7 Early Graduation High-school students from the Milwaukee Public Schools are encouraged to complete four years of study resulting minimally in completion of the prescribed graduation requirements at the district and school levels. Procedures for permitting early graduation include the following: 1. A student wishing to graduate early must complete all district requirements for graduation. 2. A student must request a conference to declare interest in early graduation (with parental signature if the student is under 18). 3. A conference shall be held with the parent, student, and principal (or designee) to review options and to make a decision, with a sign-off by principal (or designee), student, and parent (if the student is under 18). At this meeting, the student and parent will receive information regarding early graduation (scholarships, advanced courses, AP, IB, and YOP opportunities, etc.) to facilitate the making of an informed decision. 4. For students who have received sign-off by the principal on the district-provided form for early graduation, the school will document in the student database that the student has met the diploma requirements at the semester-end date and will withdraw the student. Early graduates in good standing will be allowed to participate in the school s year-end graduation ceremony and activities. 5

8 Certificate of Completion vs. High School Diploma Part of the annual IEP process is to discuss your student s transition into life after High School. As part of this process, we want to take time to explain the differences between a Certificate of Completion vs. a High School Diploma and what this means towards your student s future as well as life after school. Certificate of Completion ] Not the same as a High School Diploma ] Student will receive special education services through the age of 21. ] A Certificate of Completion is awarded to the student during the school year the student turns 21. ] Your student will be in more special education classes, which follow modified standards that align with the Common Core Standards (Essential Elements). ] Your student will NOT be able to use a Certificate of Completion for entry into a college or university. ] Focus will be on your student s transition for life after High School. ] Your student will be asked to participate in nonacademic tasks that will increase your student s transition skills. High School Diploma ] Overall minimum of 22 credits to graduate ] Students are required to take and pass the following classes: 4.0 units: English/Language Arts 3.0 units: Mathematics (courses at or above the Algebra level) 3.0 units: Science 3.0 units: Social Studies as follows: US History, World History, World Geography or World Studies citizenship or 0.5 American government AND 0.5 Economics 1.5 units: Physical Education over a three-year period 0.5 unit: Health 1.0 unit: Fine Arts (Art, Music, Dance or Theater) 2.0 World Languages 1.0 College and Career Readiness 3.0 units: Electives ] Your student will have access to educational services through the age of 21. ] Your student will be able to earn credits until the school year they turn 21. Employability Skills Certificate ] Students with disabilities (or without) who are working in paid employment may earn a DPI employability skills certificate. This is a state credential of student mastery. The components are: ] The student must work 90 on the job paid work hours ] A supervising teacher is required ] Students aged 14 and older, and enrolled in school, are eligible Guidance Process Course Selection Process To establish class sections and accurately determine staffing needs for the ensuing year, it is necessary to secure registration about midway in the current school year. School counselors will conference with students to provide advisement on required and elective course selection. Courses selected at this time should be given serious consideration and selected in terms of the student s total four-year program. Parent involvement in student course selection is highly encouraged. The final decision on the selection of any elective course is up to the student and his/her parent/guardian, providing the selections follow a proper 6

9 course sequence and are not in conflict with other school regulations. Students then attend a course selection session with their counselor to input their selections in a registration program. Parents will be notified when the course selection process begins. Note: Course offerings in any department are contingent upon enough students enrolling in the course. If there is not sufficient enrollment for a course to be offered, students will be asked to make other selections. Academic and Career Planning An Academic and Career Plan (ACP) represents a fluid, mapped academic plan reflecting a student s unique set of interests, needs, learning goals and graduation requirements. It goes beyond the traditional 4 Year Plan by recording a student s connections to the larger community including community service, volunteerism, hobbies and activities, and post-secondary planning. Development of an ACP involves students participation in school counseling activities beginning in kindergarten and continuing through high school. These activities focus on academic, personal/ social, and career development with the purpose of preparing the students for post-secondary/college and career choices. Parents/Guardians are an integral part of the ACP process by supporting ongoing career exploration. Additionally, parents are invited to participate in an ACP Conference with their child and the school counselor at 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th grades. Ideally, ACP conferences occur during the school day with the student, parent/guardian, and counselor. Alternate scheduling may be arranged with the school counselor to meet the needs of parents/guardians. ACP conferences should last between minutes. This process will help parents and students make informed decisions to meet their academic and career goals. ACP Conference Topics ] Self-Awareness Who Am I? ] Career Planning and Management What Do I Want to Do? ] Academic Progress and Management How Will I Get There? ] Special Concerns Throughout high school and with school counselors, students view and update ACP documents. Completed ACPs are stored in the e-portfolio of Career Cruising. Learn more by visiting Career Clusters As a part of a student s Academic and Career Plan (ACP), students complete several tasks within the online Career Cruising program. The Matchmaker and My Plan sections of Career Cruising help students identify their areas of strength and interest, potentially indicating suitable career pathways. The Career Clusters are provided below to help with discussions about possible post-secondary options.

