Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students: It is a pleasure to share with you the Uxbridge High School Program of Studies for 2015-2016. This Program of Studies has been developed so that our students will have access to a well-rounded four-year educational program. The diverse educational programs described in this program provide each student with the opportunity to have his or her individual needs met. They are designed to foster the scholastic achievement, responsible citizenship, and social skills necessary for success after high school. In addition to describing classes, the Program of Studies provides information about graduation requirements, credits, grades, course levels, weighted grades, Advanced Placement courses, and special programs. You will also find a sequence of courses flow chart for our core academic classes, which was created in collaboration with the UHS School Council. I encourage students to select classes that are academically challenging and interesting. It is important that students and parents/guardians review the course offerings for each department before completing the online registration. Teachers, guidance counselors, department leaders, and administrators are available to assist students and parents/guardians in making these selections. Students, this is your opportunity to make those educational choices that will provide the basis for reaching your future goals and career choices. We will do our best to develop a schedule to honor your requests. Please be aware that some courses may not run because of lack of interest, an unforeseen change in staffing levels, or budget restrictions. Do not be afraid to ask questions about any aspect of your course selection for next year. We are here to ensure that the courses you choose now will help create a solid foundation for future success. Make it a great year!

Courses included in MassCore should be rigorous, engaging, and based on appropriate Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks high school level standards. Uxbridge High School is following the recommended MassCore program. The Massachusetts High School Program of Studies (MassCore) is intended to help our state's high school graduates arrive at college or the workplace well prepared and reduce the number of students taking remedial courses in college. MassCore recommends a comprehensive set of subject area courses and units as well as other learning opportunities to complete before graduating from high school. MassCore recommends four years of English and Math, three years of a lab-based Science and History/Social Science, two years of the same Foreign Language, one year of Arts, Physical Education as “required by state law”, and five other “core” courses in career and technical education, or any other subject areas, as well as additional learning opportunities including AP classes, dual enrollment/ early college, senior project/capstone coursework, online courses for high school or college credit, or service- or work-based learning.
*MassCore defines a unit to represent a full academic year of study or its equivalent in a subject that covers all the standards contained in a specific Curriculum Framework. Uxbridge High School’s designation of a unit: A semester course = 1 unit = 1 credit A full-year course = 2 units = 2 credits To learn more about MassCore visit the Department of Education website at: http://www.doe.mass.edu/ccr/masscore/ 3
GUIDANCE & COUNSELING DEPARTMENT The mission of the Guidance & Counseling Department at Uxbridge High School is to assist students in all aspects of their high school learning experience while encouraging responsible citizenship and lifelong learning. We are committed to a partnership involving students, parents/guardians, and school staff. Students are encouraged to see their counselors for assistance with any issues related to the high school experience including academics, post graduate planning, and/or personal issues. Assistance can be provided for students through four primary interventions: individual/small group counseling, large group guidance, consultation, and coordination. Our goal is to provide a safe, confidential environment that fosters this relationship. Each student is assigned a Guidance Counselor, and will have access to him/her throughout the duration of their high school career. Students may see their Guidance Counselor by requesting an appointment either in person, email, or through the Guidance Secretary. Should any questions or concerns arise, parents/guardians are encouraged to email or call their child’s Guidance Counselor. See contact information below. School Adjustment Counselors are available to meet with students in a confidential setting to help problem solve school, peer, or personal conflicts in order to refocus on their academic school day. Counseling groups may also be offered depending on the needs of the student body. Adjustment Counselors have access to many community resources to offer students and families further support and longer term counseling if needed. Students can request an appointment, or be referred by parents/guardians and school staff.

Massachusetts State College and University Admission Standards Minimum Grade Point Average (G.P.A.): The GPA must be achieved based on all college preparatory courses completed at the time of application and should be weighted for accelerated (Honors or Advanced Placement) courses. The required minimum weighted high school GPA is 3.0 for the four-year public campuses. State College G.P.A. 3.0
University G.P.A. 3.0
For students whose G.P.A. falls below 3.0, the combined SAT-I sliding scale range has been altered: 920-1120 for state colleges, 950-1150 for universities. Other changes that started with the fall of 2000 include the allowance of two ESL (English as a Second Language) college Preparatory courses in lieu of two of the four required English courses, and no science waivers will be allowed (in some cases the third science requirement was waived based on the high school’s curriculum and/or other circumstances). Additional language accompanies these requirements as defined by the BHE. The standards for admission still require the successful completion of the 16 academic college preparatory units including 4 English, 3 Science, 3 Math, 2 Foreign Language, 2 Social Sciences, and 2 electives. The public colleges also have an exemption cap of 10%, which allows admission to a small number of students who do not meet the above standards. For further information regarding the standards at State Colleges and Universities, please visit the Board of Higher Education website at www.mass.edu. Weighted Grade Point Average (WGPA) The following are the “Levels” that are used to determine the weighted grade point average. LEVEL 1 ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES These courses are most intensive offered at UHS and are designed to prepare students to take the Advanced Placement Examination in a particular subject area. A student who earns a grade of 3 or better on an AP Exam is generally considered qualified to receive credit for the equivalent course at one of the 2,900 colleges and universities that give credit for AP Exams. The estimated cost for each AP Exam is $89. LEVEL 2 HONORS COURSES These courses are more intensive than experienced by the majority of our students. Classrooms activities require a great deal of independent learning. Course content demands critical, creative, and analytical thinking. Courses will require demonstration of comprehensive understanding of the structure of the discipline. Classroom activities are organized with some teacher assistance. Course content tends to be abstract and/or conceptual. LEVEL 3 COLLEGE PREPARATORY AND POST-SECONDARY SCHOOL COURSES Classroom activities are organized with a moderate amount of teacher assistance. Concepts or skills are acquired through memorization and recall. Course content tends to be concrete and not abstract. Assignments may be short or long-term in duration.

UXBRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL – GPA, CLASS RANK, WEIGHTED FACTORS Weighted rank-in-class is computed using the following factors: LEVEL WEIGHT 1 (Advanced Placement) 1.10 - 10% above grade point average 2 (Honors) 1.05 - 5% above grade point average 3 (College Prep) 1.00 - grade point average METHOD OF COMPUTATION Briefly, rank is calculated by multiplying the actual report card grade by the weight given to the level of the course. This yields the weighted grade. The weighted grades are multiplied by the course credit (2). The sums of these weighted grades are then divided by the total number of credits, which in turn gives a weighted average. Below is an example for one trimester’s computation. Course Tech Ed. AP English Math Honors Government Biology

875.50 divided by 10 = 87.55 Weighted Average A weighted average accurate to two (2) decimal places is computed at the end of the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades, and first and second trimester of grade 12, taking into account the student’s grade for a given course, the weighting factor determined by the level of that course, and the number of credits. Class ranks for each of these years are determined by putting these weighted averages into descending sequence.

VIRTUAL HIGH SCHOOL The VHS collaborative provides online learning opportunities that reinforce the full range of 21st century skills today’s students need to succeed. In every VHS course, students use wikis, blogs, and other tools in their daily academic work. They discuss, debate, analyze, and create with classmates through group projects and assignments. They practice global citizenship as they work and share ideas with a diverse group of students in a global classroom. Students leave each VHS course better prepared academically, technologically, and globally to face the challenges of college and work in a 21st century world. VHS courses span virtually all disciplines at all academic levels. Some of the more popular courses include Criminology, Investing in the Stock Market, Business & Personal Law, Forensic Science, Art History, and Pre-Veterinary Medicine. Popular Advanced Placement courses include AP Economics (Micro & Macro), AP Government & Politics, AP Art History, and AP Computer Science. VHS students should be independent learners who can budget their time effectively, enjoy working independently and want to use current information and communication technologies. Students have a designated class time as they would with any other elective. The following parameters are a guideline for VHS high school level courses: ● A standard (College Preparatory) level class requires students to be actively engaged in their coursework for approximately 6 - 8 hours per week. ● An honors level class requires students to be actively engaged in their coursework for approximately 8 10 hours per week. ● An AP level class, requires students to be actively engaged in their coursework for approximately 10 - 12 hours per week. Check out Virtual High School by visiting the website at http://thevhscollaborative.org/catalog and access a demo net course. Academic Policies Student Responsibilities To help students have a successful VHS experience, students are responsible for knowing and adhering to the policies and procedures that are described below. These policies are also outlined for students in the VHS student orientation. Attendance VHS students are expected to attend and participate in their course(s) as fully as they would attend and participate in a traditional classroom course. All assigned work should be completed in a timely fashion, and students must actively participate in course discussions. At an absolute minimum, students are required to log-in and perform work in their course(s) three times per week. Ideally, students will access their VHS classes each day. The following parameters can be used as guidelines for VHS high school level courses: ● A standard level class requires students to be actively engaged in their coursework for approximately 6 8 hours per week. ● An honors level class requires students to be actively engaged in their coursework for approximately 8 10 hours per week. ● An AP level class, requires students to be actively engaged in their coursework for approximately 10 - 12 hours per week. In cases of extended student absence due to illness (five days or more), the site coordinator, or the student's parent/guardian, may contact the course teacher directly to notify the teacher of any delay in providing assigned work. It is the responsibility of the student to make up work missed due to absence. Unless there
57
are extenuating circumstances, work should be made up within one week of the student's return to class. Credit for makeup work is at the discretion of the course instructor. A student who neglects coursework, or has excessive or unexcused absences may be required to withdraw from the course. Required withdrawal from a course is equivalent in all respects to failing it; the student is assigned a grade of WF (withdrawal fail) and earns no credit for the course. In cases of extended absence due to illness (two days or more), the student, or the student's parent/guardian, should notify the teacher directly of any delay in providing assigned work. It is the responsibility of the student to make up work missed due to absence. Academic Honesty All work submitted to meet course requirements is expected to be the student's own work. A student suspected of academic dishonesty in any form is subject to review and disciplinary action by VHS. Disciplinary action may result in termination from the course. Acceptable Internet Use Policy All students participating in VHS are expected to conduct their communications in a professional, respectful manner. The use of proper Internet etiquette is expected at all times. Inappropriate language or behavior will result in disciplinary action and possible termination from the course at the discretion of VHS. Anti-Harassment Policy VHS is committed to safeguarding the right of all individuals involved in VHS to work and learn in an environment that is free of harassment. Harassment on the basis of race, color, ancestry, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, or disability in any form will not be tolerated and may result in termination from the course. Student Discipline As in any classroom, the VHS teacher will attempt to address discipline problems directly with the student prior to referring the student to VHS. If the instructor is unable to resolve the problem, or if the infraction is such that it requires administrative notification, the teacher will contact VHS and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. Grades There is a common grading scale for all courses offered by VHS. Grades range from A+ (100%) for excellent work to F (59% or below) for work that does not meet the minimum requirements of the course. Your current grade average will be available in your course each week and your final grade will be available in your course and be sent to you via email. When converting numeric grades to letter grades, the system will use the following scale: Letter Grade
Numeric Grade
A+ 97 - 100 A 93 - 96 A90 - 92 B+ 87 - 89 B 83 - 86 B80 - 82 C+ 77 - 79 C 73 - 76 C70 - 72 D+ 67 - 69 D 63 - 66 D60 - 62 F 00 - 59 Grades will be reported to the school by the site coordinator.
