Registration for

School Year 2013-14

Registration for classes for the 2013-14 school year is scheduled to begin in February at Haleyville High School. Planning for appropriate classes is crucial for a successful high school experience and should involve the students, parents, teachers, and counselors. All persons involved must work together toward a defined objective. Parents are encouraged to work with their child’s teachers and our counseling staff to develop the appropriate selection of classes for the next school year.

We strongly emphasize to all students and their families that planning for the 2013-14 school year is of paramount importance because the opportunity for changing classes after they have been requested is very limited . Staffing and personnel decisions are based on course requests. Moving from one class to another to take a different teacher or to be with certain other students will not be permitted. Absolutely NO requests for schedule changes will be permitted after May 11, 2013. Changes in student schedules after this date will be made by the principal as needed to balance classes.

Each student is responsible to ensure that he or she has the necessary requirements for promotion and graduation. We strongly recommend that parents become actively involved with their children as they select courses based on their individual goals and objectives. Parents and students must pay particular attention to the suggested courses that are prerequisites to or that provide the basis for two and four-year post-secondary school admission. If parents would like to discuss courses, curriculums, or any other matters concerning the education process, please feel free to call the school and ask for one of the guidance counselors. Mrs. Rains is the counselor for 12th grade students and Mr. Temple is the counselor for 11 and 10th grade students Mrs. Banks is the counselor for the 9th and 10th grades.

For students graduating in 2014, HHS offers the new Alabama’s First Choice High School Diploma (advanced academic endorsement, advanced Career and Technical endorsement, career and technical endorsement, and credit-based endorsement) along with the Alabama Occupational Diploma. The credit-based diploma option is available as assigned by the school, if this is the only remaining exit option for an individual student.

Alabama Occupational Diploma

The Alabama Occupational Diploma (AOD) may be acquired through the general education curriculum or an alternative that is aligned with the Alabama Courses of Study. AOD recipients are students with some form of a learning disability. Students who receive the AOD must take the AHSGE in the spring of their 11th grade year, but are not required to pass. The AOD is recognized by non-degreed certification programs and some community colleges. Students must also complete an online course or experience.

Online Experience Requirements for Class of 2013 and Beyond:

Included in the newly adopted requirements of the Advanced Academic Endorsement to the Alabama High School Diploma is the requirement that all students will have an Online Experience. An online experience for this purpose is defined as a structured learning environment that utilizes technology—consistently and regularly—with Intranet/Internet-based tools and resources as the delivery method for instruction, research, assessment, and communication. The online experience may be delivered through a Teacher-Led online learning experience much like the traditional classroom but led/managed through a virtual environment or through Blended Instruction to include a balanced mix of traditional face-to-face instruction activities along with appropriately designed online experiences. This blended format can provide opportunities for students to work outside the classroom in virtual teams with students from other schools or classrooms to learn writing, research, teamwork, and technology skills. A student may obtain his/her Online Credit through one or more of the following options:

1. Take an online course

2. Participate in an online experience

3. Participate in online experiences incorporated into required courses for the Alabama High School Diploma. BTA will meet this requirement.

For the online experience to be successful and to meet the Credit Requirements, it must meet the following standards:

1. Be relevant and address many learning styles appropriate to the task.

2. Include asynchronous and/or synchronous interaction between teacher and student as well as student and student.

3. Incorporate resources outside of the classroom.

4. Meet the Alabama Course of Study: Technology standards for Grades 9-12.

5. Incorporate the following:

a. Use of technology tools for managing and communicating personal information.

b. Apply advanced software features such as built-in thesaurus, templates, and styles to improve the appearance of word processing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

c. Identify and describe various telecommunications or online technologies such as desktop conferencing, list serves, blogs, and virtual reality.

d. Incorporate a variety of media and formats to design, develop, publish, and present products.

e. Collaborate in content-related projects that integrate a variety of media.

f. Demonstrate proficiency in the use of emerging technology resources such as podcasting, Webcasting, compressed video delivery, online file sharing, graphing calculators and global positioning software.

The Alabama Occupational Diploma

The Alabama Occupational Diploma (AOD) is achieved through the standard curriculum or an alternative that is aligned with the Alabama courses of study. The recipients of this diploma are students with some form of learning disability. Those who receive the AOD must take the AHSGE but are not required to pass in order to receive the Alabama Occupational Diploma.

Graduation Requirements for the Alabama Occupational Diploma

This diploma option is available for students with disabilities as defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Public Law 105-17). Students must earn the course credits as outlined below in order to be awarded the Alabama Occupational Diploma.

Course Selection Guidelines

Making appropriate course selections are essential to a student’s success in high school. Courses should be challenging, but the student should have the educational background to be successful in the courses selected. Students should also select courses based on their post-secondary goals. Students are encouraged to achieve some post-secondary education or training prior to going straight into the job market.

General education courses will be taught on grade level and will help prepare a student for post secondary studies, technical school, a military career and employment. Students should combine appropriate career technical courses with these academic core selections.

The honors or advanced course of study is designed for highly motivated students whose individual goals require a four-year post-secondary degree. These advanced courses provide the academic challenge for the student who is willing to do the required out-of-class preparation necessary for success. Honors classes employ various methods of analysis, synthesis, and self-directed learning experiences, which will prepare the student for a four-year post-secondary degree program.

The Career/Technical Education curriculum provides students access to a flexible system of rigorous school and work-based learning. This course of study is designed to provide content that is student centered, allowing career pathways that include academic and career/technical education courses specifically directed to students’ key interests and required skills. Upon graduation, students are prepared for post-secondary education, apprenticeship programs, employment, as well as individual, family, employer, and community success.

Some course offerings may be canceled at the discretion of the principal. All students must register for seven full units each school year. Fees are charged for certain courses.

Be absolutely certain that the proper courses are requested; no request for changes will

be made after May 11, 2013. Staff requests will not be accepted as teacher assignments

are made based on student requests for courses

Credit is awarded on a term/semester basis. Failure to pass a required course means that a student must enroll in the Credit Recovery Program or repeat the course. Guidance counselors should be consulted to assist students in applying for credit recovery, repeat of course, or correspondence study. Credit Recovery offerings are determined by student need (i.e. seniors, juniors, etc.) and academic feasibility.

Students are required to schedule one core academic credit from each of the core academic areas (English, mathematics, science, social studies) each school year.
