Transcription

Dear Students and Parents:
This 2016-17 EHS High School Course Catalog is designed to assist you as you plan a fouryear secondary school course of study. It includes the requirements for high school
graduation as established by the Washington State Board of Education and the Enumclaw
School District Board of Education. In addition, it includes many other courses for students
to consider as they identify preliminary career interests and aspirations.
Parents are urged to work closely with their students in the initial course selections and also
in the annual review of the four-year plan. As you know, course choices can significantly
influence options students have after high school. It is important to carefully review all
graduation requirements and college entrance requirements prior to making any course
decisions. In addition, all students are invited and encouraged to participate in several
programs that allow them to earn college credit while still in high school.
The primary mission of Enumclaw High School is to prepare each student for success in
post-secondary education, work and citizenship for the 21st century. As a staff, we are
committed to focus on student learning and the continuous improvement of our instructional
program.
We are ready to assist you in any way possible in helping you make these important
decisions about your course of study.
Your high school guidance counselor and
administrative team are available to answer your questions you may have about the material
presented in this catalog.
Sincerely,
Jill Burnes
Jill Burnes
Principal, Enumclaw High School

SCHEDULING POLICIES and PROCEDURES
Students will be scheduled into classes based on the following priorities:
 Classes needed for graduation requirements
 If students cannot be placed in their first choice elective classes, alternates listed
will be used to complete schedules. If no alternates are listed, students will be
placed in classes based on room available.
 Elective classes are filled by seniority status (senior, junior, sophomore and then
freshman).
Schedule Changes:
Students are expected to choose classes carefully and remain in those classes for the
entire length of the class term. Changes to schedules will be made on a very limited
basis. A student may not add a class for credit or drop a class after the second Friday
of each semester.
Schedule corrections will be made for the following reasons:
 Incomplete schedule
 Senior needing class for graduation
 Student does not meet the pre-requisite for the class
 Errors made during data input
Credit Retrieval Options:
Students may make up credits for failed classes through the Enumclaw School District
Credit Retrieval classes. Classes are offered after school and during the summer, and
through other accredited on-line programs. Failed classes may not be retaken during
the regular school day (except for Math and Foreign Language classes).
Special Education:
Students with an IEP may sign up to take Special Education classes as determined by
their IEP team. Classes are offered in Reading, Writing, Math, Transition, and Study
Skills. Contact Paul Iacobazzi (EHS Administrator) at (360) 802-7678 for details or
questions.

COLLEGE CREDIT EARNED IN HIGH SCHOOL
The following programs allow students to earn college credit while in high school. Criteria for college
credit varies with each program and prospective post-secondary institution. Specific credit information is
available by contacting the prospective college.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM:
The Advanced Placement (AP) program exposes high school students to college-level materials and then
offers an exam each May, which may count for credit or course waiver at colleges. Students earning a 3
on AP exams usually earn college credit, placement, or a waiver of required courses at many colleges.
Students should check with prospective colleges as to how AP is credited, since college rules vary.
Advanced Placement courses require more homework and are more challenging to students.
Students should consider carefully before enrolling in more than one AP class at a time.
Parent/Student Commitment Agreement for AP classes:
Students who sign up for AP classes will be required to sign a commitment form that they understand the
course consists of a rigorous curriculum and in depth test at the end of the course. They are expected to
remain in the class for the entire year. Parents are also required to recognize and sign off on this
commitment. Although any student may sign up for AP classes, final placement will be based on teacher
review followed by a meeting with the teacher and a commitment agreement signed by student and
parent. Once this process is complete, students will not be allowed to drop any AP class.

GREEN RIVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE CoHORT PROGRAM:
This program option will allow students to receive both a high school diploma and up to 60
college credits (over their junior and senior years) through Green River Community College’s
local branch campus in Enumclaw. Students take a specified series of classes from 7:30 a.m.
– 9:30 a.m. allowing them to return to the high school by third period for additional classes at the
high school. Students must qualify under the same criteria as Running Start program students.
Students must provide their own transportation to both locations. The viability of these courses
will depend on the number of students enrolled. The following classes are tentatively scheduled
for the 2015-2017 school year:

