GENERAL INFORMATION Wayzata High School students follow a block schedule. This schedule provides numerous opportunities for students to take a wide variety of classes while still meeting both local and state graduation requirements. Our school day is divided into four blocks with each block being approximately 85 minutes in length. Our school year is divided into four terms of nine weeks each. Most courses are either one or two terms and are identified as such in this guide. A two-term course in the block schedule is the equivalent of a full year of course work. All students must register for 16 credits per year. Each term of a course results in one term credit. Successful completion of a full schedule – four blocks for four terms – results in 16 credits. Music courses have a slightly different configuration in the schedule.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS To earn a Wayzata High School diploma, students must complete requirements in two (2) areas: 1) A student must have earned sixty (60) credits in Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12, with a distribution of coursework that meets the standards established by the Wayzata School Board and which meets Minnesota State standards, including: Graduates of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 COURSE OF STUDY English 2 Credits 9th English 2 Credits 10th English 2 Credits “A” Course 2 Credits “B” Course

REGISTRATION Students are encouraged to carefully select courses for the entire year. We hope you will take advantage of our broad selection of offerings from all departments. It is strongly recommended that students make an overall plan for their sophomore, junior and senior years. The scheduling office uses Skyward’s online registration to record a student’s course selections. In the event there are conflicts, closed classes, or classes not offered due to inadequate enrollments, we would use your alternate selections to adjust your schedule. It is in your best interests to make sure alternate selections are listed on the registration form in priority order. Due to the fact we build the master schedule and hire and assign teachers based on student course requests, choose wisely and carefully because you will be expected to honor your choices except under unusual circumstances. (i.e., failing a prerequisite, failing a sequential class). There will be limited opportunities for students to make adjustments in their schedule based on availability of seats.

EARLY GRADUATION Students who wish to graduate early must contact their counselor to work out the details. These students will be expected to meet all graduation requirements. A written contract will be established and must be signed by the student, parent/guardian, and counselor. This should be completed before the end of the junior year. A student may not earn more than sixteen (16) credits per school year to accelerate graduation.

CREDIT RECOVERY Students who are unable to successfully complete all their course work should work with their counselors to develop individualized plans to recover credits and earn their diplomas. Students can do make-up credit courses through our T.A.P. Independent Study Program. A student who is short credits may not earn more than twenty-four (24) credits in one academic year.

POST-SECONDARY ENROLLMENT OPTION (PSEO) The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program allows juniors and seniors in high school to take courses, full- or parttime, at liberal arts, community or technical colleges, universities, or non-profit degree granting trade schools for both high school and college credit. The program provides students with a greater variety of course offerings and the opportunity to pursue more challenging study. The tuition, fees and required textbooks are at no cost to students. Sophomores may enroll in a career or technical education course at a MnSCU college or university if they have attained a passing score or met the 8th grade standard on the 8th grade Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment in reading and meet other course prerequisites or course enrollment standards established by the college. These standards include but are not limited to assessment test scores, program admission or other requirements Students should see their counselor during registration for detailed information on this program in early spring prior to the year they would enter the program. Students cannot accelerate graduation through PSEO.

GENERAL INFORMATION

OFF CAMPUS COURSES Wayzata High School does offer some courses that require personal transportation as well as a significant amount of time off of the high school campus. These courses include, but are not limited to, Compass, Introduction to Education Field Experience, YES, Lifelong Activities, Internship and some alternative courses. Student records will be considered in the areas of attendance, discipline/behavior, and chemical/weapon violations, due to the need for a high level of maturity and responsibility for off campus learning. Students must agree to abide by all traffic laws and rules governing the use of alcohol, tobacco, or any other drugs. In an effort to best ensure student safety, students who have received a chemical violation within 12 months of taking one of these courses are prohibited from being enrolled. WHS administration reserves the right to change studentsâ€™ schedules to remain in compliance with school practice.

