Welcome to the Academic Planning Guide

Descriptions for 2023-2024

This guide is intended to help you plan effectively for the next school year.

 

Please prepare your schedule of course selections carefully. Schedules are determined and staffed based on information provided during the Spring course selection process.

 

It is important that you and your parents carefully review this Academic Planning Guide and make informed decisions based on your long-range high school goals. Counselors are available to help you with this planning process.

 

 After course selection is complete, course selections cannot be changed.

PLEASE READ - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Important Information Regarding School Year 2023-2024 Scheduling

This Academic Planning Guide was updated during the Spring of 2023. At the time of writing, the budget situation for the District and school funding in general remained unclear. In addition, student course selection was not complete.

Some classes and programs may be added or removed at a later date and information will be made available to parents and students through e-mail and the school’s website.

Instructional Policies and Information

Grading System and Policies

Class Withdrawal

After the first five class meetings, students may no longer add or drop classes without completing the process for withdrawing from a class. All classes dropped after the second week of the semester will appear on a student’s transcript. Students will receive a “W” (withdrawal) on their transcript for that class. If students withdraw from a class after the initial two week period they will need to meet with their administrator in order to discuss the withdrawal.  A student will not be allowed to withdraw from a class in the last month of a semester unless there are extenuating circumstances. Please see your counselor for information regarding the withdrawal process.

Courses Outside of Tualatin High School

Students may earn up to five (5) high school credits from outside the high school setting. Only credits from accredited programs will be transcribed. Please see your counselor to pick up the Application for Additional High School Credit prior to taking any outside course for credit. You are responsible for completion of the course and for sending a transcript of the class and grade to the Counseling Office staff by May 20th of senior year to ensure the credit will be posted in time to clear you for graduation. Remember this is an outside credit opportunity that is not the responsibility of the Tigard-Tualatin School District Staff. Check with your counselor about community college courses and the credits that will transfer. Courses taken at a treatment center are usually counted towards health or elective credit and will be transcribed as follows:  65-70 hours = .5 credit at TuHS 130 hours = 1.0 credit at TuHS

 

Credit Recovery

Students who fail a class in social studies, science, language arts, or health will not be placed back in the class to recover the credit. Credit recovery is available through a variety of options. Please see your counselor for more information. 

Grade Appeals

Students may appeal a grade or credit decision given for high school courses. Grade appeals must be submitted to the Associate Principal of the department within 20 days of the end of the term in which the grade was received. 

 Please contact an Associate Principal for additional information.

  

Homework Requests

When a student is absent more than 2 days, please check Canvas or contact teachers directly through email for missed assignments.

Incomplete Grades

Teachers may initiate an incomplete contract with a student for extenuating circumstances (e.g., prolonged

illness, injury or family emergency). Incomplete contracts are not to be used to provide students with additional time to complete missing homework, tests and/or quizzes due to poor attendance or lack of effort prior to the grading period. The teacher will post a final grade on the transcript at the end of the semester. If the contract is satisfactorily completed, the teacher will calculate a new grade and change the final grade on the transcript. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to an Associate Principal. 

“Pass/No Grade” Grading

All courses are graded “A – NG” unless otherwise stated. Courses needed for graduation requirements, or those that are a prerequisite for a future course, may not be graded on a “pass/fail” basis. Juniors and seniors may take one pass/fail course by application and approval per grading period. This will not include courses that are only graded on a pass/NGbasis (i.e., teacher assistant). A “P” or “NG” is not calculated into the student’s cumulative GPA. Arrangements for “pass/NG” must be made with the counselor and teacher before the end of the first 9 weeks each semester. Special requirements and restrictions apply.

 

Repeating and Transcribing Courses

All courses that students complete will be recorded on their transcript. Course(s) may not be repeated at TuHS for a higher grade; however, as classroom space is available or teachers are recommending, students may retake math and world language to improve skill level and achieve mastery before moving on to the next level. Requests to repeat courses in math and world language will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and will be approved only upon recommendation of the teacher and if class sizes permit enrollment in the course.

