REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION
ACADEMIC LETTER
Students achieving a 3.7 GPA on a 4.0 scale will be awarded an Academic Letter. If a student acquires a 3.7 GPA during any
semester thereafter, he/she will receive a “Lamp of Learning” pin.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) CLASSES
The Advanced Placement Program affords students the opportunity to complete college-level courses in high school.
Participating colleges grant credit and appropriate placement based on the scores that students achieve on the AP examination.
Students who complete an AP course are expected to take the appropriate AP examination at their own expense. Students are
not required to be enrolled in an AP course to take an AP exam.
ADVISORY
As a means of increasing the positive and meaningful relationships among students and staff in the Agua Fria Union High School
District, each student will be assigned to an Advisory. Advisory allows one teacher or staff member to work with and get to know
a group of students. Advisory programs promote healthy student development and academic success. They assure that each
student has one adult who knows him or her well, and help create stronger bonds among young people.
AIMS SCIENCE TEST
The AIMS Science Test is a standards-based assessment that measures student proficiency of the Arizona Academic Content
Standards in Science. The State Board of Education requires that all students take the AIMS Science test, which is administered
in the spring of each school year. Students enrolled in Biology will be scheduled to take the exam in the spring. Students are
encouraged to use the study guides and practice tests found at the Arizona Department of Education website:
http://azed.gov/assessment/aimssupportmaterials
ALGEBRA EXTENSION REQUIREMENTS
Students identified below 9th grade level on District Math assessments are required to enroll in Algebra
Extension. This course corresponds to the tiers of the Response to Intervention model, and students will
remain in the course until district exit requirements have been met
AMERICAN CIVICS ACT TEST
Beginning with the Class of 2017, the American Civics Act (HB 2064) passed on January 15, 2015, requires students to pass a
civics test in order to graduate from high school. Agua Fria Union High School District will provide multiple opportunities for
students to take and pass this exam to meet the state graduation requirement.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
A.R.S. 15-803B mandates that 90% attendance is required in each class to receive credit. If a student reaches 10 absences
(excused or unexcused) in a class, they jeopardize their ability to earn credit in that class.
AzMERIT
In the spring of 2015, the State Board of Education began administering a new proficiency exam to students enrolled in English
Language Arts and Mathematics courses called AzMERIT (Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform
Teaching).
CHALLENGE/EOCA (End of Course Assessment) TEST

Any student who feels sufficiently skilled, knowledgeable, and accomplished in a specific area can choose to take a
Challenge/End of Course Assessment test in any class in the Agua Fria Union High School District. Students must
work with their guidance counselor to take a Challenge/End of Course Assessment test within the first five days of
enrollment in class. A student must receive 80% on the Challenge/End of Course Assessment test in order to pass;
Percentages will not be “rounded up.” The student will receive full credit for that class, and a grade of pass (P) will be
recorded on the student’s transcript. Students may not take a Challenge/End of Course Assessment test in a class
they have previously taken nor in which they have previously failed. Parents and student must sign application form
before Challenge/End of Course Assessment test(s) will be administered. This completed application will be retained
by the school and placed in the student’s file along with the results of the Challenge/End of Course Assessment exam
upon administration and scoring. Students will have the equivalent equal to that amount of time for any End of Course
1
Assessment in which to take the exam. A student will be given only one (1) chance to take the Challenge/End of
Course Assessment exam per course. NO retakes will be allowed.

