IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS
SCHEDULING
Crooms AOIT operates on a modified, alternating block schedule with 7 periods. The block schedule is designed
to allow for extended periods of time where teachers may direct students to work on labs, group projects or other
extension activities. As part of their school day, students also participate in 20 minutes of silent sustained reading/
guided study time.
FLORIDA STANDARDS ASSESSMENT (FSA) PREP COURSEWORK
Based on Crooms’ school improvement plan, students whose FSA scores indicate they may not meet the FSA
graduation requirement will be automatically registered into an FSA preparation class for one or two class periods,
depending on previous FSA and oral fluency scores. Passing the FSA is a graduation requirement set by the state
legislature, and Crooms AOIT intends to provide all students the opportunity to prepare appropriately for that
requirement.
HIGHER LEVEL COURSE ENROLLMENT CRITERIAA
Seminole County recognizes the benefits students derive from higher level coursee
participation and the importance of fair and equitable standardized criteria for
enrollment in higher level courses. Students may elect to enroll in higher level
courses based on any one of the multiple criteria. Where applicable, prerequisitee
course completion is required. Multiple enrollment criteria include, but are not
limited to, self-selection, teacher consultation, previous academic success, and
standardized or state test scores.
FEE/DONATION NOTIFICATION
In an effort to provide educational enhancements to students beyond the curriculum
lum
routinely offered, donations in certain courses historically have been collected in Seminole County Public Schools on
a voluntary contribution basis. Every encouragement is given to students and parents to assist Crooms Academy of
Information Technology in continuing the practice of course embellishment that these donations make possible. While
such assistance is a practical requirement to maintain current practices, no student shall be denied the opportunity
either to take any course or to participate fully in all aspects of a course in which donations are sought. In such
circumstances, please simply notify your child’s teacher. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to
excellence.
TECHNOLOGY USE IN EDUCATION
Seminole County Public Schools believes technology is a valuable educational tool. All classroom teachers use
technology as an instructional tool. Some examples of such activities are: use of the eCampus learning management
system, Office 365, cloud storage and collaboration with OneDrive and Google Drive, the district’s media/library
catalog, web sites for education projects, on-line district and state classes and to conduct research in preparation for a
project or presentation.
Students are photographed or videotaped for the purposes of daily school news
broadcasts and yearbooks. Photographs or videos of students are also placed
on school/district web pages as a form of recognition for special achievements,
activities, projects and as a motivation to be creative.
Student works are published on the Web (Internet) to share stories, poems,
and other creative works with other students and the school community and to
provide motivations for writing.
If you wish to have your student excluded from any of the preceding activities,
you may opt out in Skyward. Please be aware that opting out of
local use, prohibits publishing your child’s picture in the
school yearbook.

In the spring of 2013 the Florida Legislature created new
diploma options for the students of Florida. In doing so, they
have offered students more choice as well as an opportunity to
align their education to their future college and career plans.
In Seminole County we refer to these new choices as Diploma
Pathways. We call them Pathways because we believe that
students should use their time in high school to embark on their
own personal Pathway to success. Students may now choose
a Pathway that will result in a standard high school diploma, a
high school diploma connected with industry certification, or a
diploma designed to rigorously prepare them for the university
setting.
In the chart below you will find the Diploma Pathways and
the corresponding expectations associated with each one. In
addition to those offered by the state of Florida, Seminole
County also offers the Scholars with Distinction Pathway. This
very rigorous Pathway will challenge even the most talented
and dedicated students to an even higher level of academic
accomplishment.
9th Grade
A student who has been promoted from
8th grade.
10th Grade
A student who has earned six (6) credits
beyond the 8th grade.
11th Grade
A student who has earned twelve (12)
credits beyond the 8th grade.
Seminole County will start each and every student on the
Scholars Pathway. We want to ensure that students are setting
their academic goals high as they begin high school. Through
performance and self-selection, students and their families may
opt to change Pathways as they progress through high school.
Our goal is to have all students qualify to earn a Scholars
Pathway diploma. In the end, whether it is a Standard Pathway
diploma, a Merit Designation Pathway (Industry Certification)
diploma, a Scholars Pathway diploma, or a Scholars’ with
Distinction Pathway diploma, we want every student in Seminole
County to exit our school system as a graduate.
12th Grade
A student who has earned nineteen (19)
credits beyond the 8th grade.
Your administrators and guidance counselors are available to
provide further guidance on what each of the Pathways requires.

RECOGNITION OF
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Honor Roll, Dean’s List, and Principal’s List are open to
all students. These lists are prepared as follows:
1.
Grade point averages are weighted and include all
courses for which a letter grade is given.
2.
Students carrying at least three on campus courses are
eligible.
3.
Any grade lower than a “C” automatically disqualifies
a student.
4.
The minimum GPA for Honor Roll is 3.0, for the
Dean’s List is 3.5, and for the Principal’s List is 3.83.
These averages are not rounded off; that is a GPA of
2.99, 3.49, and 3.79 respectively are not sufficient.
EOC/COMPETENCY TESTING REQUIREMENT
According to Florida law, students must meet all academic
requirements in order to receive a standard high school
diploma from a public school. This means that students
must take required courses, earn the correct number
of credits, and maintain a passing grade point average.
Students who meet these requirements, but do not pass
the required assessments for a high school diploma, will
receive a Certificate of Completion. Students are to have
taken and passed the Algebra 1 and 10th grade Reading
FSA. Concordant scores are as follows:
GRADE POINT AVERAGE
CALCULATION
Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) is based on final
grades and determined by dividing the total number of
courses attempted into the total number of quality points
earned. Any other course for which no letter grade is
given, is not included.
Students have a Florida GPA which is unweighted and a
weighted District GPA which is calculated using different
weights for various grades.
Honors, Dual Enrollment and Advanced Placement
courses weight grades of C or better. The chart below
indicates the quality points each grade carriers for both
types of GPA.
