Dear Parents and Learners, The Coppell High School Course Planning Guide has been designed to provide our learners and parents with helpful information regarding the courses offered at CHS. Becoming familiar with the course guide will be extremely important in order to make appropriate course selections for your learner as you plan for the 2014-2015 school year. The CHS Guidance and Counseling Department has an understanding of your learner’s abilities and interests and will offer suggestions and advice based on those abilities. Although teachers can be valuable resources concerning courses and their recommendations, it is extremely important that your learner make individual choices for his/her schedule. These are very important decisions in which learners must have input, as schedule changes will be minimal. I encourage you to review the courses on the following pages with your learner. CHS desires to offer every course described in the course guide; however, staffing, class load, and funding will determine course availability. After June 4, course request changes will be made only for extenuating circumstances. Changes made after the opening of the school year will be made for equalizing teacher’s loads, for administrative purposes, or for correcting errors and in accordance with the Schedule Change Process in the Course Planning Guide. Please make selections carefully. It is our desire that your learner have appropriate opportunities to select courses and make the best possible choices that are offered in Coppell High School’s curriculum. If you have any questions regarding particular courses and/or the course selection process, graduation requirements, or scheduling, please call your learner’s counselor. We look forward to working with you and your learner in preparing for a successful upcoming school year. Sincerely,
Mike Jasso Mike Jasso, Principal Coppell High School

SCHEDULE CHANGE POLICY Coppell High School is pleased to be able to offer a wide variety of programs and courses for our learners. Selections during registration indicate how many teachers and sections will be needed for a course. Master schedules are developed in the spring prior to the upcoming year. The process allows administrators to plan and to hire for optimum academic strength. When learners are permitted to randomly change schedules, teachers and classrooms are not effectively utilized. As a result, all learners are affected. Even the most effective planning is compromised. Very seldom does a single course change affect only one course. Careful selections benefit everyone. Thank you for being a crucial part of our educational team as we work together for academic excellence. Registration
Parent and learner informational meetings will be held during spring registration.
Learners will be guided through course selection during individual conferences to confirm course selection.
Learners who do not submit a Course Selection Worksheet will have a schedule arranged for them by their counselor according to their academic needs and/or graduation plan.
Change Dates
The last day of the 2013-2014 school year will officially end the opportunity for Course Request changes.
No Elective Course changes will be made after the last day of the 2013-2014 school year.
A learner who does not submit course selections electronically online at https://hac.coppellisd.com and does not submit a course selection worksheet by the last day of the 2013-2014 school year will not be eligible for a schedule change.
Guidelines for changes
During schedule pick up and through the first week of school, only the schedule changes listed in this section will be considered. No elective changes will be made. Learners must complete and submit CHS Schedule Change Request Form.
Missing a class period Need a course required for graduation (SENIORS only)
Prerequisite for course not met Course requested for DAP is not on schedule-(SENIORS only)
Need to retake a failed course Add/Drop UIL Activity Northlake classes do not match CHS schedule Add Office Aide/Teacher Aide Add Junior Release, Senior Release, AP Release Course already successfully completed and credit earned (i.e. summer school, CBE, correspondence.)
At the end of the first six weeks of school, only requests to level down will be considered if space is available in the new class. No elective changes will be made. Learners must complete and submit CHS Level Change Form. The grade earned in the current class will be the grade the learner begins with in the new class. Requests for same level moves will not be taken, such as a move from PAP to GT/PAP or a move from IB to AP.
At the end of the first semester, only requests to level down will be considered if space is available in the new class. No elective changes will be made. Learners must complete and submit CHS Level Change Form. The grade earned in the current class will be the grade the learner begins with in the new class. Requests for same level moves will not be taken, such as a move from PAP to GT/PAP or a move from IB to AP.
For a one semester course that begins second semester, a level down request will be considered at the end of the fourth six weeks if space is available in the new class. No elective changes will be made. Students must complete and submit CHS Level Change Form. The grade earned in the current class will be the grade the student begins with in the new class. Requests for same level moves will not be taken, such as a move from PAP to GT/PAP or a move from IB to AP.

