It is necessary to complete the District&#8217;s Course Acceleration Checklist and Course Acceleration Request, available from the K-12 Gifted Program Specialist. Consistent with school board rules and in accordance with state statute 1012.28 (5) F.S., the Superintendent has designated the principal of the school as the final authority in the placement of students in programs or classes.<\/p><p>Students in all grades are eligible for single course acceleration after demonstrating mastery of the current grade level course standards. When a student is accelerated, they are still responsible for mastering all standards in the current grade level courses and will be required to take all district and FAST Assessments at the grade level of the accelerated course. Integrated curriculum standards such as literacy and social studies may be missed through acceleration yet included on future assessments required for middle school promotion. In addition, math and science topics are presented only once rather than being repeated year after year. Therefore, the parent\/legal guardian should consider carefully the full academic and social ramifications of acceleration and confer with the school counselor to determine if single course acceleration is appropriate for the student based on the student\u2019s academic history, teacher recommendation, ability to work independently and the long-range academic, social, and emotional effect of acceleration. The Course Acceleration Request should be completed before November 1.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7751654 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7751654\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"06\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4f51220\" data-id=\"4f51220\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4270ebb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4270ebb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Examples of single course acceleration: <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb9c7af elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb9c7af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>\u00a0A fourth-grade student who earned a level 5 on the FAST in reading or math and demonstrates at least 80% mastery of the fourth-grade level course standards as identified by district assessments is eligible to request single course acceleration to a fifth-grade level course in reading or math.

The student who scores below the 45th percentile on the SAT 10 Reading Comprehension subtest will be considered for retention.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-367a07a6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"367a07a6\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"11\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3afec257\" data-id=\"3afec257\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-727748b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"727748b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">English Language Learners (ELLs) in Grades K-5 <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-192a1bc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"192a1bc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Promotion of an ELL student is based on satisfactory student performance in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies and other requirements as set by the district and the state.

The curriculum in all schools in St. Johns County is based on the ELA and Math B.E.S.T. Standards. These standards specify what students should know and be able to do. In a standards-based system, grades should be an indication of the level of mastery as determined by summative assessments.<\/p><p>Summative assessments are those assessments that are administered at the end of a learning sequence after ample practice or rehearsal of essential knowledge. Summative assessments indicate mastery of benchmarks and standards. Examples of summative assessments include:<\/p><ul><li>Chapter tests.<\/li><li>Reading selection tests quizzes (practice\/rehearsal has been provided prior to the quiz).<\/li><li>Performance assessments evaluated by a rubric shared with students prior to the assessment.<\/li><\/ul><p>Teachers also use formative assessments, which are frequent, in-progress checks for understanding, on a regular basis. Formative assessments are used to inform instruction, to provide ongoing and helpful feedback, to alert teachers to what challenges students are still facing, and to inform students about where they are in relation to mastery of the standard. Examples of formative assessments include:<\/p><ul><li>Exercises as a direct follow-up to instruction.<\/li><li>Quizzes to spot check for understanding.<\/li><li>Observing students at work and noting progress or need for re-teaching.<\/li><li>Students and teachers communicate about a topic by talking or writing (teachers informally assess what students know and are able to do and determine next steps for instruction).<\/li><\/ul><p>Grades should be clear, undiluted indicators of what students know and are able to do at the conclusion of the learning sequence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-358 page type-page status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/spp\/elem\/report-cards\/\">\n\t\t\t\tElementary Report Cards\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__content\"><style><\/style>\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"wp-page\" data-elementor-id=\"358\" class=\"elementor elementor-358\" data-elementor-post-type=\"page\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4467174 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4467174\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"00\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-466d6b1\" data-id=\"466d6b1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3436482 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3436482\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Report cards provide the student and the student\u2019s parent\/legal guardian with an objective evaluation of scholastic achievement with indicators of progress.

