As a general rule, the minimum number of students required to offer a class for the upcoming year must be 10 or more students. School officials will tally these requests to determine which classes will be eliminated or expanded. By planning carefully, students can avoid problems next year. Administrators will determine schedule changes. If you have any questions about this process, please contact Mr. Jensen at CHS.

Hathaway Success Curriculum The Hathaway Success Curriculum is a sequence of courses to be taken during high school to qualify students for the Wyoming Hathaway Scholarship program. This curriculum is different from Cody High School graduation requirements so students need to select courses carefully. This applies to students entering the University of Wyoming or a Wyoming community college only. Complete information is available on the Wyoming Department of Education website at www.k12.wy.us under the Hathaway Scholarship link. (See Addendum A)

State Standards: Grades 9-12

College Athletic Eligibility

Note: Courses taken via correspondence or college programs cannot count toward BOE requirements. Only those courses taught by CHS staff can be considered for BOE. All Wyoming high school graduates must demonstrate proficiency on the Wyoming Content and Performance Standards in at least five of the following content areas: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Health, Physical Education, Fine and Performing Arts, Foreign Language, and Career/Vocational Education. To plan for this requirement, during the 8th/9th grade, students prepare a graduation plan, which lists the courses they plan to complete during their high school career. Demonstration of proficiency will be validated through performance on standards-based classroom work, two performance assessments, and a final assessment specific to each course. The class work and assessments have been correlated and aligned to the State Benchmarks, which define the State Standards. Successful performance in the standards-based classroom will indicate mastery of aligned standards. Students not making satisfactory progress toward proficiency may have their course selection plans altered or may have specific independent projects assigned involving work in the areas of identified weakness. Students transferring into Park County School District #6 will be required to provide evidence of proficiency in the standards. This may be accomplished by transcript review, information from the previous school district, interviews and customized projects or assessments. (See Addendum B)

Students hoping to participate in NCAA Division I or II collegiate athletics must maintain a minimum high school GPA in a specified number of core courses. The core areas include math, English, science, social science and foreign language. Remedial and special education courses do not satisfy these requirements. Applied Math I & II, Applied Communication, and our various Strategic classes do NOT count as core courses in the NCAA system. For more details about the number of core classes and minimum high school GPAs you must maintain, please visit www.eligibilitycenter.org. Student athletes should take the ACT in the spring of their junior year. College coaches hesitate to speak with athletes until these scores are available. These scores also factor into initial eligibility for the college freshman year. Athletes can initiate the NCAA eligibility process as early as beginning of junior year by registering at the website. Student athletes must also meet admission requirements for the schools they are considering. Many colleges require athletes to graduate in the top 50% of their class, so student athletes should also be mindful of class rank.

Repeating a Class Students may choose to retake a course, but both the original and retake grades will appear on the transcript and calculate in the Cumulative Grade Point Average.

Schedule Change Guidelines Students must request their courses with care. The ability to change a student schedule once its been established has limitations. Listed below are the appropriate reasons to change a schedule. 1. When a course has been incorrectly scheduled (a class you did not request). 2. When a graduation requirement has not been met. 3. When there is a conflict in the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. 4. When a college to which the student is applying has a specific entrance requirement. 5. When the student has a failing grade in a prerequisite class. 6. When the student does not meet the prerequisites for a course. 7. When classes were successfully completed during summer school, correspondence, etc. 8. When a student has a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical waiver (physical/emotional/etc. reasons). 9. When a teacher or administrator makes the recommendation.

Early Graduation: Early graduation from CHS is not recommended. Students who have significant personal needs (e.g. military, family relocation, medical, etc.) may make special application through the administrative office. Supporting documentation will be required in all instances. It is recommended that seniors completing all graduation requirements early consider a full 8-semester schedule, an extended work experience internship, concurrent enrollment class with NWC, or even a partial day schedule and a combination of work experience or concurrent enrollment.

Concurrent Enrollment Policy Cody High School has a memorandum of understanding with Northwest College to potentially provide concurrent enrollment options for high school students to earn both college and high school credit. Concurrent courses are college-approved courses taught by high school teachers who have been approved as adjunct faculty and who teach these classes during the traditional high school day. Students must meet eligibility requirements to enroll in concurrent classes. Availability of concurrent courses is based on approved adjunct faculty and approval of the course. Additional information on these courses is available from the guidance center.

Activity Eligibility

Advanced Placement Test Option

Cody High School urges all students to participate in extracurricular activities. Contact the CHS Activities Office for a current list of activities and sports. We are proud of the fact that over 70% of CHS students are involved in at least one activity. 1. The student must have passed three (3) blocks at the end of the previous semester to be eligible for interscholastic representation during the current semester. Any student with an alternating block, must pass four of the five blocks. 2. The student must be passing all blocks at a time of representation. This will be monitored on a weekly (Tuesday to Tuesday) basis. The suspension will be enforced the following Tuesday for one week.