DETERMINING CREDIT FOR COURSES
To receive credit for a one-semester course, a learner must pass the semester with a score of 70 or higher. Each semester grade stands alone for GPA purposes and will be posted on the official transcript with the appropriate credit awarded. To receive credit for a two-semester course, a learner must pass each semester with a score of 70 or higher. OR Learners who fail either semester of a two-semester course can regain credit by average passing the course for the year.
Notes:
The second semester of the course must be taken at Coppell High School immediately following the first semester.
The failing grade will be posted on the official transcript and 0.5 credits will be awarded.
Dual Credit courses cannot be averaged to earn a full year credit. If a learner fails both semesters of a course, then both semesters must be repeated. All courses that a learner attempts will be posted on the official transcript. A learner must have a 90% attendance rate in school in order to receive credit for any course taken at Coppell High School regardless of the grade earned.
HOME ACCESS CENTER AND LEARNER GRADES
Parents and learners may view grades through the Home Access Center. This tool provides unofficial grading information. Learners’ official grades are reported at the end of each six weeks.

11th and 12th grade learners who want more flexibility in scheduling course load.
Transcript/GPA Guidelines
All distance learning and internet courses will count toward GPA. The grade will appear on the transcript with the credit
earned. The grade will not replace any existing grade. Credit earned will be at level 2 for these courses, except for Internet
courses taken for dual credit which will be at level 3.
Courses taken in summer school either for original credit or credit recovery will count toward GPA.
Courses taken during the school year for credit recovery will count toward GPA.
Distance Learning or Internet Course Enrollment Procedures Learners must register for courses online.
It is the learner’s responsibility to make sure they are enrolling in courses they need for graduation.
It is the learner’s responsibility to check their school’s website for dates and times to take exams.

CREDIT BY EXAMS (CBE) For Credit Recovery
To take a CBE for Credit Recovery a learner must have earned a semester grade of at least 60 in the course or scored a minimum of 60 on the semester exam.
Credit Recovery grade(s) will appear on the learner’s transcript with credit earned and will count toward the learner’s GPA.

For Original Credit
CBE for Original Credit is an opportunity for learners to earn credit for a course by demonstrating mastery of the course
objectives on an exam.
Credit is earned by the semester; thus, learners must take a separate exam for each semester of a two semester course.
In order to earn credit learners must score an 80 or above on the exam.
CBE grades will appear on the learner’s transcript with credit earned and will count toward the learner’s GPA.
CISD offers this testing each year. Applications are available online. Registration deadlines are strictly enforced. Learners may

(EOC) exam are required by state law to take the STAAR End-of-Course exam at the next state-determined test date following
the date the credit by exam results are received by the district. STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exam requirements must be met
in order to receive a high school diploma in Texas. STAAR End-of-Course exams include Algebra I, Biology, U.S. History,
English I and English II.

INTRODUCTION TO FOUNDATION GRADUATION PLAN & ENDORSEMENT PLANS
As a part of the House Bill 5 passed in the 83rd Legislature, new graduation requirements are mandated under the new Foundation High School Program for learners entering Grade 9 in the 2014-15 school year and thereafter. Learners entering Grade 9 in 2014-15 and thereafter will select one or more endorsements to meet graduation requirements by confirming and signing a personal graduation plan with the student and the student’s parent or guardian.
What does this mean for my learner? A learner entering Grade 9 in the 2014-2015 school year and thereafter shall enroll in the courses necessary to complete the curriculum
requirements for the Foundation High School Program with an endorsement plan along with the opportunity to complete the Distinguished Level of Achievement.
· Each learner selects (in writing) an Endorsement in the spring of 2014. · Learners in CISD are expected to follow the Distinguished Achievement Level · After the learner's sophomore year and only with written parent permission, a learner may decide to continue toward graduation
under the Foundation High School Program without earning an endorsement.
New 9th Grade Intro Courses Coppell High School wants to help learners select their cluster within their endorsement area by providing an introductory course for all 9th graders. Depending on the endorsement selected, the intro course will provide an overview of careers in the area of interest, helping with the transition to high school, and growing future ready skills including information literacy with iPads and other technology, professional communication with a variety of audiences, and personal advocacy at school and at home.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSES
AP COURSES
Research shows that learners who participate in AP courses are better prepared for the academic challenges of college. When evaluating applications, colleges and universities look at the rigor of courses a learner took versus what was offered at the high school and recognize AP courses as at the highest level. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are designed by College Board to reflect the knowledge and skills taught in college courses. Learners may demonstrate their knowledge and skills on AP Exams offered each May during a two week period. Learners may earn college credit based on qualifying scores on the exams. The criteria for earning credit vary by college. For more information, visit www.apcentral.collegeboard.com. Learners who chose to graduate with an AP Scholar Endorsement must enroll in and complete four AP courses and score a “3” or higher on three or more AP exams. CHS endorses an open enrollment policy for AP courses. There are no qualifying criteria or applications for learners to enroll as long as they have taken the stated pre-requisite courses. The Advanced Placement program enriches the secondary school experience of learners willing to apply themselves to college level studies and provides the means for colleges to grant credit or placement, or both, to learners who earn qualifying scores on AP exams.
AP courses offered at Coppell High School (based on enrollment) Include:
English English Language & Composition (English III) English Literature & Composition (English IV)
Mathematics Statistics Calculus AB Calculus BC Computer Science I
Science Biology Chemistry Environmental Science
Physics I Physics C
Social Studies
Human Geography World History European History

