculum, etc.). Our staff will review the portfolio to determine appropriate credit in accordance with curriculum standards from the New Mexico Public Education Department.

COURSE SELECTION/PRE-REGISTRATION PROCESS Manzano High School offers a comprehensive curriculum enriched by special offerings. Enthusiasm, positive attitude, classroom skills, professional activities, and academic preparation characterize staff members. The school’s curriculum meets both college and career preparatory needs.

General Information

You must live in our attendance area to enroll for classes. Students who apply for and receive an approved enrollment form (transfer) to attend our school may also enroll for classes. The Open Enrollment Oﬃce can be reached at 855-9049.

We build our schedule of classes on the basis of all of the courses selected by our students. Therefore, once completed, student course selections will be considered final unless the selections fail to prepare the student for minimum graduation requirements. Course availability for non-required, elective courses is determined by sufficient student selection and staff availability. Insufficient pre-registration numbers or staffing constraints could cause a course to become unavailable after the initial scheduling selection process.

Students should choose courses carefully. Once schedules are built, they cannot be changed except to meet a graduation requirement. Students are encouraged to seek assistance and advice from their parents or guardians, teachers, and counselors.

COURSE CATALOG 2016-2017

All students will submit their course requests through the spring pre-registration process. The students’ actual schedules will be determined by pre-requisite requirements, suﬃcient student interest through course requests and availability of highly qualified staﬀ to teach the requested courses. Finalized student schedules for the 2016-2017 school year will be available in August at a “back-to school” registration event. Information on August registration will be provided through a summer mailer or on the school’s website.

General Information

SCHEDULE CORRECTIONS All students are expected to continue and complete the courses they select. Adequate schedule planning for students, teachers, and classroom space can be completed only when school oﬃcials can consider students’ schedule requests to be final and binding. There will be times when a correction is necessary. The special circumstances that can precipitate a schedule correction review are: completion of summer school coursework, failed courses from previous semesters, changing to a course with a higher degree of diﬃculty in the same subject area, or fulfillment of a graduation requirement.

Student course selections will be considered final unless the selections fail to prepare the student for minimum graduation requirements. A review for schedule correction should be requested through your school counselor. Any corrections must be made within the first ten days of the semester. A class dropped after that time results in a “W/F” (withdrawal with the grade of “F”) for the course. Some schedule changes are generated due to over or under projection of student enrollment by the district.

Requests for level changes (AP/Honors class to regular or regular to AP/Honors) must be completed by the end of the first grading period. If a level change from an AP/Honors course into a regular course is being considered, the student will be asked to meet with the AP or honors teacher, his or her parent, and counselor to consider strategies for helping the student succeed in the class. If the student is still struggling after implementing the strategies, the student may request a transfer to a regular class if space is available. If a student’s schedule is changed, the grades earned in his or her original class will be averaged with the grades earned in the new class.

Very Important Note: You are choosing classes for the entire school year. The schedule is based on the choices you make now. THERE ARE NO SCHEDULE CHANGES ALLOWED!

GRADING POLICIES Report cards with progress grades are issued every six (6) weeks. A semester consists of three (3) 6-week grading periods. Grading at Manzano is cumulative, meaning every grade in each semester builds toward that final semester grade, which determines whether a student receives credit for the class. Semester grades are posted on a student’s permanent record (transcript). The final examination may count for no more than 20% of the final semester grade. PERCENTAGE

General Information

Period 2

The grading scale is:

Credit is granted for successful completion of each class at the end of the semester. Credits are granted with passing grades: A, B, C, or D. Credit is not granted for grades of F, I (Incomplete) or W/F (withdrawal with the grade of F). Course work must be completed by the COURSE CATALOG 2016-2017

end of the semester following the semester in which the I (Incomplete) is posted. If a grade is not assigned for the Incomplete within the next semester, a grade of F will be assigned. If a course is repeated, the higher grade will be recorded and computed in the student’s grade point average (GPA); however the F remains on the transcript. Duplicate credit will not be granted for a course that is repeated. Grades of W/F will always calculate in the GPA.

