PLANNING YOUR SCHEDULE

It is important for students to plan their schedules carefully and discuss their choices with their teachers,

counselor and parents. Students are encouraged to consider the following:

• Have I met the graduation requirements for North Royalton High School?

• Have I selected classes to prepare me for post-high school education?

• Have I selected challenging courses appropriate to my interests and abilities?

• Do I have a four-year high school plan?

• Do I have the necessary prerequisites for the classes I want to take? (See the sequence charts for

English, Math, Social Studies, and Science)

• If I am an athlete, have I checked for NCAA elibigility?

Careful planning and decision-making will make your high school experience positive as you build a solid

educational foundation for the future. The number of sections offered for a course is based on student

registration. PLEASE REGISTER ACCURATELY.

COURSE LOAD REQUIREMENT

The minimum pupil load each year is 5.75 credits (not to include summer school credits).

SCHEDULE CHANGES

All schedule changes must be made before May 1, 2016

Every effort will be made to ensure that students are properly placed in classes, which they select during

the registration process. Any type of schedule change has a serious effect on class size, staffing/teacher

assignments, and the overall master schedule. Some courses listed in the NRHS Course Catalog may not be

offered each year.

No changes will be made unless:

• There is a technical error in the scheduling process

• It is determined by a team consisting of the classroom teacher, counselor, administrator, and parent that

the student is academically misplaced

• Adjustments need to be made due to successful completion of summer school courses

• A student wants to add an additional course where enrollment permits and does not require movement of

other courses

• A student does not have a minimum of 5.75 credits

Convenience changes will not be made. These include but are not limited to:

• Changing a class or lunch period to be with friends

• Requesting a different teacher

• Requesting early dismissal

• Requesting to drop a course because the student does not like the class or feels it might be too difficult

* Specific scheduling requests and requests for teachers cannot be honored.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS - Class of 2017

In order to receive a North Royalton High School Diploma, students must earn 21 credits, pass all

sections of the Ohio Graduation Test, and complete a Senior Exit Portfolio and interview. It is the

student’s responsibility to see that requirements for graduation are met. The high school will make every

effort to keep up-to-date records and to keep students and parents informed about the status of progress

toward completing the necessary requirements for graduation.

1.

* A Physical Education exemption is an option for our students. Participation and successful completion

of two full seasons of a sport, band, or cheerleading, spread out over two years is required to waive the

Physical Education requirement.

2. OHIO GRADUATION TEST

State law requires that a student must pass the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) in the core subjects Math,

Reading, Science, Social Studies and Writing. The OGT will be given in the spring of the student’s

sophomore year. Portions of the test in which the student is not proficient will be retaken in the fall and

spring of the junior year and again in the fall and spring of the senior year, if necessary. All portions of the

test must be passed to participate in commencement exercises.

ALTERNATIVE WAY TO MEET THE TESTING REQUIREMENTS:

A student may meet the testing requirements for passing all five Ohio Graduation Tests if he/she meets ALL

of the following criteria:

• Passes 4 of the 5 tests and has missed passing the 5th test by no more than 10 points

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are part of a program of college-level courses and exams that give high

school students the opportunity to receive credit and/or advanced placement in college. Students enrolling in

AP courses should expect to develop analytical reasoning skills and study the subject matter in great depth.

Approval for enrolling will be based on student ability, past performance, teacher recommendation, and

prerequisite courses. Advanced Placement courses, because of their academic rigor, are assigned a weighted

grade. All students enrolled in AP classes are required to take the AP exam, which is approximately $93.00.

Completion of summer assignments may be required. AP courses cannot be dropped once a student is

registered.

College Credit Plus+ PROGRAM/CCP+ ALSO KNOWN AS DUAL ENROLLMENT

WHAT IS THE COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS PROGRAM?

The College Credit Plus+ Program (CCP) allows Ohio high school students to earn college credit while in

high school. The successful completion of college courses also counts towards graduation credits. CCP+

is open to 7th through 12th grade students enrolled in the state’s public and nonpublic high schools. The

purpose of the program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and expose students to options beyond the

high school classroom.