13 Advanced Placement Courses The Advanced Placement (AP) Program offers college level courses and examinations to high school students. Students successfully completing an Advanced Placement course are strongly encouraged to take the Advanced Placement test offered in the spring. Students obtaining a passing grade on an Advanced Placement examination may earn college credit. Many states, national, and international schools award college credit based on the results of these tests. Students may take Advanced Placement tests with or without participating in an AP course; however, students are strongly advised to consult with a content teacher and their school counselor prior to this to be adequately prepared. The following Advanced Placement (AP) high school courses are offered: 1. AP Human Geography 2. AP United States History 3. AP Psychology 4. AP English Language & Composition 5. AP English Literature & Composition Honors Courses Honors classes often offer the same curriculum as regular classes but are tailored for high-achieving students covering additional topics or some topics in greater depth. The following honors high school courses are offered: 1. Honors English Honors Biology Special Programs and Courses The following programs and courses are offered: 1. NAF Health Science 2. NAF Finance 3. NAF Hospitality & Tourism Alternative Programs Credit Recovery Honors Chemistry 4. Honors Geometry 4. ProStart (Culinary Arts) 5. Emergency Medical Technician Training A program that offers students an opportunity to recover credits in the four core subjects (English Math, Social Studies and Science) using district approved online software. Students who complete courses in this fashion will receive grades for courses they previously failed. Credit Recovery may be offered during the day or after school. Contact your high school for more information. Alternative Program Certain high schools offer alternative programs for students that are defined as at risk according to the Department of Public Instruction. Students who do not qualify for GEDO2 may be eligible for this opportunity. The goal of these programs is to develop pathways for students to graduate as long as they meet proficiency based on course standards. Please contact Will Luedtke, Credit Recovery Coordinator, at luedtkwj@ milwaukee.k12.wi.us or (414) for more information.

14 GED02 A program approved by the Department of Public Instruction that allows students who are 18 or in their fourth year of high school to graduate with their ninth-grade peers. A reading test is required to determine if students meet program eligibility. An intake meeting is necessary to review program expectations and to understand what is required to complete the program. Students who meet all GEDO2 requirements graduate with a high school diploma. GEDO2 may be offered during the day or after school. Contact your high school for more information. Elective Courses Electives are courses that may or may not fulfill four-year college entrance requirements. It is important that you contact the college or university you plan to attend to make sure that the elective course counts for that particular college or university s requirements. Elective courses will be run provided there are sufficient numbers. Career/Technical Education Postsecondary Programs A wide variety of career and technical education (CTE) courses are offered to prepare students for college and careers. These courses are offered in an array of career clusters and pathways, including: Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources; Architecture and Construction; Audio and Video Technology and Film; Business Management and Administration; Finance; Health Science; Hospitality and Tourism; Early Childhood Development and Services; Information Technology - Programming and Software Development and Web and Digital Communications; Manufacturing; Marketing; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM); Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics. Students participating in these high school courses will receive the education and training to make them productive employees at the entry level of their interest area, or continue their education in the technical college system, a four-year college or university, an apprenticeship or the military. Students in CTE programs of study can take advantage of numerous work-based learning opportunities in collaboration with business and community partners. These experiences include: industry guest speakers; industry site-visits; job shadows; resume preparation; mock interviews; career fairs; paid internships and Youth Apprenticeship. Completion of the recommended high school sequence of courses can also have the advantage of allowing the student to take advanced training/courses at Milwaukee Area Technical College. The advantage of this type of advanced placement is that a student is not required to repeat training already received in the high school program. This can shorten the time and expense required to complete a technical school course sequence or allow the student to participate in additional training, making the student a more valuable employee upon completion of technical school training. Project Lead The Way Project Lead the Way (PLTW) courses prepare students to be the most innovative and productive leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and to make meaningful, pioneering contributions to our world. PLTW partners with high schools to provide a rigorous, relevant STEM education. Through an engaging, hands-on technology rich curriculum, PLTW encourages the development of problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creative and innovative reasoning, and a love of learning. The PLTW high school STEM education programs give students a brighter future by providing them with a foundation and proven path to college and career success in STEM-related fields. STEM education is at the heart of today s high-tech, high-skill global economy. For America to remain economically competitive, our next generation of leaders must develop the critical-reasoning and problemsolving skills that will help make them the most productive in the world. PLTW sparks the ingenuity, creativity, and innovation within all our students. Students who take the Project Lead the Way courses interact with area business partners related to STEM education and may be eligible for college and university engineering credits upon successful completion of PLTW end of course assessments. 12

