COLLEGE AND CAREER READY Graduating College and Career Ready It’s not unusual for students to change their minds about a major decision that will affect the rest of their lives. Some students know early what they want to do after high school. Others may not make that decision until much later. That’s why the courses students take in high school matter. High school is their best chance to prepare for whatever they decide to do as adults. The College and Career Ready Core was developed to provide students with a strong academic foundation so they will have as many options as possible after graduation from high school. By taking a balanced schedule of academic courses and electives, students will be ready for work and/or college.

GENERAL INFORMATION Advanced Placement Courses Students may also earn Advanced Placement (AP) credits that enable them to begin college work while still in high school. Advanced Placement courses prepare students to take the Advanced Placement examinations in these subjects. Successful completion of the AP examination provides college credit. These courses are taught at a college level and use college textbooks. AP courses can give students a head start on college as well as excellent preparation for the SAT, ACT, and college coursework. Students enrolled in an advanced placement course will be required to take the AP exam. The NC Department of Public Instruction will pay exam fees for all students enrolled in AP classes.

Attendance Policy- Burke County High Schools I. Attendance is an essential element in the learning process. The primary responsibility of school attendance rests with students and parents. Because students daily receive 90 minutes of instruction in each class, good attendance is crucial. Based on these considerations, students missing more than five (5) days per semester will not receive credit for the course and Failing Due to Attendance (FF) will be recorded for the grade. Attendance at the high school level is counted per class period. Principals, teachers and staff will make reasonable efforts to provide appropriate opportunities for students to make up course work. Attendance at the high school is counted per class period. Students with extenuating circumstances may file an appeal with the school attendance appeals committee prior to the completion of the course if the student has a passing grade for the course. Failing Due to Attendance (FF) will be recorded if the student does not meet both stipulations. Under certain circumstances, students could be required to make up time for their absences. The required time to be made up and the procedures to follow will be determined by the school attendance appeals committee. If a student is awarded credit for a course by the school attendance appeals committee, the student’s grade will be what was assigned by the student’s teacher. If an appeal is denied or no appeal is made, the Failing Due to Attendance will result in a (FF). II. Exemption from Exams Students are not exempt from End-of-Course, NC final, and VOCAT exams. A student may be exempt from a teacher made exam if 1. The student has an ―A‖ average in the course and has no more than three (3) absences. 2. The student has a ―B‖ average in the course and has no more than two (2) absences. 3. The student has a ―C‖ average in the course and has no more than one (1) absence. Any student has the option to take any exam from which he/she is exempt. [Days of In-School suspension, out of school suspension with BATS (Burke Alternative to Suspension) do count the student as present; however, the student is not eligible for exam exemption.] Students in 11th or 12th grade are allowed one College Day visit per school year, which is exam exempt.

Attendance Requirements-Relating To Registration To meet attendance requirements of the Burke County Board of Education for graduation from high school, students must register for eight (8) courses per year: four (4) courses per semester. Students can earn a maximum of 12 credits per year with principal approval. Students must earn two credits each semester to meet residency requirements. A student must be enrolled in high school courses for eight semesters (4 years). The principal may waive up to one semester of residency for a student if the student has completed 28 credits and meets all local and state requirements. This recommendation must be sent to the superintendent. Upon the superintendent’s recommendation and School Board approval, a student may waive up to one year of residency if a student has completed 28 credits and meets all local and state requirements.

Burke Middle College Burke Middle College (BMC) is a two-year educational program operated by Burke County Public Schools th and Western Piedmont Community College (WPCC). Through this program, students complete their 11 th and 12 grade years of high school on the campus of WPCC while also working toward an associate degree. All college courses completed during their enrollment in BMC are completely tuition-free. Students may complete their entire community college degree, by the time they graduate from high school thereby giving them a two-year head start on achieving their goals. The Application Process Students are invited to discuss the middle college program with staff at Burke Middle College. Parents and students determine if Burke Middle College is the appropriate academic setting. Students have to submit an application (co-signed by the parents) and two recommendations. Students must pass the reading and writing portion of the college placement test. Then students and parents meet with the principal and review team for an interview. Applications may be obtained on the Burke Middle College website or from the high school counselor. Applications are submitted during the student’s 10th grade year. [Prerequisites are Biology and NC Math II] 11