Dual credit (courses taken at Central New Mexico Community College/University of New Mexico/Institute of American Indian Arts) grades are included on the transcript and calculated in the GPA. It is a state requirement that dual credit grades be posted on the high school transcript.

General Information

TRANSCRIPTS APS uses Parchment to send oﬃcial and unoﬃcial copies of transcripts. For information about processing transcripts, go to: http://www.aps.edu/students-parents/transcripts or go directly to http://www.parchment.com/ to create profile.

Official transcripts will be sent electronically, securely and confidentially to the colleges, universities or organizations you designate. Students can track the status of their request online and immediately see if it is "Pending," "Sent" or "Delivered." Official transcripts are primarily for college applications and the military. Currently enrolled students can print unofficial transcripts from Parchment for personal use. Unofficial transcripts can be used for job applications and as useful information in educational planning. The first four transcripts requested are free.

TEXTBOOKS All textbooks are issued through the Textbook Room. A current student identification card (ID) is required for check out of textbooks. Textbooks, including textbooks used for UNM, CNM or IAIA coursework, are the property of the State of New Mexico and are loaned to students with the expectation that they will be used appropriately, treated with care, and returned in good condition. Our school recommends book covers on all textbooks. Charges will be assessed for lost or damaged books.

All textbooks must be returned to the Textbook Room by the end of the last day of school unless prior arrangements have been made with the textbook specialist. Students who do not return textbooks will be charged the replacement cost of the book. Students will be informed of the materials they have checked out and of any fines, fees, or other charges they have incurred.

of American Indian Arts (IAIA) oﬀer the same dual enrollment advantages to qualified juniors and seniors. Students must be oﬃcially enrolled in APS at least half time to qualify for dual credit enrollment. Remedial and non-APS approved courses are not tuition-free. Approved classes are tuition-free, and APS pays for required textbooks (which MUST be returned to the high school book room upon completion of the course). Dual credit is awarded using the chart below. NOT ALL CNM, UNM and IAIA COURSES QUALIFY AS DUAL CREDIT COURSES. Check with your school counselor.

For more information about Dual Credit:

• Talk to your school counselor

• Go to cnm.edu/dualcredit or the UNM website

• Call CNM’s School Relations Department at (505) 224-4238

• Call UNM’s Admission Oﬃce at (505) 277-3430

• Call IAIA’s Academic Outreach Oﬃce at (505) 424-2341

DISTANCE LEARNING Blended online course instruction is delivered in both face-to-face and online settings. Students are required to complete assignments and take exams as described in the course syllabus. Computer labs are available on site for students who do not have access to technology at home. Space is limited in all classes, with priority given to seniors who are lacking the distance learning graduation requirement. Students wishing to enroll in one or more classes must meet with their counselors to obtain a permission form prior to the registration period. Registration is the same process for online courses as face-to-face courses at each school.

Online courses are also available through eCADEMY, an APS School of Choice. eCADEMY registration is held in August and January. In December, there is early registration for seniors who want to take courses in the spring.

We recommend students not take more than 3 online courses at one time, or if this is their first experience, students should only enroll in one class.

See your counselor for more information and before registering for any courses. It is important remember that some distance learning courses may no meet NCAA requirements. If you are a high school athlete, check with your school counselor for more information.

HONORS AND ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAMS The Honors and Advanced Placement Program is the most academically challenging curriculum that our district oﬀers. These courses are available to all students. Honors courses in the freshman and sophomore years prepare students for Advanced Placement (AP) classes, most of which are oﬀered at the junior and senior levels. AP courses are based on guidelines from the College Board and have been approved by the College Board. They expose students to college level curriculum, emphasize critical thinking skills, and provide preparation for the Advanced Placement examination. Students who pass the Advanced Placement examination may earn college credit (credit varies among colleges). Advanced Placement examinations are administered in May of each year.

Taking the Advanced Placement examination is highly recommended.

Most AP courses require an average of 1-2 hours of homework every night. Students should carefully consider their overall academic load when making course selections.

