3 NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY Palmyra-Eagle Area School District is in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which states that no person in the United States shall, on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, or handicapping condition, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity for which the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District receives federal financial assistance. SCHEDULING POLICIES Parent(s)/Guardian(s) must review and approve their son/daughter s course selections. The counselors may make recommendations regarding the student s course selections based upon the student s past academic performance, test results, potential ability, and career aspirations. First semester course changes will be considered only if they meet one or more of the following criteria if requested after the start of the school year: * A student is missing a course required for graduation. * A student failed a course in the previous semester and that course is required for a course in which the student is currently enrolled. * A student passed a summer school course required for a higher level course. * A student is not enrolled in at least 7 credit courses. * A course has been added to, or dropped from, courses offered at time of registration. * Administrative need. Second semester changes will be made prior to the start of second semester. Course changes will be allowed for students failing a first semester course if the instructor agrees it is in the student s best interest and space is available in another course. These requests will require administrative approval. If a student must be dropped from a class during the course of a semester for reasons other than the above, the student will be dropped with a grade of F for the semester. *** Parent/Guardian signatures are REQUIRED for us to process the student s registration and any changes after the semester begins.

5 PALMYRA-EAGLE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD POLICY MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ENROLLING IN HIGH SCHOOL COURSES It is important to meet the individual academic needs of every student enrolled in the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District. To accomplish this goal, it may be necessary and appropriate for some academically talented middle school students to enroll in high school courses. Therefore, it is the policy of the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District to allow these students to enroll in high school courses as provided in the procedure outlined below. 1. A parent or legal guardian, teacher, gifted and talented program coordinator, or school counselor may request that a middle school student be allowed to enroll in a high school course. 2. The request will be granted by the high school principal if enrollment in the high school course would be in the best academic interests of the student. a. There are no scheduling conflicts that would interfere with the student s ability to regularly attend the course at the high school. b. the course is taught at the high school level by a teacher with appropriate licensure for that course c. Upon completion of the high school course the middle school student will have the name of the course, the grade earned, the credits earned, and the year the course was completed recorded on his or her high school transcript. 3. Upon completion of the high school course, the grade earned by the middle school student will be calculated as part of the student s middle school grade point average (GPA) and recorded on the student s middle school report card. It will also be used in the computation of the student s high school grade point average (GPA). Upon completion of the high school course the credit earned by the middle school student will be considered as an additional credit and will be used to meet any specific course requirements or count toward the current number of credits required for graduation from Palmyra-Eagle High School. 4. Credits earned for high school courses taken while a student is enrolled in middle school will be used to determine eligibility for any high school honors, awards, scholarships, memberships, or other forms of recognition that is based on the total number of credits earned. 5. This policy was implemented beginning with the school year. ADOPTED: 10/10/2006 REVISED: 10/09/12 5

6 Community Service Learning Community service is a donated service or activity that is performed by someone or a group of people for the benefit of the public or its institutions. The Service Recognition Program at Palmyra-Eagle High School is designed to recognize those students who have given outstanding service to the school and community during their high school years (9 th -12 th grade). Students who accumulate at least 200 hours of service during their high school years will be awarded the white service cord during the senior award s ceremony before their graduation. Service hours must not be for credit, for pay or used to work off legal penalties. At least 100 of the hours must be service work other than aiding for a teacher. Contact Mrs. Beaver with any questions or to turn in hours.

8 ADVANCED PLACEMENT WHAT IS ADVANCED PLACEMENT? The Advanced Placement program (AP) is a cooperative educational endeavor between high schools and colleges or universities. It allows students to enroll in college-level courses while in high school, and gives them the opportunity to show mastery by taking an AP exam. AP EXAM AP exams are given during the second and third weeks of May. Every student takes the same exam at the same time. Each exam consists of two sections. The first section is made up of multiple-choice questions. The other section consists of free-response questions in various formats: essays, audiotaped responses, analysis of historical documents, extended problem solving, etc. AP EXAM GRADES The AP exam grading scale is as follows: 5 extremely well qualified 2 possibly qualified 4 well qualified 1 no recommendation 3 qualified Students will receive their grade report in July. Most colleges and universities accept AP exam scores of 3 or above but it is the college/university s choice. BENEFITS OF AP Students will receive credit, advanced placement or both at most colleges and universities. The amount of credit received varies on the college, AP score, and the subject. Some colleges grant up to six college credits for a score of 5. Students are also able to move into a higher level class at college as a freshman. This not only translates into time saved, but also a financial savings for each credit earned while in high school. It is possible for a student to take enough AP exams to enter college at a sophomore standing. COST OF AP EXAMS Students do have to pay for each exam taken. The cost for the exam will be approximately $88 per exam which is due upon registration. There is a cancellation fee of approximately $14.

By connecting education to future goals, students are motivated to work harder and enroll in more rigorous courses. Communicating career and educational goals to your school counselor, working with the WISCareers website, and exploring the 16 Career Clusters at can aid students in choosing relevant and applied coursework designed to meet their individual educational and career goals. 1.