Learners have the opportunity to be recognized with a color cord at graduation for their achievement in Advanced Placement courses offered at CHS. This may be one of two ways:
1. Learners who enroll in and complete at least eight AP courses will be designated as Advanced Placement Achievement
Graduates.
2. Learners who enroll in and complete twelve or more AP courses will be designated Advanced Placement Achievement
Graduates with Honors.
In order to be recognized as an Advanced Placement Achievement Graduate or Advanced Placement Achievement Graduate with
Honors, learners will complete an application and submit it to the AP Campus Facilitator by March 31. Upon review, learners will be
notified of their status.
The College Board may bestow additional honors upon learners who achieve the following:
College Board AP Scholars score a 3 or higher on three or more AP exams.
College Board AP Scholars with Honors achieve an average of 3.25 on all AP exams taken and score 3 or higher on four or
more exams.
College Board AP Scholars with Distinction achieve an average of 3.5 on all AP exams taken and score 3 or higher on five
or more exams.
College Board National AP Scholars achieve an average of 4.0 on all AP exams taken and score 4 or higher on eight or more
exams.
PRE-AP COURSES
CHS designates some courses as Pre-AP courses. These courses are intentionally designed to provide learners the skills necessary to succeed in college level courses (such as AP courses or dual credit courses). The strategies in Pre-AP courses focus on critical reading, writing, and problem solving.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) DIPLOMA PROGRAM
This program is a distinction within the graduation requirements of Coppell High School. A graduate may complete this program while working towards meeting graduation requirements. As part of the program learners must complete the coursework associated with six IB subjects. In addition to the grades earned at CHS, upon completion of the courses, learners receive a score of 1-7 based on the quality of externally graded examinations and internally marked assessments. For either three or four of the courses learners must complete examinations at the higher level (HL). Learners are required to take the IB exams when they complete the courses and, like AP exams, there are associated fees. The total of all fees for the two year program will be roughly $900 for learners beginning the program in the fall of 2014. $300 is due at the time of registration for the junior year along with the course selection sheet. Additional payments are required in October of the junior year, during registration for senior year, and October of the senior year. Checks should be payable to CISD. These payments are refundable (minus costs incurred by the district) should the learner ultimately not complete the IB program. No IB course requests will be processed without proper payment. Accommodations based on financial needs can be worked out on an individual basis. All IB learners must complete the “core elements” of the diploma program in addition to the subject requirements. These include: Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) – activities completed over the two years outside the academic day, Extended Essay (EE) – 4,000 word original research paper on a topic of personal interest, mentored by faculty member, and Theory of Knowledge (ToK) course – one-semester course taken in the fall of senior year. All juniors must enroll in the online course IB Core Elements which will facilitate the appropriate completion of these tasks.
Courses Available – Choosing one path (row) from each of the six groups will satisfy the IB requirements as long as the learner has the ability to complete three or four HL examinations (see the far right column).