The schedule of classes is based on student requests. Advanced Placement courses will be oﬀered based on suﬃcient enrollment.

MANZANO HIGH SCHOOL

Moving students in or out of Honors or AP classes will be considered only during the first six (6) weeks of first semester and the first ten (10) days of second semester. There are procedures involved. Please contact your counselor at the first indication the student cannot be successful in an AP class.

All Honors and Advanced Placement courses will be awarded a weighted grade. An extra 0.025 will be added to the cumulative GPA for each semester of an Honors or Advanced Placement class successfully completed. There is no limit for the number of Advanced Placement courses a student may take.

CAREER CLUSTER AND WORKPLACE READINESS COURSES A career cluster course, a workplace readiness course, or a modern, classical, or native language course meets one of the high school graduation requirements.

THE NEXT STEP PLAN Completion and annual revision of a Next Step Plan (NSP) is a New Mexico Public Education Department graduation requirement. The purpose of the Next Step Plan is to involve pertinent people in each student’s life (the student, the student’s parent(s) or guardian(s), school counselor, school advisor, and others as appropriate) who work collaboratively with the student in developing goals and plans that prepare the student for a prospective career and personal future. The NSP is a living, working document, reviewed and updated annually, culminating during the 12th grade year in a transition plan for a post-secondary or career related future.

SPECIAL EDUCATION PATHWAYS FOR GRADUATION There are three pathways by which Special Education students may earn a diploma: the Standard, Career, and Ability pathways, described below. The pathway selected for each student is determined by his or her Individual Education Plan (IEP).

• Standard Pathway – students must meet the standard graduation requirements and pass the graduation assessment.

• Career Pathway –students must earn the total number of credits required for graduation, but the credits don’t have to be those courses specified by the PED for graduation. Students must take the graduation assessment and earn the cut scores determined in their IEPs. Students must also complete career goals determined in their IEPs.

• Ability Pathway –students must earn the total number of credits required for graduation, complete goals determined in the IEP, and complete the Alternate Graduation Assessment.

General Information

A career cluster course is an identified career-technical education course. These courses are part of an aligned, sequential series of classes within a related grouping of occupations in a given industry sector. Completing a series of career cluster courses may result in industryrecognized certification or a post-secondary degree and add relevance to the high school curriculum.

A workplace readiness course is designed specifically to address entry-level career skill requirements, standards, and benchmarks as identified under Career-Technical Education in the “Standards of Excellence.”

The registrar works with the Special Education Head Teacher and Transition Specialist to verify eligibility for graduation.

GRADE LEVEL CLASSIFICATION Students must earn a set number of credits before they are classified at the next grade level. The following table illustrates the number of credits required for classification at each grade level.

Graduate

During the summer, the school reclassifies students (keeps them with the same grade classification) who do not meet these minimum requirements.

Grade levels are NOT reevaluated at mid-year. See Student Agenda for exceptions.

EARLY GRADUATES Students who wish to graduate before their graduating class should be aware of the following requirements:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Students must declare their plans to their school counselor during the period of time between the beginning of their sophomore year and before the start of the second semester of their junior year.

Students must enroll in senior classes (English 12, a fourth math course, government and economics) during their graduating (3rd) year. Failure to do so will jeopardize their plans for early graduation.

Early graduates must take and pass the 11th grade NMSBA (New Mexico Standards Based Assessment) / HSGA (High School Graduation Assessment). They will be classified as juniors when the diploma is granted.

Students completing graduation requirements at mid-year may participate in the spring commencement and receive their diplomas at that time. Diplomas are not issued midyear.

Students who complete graduation requirements at mid-year must follow withdrawal procedures at the end of Semester I.

CLASS RANKING After grade point averages (GPAs) are calculated for all students, the students in each graduating class are ranked in order and assigned their class rank. The student with the highest GPA in a class is ranked number one in the class, the student with the next highest GPA is ranked number two, and so on. Students with the same GPA receive the same rank. The preliminary ranking for seniors is usually available shortly after October 1st. The oďŹ&#x192;cial ranking occurs after the 8th semester. If you are applying for early college admission, simply indicate that oďŹ&#x192;cial ranking will be available at a later date.