15 and Enrollment Information Class Drop/Add The decision to take a course is an important one. Students should seriously consider their educational and career plan and develop a program of study to work toward those plans. Parent involvement in student course selection is highly encouraged. It is imperative that all students and parents consider course requests. Student course requests determine what courses and how many sections of each will be offered the following year. The high school drop procedure is listed: 1. Student and/or parent-initiated schedule changes will be permitted only during the following time periods: During the first five days of the new semester, the Guidance Department will attempt to quickly resolve student requests that reflect the following: A scheduling error resulting in an incomplete or inaccurate program (example: no lunch, etc.). Changes warranted by summer school makeup or E2020. Out of district transcript. Only requests that reflect these circumstances will be processed after the start of the new semester. 2. In order to process a change, students must: Submit a Schedule Change Request Form to the School Counseling Department. Bring a note from a parent/and or guardian, to be verbally confirmed by their counselor, authorizing the schedule change. Choose a substitute course, if one is available, for each dropped course. 3. Final approval of changes is contingent upon the following: The proposed change does not jeopardize graduation. The proposed change does not negatively affect prospects of college admission. The change requested is logistically possible. The change does not prevent student from obtaining final grade/credit. 4. Changes will not be permitted to: Change teachers. Change lunch periods (unless supported by medical documentation). Change to more convenient and/or desirable periods. Group friends together in the same class. 5. Changes in a student s placement based on academic concerns that are recommended by administrators, teachers, and/or counselors may occur throughout the school year pending departmental approval. 6. No student should be dropped or withdrawn prior to semester end until all grade marks have been entered. Late Enrollee Grades provided by the previous course or school may be considered for the final grade. If a student comes in from a different school with a report card, those grades will be added to the new quarter to receive a final grade. Physical Education Waiver On July 30, 2013, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors passed revisions to Administrative Policies 7.34 and 7.37 which allow a student to waive their third semester of physical education based on participation in an organized sport or athletic program pursuant to State Statute (1)(e). Students who successfully use the waiver MUST take an additional course from the following list of subjects: English, social studies, mathematics, science or health. The waiver allows students who have full schedules in their junior or senior years to take an additional academic class. In fact, state statute requires students who take the PE waiver to take an additional academic class in English, social studies, mathematics, science, or health. To take advantage of the waiver, students must demonstrate participation in regular physical activity through a log and they must pass the lifetime sports final exam. 13

