PATHWAY TO TOMORROW

“Meaningful and Purposeful”

Pathways to Graduation: New NYSED Regulations

Students are required to pass five Regents examinations in high school in order to graduate – one each in English, science, math, as well as the U.S History and the Global Studies and Geography examinations. The 2014-15 approved changes include a “4+1” option that permits a student to take four Regents examinations and a comparably rigorous technical, arts, or other assessment for the fifth examination required for graduation. The 4+1 option would apply beginning with students who first entered ninth grade in or after September 2011 and thereafter or who are otherwise eligible to receive a high school diploma in June 2015 and thereafter and have passed four required Regents exams (or Department-approved alternative assessments) in English, mathematics, science and social studies.The regulations create graduation pathways in the Humanities, STEM, Biliteracy, CTE, and the Arts; students pursuing any of these pathways must pass one of the following assessments in place of the fifth assessment currently required for graduation:

One additional social studies Regents exam or Department-approved alternative (Humanities Pathway) One additional Regents exam in a different course in mathematics or science or a Department-approved alternative

(STEM Pathway) A pathway assessment in a Language Other Than English (LOTE) (which could include a Biliteracy Pathway) A career and technical education pathway assessment, following successful completion of an approved CTE

program (CTE Pathway) An arts pathway assessment (Arts Pathway)

A CTE assessment that meets the approved alternative requirements for Science can be substituted for the required Science Regents exam.

NYS CDOS Commencement Credential: Requirements

Frequently Asked Questions for 8th Grade Students

Question: Do I need a world (foreign) language to graduate from high school? When should I take a world language?Answer: Yes, you need one credit world language to graduate form high school. However, if you wish to attend a 4-year university you need at least two consecutive years of the same language. Some colleges may require more. We generally recommend most students begin world language study in 9th grade. However, you may take Check Point A test at the end of the 8th grade and may earn Spanish credit if you pass the test. Remember, taking a world language as an elective is adding another class that requires considerable studying.

Question: Can I be a Peer Leader?Answer: No, peer leader positions are reserved for upperclassmen.

Question: What is jab shadowing? Can I do one in 9th grade? Answer: Job Shadowing is an academically motivating educational activity dedicated to giving kids an up-close look at the world of work. Job Shadowing gives over one million students across America the opportunity to “shadow” a workplace mentor as he or she goes through a normal day on the job. This gives young people a chance to see how the skills learned in school relate to the workplace. Yes you may do it in 9th grade but we recommend our students during 10th or 11th grades.

Question: Can I have a late arrival or early release?Answer: No, only seniors in good standing for graduation are allowed to have either a late arrival or early release.

Question: When will we get Math recommendations?Answer: Math recommendations are made before registration. Talk with your own current math teacher if you have questions.

Question: Can a student sign up for an AP class?Answer: No. Students are selected for AP classes based on Regents and PSAT test scores and teacher recommendation.

Question: How do I sign up a student who is on an IEP?Answer: Students who are on an IEP should fill out a registration form. The case managers will review the registration form and make the final determination on classes to ensure their IEP goals are met.

Frequently Asked Questions for Freshman StudentsQuestion: Do I need a world (foreign) language to graduate from high school?

Question: My transcript says that I took Earth Science at another school. How do I get this schools credit for taking it?Answer: Each transfer student’s records are evaluated individually. Check with your counselor to verify that your classes at your old school are going in the correct required classes at RACS.

Question: If I failed my first year of English and will pass the all others, do I have to repeat the first year again?Answer: No, Students are generally scheduled for the following year of English, which in your case would be English 10. If a course is failed, a student could be signed up to retake the failed course, placed in Apex English class which is an online class that you have to pay or signed up for summer school. You need four years of English to graduate.

Question: Can I be a Peer Leader? Answer: If you have passed all your classes in your freshman year, special permission can be granted if the teacher talks with your counselor.

Question: How does Dual Enrollment Program works? What are the requirements?Answer: Dual Enrollment Program is a program where you take college classes at RACS from partnered colleges like MCC, GCC or SUNY ESF during your junior and senior years and receive both high school and college credit. You must pass your Regents test and have teacher recommendation to qualify for the program.

Question: When will we get Math recommendations?Answer: Math recommendations are made before registration. Talk with your own current math teacher if you have questions.