MANZANO HIGH SCHOOL

DIPLOMAS Your legal name should appear on your school records and your diploma. If your name is incorrect or misspelled, please notify the registrar. A graduation list will be available in mid spring before diplomas are ordered. Students are responsible for checking the list to make sure their names are on the list and spelled the way they want them to be printed on the diploma.

21ST CENTURY SKILLS

On an academic level, every child in our district will:

• Read by the third grade

• Complete the 8th grade with essential reading, writing, and math skills

• Complete Algebra I successfully at the 9th grade

• Upon graduation, every child in our district will be college or career ready, with these skills:

• Critical thinking and problem-solving ability

• Collaboration and teamwork skills

• Adaptability

• Initiative

• Eﬀective oral and writing abilities

• The ability to access and analyze information

• The ability to create and imagine

• Using this list as a benchmark for critical thinking and problem solving, APS has intertwined a mixture of skill and knowledge practices for students. The challenge is delivering content and skills in a rich way that genuinely improves outcomes for all APS students.

General Information

Background: The APS Academic Plan provides a framework for a district direction, setting priorities, re-allocating resources, creating new schools and management systems, and building the capacity of our staﬀ. As part of the Albuquerque community, APS enjoys strong relationships with many important groups including business leaders, politicians, community activists, and our parents. These groups share common beliefs in terms of expectations for our schools and the quality of education delivered to our young people. As part of our curricular plan, we have conducted formal and informal research within our business and workforce communities. Results of this research point out that our business community is united around the idea that students need certain skills to be successful and compete in today’s global workforce. At the core of these skills are critical thinking and problem solving abilities. At APS we call these the “21st Century Skills.”

EXIT EXAMS AND OTHER TESTING INFORMATION Every high school student graduating in 2015 or later must take and pass the state standards based assessment in Reading, Math, and Science. Students must reach a set score on each part:

• • • •

1137 in Reading,

1137 in Math OR

2273 in ELA and Math combined and

1138 in Science

COURSE CATALOG 2015-2017

Students will have more than 1 chance to pass the state standards based assessment (SBA):

• • •

10th grade (ELA and Math)

11th grade (ELA, Math, Science)

12th grade (ELA, Math as PARCC or Science as SBA)

Students must also pass an end of course test in Writing administered in grade 11 and again in grade 12.

For Social Studies students must pass ONE of these: end of course exams in Economics, Government, NM History, World History, US History.

Alternate Demonstration of Competencies

General Information

Students who are not able to demonstrate their competencies in these five areas have an alternative pathway – the alternate demonstration of competencies (ADC). These are ways to show skills for graduation instead of the state achievement tests. ADCs are available to students once they have taken the SBA each time it is oﬀered.

If students do not pass the SBA in math or do not reach the combined score needed in reading and math to pass math there is an alternative pathway. If students have taken and passed an Algebra II course, they may use the Algebra I end of course exam if they have taken but not passed the SBA math each time it has been oﬀered.

Students graduating in 2015 may use the district approved Alternative Demonstration of Competencies. That form is available from your counselor and is found on the APS website under Parents/testing. Students must meet with their counselors to determine the most appropriate demonstration and record their options for their cumulative record.

Using the district ADC will result in a standard New Mexico high school diploma provided the student has taken and passed all of the required courses.

Optional Tests

These are optional tests for all students but may serve as students’ ADC if they need an alternative to the SBA.

1. PSAT – 10th graders – pre-test for the ACT which gives students information on their strengths and weaknesses to help them prepare for the ACT. It includes a career interest inventory.

2. PSAT/NMSQT – 11th graders – pre-test for the SAT and qualifying test for National Merit Scholarships, National Achievement Scholarships for Outstanding Black Students, and the National Hispanic Scholar Recognition Program. 10th graders may elect to participate in the PSAT to qualify as a National Merit Semi-Finalists.