A student who enrolls in a District high school after receiving instruction in a home school may receive District high
school credit toward graduation if the student has earned course credit through an accredited institution and provides
the site registrar with an official transcript from the accredited institution. Former home school students who enroll in
the Agua Fria Union High School District are required to take and pass with a minimum of 80% the Challenge/End of
Course Assessment exam for any home school course for which the student cannot provide an official transcript from
an accredited institution. Upon passing an exam, a grade of (P) pass will be recorded on the student’s transcript. A
student may take an “exam for credit” only once for each subject/course. Any testing for credit will include Arizona
State Board of Education competency standards. Parents/legal guardians should note that colleges and universities
may have specific limitations on pass/fail credits for their admission standards.
CHANGE OF CLASS SCHEDULE
The schedule of classes offered is based on student requests made during the spring registration process of the previous school
year; therefore, it is imperative for each student to determine those requests carefully. Once the student’s daily class schedule
has been established for the year, that class schedule may be changed ONLY under the following circumstances:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Completion of a class by online or summer school
Failure of a prerequisite course
Changes necessary because of health reasons
Changes necessary to satisfy graduation requirements
Administrative changes such as course conflicts, unbalanced class enrollments or student misplacement
Student-initiated changes that meet the above requirements must be made during the registration process. If students cannot
wait to complete the change, they should return on another day during registration. (Extenuating circumstances that would not
permit completion during registration include obtaining instructor permission and signature to enroll in a particular course.)
CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE
Graduation requirements established by the Governing Board may be met by a student who passes courses in the required or
elective subjects at a community college or university if the course is at a higher level than the course taught in the high school
attended by the student or, if the course is not taught in the high school attended by the student, the level of the course shall be
equal to or higher than the level of a high school course.
The Agua Fria Union High School District Governing Board shall award one-half (1/2) Carnegie unit of credit for each semester
course of three (3), four (4), or five (5) hours of approved credit completed with a passing grade. No partial credit will be given.
College course work will be graded on the following scale: A = 4 points, B = 3 points, C = 2 points, D = 1 point, F = 0 points. In
order to use this course for high school credit, a student must submit to the school counselor for signature, the special
admission form provided by the college.
To qualify for concurrent enrollment at a community college or a university while attending a school in the Agua Fria Union High
School District, a student must complete the concurrent enrollment forms to be approved by the high school counselor. In
addition the individual college or university may have additional conditions for enrollment that are the responsibility of the
student. Students are responsible to provide an official transcript at the completion of the course to the high school registrar.
COURSE AVAILABILITY
Courses listed herein are for the current school year. The final decision to offer a course will be dependent upon the following
factors: (1) Classroom space; (2) Availability of a certified and/or highly qualified teacher; (3) Enrollment standards are met (a
minimum number of students enrolled); (4) Ability of the district to financially support the program. In addition, any proposed new
course must meet the following criteria: (1) Completion of a course request packet (including curriculum map aligning with state
standards, mid-term exam, and End of Course Assessment); (2) District approval for recommendation to Governing Board; (3)
Governing Board approval.
COURSE LEVEL Honors (H), Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB)
The courses offered in the Agua Fria Union High School District have been designed to challenge students. These courses are
rigorous and provide relevance. Honors courses are designated as H level courses. Advanced Placement (AP) and
International Baccalaureate (IB) classes are specifically designed as the most rigorous in the District’s curriculum. AP and IB
2
classes follow a nationally recognized collegiate level curriculum. Students should contact their particular college for information
regarding credit in these classes.
COURSE REPEATED FOR A GRADE IMPROVEMENT
Though all courses may be repeated to raise a grade, credit toward graduation is only earned once for any class. When a class
is taken a second time for grade improvement, the credit and the higher grade will be listed on the official transcript and included
in the grade point average (GPA) calculation. When a class is taken for grade improvement the class must be taken during the
school day. The class in which the lower grade was earned will remain on the official transcript, but will not be included in GPA
calculation. A+/Transition/CWA courses may not be taken for the purpose of improving a grade.
DISTRICT GRADING SCALE
The following grading scale is used in all courses to report grades:
A
= 100% to 90%
B
= less than 90% to 80%
C
D
F
= less than 60%
P
= Pass
I
= Incomplete
NC
= No Credit
Note: The teacher is not required to round up a percentage to a higher grade. A pass/fail may be given in specific
circumstances (i.e., district summer school, credit recovery, IEP) or where indicated in the course description book.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
Dual enrollment is an opportunity for students, while still in high school and taking classes on the high school campus, to earn
college and/or university credit . Dual enrollment will be offered when possible if all of the following conditions are met:
1. An intergovernmental agreement and addendum have been approved and signed by the Agua Fria Union High
School District Governing Board and the specific college and/or university;
2. The individual high school teacher has met the course and/or other requirements, including fees, set forth by the
individual community college;
3. The college and/or university competencies must align with the high school curriculum.
As a result, offerings may vary from year to year and campus to campus. The Agua Fria Union High School District currently has
an intergovernmental agreement with Grand Canyon University and with Maricopa Community College District (Estrella Mountain
Community College.) However, all other criteria as noted above must be met in order to provide a dual enrollment opportunity.
Representatives from Grand Canyon University are available on campus at the beginning of each semester to assist interested
students in completing the appropriate registration paperwork and taking any needed math placement tests.
Please contact a member of the counseling department for further information regarding the availability of dual enrollment
opportunities at Grand Canyon University or Maricopa Community College District (Estrella Mountain Community College).
ECAP
An ECAP (Education and Career Action Plan) reflects a student's current plan of coursework, career aspirations, and extended
learning opportunities in order to develop the student's individual academic and career goals. All students will work with their
teachers, advisors and counselors in developing and updating their ECAP.
EQUAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
The right of a student to participate fully in classroom instruction shall not be abridged or impaired because of a person’s race,
color, religion, sex (including sexual preference/identity), age, national origin, and disability, or any other reason not related to the
student’s individual capabilities.
GIFTED EDUCATION
The purpose of gifted education in the Agua Fria Union High School District is to identify and motivate highly able students to
realize their full potential. The district seeks to formally identify and serve students whose cognitive aptitude is determined to be
significantly beyond the level of their peers. Their academic achievement may or may not commensurate with their ability at the
3
time of the identification. Differentiated instruction and other services ensure that identified students achieve at levels
commensurate with their abilities. Services will be provided within the school day.