Question: Can a student sign up for an AP class?Answer: No. Students are selected for AP classes based on test scores and teacher recommendation.

Question: How do I sign up a student who is on an IEP?Answer: Students who are on an IEP should fill out the registration form. The case managers will review the registration form and make the final determination on classes to ensure their IEP goals are met.

Question: When should I start filling out my applications? Answer: Early summer before senior year is the ideal time to start the application process. Most online applications become available in July for entering freshmen. Start filling out the applications during the summer and hit the "SAVE" button. The more you do prior to senior year, the less stressful this entire process will be. Starting your Activities Resume and Essay(s) over the summer months is also HIGHLY recommended!!

Question: Should I apply on-line or on paper?Answer: Most colleges offer online applications. If online applications are available, then proceed electronically.

Question: What is the Common Application?Answer: The common application is an application that is accepted by over 350 colleges. You only have to complete one application and download the forms once no matter how many colleges you are applying to. Keep in mind that most colleges will require supplemental information as well. www.commonapp.org

Question: What are supplemental?Answer: When you apply on a generic application such as SUNY or Common App, many schools require additional information. This information is call supplemental information, which pertains directly to a particular college. An example of a supplement may be to write a short essay stating why you desire to attend their college, ask for declaration of major, and/or document legacy.

Question: Should I use the Common Application for my first choice school or their own application?Answer: As members of the Common Application, these colleges make a commitment that they will view the common app as if they were their own. Many colleges have decided to become 'Common App Exclusive', which means the only way to apply to that particular school is on the common app.

Question: What should my college essay be about? Answer: Your college essay is the only place in the entire application where you have a voice. Make sure you answer the question in your own voice. Brainstorm ideas before writing your first draft. Well written essays often require many drafts as they continue to evolve. Choose a topic that expresses your interests or defines a significant experience in your life. Always remember that the person reading your essay is also reading thousands of others...so make it as interesting and captivating as possible. And, most importantly, have someone proofread it!

Question: What should my Activities Resume include?Answer: Your activities resume should include everything you've done outside the classroom. This includes clubs, sports, community service, academic and talent awards, and work experience. Colleges prefer quality over quantity. Commitment to a few activities supersedes joining random clubs here and there.

Question: Which teachers are best for writing my college recommendation letters?

Answer: Teacher recommendation letters are a crucial part of your application. You must select teachers that will represent you in the best possible manner. These letters will describe you as a student, including your work ethic and academic growth during that particular school year. It is not advisable to choose a freshman teacher since you are not the same person three years later. Also, senior year teachers may not have a complete picture of who you are in the early fall. Focus on your junior year teachers that have observed your academic and social growth. Most colleges prefer to see one humanities teacher (ENG or SS) and one analytical teacher (MATH or SCI) to understand you as a complete student.

Question: When should I ask my teacher if they would write a letter of recommendation for me? Answer: I suggest that you ask your teacher towards the end of junior year. Many teachers have numerous requests, and may even cut off at a certain number. The sooner you ask, the more likely the teachers will be able to accommodate your request. Writing these letters is not part of their teaching responsibilities, so please follow up with a nice thank you note!

Question: How many colleges should I apply to? Answer: The numbers of colleges that you apply to depend on how much research you’ve done. If you have done your research well, the number may range between 5 - 10 colleges. The most important factor is that the group of colleges includes one sure-bet safety school, then mostly target schools, and lastly a few reaches.

Question: When should I start visiting colleges?Answer: College visits are the most important part of this process. Try to start visiting colleges in junior year. If visiting colleges is difficult, then visit local colleges to get a sense of the different types of campuses. My suggestions are RIT or Univ. of Rochester - for the city school; SUNY Brockport or Nazareth College - for the suburban college; and SUNY Geneseo or Utica College for the rural college. Visiting these schools will give you a sense of which type of colleges to focus on during your college search.

Keep a pros and cons college journal for your visits and enter your impressions immediately after visit. This journal will help guide you long after the visit is over, and it will help you keep track of what different schools offer.

DO NOT COMMITT TO ATTENDING A COLLEGE WITHOUT FIRST HAVING VISITED!!! You will be spending four years at college; it is imperative that you see the facilities firsthand.