A school may not wait for a student to receive a failing grade at the end of a grading period to identify the student as having a substantial reading deficiency and initiate intensive reading interventions. In addition, a school may not wait until an evaluation conducted pursuant to s.1003.56, F.S., is completed to provide appropriate, evidence-based interventions for a student whose parent submits documentation from a professional licensed under Chapter 490, F.S., which demonstrates that the student has been diagnosed with dyslexia. Such interventions must be initiated upon receipt of the documentation and based on the student\u2019s specific areas of difficulty as identified by the licensed professional. A student who has a substantial reading deficiency must be covered by a federally required student plan, such as an individual education plan or an individualized progress monitoring plan, or both, as necessary. The parent of any student who exhibits a substantial deficiency in reading based upon screening, diagnostic, progress monitoring, assessment data, statewide assessments, or teacher observations, must be notified in writing of the following:<\/p><ol><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">That his or her child has been identified as having a substantial deficiency in reading, including a description and explanation, in terms understandable to the parent, of the exact nature of the student\u2019s difficulty in learning and lack of achievement in reading.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">A description of the current services that are provided to the child.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">A description of the proposed intensive interventions and supports that will be provided to the child that are designed to remediate the identified area of reading deficiency.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">That if the child\u2019s reading deficiency is not remediated by the end of grade 3, the child must be retained unless he or she is exempt from mandatory retention for good cause.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">Strategies, including multisensory strategies, through a read-at-home plan the parent can use to help his or her child succeed in reading.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">That the statewide, standardized English Language Arts assessment is not the sole determiner of promotion and that additional evaluations, portfolio reviews and assessments are available to the child to assist parents and the school district in knowing when a child is reading at or above grade level and ready for grade promotion.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">The district\u2019s specific criteria and policies for student portfolios and the evidence required for a student to demonstrate mastery of Florida\u2019s academic standards for English Language Arts.

The purpose should be for students to (1) practice or rehearse, to begin (2) preparation for the introduction of new content, or to (3) deepen knowledge and understanding (Marzano, 2001). When homework is assigned for the purpose of practice\/rehearsal, it should be based on material with which the students are very familiar. When homework is assigned to help prepare students for new content, the teacher should carefully explain the purpose for homework and make connections for the student.

Students are expected to take an AP exam at the end of each AP course. The student will receive the AP weighted credit regardless of the AP test score. Schools will impose the $99 exam fee plus the additional $40 unused or canceled exam fee when students who are registered for the examination do not participate. Additionally, fees will be imposed for unused\/canceled exams (per College Board policy) by schools if a student drops an AP course at the semester.<\/p><p>\u00a0If a student only completes one semester of an AP course, they will receive weighted credit for that semester. For example, if a student comes to our district having completed semester 1 of an AP course and then does not continue that course the second semester, they will still receive the .5 credit for the course code and the .5 weighting. The transcript should reflect the courses the student actually sat in each semester; for example, Semester 1-AP, Semester 2 Honors. The two together will satisfy one credit.<\/p><p>AICE, AP, and IB courses are designed to earn college credit as well as meet high school graduation requirements. As such, materials and discussions for these courses may reflect topics not typically included in SJCSD courses.

Students are expected to take an AP exam at the end of each AP course. The student will receive the AP weighted credit regardless of the AP test score. Schools will impose the $99 ($147 for AP seminar or AP Research) exam fee plus the additional $40 unused or canceled exam fee when students who are registered for the examination do not participate. Additionally, fees will be imposed for unused\/canceled exams (per College Board policy) by schools if a student drops an AP course at the semester.<\/p><p>If a student only completes one semester of an AP course, they will receive weighted credit for that semester. For example, if a student comes to our district having completed semester 1 of an AP course and then does not continue that course the second semester, they will still receive the .5 credit for the course code and the .5 weighting. The transcript should reflect the courses the student actually sat in each semester; for example, Semester 1-AP, Semester 2 Honors. The two together will satisfy one credit.<\/p><p>AICE, AP, and IB courses are designed to earn college credit as well as meet high school graduation requirements. As such, materials and discussions for these courses may reflect topics not typically included in SJCSD courses. Due to the dual credit nature of these courses, content and materials may not be modified.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-01e7aa9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"01e7aa9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0b693e0\" data-id=\"0b693e0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09002f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"09002f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Awarding of Advanced Placement Credit<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc8c014 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bc8c014\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Students who score a minimum of 3 on a 5-point scale may receive college credit.

high school, which must include the integration of health. This course requirement can be satisfied when students successfully complete Health Opportunities through Physical Education (HOPE), a one-year course. In addition to HOPE, there are various Physical Education courses offered as electives, but none are required for graduation. HOPE does not have to be taken during a student\u2019s ninth grade year but is encouraged.<\/p><p>The only alternative options approved by the State of Florida to meet the one credit Physical Education\/HOPE requirement are as follows: **<\/p><ul><li>Students who participate in an interscholastic sport at the junior varsity or varsity level for two full seasons have the option to waive the one-credit requirement for HOPE. This also includes competitive cheerleading in high schools that compete in events sanctioned through the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). A full season is defined as attendance and participation in both the practices and competitive events from the first day allowable by the FHSAA to the elimination of the team from the FHSAA tournament competition. Students who choose to waive the physical education requirement by participating in an interscholastic sport, which includes competitive cheerleading, must complete additional credits in elective courses to meet the 24 credits required by the state for graduation.<\/li><li>Completion of two full years in a Reserve Officer Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) class, a significant component of which is drills, may satisfy the one-credit requirement in physical education\/HOPE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/Session\/Bill\/2014\/7031\/BillText\/er\/PDF\">(HB 7031-2014 page <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/Session\/Bill\/2014\/7031\/BillText\/er\/PDF\">50<\/a><u>).<\/u> Students using this to satisfy the course are still required to complete 24 credits for the standard ***<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>*<\/strong>It is important to note that students who choose to waive the HOPE course with participation in athletics, or who choose to satisfy the credit with JROTC will not receive comprehensive Health or Physical Education. Therefore, they will receive little or no exposure to a variety of health concepts. The description of the HOPE course and the associated stated standards are located online at CPALMS at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpalms.org\/\">www.cpalms.org.<\/a><\/p><p><strong>** <\/strong>There are no waivers for medical reasons. The HOPE course is designed to be adapted to meet students\u2019 individual needs.