POST-HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING College and other post-secondary institutions have entrance requirements that vary from schools requiring only high school graduation to those that are extremely selective. The following information may be helpful to you as you plan your high school courses. In general, admissions are based on a studentâ€™s preparation, and the following factors are those most commonly considered: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Grade Point Average High school courses completed Test scores Extracurricular and community activities including evidence of leadership

The more selective a school is, the more emphasis is placed on rigorous academic work in English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, World Language, as well as a higher GPA and higher test scores. It is wise for college-bound students to take as much Math, Science, and World Language as they can comfortably handle while maintaining a strong GPA. Students should select courses that reflect their interests, talents, and goals. Taking academic courses without being able to learn the material adequately and maintain a strong GPA is usually counter-productive. Moreover, many colleges are looking for students with a background in the arts, extra-curricular activities and community service as well as academics. Students are encouraged to meet with their counselors and to use the College and Career Center (CCC) to obtain specific information to help with their planning. Following are selected examples of entrance requirements: 1.

Community College System - Community colleges require high school graduation or the equivalent. They do not require a specific GPA or test scores. Solid academic preparation is required to avoid significant remedial coursework.

Technical Colleges - A well-rounded high school background is important. Math, at least through Integrated 3 / Algebra 2, is particularly important. Business, technology, family and consumer science, and arts courses are very appropriate. A student wishing further exposure to technical education might also consider attending Hennepin Technical College half time as a junior and/or senior. There are 33 public technical colleges in the State of Minnesota and several private vocational schools offering a variety of technical programs for high school graduates.

Minnesota State University System - The six state universities will generally accept Minnesota residents or who earn a particular ACT score and meet minimum course requirements, which vary by school. The following courses are minimum requirements for admission to Minnesota State Universities:

GENERAL INFORMATION 4 years of English (including composition and literature) 3 years of Math (through Integrated 3 / Algebra 2) 3 years of Science (including one year each of a biological and a physical science) 3 years of Social Studies 2 years of a single World Language 1 year of either World Culture or Fine Arts 4.

Private Colleges - Entrance requirements vary greatly among private colleges. Emphasis is placed on strong college preparatory course work, GPA, test scores, extra-curricular activities, leadership and service.

University of Minnesota – Twin Cities - The U of M – Twin Cities is made up of several separate colleges, each with its own admission requirements. Admissions have become highly competitive for many of the colleges. Students considering the U of M should refer to the application booklet or the U of M website for specific requirements and standards.

University of Wisconsin System – Admission requirements for the Wisconsin system vary widely from campus to campus. An excellent booklet on the Wisconsin system is available from counselors and the CCC with detailed admissions information.

POST-HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING RESOURCES

Most high school students do not have firm career plans. The most frequent comment is “I don’t even know where to start!” Fortunately, help is available. Several resources at WHS can be helpful to students as they plan. Counselors – Through group guidance and individual sessions, the counselors help students and parents work through the post-high school planning process. The myriad of planning resources can be a little daunting. Sometimes personal contact with the counselor helps make it all seem more manageable. College and Career Center (CCC) – The CCC offers a wide range of printed, software and online resources. It is open to students and parents five days a week, with times before and after school as well as during the school day. MCIS – Minnesota Career Information System – This is an online resource purchased by WHS guidance services to provide additional access to planning support. Students and families can use this resource 24-7, all year round. The modules can take a student through the process from exploration to specific planning. Among the multitude of resources included are career exploration, college search, testing preparation, and financial aid. Login information is available from the CCC. Naviance – Naviance is a comprehensive website that you can use to help in making decisions about your post-high school plans. • Research colleges – Compare GPA, standardized test scores and other statistics to actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been admitted in the past. • Transcripts – See where your transcripts have been sent and when they were sent. • College Visits – See which college representatives are visiting WHS and when. • Scholarships – Search scholarship listings. • See your counselor for details.

NCAA ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Athletes interested in becoming eligible for Division I and Division II college athletic programs must meet the NCAA eligibility criteria. Early academic planning is critical so see your counselor for details. Courses that may not meet NCAA core requirements for Division 1 or 2 or meet individual entrance requirements for some colleges are: Yearbook, Graphic Novel, Cultural Dynamics, Composition/Grammar & Usage, Journalism 2, Wildlife Science, Forensics, Leadership and Y.E.S.

ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS

WHS ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM The WHS Advanced Placement (AP) program has grown in the variety of courses offered as well as the numbers of students willing to take academic challenges that match their abilities and interests. AP courses are college courses taught by trained WHS teachers on the high school campus. The WHS AP Program offers 32 courses representing a variety of discipline areas. The benefits for a student selecting these courses are many. • • • • • • • •

Provides academic challenge needed to maximize the potential of college-bound students. Motivates students to improve study habits. Demonstrates to colleges the student is taking advantage of AP courses offered at WHS. Allows students to excel in their chosen area of interest or strength. Provides students a chance to earn college credit accepted nation-wide without leaving the high school campus. Rewards achievement. Fosters leadership qualities in outstanding students. Permits students to “bank” credit for college graduation while also permitting students to fulfill core requirements or take more advanced courses.

WHS encourages all students to take Advanced Placement courses in their areas pf strength / interest. Tests are scored on a 1-5 scale, and score of 3 or above may make the student eligible for credit depending on the individual college or university policy. In 2016, 851 students took 1670 AP tests and 91% of the students scored a 3 or higher. The AP Program is highly respected by the colleges and universities. If you have questions about AP courses, please contact Sue Iverson, AP Coordinator, at 763-745-6605. The AP teachers are also available to answer more specific questions about courses. Weighted grades are used only with AP courses. We encourage students who plan to attend a four-year college to try at least one AP course during their high school careers. AP courses are offered to assist you in taking the following AP Exams: Art History Biology Calculus AB Calculus BC Chemistry Chinese Language Computer Science AB Computer Science Principles Economics: Macro Economics: Micro English Literature

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP) The College of Entrance Examination Board sponsors the CLEP Program. It is a national program of credit by examination that offers you the opportunity to obtain recognition for college-level achievement. No matter when, where or how you have learned, by means of formal or informal study – you can take CLEP tests. If the results are acceptable to your college, you will receive credit. Many colleges today encourage students to take CLEP tests for credit in courses for which they already have mastered the content. People of all ages have reduced college costs in time and money by successfully completing CLEP tests for credit. It is possible to receive up to one full year of college credit through these tests.

ART “Many people see artists as shamans, dreamers, outsiders, and rebels. In reality, the artist is a builder, an engineer, a research analyst, a human relations expert, a project manager, a communications specialist, and a salesman. The artist is all of those and more--combined with the imagination of an inventor and the courage of an explorer. Not a bad set of talents for any business challenged to innovate in a world of volatility, uncertainty, and change.” —Steven Tepper, Fast Company, March 2013 Learning through the arts is essential to 21st century education through the following methods: 1) the arts are an essential language to strengthen reading and writing, as well as visual literacy; 2) the arts develop essential skills for global competitiveness; and 3) the arts promote active and complex learning through the development of critical and creative thinking skills. Wayzata Public Schools have adopted a comprehensive curriculum in visual arts in which students have experiences in making art (art production), developing skills in expressing ideas about the nature of art, both orally and through writing (aesthetics), analyzing and forming judgments about art works (art criticism), and appreciating the significance of art across time in human cultures (art history). The Art Department offers a sequential range of courses in the following disciplines: AP Art History, Digital Photography, Drawing, 3D Design, Graphic Art & Design, Painting and Pottery. Courses with Advanced or Advanced Placement offerings can be found under Art History, Drawing and Pottery. Note: All Level 1, 2, 3 Art classes are one term courses. All Advanced and Advanced Placement courses are a semester long (two terms). All courses in the Art Department meet the Fine Arts requirements for graduation.

FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCE Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (C) Concurrent Enrollment is a partnership between secondary and post-secondary schools. Through this partnership, qualified students can earn college credit prior to high school graduation. CEPs differ from other pre-college credit programs because high school instructors teach the college courses during the normal school day. Students receive dual credit and there are not additional costs for the student. A college transcript will be mailed to the student from the postsecondary institution. Course Articulation High school students may take technical college courses while still attending high school. These high school courses have been matched with similar courses at Hennepin Technical College. Students meeting the technical college requirements will earn technical college credit, as well as high school credit, to apply toward graduation. This is an excellent way to get a head start on an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree without leaving the high school. Articulated courses are designated with a dagger (†).

