Seminole County Public Schools Mission Statement

The mission of the Seminole county Public Schools is to ensure that all Early Childhood Program and PreK–Grade 12 students acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes to be productive citizens in our great country and global economy.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGEThe most important decision a student makes is what classes to take each

year. These choices not only fulfill graduation requirements, but determine the pathway towards the student’s future. The curriculum guide is an important resource when selecting classes each school year. Please take the time to review your course selections paying close attention to the prerequisites, graduation requirements, and course sequencing. Also within the curriculum guide is information about the Finance Academy, electives, the district’s ePathways initiative, dual enrollment, and advanced placement.

Lake Brantley is proud to offer many options that meet each individual student’s needs and strengths. Student schedules, staff allocations, and teachers’ loads are determined by the students’ course requests that are inputted within the next few weeks. It is important to Lake Brantley High School that each student makes decisions that are accurate and courses are chosen wisely. Sched-ule changes after the master schedule has been finalized are not guaranteed.

Teachers, counselors, and administrators are available to help you with your schedule options. We hope your 2018-2019 school year is a successful one and you “meet the Patriot Challenge!”.

notiCe to students and Parents ConCerninG Course donationsIn an effort to provide educational enhancements to students beyond the curriculum routinely offered, donations in certain courses historically have been sought in Seminole County Public Schools on a voluntary contribution basis. Every encouragement is given to students and parents to assist Lake Brantley High School in continuing the practice of course embellishment that these donations make possible. While such assistance is a practical necessity to maintain current practices, no student shall be denied the opportunity either to take any course or to participate fully in all aspects of a course in which donations are sought. Thank you for your understanding and for your commitment to excellence.

Band, Chorus, ROTC, and Dance Performance, because of the numerous competitions and performance events associated, are considered to be extracurricular activities in which fees may be required for items such as uniforms, dry cleaning, workshops and clinics, etc. Additionally, student enrollment in specific courses may be required for participation in these activities.

teChnoloGy use in learninG, Motivation, and reCoGnition

Seminole County Public Schools believes technology is a valuable educational tool. All classroom teachers use technology as an instructional tool. Some examples of such activities are:

• Use of the Internet to access encyclopedias, magazines, the district's media/library catalog, web sites for educational projects, on-line district and state classes and to conduct research in preparation for a project or presentation.

• Students are photographed or videotaped for the purposes of daily school news broadcasts and yearbooks. Photographs or videos of students are also placed on school/district web pages as a form of recognition for special achievements, activities, projects and as a motivation to be creative.

• Student works are published on the Web (Internet) to share stories, poems and other creative works with other students and the school community and to provide motivation for writing.

If you wish to have your student excluded from any of the preceding activities, exclusion (opt-out) forms are available on the district website and at your student's school.

Grade Point averaGeSeminole County School Board awards weight for Gifted and Honors courses Level 3 (.5 additional Quality Point for grades of A-C for a 1.0 credit course) in addition to the weighting for AP Courses (1.0 additional Quality Point for grades A-C for a 1.0 credit course.)

Grade flaGGinG (auditinG) PoliCyStudents may audit ("flag") elective courses with the lowest grades from their GPA calculation if they meet the graduation requirement of 26 credits and have met all of their core academic requirements. However, there are some restrictions for the senior students. If seniors exceed 10 unexcused absences for a 1/2 credit class, flagging/auditing is NOT AN OPTION.

nCaa/naiaIn order to be eligible to practice and participate in intercollegiate athletic competition and receive an athletic scholarship the first year of attendance, a freshman student entering an NCAA division I or II institution must successfully complete a core curriculum in high school of at least 16 academic courses in grades 9 through 12 and must achieve a minimum grade point average in core curriculum, as well as present a minimum score on the ACT or SAT.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Educational Equity — Notice of Nondiscrimination

The Educational Equity Administrator for Seminole County Public Schools has the responsibility of assuring compliance with the educational equity requirements by providing technical expertise, monitoring activities or programs related to compliance, and responding to equity complaints. One of the responsibilities is to administer the Educational Equity Complaint/Grievance Procedures as adopted by the School Board.

It is the policy of the School Board of Seminole County, Florida, that no employee, student, or applicant shall — on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, marital status, age, religion, or any other basis prohibited by law — be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination and harassment under any educational programs, activities, or in any employment conditions, policies, or practices conducted by the District.

LBHS — 3

In the spring of 2013 the Florida Legislature created new diploma options for the students of Florida. In doing so, they have offered students more choice as well as an opportunity to align their education to their future college and career plans. In Seminole County we refer to these new choices as Diploma Pathways. We call them Pathways because we believe that students should use their time in high school to embark on their own personal Pathway to success. Students may now choose a Pathway that will result in a standard high school diploma, a high school diploma connected with industry certification, a diploma designed to rigorously prepare them for the university setting, a diploma option in world languages, or an Advanced Placement diploma option.

Seminole County offers the Florida Seal of Biliteracy, which recognizes a high school graduate who has attained a high level of competency in one or world languages in addition to English. Beginning with the 2016-2017 school year, the Gold Seal/Silver Seal of Biliteracy will be awarded to high school students who earn a standard diploma and who earn four world language course credits in the same world language with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale and achieve a qualifying score on a world language assessment.

The Advanced Placement Capstone Diploma is now being offered in partnership with College Board. Students who specialize in Advanced Placement courses and satisfactorily complete the AP Seminar, AP Research and four additional

AP courses as determined by College Board are eligible for the AP Capstone Diploma. This diploma option is being offered at all Seminole County Public High Schools with the exception of Crooms Academy of Information Technology.

In the subsequent chart you will find the Diploma Pathways and the corresponding expectations associated with each one. In addition to those offered by the state of Florida, Seminole County also offers the AP Capstone Pathway and Scholars with Distinction Pathway. These very rigorous Pathways will challenge even the most talented and dedicated students to an even higher level of academic accomplishment.

Seminole County will start each and every student on the Scholars Pathway. We want to ensure that students are setting their academic goals high as they begin high school. Through performance and self-selection, students and their families may opt to change Pathways as they progress through high school. Our goal is to have all students qualify to earn a Scholars Pathway diploma. In the end, regardless of the Pathway Diploma, we want every student in Seminole County to exit our school system as a graduate.

Your administrators and guidance counselors are available to provide further guidance on what each of the Pathways requires.
