Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s) and Students,

Welcome to Washington County High School. We know and understand that registration and the high school experience can be confusing. Our goal is to provide each of you with the information required for graduation, class descriptions, electives, required courses and other information. This will help to ensure when your son or daughter graduates they will be college and/or career ready. This document should assist with this process.

Included in this packet are the necessary forms to help your child schedule for next school year. We hope you will review these materials and ensure your child registers for the classes he/she needs to take. Washington County High School will be utilizing a 7-period day for the 20-21 school year. Students must sign-up for 7 credits.

A course description list is included in this packet. Each course description identifies the pre-requisite for the course, the grade levels that the course is available to, the number of credits offered for the entire course, and a brief description.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school should you have questions during the registration process. Our goal is to work together with students and families to make your four years at WCHS a success. If you would like to schedule a meeting to discuss your student’s schedule please call the guidance office to set up a meeting with your child’s counselor. Counselors will hold a one on one meeting upon request.

Sincerely,

Malissa Hutchins, Principal

SCHOOL SCHEDULING POLICYAll courses listed in this Curriculum Guide require a sufficient number of student requests in order to be

4

offered during the year. If there is not sufficient interest in a particular course, it may not be provided during the upcoming year. Therefore, it is very important that students select alternate courses with the same thoughtful consideration as their first choices. The course descriptions on the following pages are arranged by departments. Many of the classes have prerequisites that are listed prior to the course description. Please be mindful that fees are also associated with some courses. If your child has a schedule change they would like to make, please refer to the following policy:

Washington County High School Class Change Policy/Policy Number: 8.1.4Students at WCHS will have the opportunity to request changes to their schedule: 1. Students must complete a paper request change form and submit it in the counseling office for scheduling committee review.2. All requests must be received by scheduling committee by Friday of the first full week of school.3. Any changes made must be reviewed and approved by the scheduling committee.

Grade Point Average (GPA)A student’s grade point average is an indicator of how well that student is performing in school. A student’s GPA is the average of their semester (or end of term) grades, starting with their freshmen year. WCHS uses a 4.0 scale in which an A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1. Students who have all A’s have a 4.0 grade point average.

WCHS has ‘weighted grades” for advanced placement courses and dual credit classes. Grades in weighted courses are worth more than grades in non-weighted courses. In weighted classes, an A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2

Because colleges use GPAs to guide their admission process, college bound students will find it very important to have a high GPA.

The program offers Scholars a chance to know and make friends with other enthusiastic, energetic students with high intellectual capacities. The give-and-take among Scholars from different backgrounds is one of the most treasured aspects of the program.

language. It is also recommended to have taken the ACT by October of their junior year. Course difficulty level is also criteria used in selecting members of the program. See the Guidance Office for details.