MATHEMATICS Students are urged to carefully select mathematics courses to meet the requirements of the Wayzata School District, state requirements, and to best prepare them for their post-secondary plans. The Wayzata School District requires students to take eight credits in mathematics. More and more universities and occupations require a study of mathematics that includes an understanding of concepts from algebra, geometry, probability, statistics, and discrete mathematics. As a minimum, students should consider taking mathematics courses at least through Integrated Mathematics 3 / Algebra 2. In most cases, universities may want applicants to have completed mathematics courses through Integrated Mathematics 4 / Precalculus. Additionally, taking mathematics courses during your senior year is very important in providing a smooth transition from high school to college and university study. Incoming 9th grade students may register for 301 or 302, and 304 or 305 based upon the recommendation of their 8th grade math teacher. If students and their parents opt to disregard teachers’ recommendations, they must fill out the appropriate form and return it with their registration materials. A student who earns a passing grade less than a C in any math course is encouraged to retake the course rather than proceeding into the next course in the sequence. Credit will be given for both courses. Generally speaking, the further one progresses in the mathematics sequence, the more difficult it is to maintain a particular grade (e.g., it is more difficult to obtain a “B” in Math 4X than it is to do so in Math 3X).

In our own culture, music is pervasive and inescapable, whether or not we consciously listen to it. Most people go through a series of phases in their awareness and appreciation of music. With a wide variety of musical styles available to us at the click of a mouse, we are presented with the choice of making informed listening choices or passively accepting whatever is popular (or marketed) at the moment. The receptive and mature listener and performer seeks information about a wide variety of music in order to make intelligent and satisfying listening and performing decisions. The Music History class at WHS focuses on music of Western European origin, commonly referred to as “classical” music. The eras of music history covered include the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Contemporary. Music by Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, Verdi and Wagner will be studied and analyzed for form and content. Students will be assigned their own set of CDs for use with the textbook and tests will require recall of specific pieces and composers. This course is strongly recommended for AP Music Theory students in the same year they take AP Music Theory. Topics from Music History appear on the AP Music Theory test. It is also recommended that all students registering for this class have previous musical experience through school programs or private study. 647 MUSIC THEORY AND EAR TRAINING 1 Term  Grade 9  Grade 10  Grade 11  Grade 12 This course is designed primarily for students with previous music instruction who wish to deepen their understanding of written music and ear training.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION Questions and Answers What if my login and/or password are incorrect, what do I do? First check login and password for typical keying errors. Here are possible solutions. • The login is the five letters of student last name, three letters of student first name and three zeroes (in most cases). If your first or last name does not fill the required number of characters spaces must be added. • 1- is the number one • l - is a lower case “L” • 0 - oblong shape is the number zero • o – circular shape is a lower case letter “O” While in the process of requesting my courses the computer shuts down. Will I lose my selection(s)? No, when you log back in courses previously selected will still be there. Do I “save” before exiting the system? No, when you log out, Skyward will automatically save the courses requested. Will I have the opportunity to make changes after February 13? No, students need to select their courses carefully and enter them ONLINE. What if I lose or forget my password? For assistance with passwords see a Media Specialist or Technology Para. Is there a scheduling preference given to students who register early? No. Registration is a tally process. Skyward is simply counting how many students select a specific class. What if I do not have access to a computer? Students can register at any computer that has access to the Internet. Students can register at home, school or at any public library. The Media Center is open daily from 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. What happens if I do not select (5) Alternate classes? Some students may be at a disadvantage if a scheduling conflict arises or if a class is not offered due to limited enrollment. It is in your best interest to select five alternate classes.

What if a student has a scheduling process question, whom should they contact? Contact the scheduling office at gerrene.foley@wayzata.k12.mn.us What if the student has a Skyward question, whom should they contact? Contact the technician at marie.reed@wayzata.k12.mn.us or call 763-745-5110 What if a student has a schedule question regarding their courses?
