School districts are required to provide full access to public school programs and support services to legally enrolled ARVS students in accordance with all state and federal statutes. ARVS students will participate in the required state-testing program. Student scores will be included in the school’s combined population report.

The credit recovery class will be scheduled into the student’s regular daily schedule. All coursework and tests will be completed at school. Both the failing mark and the credit recovery mark will be reflected on the transcript. The district may choose to use alternative recovery programs in place of APEX as needed. G. New Horizons Alternative School - If a student falls extremely behind in their progression toward graduation, it may be possible for them to enter New Horizons Alternative School. Admission to New Horizons is based on several factors, and the number of students admitted each year is limited.

The Advanced Placement Program, Courses, and Examinations

The Advanced Placement Program, sponsored by the College Board, is a program of college-level courses and

examinations that provides high school students with an opportunity to earn advanced placement, college

credit, or both while still in secondary school. The AP Program offers students challenge, study of subjects in

greater depth, accelerated learning opportunities, a sense of accomplishment, strength in a college application,

development of college-level study, analytical skills, and a head start for college credit.

Advanced Placement examinations are given in May. Advanced Placement scores are available online in July.

Students can prevent delays in score access through the following:

1. At Exam Time: Fill in the AP answer sheets carefully and consistently. Make sure names, birth dates,

gender, mailing addresses and email addresses are correct and legible.

2. Before July: Sign up for a College Board account at apscore.org. Remember or have access to the College

Board account username, password and AP number (or student ID number if used on the AP answer

sheet).

3. Log on to apscore.org to get your scores. Students can check website after taking the exams for the exact

date scores will be made available. A reminder will be sent to the email provided by the student on the

AP answer sheet.

Each college decides which AP Exam grades it will accept for credit and/or advanced placement. Generally,

institutions accept scores of 3 and above to award credit for an equivalent course. More than 3,000 U.S. colleges

and universities accept AP grades. Students seeking credit through the AP Program should obtain the college’s

AP Policy in writing or refer to the institution’s catalog. Currently the State of Arkansas pays testing fees for all

students completing AP courses.

Lake Hamilton offers PreAP or Advanced courses beginning in Middle School in preparation for AP courses. Participation in PreAP/AP courses requires a commitment contract signed by the student and parent(s). All AP students must complete the course and take each semester exam in order to receive weighted credit. AP course will be taught by an AP certified teacher.

8

Junior High School Sample Form PreAP Commitment Contract (8th and 9th grades)

PLEASE READ EVERY SECTION OF THE FOLLOWING CONTRACT VERY CAREFULLY. YOU MUST AGREE TO ALL

TERMS TO ENROLL IN A PREAP OR AP COURSE.

Certain skills, attitudes, and behaviors are essential to good learning. PreAP courses prepare students for the

challenges of AP courses. Both PreAP and AP are challenging elective courses. Students in an AP class have the

opportunity for college credit through the AP test. If a student completes two semesters of an AP class and

takes the AP exam, weighted credit will be given the student per state law and the student handbook. PreAP

class grades are NOT WEIGHTED. (For example, a “B” in a PreAP class does not count as an “A”.)

Research shows that students who take rigorous PreAP and AP courses score higher on exams such the ACT

and SAT, and are more successful in college courses. This applies to all students in PreAP and AP courses, not

just those who receive an “A” or a “B”.

Students in these classes are expected to exhibit a higher level of learning behaviors. The following are expected to be practiced by all students electing PreAP or AP courses. 1. Self-control and maturity: being able to discuss relevant topics in a mature way, being able to accept

feedback, being trustworthy and responsible, knowing the rules, coming to class with all the necessary

materials.

2. Critical thinking: being accurate and seeking accuracy; being clear and seeking clarity; being open-minded;

restraining impulsivity; taking a position when the situation warrants it; being sensitive to others’ feelings and

level of knowledge.

3. Creative thinking: engaging intensely in tasks even when answers or solutions are not immediately apparent.

4. Leadership and cooperation: establishing a relationship with teachers and peers, accepting team roles as

assigned, adding to the order of the classroom, sharing responsibility for class leadership.

5. Positive attitude: trying to find value and relevance when they are not immediately apparent, giving top

effort in unfamiliar tasks, giving others the benefit of the doubt.

6. Strong work ethic: devoting extensive time and energy to the completion of homework assignments,

projects, daily work, tests, quizzes, readings, writings, occasional extra time commitments, and near-perfect

attendance to class.

7. Honor: following the same honor code that many colleges have. Plagiarism or cheating in any form is

unacceptable. Students are expected to discuss with teachers any knowledge of students participating in any

dishonorable activities.

A student unwilling or unable to practice these behaviors should not elect PreAP or AP courses.

PreAP Algebra I is tied to a state mandated high stakes End of Course Exam which students must pass in order to

receive credit. 8th graders who take PreAP Algebra I will not be allowed to drop the course after October 1st. If

class size allows, other PreAP classes may be dropped during the first ten days of each semester with teacher,

principal, and parent signature.

This College Board program provides the only national standard for performance for the visual arts. The program is based on the premise that college level material can be taught successfully to secondary school art students. Therefore curriculum is regulated by three major concerns: (a) quality original work, (b) concentration – body of related works based on the student’s interest, (c) breadth of work—using a variety of mean and media. Drawing Portfolio, 2-D Design Portfolio, and 3-D Design Portfolio are the regulated areas of Advanced Placement Art. Therefore the department offers three different courses within the Advanced Placement program.

The department, when possible will provide supplies, but students are required to provide special media or supports where necessary. Students will be responsible for all cost related to preparing the AP Art Portfolio for submission to the College Board. Students must complete both semesters and submit the appropriate AP portfolio in order to receive weighted credit at the end of the year. Those enrolled in AP Art should seriously consider enrolling in ART 4 as well.