These exams are given each spring upon request. Students scoring well on these exams may earn college credit or be waived through some freshmen coursework in college. The Honors classes listed above should prepare you for the AP test.

Highly Selective Colleges and Programs (Such as Harvard, Stanford, Military Academies, & ROTC Scholarships) Warning: The following recommendations apply ONLY to those highly selective programs. Only students pursuing these levels of competition will need to abide by these recommendations. These programs ask school counselors to “rate the rigor of this student’s coursework in each core academic area.” In order to earn the highest rating students are urged to consider Honors and AP classes.

Grades of “F” or “Incomplete” are not considered to be passing. Courses offered for "no credit" cannot be considered for eligibility purposes.

Transition Program The goal of the Transition program is to provide individualized instruction for students who are at risk of not graduating, who are significantly behind in earning the required number of credits, and for students who may be experiencing problems that lead to difficulties in being successful in a regular classroom. Students are accepted into Transition school ONLY upon a recommendation from a counselor and by approval of the administration/transition team.

Honors Classes Honors courses are developed by Cody High School staff to meet the needs of accelerated students and students who desire greater academic rigor. In Honors classes, the pace of instruction is quicker; curriculum is covered in more depth and with greater rigor. Honors classes require extensive work outside the classroom in order for students to keep pace with instruction. Honors classes have extended reading assignments, additional writing assignments, and higher expectations for completing work Students who enroll in Honors classes demonstrate strong academic success such as grades and work ethic. Honors classes do not earn college credit. Students who take Honors classes can challenge the Advanced Placement exams in the same curriculum area. Honors classes receive a weighted grade when computing the weighted cumulative grade point average.

Assured Admissions

Community / Junior CollegesAssociate Degrees / Transfer Programs

To qualify for assured admission to the University of Wyoming high school graduates must meet the following admission requirements.

These schools usually offer “open admission”, meaning they will accept any student who has earned an accredited high school diploma, G.E.D or home school program. Programs are designed to take students from where they are to where they want to be.

Graduates of a Wyoming high school must have a cumulative high school grade point average of 2.75 or above based on a 4.0 grading scale, with a composite ACT score of at least 20 or a SAT composite score of at least 960 (combined math and verbal).

Students will take placement tests to determine if they are ready for college level course work. If they are not ready, they will pay tuition to take remedial course work that doesn’t count as college credit. Hathaway Scholarship money does not apply towards remedial courses.

Graduates with less than 30 transferable college credit hours must have a cumulative transferable college grade point average of at least 2.0, in addition to the requirements for Wyoming school graduates.

This will cause delays in taking other course work so a college program will take longer. We encourage students to take advantage of the free courses offered in high school to avoid unnecessary costs and delays.

All freshmen students must have completed at least 13 high school units from the following precollege curriculum (one unit=one year): • Four units of English • Three units of mathematics (Alg I, II, Geom) • Three units of science • Three cultural context units

ACT & SAT I Preparation All CHS students take the PLAN test as sophomores. They are encouraged to take Expository Writing as juniors, even if they plan to take Advanced Composition as seniors. Expository Writing will review concepts covered in the ACT & SAT English sections. Students will also perform better on these tests if they’ve completed Algebra I, Geometry and most of Algebra II and Chemistry I prior to testing. Students are urged to practice for the ACT and the SAT. Students are also urged to READ regularly throughout high school.

While this course work will allow you to be accepted, it does not necessarily insure your success in freshman year. Students are urged to go above and beyond this course work in core areas.

Conditional Admissions/Admission by Exception

Career & Technical Scholarships

Admission with conditions may be granted if you don’t qualify for assured admission but can satisfy the following requirements. You must be a graduate of an accredited high school with at least a 2.5 GPA or a 2.25 GPA with a composite ACT score of at least 20 or a composite SAT score of at least 960 (combined math and verbal). If you’re concerned about your changes for admission, you may want to include an essay and letters of recommendation with your application.

Many community colleges and technical/trade schools offer scholarships to students who have strong skills/talents in a career/technical area. Taking a comprehensive sequence of course work in 1-2 elective areas and being involved in a career/technical student association such as Skills U.S.A., FFA or FBLA can lead to scholarships.

Some Out-Of-State College Requirements The courses required by UW parallel those required by most public 4-year universities. Depending on the state, the following course work may also be required: 1 to 2 credits in computer course work. 1 to 2 credits in fine arts. 2 credits in a foreign language. Consult admissions requirements for out-of- state colleges.