This course requirement can be satisfied when students successfully complete Health Opportunities through Physical Education (HOPE), a one-year course. In addition to HOPE, there are various Physical Education courses offered as electives, but none are required for graduation. HOPE does not have to be taken during a student\u2019s ninth grade year but is encouraged.<\/p><p>The only alternative options approved by the State of Florida to meet the one credit Physical Education\/HOPE requirement are as follows:<\/p><ul><li>Students who participate in an interscholastic sport at the junior varsity or varsity level for two full seasons have the option to waive the one-credit requirement for HOPE. This also includes competitive cheerleading in high schools that compete in events sanctioned through the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). A full season is defined as attendance and participation in both the practices and competitive events from the first day allowable by the FHSAA to the elimination of the team from the FHSAA tournament competition. Students who choose to waive the physical education requirement by participating in an interscholastic sport, which includes competitive cheerleading, must complete additional credits in elective courses to meet the 24 credits required by the state for graduation. *<\/li><li>Completion of two full years in a Reserve Officer Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) class, a significant component of which is drills, may satisfy the one-credit requirement in physical education\/HOPE (HB 7031-2014 page 50). Students using this to satisfy the course are still required to complete 24 credits for the standard *** *<\/li><li>Two years of marching band to satisfy the one-credit requirement in physical education or the one-credit requirement in performing arts.<\/li><\/ul><p>* It is important to note that students who choose to waive the HOPE course with participation in athletics, or who choose to satisfy the credit with JROTC will not receive comprehensive Health or Physical Education. Therefore, they will receive little or no exposure to a variety of health concepts. The description of the HOPE course and the associated stated standards are located online at CPALMS at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpalms.org\">www.cpalms.org<\/a>.<\/p><p>** There are no waivers for medical reasons. The HOPE course is designed to be adapted to meet students\u2019 individual needs.

When homework is assigned to help prepare students for new content, the teacher should carefully explain the purpose for homework and make connections for the student.

Some of these courses have state EOCs and others do not. Credit Recovery Courses may be used for Grade Forgiveness \/ Credit Recovery as well as remediation, and they may be taken in a traditional classroom, a credit recovery lab or through virtual school. Courses offered through a private school may not be used for credit recovery without prior approval by Secondary Instructional Services.<\/p><p>Credit Recovery Courses are .5 elective credit semester courses with specific content requirements defined by the Florida Standards and a maximum of one credit per course. Students enrolled in a Credit Recovery Course must have previously attempted the corresponding course and end-of-course (EOC) assessment, since the course requirements for the Credit Recovery course are exactly the same as the previously attempted corresponding course. For example, Geometry (1206310) and Geometry for Credit Recovery (1206315) have identical content requirements. However, Credit Recovery courses are not bound by section 1003.436(1)(a), F.S., which requires a minimum of 135 hours of instruction. Students who are college-bound athletes and are registering with the NCAA Clearinghouse cannot do credit recovery (APEX\/Edmentum), per NCAA Guidelines. To recover failed courses, college-bound athletes may only do grade recovery through brick-and-mortar classes, FLVS, or SJVS courses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f03b392 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f03b392\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-499d7a7\" data-id=\"499d7a7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a638fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9a638fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Grade Forgiveness and EOC Retake Policy <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97b74b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97b74b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A high school student who is retaking an EOC course for grade forgiveness and has already taken the EOC is encouraged to retake the EOC but is not required.

