Roseville High School Welcome to Roseville High School. I’d like to start of by asking you some questions. Please raise your hand if you are a graduate of Roseville High School. Thank you…please keep your hands up. Now, raise your hand and keep them up if someone in your family graduated from Roseville High School. Raise your hand if you currently have a student attending Roseville. Take a look around. You can put your hands down now. Roseville High School opened in 1912 and has served generations of families in the Roseville community over the past 106 years. Though most of our current teachers and staff were not here when the school opened, they still take pride in maintaining the rich traditions at RHS. And we look forward to another class joining us next school year – the class of 2022!

Agenda Learn more about Roseville High School Courses of study
How does RHS place students in core academic courses How to select classes for 9th grade Online enrollment Next steps During today’s presentation, our goal is to teach you more about Roseville high school, the courses we offer, how we place students in core academic classes, how to select courses for 9th grade, and how to complete the enrollment process. We will also talk about next steps, which include an event called Arena Registration, during which you and your students will come back to RHS to turn in your paperwork and meet with a counselor or administrator to review the courses you selected.

Academic Planning Guide
Your primary resource for selecting classes Minimum graduation requirements & UC/CSU a-g requirements (page 4) Sample 4-year plans/recommended courses of study to best prepare students for all post-high school education options (page 6) Complete course descriptions The academic planning guide is a resource that contains a list of all courses offered at RHS. And for each course, you will find a detailed description, whether it meets a college entrance requirement, and whether it has any prerequisites (meaning are there classes or other requirements a student needs to meet in order to take the course). You will find information about various programs offered at RHS, courses of study (which we will discuss shortly) samples of 4-year plans (which are examples of courses taken over your four years at RHS) and an overview of the Roseville High School graduation requirements and UC/CSU a-g requirements.

TOTAL FOR YEAR = 80 credits
Earning Credits at RHS FALL TERM August – December SPRING TERM January - May 1st Integrated Math 1 2nd CP English 9 3rd Art 1 4th Health and Safety 1st Spanish 1 2nd PE 9 3rd NGSS Biology 4th Introduction to Engineering 4 Courses = 40 Credits We are on what is called a block schedule at RHS. Each year, students will select and take 8 classes. They will take four of these classes in the fall term, from August through December. (Show example on slide). They will complete these courses in their entirety then take another four courses during the spring term, from January through May (show examples of courses on slide). The 8 classes students select will be distributed randomly between the two terms. We do our very best to balance core classes with electives that are less academically intense. Each class is worth 10 credits. Therefore, a student is able to obtain 80 credits per year – 8 classes at 10 credits each. Over the course of 4 years, a student can actually earn a total of 320 credits. However, to graduate, our district requires 260 credits, so you can see that there is flexibility just in case there is an unforeseen circumstance in which a student does not pass a class. Any questions on TOTAL FOR YEAR = 80 credits

Course Selection Sheet
Courses of Study Math, English and science course selections Electives Alternates Post high school plan 4-year plan The course selection sheet is the document that you will use to let us know which courses your student would like to take. As we go through the next several slides, we will show you how to complete each of these sections, which include core courses, electives, alternates, the post-high school plan, and the 4-year plan.

Courses of Study RHS mission statement
“Working together, we will prepare every student for post-secondary education.” Course of study/Pathway - A sequence of at least three progressively more challenging elective courses in a variety of student interest areas We encourage all freshman to select at least one course of study At RHS our mission statement is “Working together, we will prepare every student for post-secondary education.” We want freshmen students to begin thinking about a four year plan that will help them graduate, be college and career ready, be UC/CSU eligible, leave with a well-rounded experience in high school and provide some idea of what they might want to study in college. Our pathways help students get there. So what is a course of study? It’s a sequence of at least three progressively more challenging elective courses in a variety of student interest areas. Most of these courses fulfill the UC/CSU a-g requirements. We encourage all freshman to select at least one course of study.