RUNNING START PROGRAM:
Eleventh and twelfth grade students may apply to enroll in courses or programs in a community
or technical college without charge. Both high school and college credits may be obtained.
Evidence of successful completion of each course in a community or technical college will be
included in the student’s high school records and transcripts. Transportation to and from the
college, books and fees are the responsibility of the student. To be classified as a student of
eleventh grade standing in the Enumclaw School District and therefore, eligible for
Running Start, a student must have earned a total of 12 credits and have passed the
following 7 core courses: Physical Science or Physics; Biology; Algebra 1; Geometry;
English 9; English 10; World History.
To get started:
1. Apply to the college online.
2. Take the COMPASS assessment ($20) at the college to determine placement in reading, writing,
and math (eligible scores vary at each college). You must qualify at college level reading and
either college level writing or math to be eligible for Running Start.
3. Make an appointment to meet with your counselor to review your COMPASS scores and to
verify eligibility. Graduation requirements and equivalent courses will be also discussed.
4. Students and parents must sign a Running Start responsibility form to participate in the program.
5. Counselors will fill out the Running Start Enrollment Verification form and the student will
submit it to the college and sign up for a Running Start Orientation.
6. Students will then sign up for classes at the college.
Other Important Information
1. Students are responsible for meeting high school and college deadlines.
2. It is the responsibility of the student to check with the high school for any information that they
need to meet high school activities or responsibilities while attending the college.
3. Students will make appointments to meet with their high school counselor each quarter to obtain
the Enrollment Verification form.
4. Students attending college will be held to the colleges’ academic standards and policies.
5. All classes taken through the Running Start program will appear on the high school transcript and
will be calculated in the G.P.A.
6. Failure to complete specific classes that meet graduation requirements of Enumclaw High School
may jeopardize graduation status and/or opportunity to continue in the Running Start program.

Enumclaw High School Career & Tech Ed Dual Credit Program
Dual Credit is a college-preparatory program for technical careers that prepare high school
students for success by earning college credit in classes that they take at their high school. In
Dual Credit classes (formerly Tech Prep), students have the opportunity to explore career options
early, in a hands-on and challenging environment. Students discover their own interests and
skills while experiencing practical, real-world ways to pursue their goals in a variety of highskill, high-wage technical careers.
Dual Credit can provide:



A head start in a certificate program, two-year associate of applied science degree, or
apprenticeship program;
A solid basis for baccalaureate study; and
The ability to apply technical skills for immediate entry-level employment after high
school while also attending college.
Other benefits of Dual Credit include:
 Reducing the cost of college tuition and books
 Participation in high quality training programs that connect to the business and/or
industry of your technical interests
 The opportunity to graduate from college early
Steps to receive Dual Credit
While in High School:
1. Take a Dual Credit CTE (Career and Technical Education) certified class at your high school
(see your CTE teacher to see if the course you are taking qualifies).
2. Depending on the class and the technical college you are seeking credit from, earn a “C” or
“B”(2.0) or better in the class (additional requirements may apply – colleges will determine the
parameters)
3. If you are seeking credit from Bates Technical College, Clover Park Technical College, or
Pierce College you will pre-enroll on the SERS data system while taking the class. Your EHS
CTE Instructor will have registration and course enrollment info for you. The website you will
be registering and enrolling is http://sers.techprepwa.org for the Pierce County Colleges. If you
are seeking credit from Green River College, Highline College, or Renton Technical College
you will not pre-register your class on SERS but take your transcript directly to those colleges
when you apply.
After High School Graduation:
4. Register at your participating Community or Technical College.
5. Bring your high school transcript with you when you register and inform the registrar that you
have Dual Credit credits that you want to utilize.
6. The college will analyze your high school transcript (a fee may apply) and issue appropriate
credit. Colleges may also require that you enroll in their program.
7. Please be aware that Dual Credit is not guaranteed. Colleges will make a determination at time
of registration and may base their decision on such factors as: the college has discontinued the
course, or the college course requirements have changed and no longer match the high school
course.
More information


Check with your high school counselor or the EHS Career and Technical Education office.
Current year Dual Credit courses are marked in the high school registration booklet. When
you attend the course next year, confirm with your teacher if their course still offers Dual
Credit opportunities.

offered by the College Board. Additionally, students will be coached in improving their reading, writing and notetaking
skills to help better prepare them to achieve their post high school goals. The course content focusses on the
political, economic, social, and cultural development of the United States from the Pre-Columbian period to the
present day. As with World History, AP, this course is one of the more flexible of the AP offerings, allowing students
the ability to personalize their work load on any given week. This facilitates the ability to take this course while
engaging in other AP classes at the same time. Note: This course fulfills the US History requirement.
