Minn. Academic Standards
All students are responsible for the New Academic
Standards in core subjects required for graduation.
These standards are embedded into the semester
curriculum and will be part of the quarter and semester grade earned in the course. Earning academic
credit for the course will indicate credit for the New
Academic Standards as well. No separate record of
the New Academic Standards is maintained or communicated to students or parents. Course descriptions in the registration guide explain which standards
are embedded into a course.
(Board Policy 605.4, Adopted November 17, 2003)
The Arts
Students will be required to earn 1.0 credits in The
Arts. One-half (1/2) of this credit, “analysis and interpretation,” will be earned through American literature courses.
Students will earn the other half of The Arts standard, “creation and performance,” by successfully
completing one of the following elective classes: Intro to Art, Cabinet Making I and/or Cabinet Making II, Theatre Arts, Theatre Production, Creative
Foods, Drawing & Painting I, Drawing & Painting
II, Sculpture/Ceramics, Business Applications,
Photography/Graphic Design, Web Page & Multimedia Graphic Design, Business Graphics/Photoshop, Web Page Design II or Music (Wind Ensemble,
Symphonic Band, Concert Choir, Varsity Choir, or Elements of Music Performance and Composition).
Since many of the electives that will satisfy the “creation and performance” standard have pre-requisites,
students will need to plan ahead to meet the standard. More detailed information about the course, the
standard requirements, and the pre-requisites can be
found in the course descriptions.

SUMMER SCHOOL REGISTRATION
Students will register for Summer School classes at
the same time as they register for their 2016-17
classes.
ATTENDANCE
All absences must be reported by telephone to the office (333-6100) between 7:30-10:00AM on the day of
the absence. Attendance is vitally important in summer school since each hour of class is equivalent to
one day of the regular school year. Missing a fourhour class is nearly equivalent to missing one week
of school during the regular school year! A student
will be dropped from class without credit on the third
absence, regardless of the reason! Absences may
not be used on the last two days of summer school,
which includes final exams.
FINAL EXAMS
Final exams will be given on the last day of summer
school. Parents/ students will not be allowed to reschedule their finals.
Special Education
Special Education programs recognize and support
the unique needs of students who receive special
education service through:
1. Support within the general education
classroom.
2. Specialized classes to meet the student’s
individual needs.
3. Planning & supporting the transition needs
of students.

Grade 12 Faribault High School Student Aide Application
The Student Aide program is designed to offer a student the opportunity to undertake a learning experience for credit that is not offered

Being a Student Aide is an option for students in grade 12 only. A student electing to be a Student Aide may not have a study hall. Students will be awarded a Pass I No Credit grade for being a Student Aide.
The procedure the student must follow to be approved as a Student Aide is as follows:
1.
The student must gain permission from the cooperating teacher. (A note must accompany the student to the
counselor appointment for a contract.)
The counselor will give the student the contract to be completed.
2.
3.
The student must complete the Student Aide Contract and meet with the
cooperating teacher for discussion.
4.
The cooperating teacher signs off on the contract.
5.
The parent/guardian must sign the contract.
6.
The student obtains permission and signature of the principal for final approval. (Mr. Turtle)
7.
The student returns the signed contract to their counselor.

Attendance
All absences must be reported by telephone to the administrative office,
333-6100, between 7:30 – 10:00 am on the day of the absence.
Attendance is vitally important in summer school since each hour of class is equivalent to one day of the regular school year.
Missing a four-hour class is nearly equivalent to missing one week of school during the regular school year. Students will be dropped from class without credit
on the third absence, regardless of the reason.
Final Exams will be given on the last day of each session. Final exams will not be rescheduled. Absences may not be used on the last two days of summer
school, which includes final exams.
Plan carefully. If you are selected for summer school and you do not complete the class, you will only be scheduled back into the fall class if there
is space available.
MN Past/Present may conflict with Drivers Training – plan accordingly.