If a student does repeat a course, both grades will be recorded on the transcript, and the first grade will be transcribed as an elective credit. Courses eligible to be repeated include all in-district academic programs and accredited private, alternative, charter and public-school programs. Students must complete an application for outside credit prior to enrolling in a course outside Tualatin High School in order for the grade and credit to appear on their transcript. Students need to arrange all outside credits through their counselor.

 

Schedule Changes

TuHS counselors work hard to give students the electives they requested during Spring course selection. If a scheduling error (e.g., wrong level of math or language, duplicate course, level 2 class first semester and level 1 class second semester) is made, counselors should be notified during the first week of the semester so corrections can be made. Staffing and offering of electives are based on requests made during Spring forecasting; therefore, students are expected to accept and complete the courses they have requested. Careful forecasting by students helps to maintain balanced class sizes and equal opportunities for all students. 

Teacher Changes

Tualatin High School has an extremely talented and dedicated staff; therefore, it is our policy to discourage teacher changes. During the semester, if a conflict arises, please schedule an appointment with the teacher to resolve the issue. If further action is needed, please contact your counselor.

Grade and Report Card Facts

Teachers currently use a program called Synergy to record student attendance and end of quarter academic performance. Teachers use Canvas for assignment submissions and during the term grading. Parents can view student progress in individual classes on Canvas. Parents and students can use a Synergy feature called ParentVUE/StudentVUE to monitor grades and progress towards graduation (as well as other areas of information.) If you need assistance activating your Synergy or Canvas account, please contact the TuHS main office.

Progress Reports are available at the end of quarter 1 and 2 and Report Cards are available at the end of semester 1 and 2. Semester grades are transcribed and become a permanent record of student performance. A grade of “D” or higher earns credit towards graduation for classes taken. If a class is retaken, both previous grades will remain on the transcript. Parents and students can request official and unofficial transcripts through the counseling center.

 International Baccalaureate Program

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program is a rigorous course of study that meets the needs of the highly-motivated secondary school student who plans to attend a four-year college or university following graduation. The IB Diploma is recognized by universities in more than 100 nations worldwide, including over 1,600 higher learning institutions in North America. Many universities give entering IB diploma students college credit equivalent and/or advanced standing/placement. These policies and other admissions benefits vary according to each college or university. For additional information on college credits, please visit the IB web site: (www.ibo.org) - choose the school you’re interested in. You may also be able to find policies regarding admission of IB diploma students through respective university admissions websites. 

Classes that prepare students for IB exams are denoted in their course titles with the following notation:

*International Baccalaureate*

Some colleges accept IB exam scores in exchange for credits and/or advanced placement. For more detailed information on Tualatin High School’s IB program, please visit our program website: http://tuhsibprogram.weebly.com/ 

 

The IB curriculum is noted for its depth and international perspective. Originally created in 1968 as a program that would allow its graduates to fulfill the requirements of various national systems of education, the IB is based on the pattern of no single country. The intent is that students learn how to learn, how to analyze, how to reach conclusions about languages and literature, people and their societies, and the scientific forces of the environment. Designed as a coherent and comprehensive curriculum spanning six areas of learning (literature, languages, social studies, sciences, mathematics and the arts), the IB Diploma Program is a two-year course of study for 11th and 12th graders, culminating in examinations (which are administered in May) in these areas of study. Beyond completing college-level courses and exams, Diploma candidates are also required to design and complete a two-year Creativity, Activity and Service Plan, research and write an extended essay (3,000-4,000 words), and conduct an inquiry into the nature of knowledge (the Theory of Knowledge essay and exhibition).

IB at Tualatin High School

At TuHS, an application to the IB Diploma Program is made during the spring of a student’s sophomore year. The program is open admission. However, students should be aware that prerequisites exist for many IB courses. Details are provided in the course description. Students interested in IB should plan to take advanced courses beginning in their freshman year. The following paths are recommended but not required for students considering IB:

In addition, there are IB exam registration fees to be paid by students and their families. 

Exam fees are due by the end of October.

A final note: IB classes are open enrollment and all students are encouraged to take these academically rigorous courses. In some cases, to meet the needs of full diploma students, class size may be restricted.