college/university entrance.

COMMENCEMENT: A student may not participate in the commencement ceremony until all graduation requirements
have been met, all fees are paid, and the senior checkout sheet is completed and approved.

EARLY GRADUATION: Early Graduation Request forms are available in the guidance office. Request for early
graduation must be submitted and approved during junior year course selection. Completion of this form does NOT
guarantee Early Graduation. All District and State policies, regulations, and requirements for graduation must be met.
A+/Transition courses are NOT for the purpose of original credit(s) for a senior who wants to graduate early.
Diplomas for early graduates will be available at the same time all other diplomas are available. Students and
counselors are responsible for communicating with each other to ensure that all course credits are earned prior to
graduation. Students will assume full responsibility for obtaining graduation materials and meeting dates related to
graduation. A student may rescind his/her request for Early Graduation in writing to their counselor. Once the form to
rescind Early Graduation is processed, no further request to graduate early can be made.
Beginning with the 2016-2017 school year, schools in the Agua Fria Union High School District will transition from their
current 4-period block schedule to an alternative schedule currently being worked on by each site. Transition to the
new “hybrid schedule” means a change in graduation requirements for the following graduating classes and will be
adjusted as listed below:
CREDIT REQUIREMENTS BEGINNING SCHOOL YEAR 2016-2017 AND FORWARD
PENDING GOVERNING BOARD APPROVAL
The number of credits required to graduate will be adjusted while each cohort progresses through their four years in high school.
On the current 2015-2016 block schedule, students have 32 opportunities to earn the 28 credits required for graduation. For the
Cohort of 2017 (Class of 2017) students will have two less credit opportunities (30); for the Cohort of 2018 students will have four
less opportunities than they currently have; and for the Cohort of 2019 students will have six less credit opportunities. As a
result, credits for graduation will continue to be adjusted through the Cohort of 2020. This will be the first graduating class to
have been on the hybrid schedule all four years. (See table below.)