An informational meeting is held every February at North Royalton High School and representatives from

local college are invited. Each college/university has established admission criteria and course registration

procedures which high school students must follow. Students and parents must inform the high school

administration by April 1, 2016, of their intent to participate in CCP+ for the upcoming school year.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

If you are a resident of Ohio and a student in the 7th through 12th grade, you may be eligible. Colleges

have different eligibility requirements and students will need to contact the CCP+ office at the post-

secondary institution.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE PROGRAM?

• Expands the curriculum available to students

• Provides opportunities for students to study those areas of special interest

• Allows students to earn college credit and high school credit

• Provides financial support for taking college courses

• Allows students to experience college-level work prior to making a final college selection

WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL RISKS OF THE PROGRAM?

• Possible inability to complete the public school’s graduation requirements

• Obligation of the student’s family to reimburse the school for the amount of funds paid to the

college for any incomplete or failed course

• Possible effect on GPA and class standing

• Increased independence and accountability for learning—parents may not receive communication

from college regarding poor progress or attendance

• Reduced opportunities for participating in high school activities

• No guarantee that the college courses will be scheduled at the desired time—NRHS schedule will

not be changed mid-semester to accommodate CCP+

• College courses taken may not transfer to another post secondary institution

• Social discomfort may be experienced

• Increased travel time and study time / Travel during the winter months

• Adjusted bell schedule days at NRHS may affect college course schedule

• Participation in CCP+ may affect high school/college athletic eligibility—students are responsible

for scheduling credits which meet OHSAA/NCAA guidelines

WHEN SHOULD I APPLY? — AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Page 12: 2016-2017 Course Catalog · 2016-01-21 · Sean Osborne, Principal Kevin Atkins, Assistant Principal Julie Cole, ... Kriste Smith, Department Chair, Dj-J Michelle Toth, K-M Scott

College Curriculum guides are available online and include days and times the classes meet.

Sketch out your plan.

• Make a “wish list” of courses and course times

• Decide if you wish to take college courses all day, or if you wish to either begin your day or end

your day at the high school

• After you receive the acceptance letter, call the college immediately to schedule an appointment to

register for college classes. CCP+ offices are very busy and students sometimes have to wait weeks

to get an appointment

The Cuyahoga Valley Career Center is an extension of North Royalton

High School and offers students a variety of career and technical education

programs duringtheirjuniorandsenioryears. These programs aredesigned

to provide students with marketable technical skills and preparation for a

career or further education making use of those skills. Upon graduation

from high school, students are ready for immediate employment or for

continued training in their chosen field in an apprenticeship, at a technical

institute or at a two- or four-year college. Entry to CVCC programs is by

application through the school counseling office.

Earning College Credit

There are several opportunities for students to earn college credits for the

career-technical coursework taken at CVCC. Most programs at CVCC are

designated “Ohio College Tech Prep” (identified in the program listings by the ◆ symbol), in which students can earn transcripted college credit that is transferrable to any public two- or four-year college in Ohio. Students must meet specific requirements to qualify,

including a 3.0 or better GPA at CVCC, completion of Algebra II or higher, and a 2.0 overall GPA. In addition, some CVCC programs

are approved by the Ohio Board of Regents as “Career Technical Credit Transfer” courses (identified in the program listings by CT2).

In these courses, students can earn credit in equivalent college courses by demonstrating agreed-upon technical knowledge and skills

based on recognized industry standards. The credits transfer as subject-specific credits to any public two- or four-year institution in

Ohio offering the equivalent technical course. CVCC also maintains individual agreements with several institutions that can lead

to articulated college credit for CVCC coursework. A complete list can be found in the CVCC catalog or website. College-bound

students should plan their four-year high school schedules carefully, so that they meet college entrance requirements and still have

room in their schedule for a CVCC program.

Academics/Scheduling

Most CVCC programs are two years in length and generally yield 4 units of elective credit per year, although some programs carry
