Senior Presentations September 27th (early bird) - Juniors who completed their requirements last fall or over the summer. December 15 (semester 1) March 20 - Final Presentation All Seniors MUST present by March 20th (ready or not/done or not) in order to be able to continue working with their staff advisor and/or guidance office until they're successful. Seniors that DO NOT present by March 20th WILL NOT have another opportunity to present thus will not be passing a portion or all of their requirements which can result in not graduating this year. Essential Skills Requirement for Graduation begins with the Class of 2012 When you receive your class schedule in the fall you may notice there are some math classes and/or reading classes you hadn't signed up for. This is to enable you to pass the required OAKS testing. Beginning this upcoming school year students must demonstrate proficiency in three areas, they are reading, writing and math. A student first demonstrate proficiency by passing the OAKS test (Oregon Assessment of Knowledge & Skills). For those students not fully prepared to meet these standards new classes have been developed as well as restructuring existing ones to enable student success. Strategic Reading & Global Studies will be offered to bring 9th & 10th grade students up to grade level reading & writing. Student who did not pass their 8th grade OAKS testing and continued to exhibit difficulties at high school will be placed in these classes to enable their success. All students will be enroled in either Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II or Integrated Math Topics: The math department will be working through the summer to restructure their math classes so that essential skills will be taught, retaught and then remediated for those struggling. Students that excell will have the opportunity to go deeper into concepts and increase their higher math skills. The math department will be happy to answer questions in the fall. (Pre-Calculus or AP Calculus are still available just not a state requirement unless meeting the 3rd year requirement). ________________________________________________________________________ RESOURCES Oregon Career Information System http://oregoncis.uoregon.edu/home/ Oregon Dept of Ed.