16 The waiver process is described in the MPS PE Waiver Guidance and follows three specific steps: 1. Students will fill out the MPS PE Waiver Application: Students must request the waiver and choose the physical activity that they are going to participate in. The physical activity will be approved by the high school PE department chair/physical education teacher. The coach or some other adult with a specified role, such as fitness coach, must also agree to sign off on the activity logs before the waiver begins. 2. Once approved, students start and log their activity on the MPS PE Waiver Log. Students must complete a minimum of 50 hours over a minimum of six weeks. Each week, the coach must sign off on the student s participation. 3. After completion of the required hours of participation, the student will take the Lifetime Sports Exam. Once students have completed the log and pass the Lifetime Sports Exam, the school counselor will complete the MPS PE Waiver Completion Verification form and enter the information into Infinite Campus. Milwaukee Public Schools is dedicated to the development of the whole child. The waiver becomes a viable option for students who need additional core academic courses. The waiver option allows students to take the core academic course without sacrificing the most important lessons of the final Lifetime Sports course; how regular physical activity is something you do for a lifetime. We have provided a letter for parents explaining the waiver (MPS PE Waiver Parent Letter). If you have any questions, please contact Brett Fuller, Curriculum Specialist for Health, Physical Education, Safe and Supportive Schools at fullerba@milwaukee.k12.wi.us or (414) Accommodating Varying Student Needs, Interests and Abilities To accommodate students with different needs and different rates of learning, the school district provides a variety of course levels in addition to the regular courses in some selected basic skill areas such as Reading, English Language Arts, and Mathematics. These levels can be described as follows: Special Education Courses are adapted for students who have identified disability conditions and special education needs that require an Individual Educational Plan. Intervention Courses provide reading, writing and mathematics skill development. Students are placed in this course based on academic performance levels. Honors Courses are geared to those students whose skill level is such that they can benefit from a broader or more intensive and in-depth study. Weighted Courses are approved for weighted grade status. The Board approved weighted courses for students beginning with the graduating class of Educators in Milwaukee Public Schools value academic rigor because it increases student achievement, encourages students to stretch to their potential, and contributes to effective transitioning to post-secondary institutions. The District also recognizes that adding a minor weight to a grade can appropriately motivate more students to pursue academic rigor, which is aimed at their long-term success. All Advanced Placement (AP) International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) and selected Project Lead the Way (PLTW) courses will be weighted using the following scale: Letter Grade A B C D U Grade point for AP/IB DP and selected PLTW courses Regular high school courses Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) Courses prepare students for exams that can result in college credits. AP and IBDP courses give students access to rigorous college-level work. These courses help students build confidence and learn the essential time management and study skills needed for college and career success. Youth Options Program Wisconsin s Youth Options program allows public high school juniors and seniors 14

17 who meet certain requirements to take post-secondary courses at a UW Institution, a Wisconsin Technical College or one of the state s participating private nonprofit institutions of higher education. Approved courses can count toward high school graduation as well as for college credit. See your school counselor for further information. Transcripted Credits Transcripted credit is an opportunity for students to earn technical college credit in high school. A high school student can receive credit at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) if they are sixteen years or older and earn an A or B in their high school articulated (transcripted) course(s). Articulated credit and coursework will be recorded on an official MATC transcript. Talk to your school counselor for detailed information. Earning technical college credit for competencies achieved in high school can help students avoid duplicating coursework in technical college and may lead to early graduation. Enrolling in a transcripted credit course requires a commitment to completing technical college level coursework. Articulated Transcripted Credit MPS Courses Advanced Standing MPS Programs Grade Changes ] Accounting 1 ] Accounting 2 ] Software Applications ] Entrepreneurship Concepts ] Human Physiology & Anatomy ] Image Technology Workshop ] Keyboarding ] Multimedia 12 ] Principles of Marketing ] Web Design 1 ] Web Design 2 ] Auto Program ] Project Lead the Way Program Each school shall establish a procedure on grade changes within the following guidelines: No grade may be changed by anyone other than the teacher who issued the grade, except under extraordinary circumstances. Any transcript changes should be made through the school in which the original grade was issued. Course Retakes Students may repeat high school courses that they have failed. The student should see the school counselor to arrange for course retakes. Many courses can now be retaken online. This a great way for students to retake courses, recover credits, improve their grade point average and graduate on time. If, upon repeating a course, a student receives a higher grade, the higher grade will be used for the cumulative grade-point average (GPA) in place of the failing grade. The record of the failed course will continue to be a part of the student s permanent transcript, but the failing grade will no longer factor into the cumulative GPA. NCAA Student Athlete Eligibility Requirements Student athletes planning to play sports at a Division I or II institution of higher education out of high school must meet academic eligibility requirements as defined by the NCAA. Student athletes can monitor this eligibility by registering with the NCAA Clearinghouse at the beginning of their junior year of high school. More information about the Clearinghouse can be found at and You may also call the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Center toll free at High school transcripts must also be sent from the student s high school. Student athletes and their families are encouraged to work closely with the Clearinghouse and their school counselor during this process. It is the parent/student responsibility to ensure that the courses taken in high school meet NCAA requirements for the chosen college/university. 15