3. ACT– 11th and 12th graders – required for admission to colleges and universities and accepted at all New Mexico schools.

4. SAT and subject tests – 11th and 12th graders – college admission test preferred by some out-of-state colleges and universities.

5. Advanced Placement (AP) examinations – may result in college credit and advanced placement in the college program, depending on the student’s scores and the each college’s specific policy.

6. ACCUPLACER – 9th -12th graders – Exams in reading, English, math and writing that determine course placement in the community college program.

7. International baccalaureate exams (IB) – for students attending an IB program and participating in the IB exams; these exams may serve as an ADC.

If a student transferred to an APS high school from another state he/she may be able to use that state’s exit exam scores to meet these requirements.

MANZANO HIGH SCHOOL

Special Education Graduation requirements, including passing scores on the exit exams, may vary for students with an Individualized Education Plan. Contact your school’s special education department chair for more information.

Graduation Requirements Students will find all of the graduation requirements in a chart and all the scores they must meet for each test to use as their ADC on the APS website.

Make sure students use the chart that matches their graduation year.

Other Assessments Other assessments of scholastic aptitude and vocational interests are available through the counseling oﬃce. One example is the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB).

COLLEGE INFORMATION College Preparatory Program Admission requirements vary widely among colleges and universities; consequently, students and their parents are urged to research entrance requirements for specific institutions. For example, some universities require a fine arts credit for admission; some colleges and universities calculate grade point average (GPA) for core courses only. School counselors are helpful in providing college information. Students and parents are encouraged to visit the counseling link on the school website for more information.

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are recommended for college preparedness. See the course oﬀerings section in this catalog for Advanced Placement options.

COLLEGE PREPARATION AND ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES Students should obtain information from their prospective college to determine whether the school participates in and awards credit through the Advanced Placement (AP) and/or the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations. School counselors have more information on both programs. Please note the following information is for colleges and universities, not high schools.

General Information

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) PROGRAM Many colleges and universities participate in the College Board Advanced Placement Program. The program grants advanced standing in courses and credit for college courses through AP examinations administered at our school in May of each year. Students may receive advanced placement or credit from a participating college or university based on their examination performance.

COLLEGE-LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP)

Many colleges and universities participate in the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), which allows students to gain advanced standing and college-level credit to fulfill basic graduation requirements and/or accelerate their program of study to graduate early.

There are two kinds of CLEP examinations. The general examinations are given in the areas of English composition, humanities, natural sciences, mathematics, and social sciences. The subject examination is used to award credit in specific college courses. These are given by the college or university.

DEPARTMENTAL EXAMINATIONS

In some cases, students may receive advanced placement and college credit by passing a department qualifying examination at a college or university. Students should approach their prospective college for specific information.

NEW MEXICO FIRST SEMESTER* AND LOTTERY SCHOLARSHIPS IMPORTANT NOTE: New Mexico postsecondary institutions have diﬀerent criteria for accessing this scholarship money (diﬀerent admission deadlines for receiving these awards, semesters in which these awards can be used, exams that must be taken prior to receiving the awards, financial aide applications that must be completed prior to receiving the awards etc.). Students should check with the post-secondary institution to which they are applying for scholarship criteria.

ADDITIONAL EDUCATIONAL AND ACTIVITY OPPORTUNITIES CAREER ACADEMIES Introduction and Definitions

A career academy is a small learning community inclusive of all students. Each Academy has a broad-based career theme with programs of study that meet graduation requirements and post-secondary education entry requirements. Academies oﬀer integrated sequences of courses based on “National Career Clusters,” provide work-based experiences, and have strong community partnerships with businesses and post-secondary institutions. Students select an Academy based on their potential career interests. A description of career academies identifies three defining characteristics:

Rigor

• Strong programs of study integrate core content and courses supporting career choices in a defined sequence.

• Course curricula and learning goals meet or exceed state standards.

• Curriculum can be remediated or accelerated, recognizing student need for more or less time to master course goals.