GUIDANCE OFFICE
The Guidance Office is open to all students and staff. Counselors promote student success through the implementation of a
school counseling program that addresses the academic, career, and personal/ social needs of students. Counselors act as
liaisons between teachers, parents, and students. A district psychologist is also available at each campus.
HOMESCHOOL CREDIT
A student who enrolls in a District high school after receiving instruction in a home school may receive District high school credit
toward graduation if the student has earned course credit through an accredited institution and provides the site registrar with an
official transcript from the accredited institution. Former home school students who enroll in high school are required to take and
pass with a minimum of 80% a Challenge/End of Course Assessment exam for any home school course for which the student
cannot provide an official transcript from an accredited institution. Upon passing an exam, a (P) pass will be recorded on the
student’s transcript. A student may take an “exam for credit” only once for each subject/course. Any testing for credit will include
Arizona State Board of Education competency standards. Parents/legal guardians should note that colleges and universities
may have specific limitations on pass/fail credits for their admission standards.
HOMEWORK POLICY
The Agua Fria Union High School District Governing Board recognizes that development of study skills and self-discipline are
integral and indispensable elements of a quality educational process.
Homework should be assigned on a routine and systematic basis consistent with the maturity, special needs, potential, and
achievement level of the individual student. Students have a responsibility to actively pursue knowledge without any supervision
outside, as well as within, the classroom.
It is critical that all students understand that mastery of skill is not always possible within the time constraint of the classroom. All
students should exit the system with a firm foundation for pursuing knowledge and developing skills on an independent basis.
Each subject area department has developed its own policy regarding the assignment of homework and the impact that
completed homework will have on a student’s grade however it cannot exceed fifteen percent of the student’s total grade per
Governing Board Policy (IKB-R). Students should be certain to have a full understanding of the homework expectations for each
course.
HONOR ROLL AND HIGH HONORS
At the end of each quarter, an Honor Roll will be posted. The following basic considerations will be used to govern the Honor
Roll:
1. Participation is required in a minimum of six subjects for grades 9, 10, 11; five subjects for grade 12.
2. All courses taken for credit are utilized in the computation.
3. Those courses designed as Honors or Advance Placement/International Baccalaureate will be weighted as
follows:
Recorded
Grade
A
B
C
Regular
Course
4
3
2
Honors Class (H)
5

Advanced Placement (AP)
International Baccalaureate (IB)

4.
5.
Any student who receives a grade of D or F in any subject will be ineligible for placement on the honor roll.
A student must earn a 3.0 for honor roll and a 4.0 for high honor roll.
Note: Transfer students will have their grades adjusted so that the grades they earn in previous accredited schools will be
considered equally with those of all other Agua Fria UHSD students.
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB)
International Baccalaureate (IB) courses are available at Millennium High School. IB courses prepare students to take IB exams
that are administered around the world in late spring of each school year. Students can earn the International Baccalaureate
Diploma by successfully completing the entire IB curriculum and attaining qualifying scores on the IB exams or enroll in selected
IB courses as a Diploma Course student. Students are required to be enrolled in the IB program to take an IB exam.
NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (NCAA) ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Students need to be aware of the eligibility requirements if they intend to go to a college or university on an athletic scholarship
or participate in any Division I or II sports. Please contact your school counselor, athletic coach, athletic director or the NCAA
website for specific details.
NON-TRADITIONAL PROGRAMS: COLDWATER ACADEMY/A+/TRANSITION
The Agua Fria Union High School District offers several alternative educational opportunities. The goal is to provide a learning
environment to foster student success in meeting high school graduation requirements and provide a transitional setting until
students can return to the traditional classroom. Students will be scheduled into alternative programs and will participate in
various learning activities to meet their individual needs.
The A+ Transition program is designed to support juniors and seniors who are currently behind in credits and off-track
for graduation with their Cohort. Eligible juniors and seniors may take one A+ transition lab class per semester during
the regular school day. Additional opportunities to recover credit are available before or after school. Freshmen and
sophomores shall not be enrolled in transition lab classes except for health when in conjunction with marching band,
dance, and special physical education circumstances.
With the exception of the A+ Health course, students in the 9th grade are not eligible to participate in an online course.
Students taking an English IV class through any non-traditional program are required to write a research paper.
A+/Transition/CWA courses may not be taken for the purpose of improving a grade. Students must complete 60% of
the class in the lab on campus and take the final exam in person in the lab.
ONLINE INSTRUCTION THROUGH AN EXTERNAL SOURCE (These are NOT A+ Courses)
The Agua Fria Union High School Districts offers online instructional opportunities through an external source. To be eligible to
take an Agua Fria Union High School District online course through an external source, students must be enrolled as a “full time”
student. All online courses are taught by an appropriately certified and highly qualified teacher in the content for which the course
is assigned, and according to state and federal guidelines.
Online courses (not A+) taken OUTSIDE of the student’s regular school day schedule will NOT be calculated into the student’s
grade point average (GPA). Students taking an online course as part of their regular school day schedule will have the course
grade calculated into their GPA.
Some online courses may NOT satisfy the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requirements and therefore may not
be counted toward post-secondary athletic eligibility. Some online courses may NOT satisfy the Arizona Board of Regents
requirements for college and/or university entrance. Students are required to check with their counselor before taking an online
course to determine if the course affects their post-secondary eligibility or entrance.
The Non-traditional Programs Coordinator’s signature is REQUIRED for enrollment in an external online program.
There is a $50 deposit required at the time of registration for these external online courses. Deposits are non-refundable after
the 5th day of the start of the semester. Course fee must be paid in full before student can begin the class. Additional
information regarding fees for external online courses is on the application.

