Dear Students and Parents,

Dear Students and Parents,

This Options Book is our way of sharing with you the courses and various educational programs/policies that students follow throughout their years at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School. It is our best attempt at compiling all the current information so students and parents can plan appropriately for the next few years. And students: it should serve as a valuable resource as you plan and schedule for your high school years and beyond. Careful planning and thoughtful decision-making will make your high school experience positive as you build a solid educational foundation for the future. Special attention should be directed at the Course Planning Guide located on the last few pages of this booklet-it’s a great planning tool. We are very proud of the comprehensive programming we are able to offer to each individual student. A variety of opportunities exist across the curriculum, from required courses in the core academics to electives in all areas of interest. You would be wise to select courses that we recommend: (1) fulfill graduation requirements, (2) best prepare you for your future, and (3) are areas of personal interest. If you have questions or concerns, please ask any staff member for assistance. We are here to serve you! I encourage you to get involved and take advantage of all facets of our school program. Enjoy your high school experience and best wishes for success at BBHHS. For your convenience, this document can also be found on the school’s web page at www.bbhcsd.org.

SchoolcounselingservicesareanintegralpartoftheBrecksville-BroadviewHeightsschools.Effortsaremade bythestafftoassiststudentsinrecognizinginterests,capabilities,andachievements,andtomakeavailable pertinentinformationthatwillbeofvalueinselectingcourses.

The counselors periodically review each student’s course selections, and, coupled with the recommendations of the staff, assist each student to meet graduation requirements and to formulate realistic goals.

Parent cooperation and participation is a vital part of the counseling program. Counselors invite and welcome parents throughout the year for conferences and especially during the registration period each year. The student or parent may make appointments with the student’s counselor any school day during normal school hours (7:10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.). If an appointment is desired, call the School Counseling Office secretary at 740-4721 or 740-4728.

Course Changes

Planning a schedule for the next school year is a difficult task and situations may occur requiring a change in that schedule. These schedule changes, however, have a serious effect on class size, teacher assignments, and the overall master-schedule, and therefore, must be made sparingly The student and parent are urged not to plan a program with the idea that it can be changed. Once a student selects his/her courses (verified by parents) the School Counseling Department will not initiate a schedule change unless a compelling educational reason exists.

After the close of the school year no changes will occur unless:

1.Thereisatechnicalerrorintheschedulingprocess.

2.Itisclearthatthestudentisacademicallymisplaced.

3.Thereisaschedulingconflict.

Evening School

No pupil enrolled full-time in Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School shall be permitted to earn credit in evening high school classes except under prior written permission, granted by the Principal or his designee. Availability may be limited.

Online Instruction

One potential option for students to earn credit for core coursework that they have failed is through select online credit recovery programs. Courses are available at student/parent’s expense. For students who are not successful in the typical schooling offerings, BBHCSD offers an online program. See your counselor for further details.

Credit Flexibility

Credit Flexibility enables students to earn high school credit based on the demonstration of subject competency. Students may complete coursework, test out of a course, or pursue educational options. Please see the proposal process on the web site or discuss this option with your counselor. Deadlines are August 1 (for fall), November 1 (for spring), and March 1 (for summer).

Credit Flexibility Guidelines

College Credit Plus

College Credit Plus (CCP), provides free full and part-time college credit to secondary school students who meet the admission requirements of a partnering college. Students that choose this option are enrolled in high school and college. Any student interested in this program should contact his/her guidance counselor before February 1st for application information. Students must select a 15 or 30 semester hour career pathway which will be determined in cooperation with local colleges. Students and parents must attend a mandatory virtual evening counseling session if they are interested in the program for the following year If you can't attend virtually, please contact the counseling office. All of the information regarding the College Credit Plus program is available on the web site.

BBHHS is excited to partner with Cuyahoga Community College to bring other college credit opportunities to our campus. For next year, College Composition I and II, College Algebra, and Calculus III will be offered along with possibly Organic Chemistry.

Limitations

To determine the number of credit hours a student can take in a year, BBHCSD must calculate the following credit limit:

30 – (high school only credits x 3) = Maximum number of College Credit Plus credit hours

Students may only take a maximum of 120 credit hours in the program.

If students would like to take more than the maximum number of credit hours, BBHCSD will pay the tuition, and the family would be responsible for paying the difference.

Most colleges define this through two tests: ACT or Accuplacer

GuidancefromODEontheAcademicHonors

Tobeeligible,studentsmustcompleteunits,orcredits,inspecificsubjects(seeabovechart).They can use Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College Credit Plus and Credit Flexibility coursework to meet the unit requirements of an honors diploma. A single course can meet multiple criteria if it fits under multiple subject areas.

Students also can design their own independent study courses. This requires that someone with proper licensure in the subject area must teach or co-teach the courses used for an honors diploma.

Math – Students must take algebra I, geometry, algebra II (or equivalent), and one other higher level course OR a four-course sequence that contains equivalent or higher content.

Science – Advanced science refers to courses that are inquiry based with laboratory experiences. They must align with the grades 11/12 standards (or above) or with an Advanced Placement science course or entry-level college course (clearly preparing students for a college freshman-level science class, such as anatomy, botany or astronomy).

Social Studies – Students may get credit for both an American history course and/or the Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate American history course (same for government and world history). If a district counts financial literacy as a social studies course, students can use it as an elective to meet the requirement. If the district counts financial literacy as a family consumer science or business education elective, it does not count.

World Language – Only credits from courses that are sequential and proficiency based (e.g., Spanish levels I, II, III or German I and II and French I and II) fulfill the honors diploma requirement. Sequential classical (e.g., Latin, Ancient Greek) and visual (e.g., American Sign Language) languages DO fulfill the honors diploma requirement. No units from language courses coded as “Foreign Language Exploratory” can count toward the honors diploma requirement. No units from culture-based courses can count toward the honors diploma requirements.