Career and College Promise/College Course Credits Career and College Promise offers North Carolina high school students a clear path to success in college or in a career. This tuition-waived program is available to all students who maintain a 3.0 GPA and meet program eligibility requirements. Through a partnership of the Department of Public Instruction, the N.C. Community College System, the University of North Carolina system and many independent colleges and universities, North Carolina is helping eligible high school students to begin earning college credit at a community college campus. The three pathways include: 1. College Transfer Pathways (CTP) which requires the completion of at least 30 semester hours of transfer courses including English and mathematics. 2. Career and Technical Education Pathways (CTE) which leads to a certificate or diploma aligned with a high school career cluster. 3. Cooperative Innovative High School Programs (CIHSP) are located on college campuses (unless a waiver was provided) and provide opportunities for students to complete an associate degree program or earn up to two years of college credit within five years. An example includes Middle College High Schools. College credits will be computed in the high school grade point average and class rank and will be displayed on the high school transcript. Many of the community college courses provide honors weight (those that articulate to the university level). All other community college courses receive no weight. (All college courses must be pre-approved by the principal/designee.) Students must be registered for at least two high school courses while taking classes at colleges. All college courses count one high school credit. To maintain eligibility in the Career & College Promise program, students must maintain a 2.0 GPA in college coursework and continue progress toward high school graduation.

Credit by Demonstrated Mastery Credit by Demonstrated Mastery is the process by which LEAs shall, based upon a body-of-evidence, award a student credit in a particular course without requiring the student to complete classroom instruction for a certain amount of seat time. Students interested in challenging a course for credit should see the school counselor for information.

Credit Recovery Credit Recovery is an effort to enable students to meet graduation requirements and remain on track in order to graduate with their respective class. Students who have completed the time required in a class, but have not met the competency level of the class in order to receive credit, will be able to gain credit through demonstrated competency. Guidelines: 1. If the class has an end-of-course test (EOC), the student may take the EOC test even if the student takes an online class. 2. Student attendance will be reviewed by the principal to determine if a student is eligible for credit recovery courses. 3. Credit recovery class grades will be issued as Pass or Fail (P/F). Courses available for Credit Recovery: English I, II, III Foundations of NC Math I and II Civics and Economics English IV (literature only) NC Math I World History Earth Science NC Math II American History I and II Physical Science NC Math III Personal Finance Biology Health Chemistry

Diploma Endorsements Students will have the opportunity to earn an endorsement to their diplomas identifying a particular area of focused study including (1) Career Endorsement (must be a CTE completer with an industry credential), (2) th College Endorsement (must have a 2.6 GPA and a 4 math which meets UNC system and community th college requirements), (3) College/UNC Endorsement (must have a 2.5 GPA and a 4 math which meets the UNC system requirement, and 2 years of the same world language) (4) North Carolina Academic Scholars Endorsement (must have 3.5 GPA and meet the NC Academic Scholars requirements), (5) Global Languages Endorsement (must have a 2.5 GPA for the 4 required ELA courses, complete a four-course sequence of study in the same world language earning an overall GPA of 2.5 or above in those courses, and meet the Global Languages requirements) Limited English students must also reach Developing (Level 3) proficiency per the World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) proficiency scale in all four domains on the most recent state identified English language proficiency test. No endorsement is required to receive a diploma, and a student may earn more than one endorsement.

Driver License Requirements A student must have a Driving Eligibility Certificate in order to receive a North Carolina driver’s permit or license. This certificate will be issued upon completion of the Driver’s Education Course and with evidence of a student’s adequate academic progress. The Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will not issue a driver’s permit or license without a Driving Eligibility Certificate. Driving eligibility and driver’s license are a function of the NC Division of Motor Vehicles and not Burke County Public Schools. Questions should be directed to the Driver’s Education Coordinator, Dennis Leonard (828) 502-9279. ADEQUATE ACADEMIC PROGRESS means that students must pass 3 out of 4 courses each semester. ADEQUATE ACADEMIC PROGRESS is evaluated at the end of each semester. Students who do not meet this criterion or who drop out of school will be reported to the DMV and will have their permits or licenses revoked.

Failing Grades The freshman class of 2015-2016 and subsequent classes may repeat a failed class (F) and replace that failing grade (F) if the class is passed. Failing grades may be removed from a student’s transcript or excluded from computing a student’s grade-point average by repeating and passing the courses failed. All attempts made to pass courses will appear on the student’s transcript. Students have the option of making up failed courses during the school year or by attending summer school. 13

Grading Scale, Quality Points, and Class Rank The grading scale for all schools in North Carolina will be: A B C D F

= = = = =

90 - 100 80 - 89 70 - 79 60 - 69 0 - 59

Course grades are reported in two ways: unweighted (based on equal points for every class) and weighted (based on an extra point for selected rigorous courses). According to policy, weighted grades are used in determining class rank and subsequently Junior Marshal and Honor Graduate status. To encourage students to take challenging courses that prepare them for college, technical schools, and the demands of the work place, the Burke County Public Schools provide weighted courses. Weighted courses include Pre-Advanced Placement/Honors and Community College/Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Students and parents should understand that considerable work and study are required, high grades are more difficult to achieve, and the expectations and level of the course work cannot be modified for students lacking skills or preparation. The following scales apply to courses for the senior class during the 2017-2018 school year:
