Dear Sprague Student: The Sprague Registration Bulletin is a source to assist you in planning your course selections for the 2017-2018 school year. Our schedule provides you with an opportunity to sample courses across the curriculum or concentrate on a focus area of study. As you plan your courses for next year, you are encouraged to discover new areas of learning which meet your own special learning needs. As preparations are made for next year, your course decisions are important to you and our staff. In making your decisions, please take the time to plan your course of study for the entire year so your choices are accurate. Based on your selections, staff is hired and sections of courses are created. The Sprague educational program is influenced directly by your selection of courses. Pay close attention to the following procedures: • The first step is to review the required classes that you expect to take. • Next, review the graduation requirements to check your progress in meeting
them. • The third step is to select classes that support your future educational and career
goals as part of your Personal Education Plan. • Finally parents, teachers, and counselors are valuable resources that can help
you in your decision making. Plan your future carefully. Your decisions today will influence your schedule next fall. What you select as courses will determine Sprague's course offerings and your future learning opportunities. Remember that your high school transcript is one of the first additions to your resume. Respectfully, Craig Swanson, Principal Sprague High School

How to Use the Registration Bulletin What coursework do I need to take?
General Guidelines:
1. All 9th and 10th grade students must enroll in 8 classes per semester. General release periods are not permitted.
2. All 11th and 12th grade students must enroll in 5 credited classes per semester. Students seeking release periods must have (1) signed parent permission and transportation to be off campus during the release periods and (2) be on track for graduation.
3. Please refer to the graduation requirements pages for your graduation year. All students must have 24 academic credits in the designated subject areas to graduate.
4. Choose your electives and other courses carefully. When you sign up for courses, you are making your selection for the entire year and the master schedule is built around your requests.
5. Students should check their course requests and credits against admission requirements for colleges and universities to make sure that they will meet the standards for admission.
Electives At Sprague elective courses are available in many areas. Elective courses are an opportunity for students to explore areas of interest as well as experience a variety of other areas to enrich their educational background. Enrollment in elective classes is based on course availability. Students should choose at least 4 semesters of elective courses and rank their selections in order of priority. From this list courses will be placed on their schedule. If a student does not indicate a choice, one will be selected for them. Certain electives are one semester. Others, such as a foreign language, are year long.
What are credits and why are they important? Core content classes are year-long classes and earn 1.0 credit. Each semester course is assigned a .5 credit. To receive a high school diploma, students must earn 24 credits. These credits must be taken in specific areas of study. Students who fail to pass standards in core area content classes may be required to repeat the course and enroll in a structured study program or support class. Please see the Graduation Requirements check list for details on subject area requirements. If your education plan includes enrollment in a 4-year university or college, there will be additional admission requirements check the admission requirements on the website of colleges that you are considering. You are responsible for ensuring that your classes will meet admission requirements for the college of your choice. Credit is given for a grade of “D” or better course work. Universities and colleges require a grade of “C” or better for college admission. As you can see, grades and credits matter!
What information is included in the course description? The Registration Bulletin provides basic information to help the student select courses at Sprague High School and contains essential information for planning a high school program and completing the annual registration process. Below is an example of a course description:
1. Standard course title – (French I) -- An abbreviated form of this title will appear on student
schedules. 2. Course Number – (FF2014) - This is the course number that appears on your transcript and class
schedules. 3. Grade level – (9 – 12) - A single grade entry, e.g., “9” indicates that the course usually taken during
the year indicated. A multiple entry, e.g., “10-12” signifies that the course can first be taken by a student during the 10th grade, 11th grade, or 12th grade. A student may take a course earlier than shown if the student’s counselor has a completed four-year plan on file that clearly shows that: 1) the student has completed the necessary prerequisites, and 2) the student’s program will be enhanced by taking the course early.
4. Prerequisites – (None) - Conditions that must be met, or courses that must be completed before a student can register for the course. It is especially important to consider prerequisites when completing a four-year plan.

Admission to Other College and Universities All colleges and universities have requirements that entering freshmen must meet in order to be admitted. Some schools have many more qualified applicants than they can possibly admit. Consequently, admission processes at those schools are highly competitive. Some prestigious schools will not admit students who do not take the highest level of classes offered at the students’ high school. It is important that you study the entrance requirements, as well as the admission processes, for the schools that you may attend. Be sure to look for this information on college’s website. Include the necessary courses in your four-year plan. PSAT, SAT AND ACT TESTS Four year colleges require that students take either the SAT or ACT test for admission. Test dates, locations and registration information are available at: For SAT – www.collegeboard.com For ACT – www.act.org Additionally, the PSAT is given only once per year in October. This preliminary SAT is a practice test for the SAT and this is the only means to be considered for a National Merit Scholarship. Students may take 2 full practice tests through the CIS website>My Career Portfolio>Petersen’s Practice Tests. Study materials are available our Library.

Dual College Credit Salem-Keizer and Sprague High School is committed to continuing to provide opportunities to students to earn and receive dual credit while taking courses in high school. We have partnered with several community and state universities to provide this opportunity. Dual College Credit classes allow Sprague staff members to teach selected classes on our campus using approved course outlines and receiving textbook approval. Students pay a set tuition for the course and receive credit on their own personal transcript that will follow them to any state higher educational institution. You should check with the teacher of the course to identify which state institution will be issuing the credit. Also, it is upon the student and family to check with any higher educational institution outside of the state to see if they will accept the college course the student completes. Most classes with a 100 level or above are transferable to any Oregon college or university. All Sprague AP Courses will provide college credit if the student takes the 2nd semester AP test and scores a 3, 4, or 5. The include chart below shows additional options for dual credit. It is the responsibility of the Sprague student to inquire with each individual Sprague teacher to elect for the dual credit option.

student-centered. Future-focused.
Student-centered. Future-focused. In Oregon, we tell our children to follow their dreams.
Willamette Promise helps those dreams take flight.
WHO the Willamette Promise serves 200,000 students in 40 school districts in Marion, Polk, Yamhill, Multnomah, Washington, Tillamook, Clatsop and Columbia counties
Willamette Promise addresses the 40-40-20 challenge adopted by the Oregon’s
Legislature, whose goal—by 2025—is for 40 percent of Oregonians to earn a four-year
degree or higher, 40 percent to earn an associate’s degree or postsecondary certificate
and the remaining 20 percent to earn a high school diploma.
WHAT the Willamette Promise does Whether a student envisions a future as a veterinarian or a welder, a teacher or an
actor, Willamette Promise can inspire them to take a journey they otherwise might
not imagine. Willamette Promise gives high school students the opportunity to:
• Earn college credits—up to a whole year of college before graduation. • Complete Career and Technical courses and achieve certification—before graduation. • Prepare for next steps by tapping into information on careers and colleges.
WHY the Willamette Promise benefits students • Students get to try college-level coursework without fear of failure. • Students imagine themselves as college students and understand what
further education entails. • Students save money. Willamette Promise costs only $30 per student
per year—no matter how many credits they earn. • High school and college staff share teaching materials and strategies. • School districts build a culture of students pursuing college- and career-readiness. • More high school graduates pursue advanced degrees and certificates. • Students receive up-to-date information on colleges and universities,
scholarships and various programs.
HOW the Willamette Promise works • High school and college staff in our region collaborate to create college-level
course content and assessments. • High school teachers include the college-level content and assessments in
their classes. • Students choose to take on the college-level material, and after successful
completion, they register for college c r e d i t .
“Whether helping them graduate more quickly or
to go to college, Willamette
It’s a fact 9 Students who take dual-
credit courses in high school attend college at a higher rate than high school graduates overall. 1
9 Students who take dual-credit courses are 10 percent more likely to complete a bachelor’s degree—12 percent more likely if their parents never attended college. 2

SALEM-KEIZER HIGH SCHOOL Schedule Change Policy
Rationale: During the spring, Sprague High School counselors work carefully with students on creating a schedule for each student for the following school year. Our goal is to allow students to begin their classes without interruption on the first day of school. Classroom attendance is especially crucial during the first two weeks of each semester because teachers review classroom expectations, rules and course information while providing students with the background in the subject matter necessary for students to be successful during the semester. Students should carefully select their courses during forecasting as schedule changes are extremely limited. Student Schedules will be available to view via StudentVue and ParentVue. Sprague High School is moving towards an all-electronic and online schedule change process. In order for this process to be successful, we need all students and families to participate in our electronic submission of schedule change requests. Guidance and instructions for our process is located on our www.spragehs.com website. Students will be able to request schedule changes over the summer (for 1st semester) and during the month of January (for 2nd semester). A copy of the Sprague semester master schedule will also be located on our website for students to reference as they ask for elective changes. Requests are answered in the order they are received. Not all requests will be honored. Students will receive an e-mail with the outcome of their request once it has been processed. Schedules will not be changed to accommodate teacher or class period requests. Last day to request a semester schedule change will be 5 calendar days before the beginning of a semester. Student class schedules will be available for students on the first day of each semester. These will be provided via StudentVue or can be requested in print on the first day of each semester. Students will not be allowed to skip or leave a class that is listed on their schedule and come to the College and Career center to make schedule changes in person. They must request their schedule change via the online request process. During the first week of the semester, counselors will correct scheduling errors with students in person for the following reasons only; 1. Incorrect placement of a student (either class level, course offering, or subject) 2. A student has a “Needs Class” on their schedule or a missing period. 3. A student has a duplicate class or too many classes on their schedule. Semester Schedule Change Request: Students will need to Log-In to StudentVue to see their semester schedule. If a student wants to request a schedule change, the following steps must be taken: 1. Go to the Sprague High School Website http://www.spraguehs.com 2. Click on Schedule Change Request 3. Completely fill out the electronic request form 4. Requests are answered in the order they are received. Not all requests will be honored. Students will receive an e-mail with the outcome of their request once it has been processed. Schedules will not be changed to accommodate teacher or class period requests. Last day to request a semester 2 schedule change is 5 calendar days before the beginning of the semester. However, we realize that in special circumstances students may require a schedule change after the beginning of the semester. For those special circumstances, we have allowed a three-week grace period before the cut-off date. After that date, please note that dropping a class will result in a failing grade for the semester. 1.0 Procedure for Dropping Classes Prior to the Cut-Off-Date
1.1 Students are allowed an opportunity at the beginning of each semester to make necessary schedule changes without an F grade penalty. Students need to request the schedule change via the online schedule request change process.
2.0 Consequences of Dropping Classes After the Cut-Off Date (changes made only in exceptional circumstances)
2.1 Students who request to drop a class after three weeks may receive a failing grade.
- 19 -
2.2 The grade of “F” will be placed on the transcript at the end of the semester and will be averaged into the student’s grade point average.
2.3 The final semester grade report will list the class and indicate the failing grade. 3.0 Procedure for dropping a Class After the Cut-Off Date
3.1 Students need to make an appointment with their counselor to request dropping a class. 3.2 Students will fill out the schedule change request form completely, which includes securing all signatures.
Students then need to return the completed form to the Counseling Office. 3.3 Students must continue with their current schedule until they receive a new one.
4.0 Procedure for Appealing a Denied Request
4.1 According to District Policy, if the student does not agree with the decision of the teacher or the counselor, the student may appeal to the principal. The principal shall investigate the challenge, consult with the teacher and counselor and make a final decision. To begin this process, please make an appointment with the Curriculum Assistant Principal in the College and Career Center.
SALEM-KEIZER HIGH SCHOOL Schedule Practices
1.0 Final schedules are provided to students on the first day of class in print or via StudentVue. Students have an opportunity to make elective changes following the online schedule change process. Students may only change to an elective that is offered the same period as the class they wish to drop on a space available basis.
2.0 Level change requests are addressed to the classroom teacher. Teachers will advise the student’s assigned counselor of the level change. The counselor will make the change and provide a new schedule to the student. Students must follow their previous schedule until a new official schedule is provided to them.
3.0 During the first week of the semester, counselors will correct scheduling errors for the following reasons only:
Incorrect placement, missing period class or “Needs Class”, and/ or duplicate classes or periods

SPRAGUE HIGH SCHOOL Advanced Placement and Honors Courses
Practices and Student Expectations
SHS supports any student who wants to accept the challenges of an advanced class. AP and honors courses can improve a student's chances of getting into college as well as help students to be better prepared for college. Research has shown that students who take Advanced Placement courses and exams are much more likely than their peers to complete a bachelor’s degree in four years or less. However, the opportunity to be in advanced placement or honors classes carries with it certain assumptions about the capabilities and maturity of students who will be doing advanced or college level work. It is hoped that students are primarily motivated by an appreciation for the subject and secondarily by GPA or the AP exam. Students are expected:
1. To be independent learners, willing to read, learn, ask questions, pursue outside reading and research, integrate and discuss material from diverse sources.
2. To spend, on average, approximately five hours per week on homework for each AP class. 3. To attend class, take tests, and turn in assignments on time. 4. To accept that enrollment in an AP course does not guarantee an A or B grade. 5. To gracefully accept assignments, suggestions, and coaching from the teacher.
Students who enroll in an advanced placement course or honors course and their parent/guardian are advised:
1. To demonstrate independence and responsibility. Meet the highest standards of performance in any honors or advanced placement course. Each AP and honors course has an average of an hour and a half of homework per night.
2. A student who forecasts in the spring for an AP or Honors course must stay in the class through the first six-week progress report. After that time the student may request to drop the course and will be assigned to a different course with an available seat. The student may not be able to enroll in the specific course and/or level that he/she desires, and may be placed in whichever course is available and can fit into the student’s schedule. The student may be issued partial credit for the dropped course if he/she was able to earn credit the first six weeks with a passing grade. Otherwise a dropped class is reflected with a failing grade on the student’s official transcript.
3. To consult with parents/guardians, counselor and/or teachers to ensure that he/she is registered for the appropriate number of AP courses.
4. Parents/guardians should be familiar with the AP course requirements and exit procedures listed above. 5. Parents/guardians agree to encourage their student to communicate with the teacher when discipline or
curricular questions or concerns arise. If the situation remains unresolved they will request an appointment with the teacher.