Courses of Study Examples Course of Study FRESHMAN COURSE
FUTURE COURSES Advanced Placement Pre AP Geography & English 9 20 Different AP Courses! AVID AVID 9 AVID 10, 11, 12 Art Art 1 Art 2, 3, 4 & AP Studio Art Ceramics 1, 2 Digital Photo 1, 2, 3 Engineering Intro to Engineering Design Principles of Engineering Comp. Integrated Manufacturing Engineering Design & Devel. Culinary and Hospitality Culinary 1: Intro to Food and Beverage Culinary 2 Culinary 3 Culinary 4 Freshmen have room to start two of the courses of study in their freshman year. For example, you might choose to take AVID AND Art 1. The “future courses” show just some of the additional classes students can take in their sophomore, junior and senior year. For example, after AVID 9, a student can enroll in AVID 10, 11, and 12. After Art 1, a student can enroll in Art 2, 3, 4, and AP Studio Art. Our schedule allows students to take multiple course of study in their four years at RHS to get where they want to be. You can start a course of study and change to a new one. You can graduate with AP Courses, plus “The Arts,” plus a Career Technical Education program of study on your college application. Or, you can focus your time and energy on one area like AVID, Band, Computers, Dance, Science or Theatre.

CP English 9 / Geography & World Cultures
A Pre-AP course designed for students seeking a rigorous course of study designed to prepare them for a strong Advanced Placement program Builds critical thinking skills while developing the work habits and work ethic necessary for success in future AP courses Humanities based approach integrating English and cultural themes A year long rotating block We would like to highlight two pathways at this time because they differ a bit from the others. They are year long programs, and therefore the way in which you register for them is unique. The first is our Pre-AP English 9 and Geography and World Cultures course. This Pre-AP course is for students seeking a rigorous course of study designed to prepare them to take Advanced Placement courses in subsequent years. Builds critical thinking skills while developing the work habits and work ethic necessary for success in future AP courses and it uses a humanities based approach integrating English and cultural themes This pathway is actually two courses – so in addition to English 9, you must also sign up for Geography and World Cultures. We will show you what this looks like in a moment. This class is also a year long rotating block, which means that it takes up one period, but for the entire school year. Each day, a student will rotate between English and Geography. Monday = English, Tuesday = Geo, Wednesday = English, etc.
13
Check CP English 9 (Pre-AP English 9 & Geo/World Cultures)
Add Geography & World Cultures here Geo & World Cultures Here is how you would indicate your desire to take this course on your course selection sheet. First, you would select CP English 9 (Pre-AP English and Geography). Then, you would write in Geography and World Cultures as one of your electives.
14
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID)
A college-readiness system designed for students in the “academic middle” Desire support to develop college-readiness skills and prepare for four-year university admission Writing & reading skills are developed along with collaboration, organization, note-taking skills, time management, goal setting & team building AVID 9 is a year-long course. Please write it in twice as an elective. The second pathway we would like to mention is AVID. AVID is a college-readiness system designed for students in the “academic middle” who desire support to develop college-readiness skills and prepare for four-year university admission Writing & reading skills are developed along with collaboration, organization, note-taking skills, time management, goal setting & team building AVID 9 is a year-long elective course, so you will write it in twice as two of your elective choices.