PARENTVUE/STUDENTVUE
ParentVue is a means for a parent/guardian of an Agua Fria Union High School District student to access the education records
of their student through a secured Internet site. Access to the ParentVue is a free service offered to all current parents/guardians
of current students. StudentVue is a means for students to access their own educational records through a secured Internet site.
PERMANENT RECORDS
Two types of student records are kept. A transcript is maintained on which semester grades, total units of credit earned and
scores on standardized tests are posted. A cumulative folder is kept in the Guidance Department in which records of interviews,
teacher reports, and course of study are filed. When a student graduates, the folder becomes a part of the inactive file to which
reference is made when information is requested by authorized outside agencies.
(If a student provides the signed “Request to Remove SAT/ACT Scores from Transcript Form” to their counselor, all SAT/ACT
scores will be removed from transcripts. Parents or students may not select segments of the scores to be removed. Once all
scores are removed, they will not be put back on the transcript. It will be the student’s responsibility to send their test scores to
their prospective colleges or organizations. Additional testing scores sent to your high school will require an additional signed
request to remove those test scores from the transcript.)
PLANNING A PROGRAM OF STUDY
In planning a program of study, each student is urged to carefully examine their goals for the future. By doing this early, a wide
selection of courses will result, and the maximum value can be realized from the instructional program. The wide selection of
course offerings need not be confusing if courses are placed in proper sequences and combined wisely with advice from teacher,
parent, counselor and advisor. The final course selections should be the result of a joint effort directed toward a carefully
planned program of study.
PREREQUISITES
Due to course sequencing, some courses have prerequisites for enrollment. Prerequisites serve as a guide to proper placement.
Please refer to course descriptions.
PROGRESS REPORTS
Progress reports are given to students at 4 ½ weeks, 9 weeks and 13 ½ weeks each semester and available to parents through
ParentVue. Progress reports are not mailed home, but are distributed to students through Advisory Class.
RANK IN CLASS
Rank in class is required by colleges and universities on transcripts submitted for entrance evaluation. Each student will be
ranked in accordance with all other students in his/her own graduating class. Students will be ranked according to Governing
Board Policy IKC.
Student Cohort 2017 is ranked using total points. Student Cohort 2018 and beyond is ranked using weighted GPA.
All students in a class or grade are included in the calculations for rank in class. All subjects which count toward graduation are
included in the GPA and class rank.
Courses taken outside of the academic school day are awarded credit but are not included in GPA or rank calculations.
READING REQUIREMENT
Students identified below 9th grade level on District English/Language Arts assessments are required to enroll in Basic or
Intermediate Read 180 classes. These courses correspond to the tiers of the Response to Intervention model, and students will
remain in the course until District exit requirements have been met.
STUDENT COURSE FEES
The Agua Fria Union High School District does not require students to pay for a required program of instruction. Some courses
may require a fee. Please refer to the fee guide. The opportunity to attend school, complete required course work, or earn
required course credit during the regular school day is not contingent upon payment of any optional fee/material charge.
However, the Governing Board recognizes that some students may not be able to pay these fees. No student will be denied an
education as a result of an inability to pay these supplementary charges.

Parchment. Unofficial transcripts can be printed in the Guidance Office. Please check with your school Registrar.
WITHDRAWAL FROM CLASSES
If the withdrawal occurs prior to the tenth day of the semester, the student may replace the class with another available course
and receive a grade and credit.
If the withdrawal occurs after the beginning of the tenth day, the student may enroll in another available class and will audit this
class for no credit. Such student may, however, make up all work and, if passing grades are earned and student passes the End
of Course Assessment, may receive credit for the class with the approval of the teacher involved and the department
administrator. All grades must be posted in the teacher’s gradebook. A grade change form must be completed by the teacher,
including detailed reason, and signed by teacher and principal.
STUDENTS AND PARENTS – PLEASE NOTE

2. Availability of an Arizona Department of Education certified and highly qualified teacher
3. Enrollment standards are met (a minimum number of students enrolled)
4. Ability of the district to financially support the program
5. Approval of the course by the Governing Board