• Common expectations exist for high quality teacher preparation and quality teaching.

• Academies are inclusive of ALL students.

Relevance

• Programs of study are thematic and interdisciplinary.

• Links and partnerships are established with business, post-secondary institutions, and community colleges.

• Dual enrollment or certification is oﬀered.

• Pathways are developed by student interest, economic indicators, and national trends.

• Job shadowing, mentorships, and internships related to career pathways are available.

Relationships

• Advisement for individual students addresses long-range planning.

• Curriculum alignment P-20 occurs (preschool through postsecondary).

General Information

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requirements apply to students who plan to participate in athletics at the college level. The NCAA was established in 1906 and serves as the athletics governing body for more than 1,300 colleges, universities, conferences and organizations. The national office is in Indianapolis, but the member colleges and universities develop the rules and guidelines for athletics eligibility and athletics competition for each of the three NCAA divisions: Division I, Division II, and Division III. One of the differences among the three divisions is that colleges and universities in Division I and II may offer athletic scholarships, while Division III colleges and universities may not. Students are responsible for adherence to NCAA course guidelines. Athletes should consult with their school counselors for assistance. (see more information on next page.)

NCAA$ELIGIBILITY$CENTER$ QUICK$REFERENCE GUIDE$

Divisions I and II Initial-Eligibility Requirements Core Courses • NCAA Division I requires 16 core courses. NCAA Division II currently requires 14 core courses. • Division II will require 16 core courses for students enrolling on or after August 1, 2013. See the charts below. • NCAA Division I will require 10 core courses to be completed prior to the seventh semester (seven of

the 10 must be a combination of English, math or natural or physical science that meet the distribution requirements below). These 10 courses become "locked in" at the seventh semester and cannot be retaken for grade improvement. o Beginning August 1, 2016, it will be possible for a Division I college-bound student-athlete to still receive athletics aid and the ability to practice with the team if he or she fails to meet the 10 course requirement, but would not be able to compete.

Test Scores • Division I uses a sliding scale to match test scores and core grade-point averages (GPA). The sliding scale for • • • •

those requirements is shown on Page No. 2 of this sheet. Division II requires a minimum SAT score of 820 or an ACT sum score of 68. The SAT score used for NCAA purposes includes only the critical reading and math sections. The writing section of the SAT is not used. The ACT score used for NCAA purposes is a sum of the following four sections: English, mathematics, reading and science. When you register for the SAT or ACT, use the NCAA Eligibility Center code of 9999 to ensure all SAT and ACT scores are reported directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center from the testing agency. Test scores that appear on transcripts will not be used.

Grade-Point Average • Be sure to look at your high school’s List of NCAA Courses on the NCAA Eligibility Center's website • • • • •

(www.eligibilitycenter.org). Only courses that appear on your school's List of NCAA Courses will be used in the calculation of the core GPA. Use the list as a guide. Division I students enrolling full time before August 1, 2016, should use Sliding Scale A to determine eligibility to receive athletics aid, practice and competition during the first year. Division I GPA required to receive athletics aid and practice on or after August 1, 2016, is 2.000 (corresponding test-score requirements are listed on Sliding Scale B) Division I GPA required to be eligible for competition on or after August 1, 2016, is 2.300 (corresponding test-score requirements are listed on Sliding Scale B). The Division II core GPA requirement is a minimum of 2.000. Remember, the NCAA GPA is calculated using NCAA core courses only.

Important NCAA Information Regarding Nontraditional Courses The rules regarding software-based credit recovery, virtual, online, independent study and correspondence courses are important to note. These types of courses, which are identified by the NCAA Eligibility Center as nontraditional courses, must meet NCAA guidelines in order to be used for college-bound student-athletes who are planning to attend an NCAA Division I or II college or university. These rules were enacted to ensure that acceptable nontraditional courses provide opportunities for students to demonstrate their work was completed in a manner consistent with the intent and design of the core-course curriculum requirements. The NCAA Eligibility Center will determine which courses and institutions are acceptable to satisfy initial-eligibility standards with the ultimate goal of ensuring that prospective student-athletes are enrolled in quality courses that satisfy the intent of the corecurriculum requirements and prepare perspective student-athletes for four-year college academic work.