Placement and Selection
Academic Course Placement and Selection
19
English Placement All students will take CP English 9 OR Pre-AP English 9 w/ Geography & World Cultures All freshmen are required to take English. A student can choose to take our standard CP English 9 OR our Pre-AP English 9 paired with Geography and World Cultures.
20
Science Placement All students will take NGSS Biology
All freshmen will take NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) biology, which is already listed for you on the course selection sheet.
21
Math Placement “D” or lower in Math 8 “C” or better in Math 8 OR
ACCESS to IM1 AND Integrated Math 1 “D” or lower in Math 8 “C” or better in Math 8 OR “D” or lower in IM1 Integrated Math 1 This is our math placement flowchart. We ask that YOU select a math class based on your student’s current math course and how well they are doing. For example, you should select IM2 if your student are currently in IM1 and getting a “C” or better. You should select IM1 if your student is enrolled in IM1 and getting a “D” or below OR you are enrolled in Math 8 and passing with a “C” or higher. You should select ACCESS to IM1 AND IM1 if you are enrolled in Math 8 and getting a “D” or lower. ACCESS to IM1 is essentially a remedial math course with content that is similar to Math 8. All “final” placements will be verified before the school year starts based on final grades in 8th grade math and teacher recommendations. If substantial remediation and support in math are needed based on the outcome of 8th grade math grades, RHS will place students accordingly in to a ACCESS to IM 1 AND Integrated Math 1. ACCESS will be taken in the fall, IM 1 in the spring. “C” or better in IM1 Integrated Math 2
22
Math Placement Integrated Math 1
Access to IM1 will be added if necessary or recommended by 8th grade math teacher All students will be assigned to Integrated Math 1 unless they pass IM1 in middle school with a “C” or higher. Counselors will make changes when we meet with you during arena registration on an as needed basis if a student is already enrolled in and passing IM 1. We will also add Access to IM1 if a student needs additional help and support in Integrated Math 1, which is determined by the criteria we discussed earlier Access to IM 1 Integrated Math 1

Choose 3 electives Be certain to select 4 alternates (electives)
What is your career interest and post high school education plan? When selecting courses, look for: prerequisites, grade level restrictions, and whether the course meets a-g requirements Be certain to select 4 alternates (electives) Leadership Band Beginning Guitar You will choose 3 electives (which could include courses like AVID and Geography and World Cultures as we discussed earlier) and write them in here. Next, you will want to write in 4 alternative elective choices, just in case one of your first choices is full, does not fit it with the other courses you chose, or ends up not being offered next year. Doing this ensures that we place your student in an elective of their choosing. If no alternates are listed, then we will have to pick classes for you in the event that one of your first choice electives will not work with your schedule. When picking your electives, please refer to your academic planning guide and look for prerequisites, grade level restrictions (for example, some classes are only available to juniors and seniors), and whether the class meets an a-g requirement. Think about your career interests and college as well! At the bottom right of your course selection sheet, you will want to write in your career interest (and if you don’t have one, write in a subject area or two that you are really passionate about). We would also like you to indicate what your post-high school education plan is. Do you plan to go to a 4-year university, a community college, a vocational school, or join the military? Answering these questions will help us guide you as in making decisions about which courses to take over the next 4 years at RHS. Choose 3 electives Band Peer Helping French 1 Culinary 1

Course Selection Sheet
IM 3 Pre-Calculus NGSS Physics Biomed. Science AP Physics AP Psychology Computer Science And speaking of the next 4 years, on the back of your course selection sheet you will see a blank 4-year plan. Each year – beginning this year – we ask that students do their best to map out their 4 years at Roseville High School, looking ahead at which classes (both electives and core courses) they plan to take to achieve their college and career goals. These do not have to be perfect. They are fluid and can change as often as needed. Let’s go through a quick example of how to complete a 4-year plan. Bobby plans to take the Pre-AP English 9 and Geography and world cultures class, so he first writes in Geo and World Cultures. His other two electives are Spanish 1 and media productions, as he intends to become a journalist after attending a 4-year college. And because he would like to attend a 4-year university, he decides that he needs to take math all 4 years, so Bobby writes in Integrated Math 3 and pre-calculus. He recognizes that it is also important to take science throughout his 4 year and writes in physics, biomedical science, and AP physics. Because he has an interest in Spanish, he decides to take Spanish 2, 3, and 4. For the remainder of his classes, he elects to take a few AP courses, as well as advanced media productions throughout high school, which is one of our courses of study. And that’s how it is done. Of course, there are limitless possibilities in terms of the courses students can select and yours will certainly look different than this example. Any questions?