General Information

What is the Criteria? Nontraditional courses must meet the following: 1. Courses that are taught through distance learning, online, credit recovery, etc. need to be comparable in length, content and rigor to courses taught in a traditional classroom setting. Students may not skip lessons or test out of modules. The course must be four-year college preparatory. 2. All courses must include ongoing access between the instructor and student, as well as regular interaction for purposes of teaching, evaluating and providing assistance. This may include, for example, exchanging of e-mails between the student and teacher, feedback on assignments, and the opportunity for the teacher to engage the student in individual instruction. 3. Any course taken must have a defined time period for completion. For example, it should be clear whether the course is taken for an entire semester or during a more condensed time frame, such as six weeks. 4. Nontraditional courses should be clearly identified as such on the high school transcript. When Does this Rule Take Effect? Division I The rule applies to courses completed on or after August 1, 2010, for students first entering an NCAA Division I college or university on or after August 1, 2010. Nontraditional courses completed prior to August 1, 2010, will be reviewed on a case-bycase basis. Division II The rule applies for students first entering an NCAA Division II college or university on or after August 1, 2011, regardless of when the non-traditional course was completed. The text of the rule appears below. 14.3.1.2.2 Nontraditional Courses. Courses taught via the Internet, distance learning, independent study, individualized instruction, correspondence, and courses taught by similar means may be used to satisfy NCAA core-course requirements if all of the following conditions are satisfied: a) The course meets all requirements for a core course as defined in Bylaw 14.3.1.2; b)

The instructor and the student have ongoing access to one another for purposes of teaching, evaluating and providing assistance to the student throughout the duration of the course;

The instructor and the student have regular interaction with one another for purposes of teaching, evaluating and providing assistance to the student throughout the duration of the course;

The studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work (e.g., exams, papers, assignments) is available for evaluation and validation;

Evaluation of the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is conducted by the appropriate academic authorities in accordance with the high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s established academic policies;

The course includes a defined time period for completion; and

The course is acceptable for any student and is placed on the high school transcript.

All plans of study should meet high school graduation requirements. For more information contact your school counselor.

WORK EXPERIENCES

PARTICIPATION IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND ATHLETICS Our school has a broad range of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities as well as athletic programs. The intertwined structure of student government provides an umbrella for student organizations and activities, which complement the academic program. Clubs will emerge and vanish as student interests vary and any student is free to organize a club and seek recognition by the student government. Groups include honorary societies, clubs associated with academic programs, performing groups, spirit groups, service clubs, recreational groups, and special interest clubs.

Participation in extra curricular activities is governed by the New Mexico Activities Association which specifies that students meet and maintain the following requirements:

• Students must be enrolled in a minimum of four classes.

• Students must attain and maintain a grade point average of 2.0 or better on a 4.0 scale.

• Students must maintain excellent attendance.

• Students may not fail more than one class per grading period.

If a student does not meet and maintain these requirements, he or she will be ineligible for participation in extra-curricular activities, including athletic participation, for the following sixweek grading period.

General Information

To prepare students for work after high school, our school oﬀers work programs in the 11th and 12th grades. Work programs enable students to have work experience with a potential employer while earning high school credit. Through work experiences as supported by a portfolio, the student explores personal and career interests, aptitudes and abilities. Personal management of time, health and finances are also addressed. The necessary components of a productive and successful career are examined: technical knowledge, responsible and ethical behavior, and goal setting. In addition to working the required hours, students are required to produce a portfolio to receive credit.

CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Academic credit toward graduation may be granted from accredited correspondence schools. This opportunity requires prior approval by the counselor and the administrator in charge of curriculum. APS has a list of approved correspondence schools from which required credit is accepted. All coursework must be completed and grades received by April 20th of the senior year in order to be credited for May graduation.