A student may request an exception to the SJRSC attendance requirement by filing a dual enrollment waiver. Steps for obtaining a dual enrollment waiver include the following:<\/p><ul><li>Upon consultation with the school counselor, the student must complete a Dual Enrollment Waiver Request Form provided by the school counselor. Completing the petition process does not guarantee approval of the waiver.<\/li><li>The student must write a statement requesting an exception be made to the policy requiring his\/her participation in Dual Enrollment at SJRSC, which serves the St. Johns County School District. In this statement, an explanation must be given describing the rationale for the request.<\/li><li>The school counselor must submit the waiver request form to the principal for approval\/disapproval.<\/li><li>If approved, the principal must submit the waiver to the Director for Secondary Instructional Services for approval.<\/li><li>The Director for Secondary Instructional Services must submit the approved waiver to the Director of Dual Enrollment at SJRSC.<\/li><\/ul><p>Dual enrollment courses may be taken during school hours, after school hours and during the summer term. A student shall be granted credit toward high school graduation requirements for appropriate courses taken through dual enrollment. Without prior approval, there is no guarantee that high school credit will be granted for non- SJRSC courses.<\/p><p>Applied academics for adult education instruction, developmental education, and other forms of precollegiate instruction, as well as physical education courses that focus on the physical execution of a skill rather than the intellectual attributes of the activity, are ineligible for inclusion in the dual enrollment program.<\/p><p>Dual enrollment shall be offered on the high school campus whenever possible. Students should take DE courses on their zoned high school campus if they are offered there, as opposed to the SJRSC campus. Taking a dual enrollment course through a 4-year state university is not an option if the course is offered on the local high school campus or SJRSC. A waiver would be needed when the advanced studies progression of the student requires a third-year college curriculum. The district has an articulation agreement with UNF for these very unusual circumstances.<\/p><p>According to the Florida Department of Education Office of Articulation, dual enrollment science courses taken with a\u00a0corresponding laboratory course will be awarded 1.0 high\u00a0school science credit. Dual enrollment science courses taken\u00a0without a laboratory component will be awarded 0.5 high\u00a0school credit.<\/p><p>Dual enrollment courses receive the same weighting for GPA calculation as International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE), and Advanced Placement (AP).<\/p><p>The Dual Enrollment Transfer Guarantee is to be distributed to all dual enrollment students and their parents\/legal guardian.

Parents\/legal guardians should confer with the counselor to determine whether the course selected is appropriate for the student based on the student\u2019s academic history.<\/p><p>Students may enroll in a virtual course offered by any other school district in the state if the student does not have access to the course in St. Johns County School District, pursuant to Section 1003.498, F.S. The law states that the district of instruction reports the student\u2019s completion of the course for funding and that the total reported FTE for both districts cannot exceed 1.0 FTE. When these students seek to enroll in an online course offered by another district, both districts should be involved in the enrollment process and acknowledge requirements related to eligibility and funding before the student is allowed to enroll in the course.

Enrollment in virtual school must be approved by the student\u2019s school counselor prior to the start of a new semester. The School Board shall provide students with access to enroll in courses available through the SJVS\/FLVS and shall award credit for successful completion of such courses.

Some of these courses have state EOCs and others do not. Credit Recovery Courses may be used for Grade Forgiveness \/ Credit Recovery as well as remediation, and they may be taken in a traditional classroom, a credit recovery lab or through virtual school. Courses offered through a private school may not be used for credit recovery without prior approval by Secondary Instructional Services.<\/p><p>Credit Recovery Courses are .5 elective credit semester courses with specific content requirements defined by the Florida Standards and a maximum of one credit per course. Students enrolled in a Credit Recovery Course must have previously attempted the corresponding course and end-of-course (EOC) assessment, since the course requirements for the Credit Recovery course are exactly the same as the previously attempted corresponding course. For example, Geometry (1206310) and Geometry for Credit Recovery (1206315) have identical content requirements. However, Credit Recovery courses are not bound by section 1003.436(1)(a), F.S., which requires a minimum of 135 hours of instruction. Students who are college-bound athletes and are registering with the NCAA Clearinghouse cannot do credit recovery (APEX\/Edmentum), per NCAA Guidelines. To recover failed courses, college-bound athletes may only do grade recovery through brick-and-mortar classes, FLVS, or SJVS courses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-434 page type-page status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/spp\/charter\/\">\n\t\t\t\tCharter Schools\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__content\"><style><\/style>\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"wp-page\" data-elementor-id=\"434\" class=\"elementor elementor-434\" data-elementor-post-type=\"page\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0fd5ba3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0fd5ba3\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"00\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cc27fff\" data-id=\"cc27fff\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50c26d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50c26d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Charter schools are public schools that are operated by the governing board of a non-profit organization under the sponsorship of the St. Johns County School Board.

To be eligible for deferment, students must be on track to meet credit, grade point average (GPA), and testing requirements for a standard diploma.<\/p><p>Deferment services and programs should be specific, intentional, and aligned with students\u2019 needs and their postsecondary goals. When discussing deferment, the IEP team should consider the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). For many students with disabilities, deferment may be a more restrictive setting compared to entering directly into a postsecondary environment. Students wishing to defer receipt of their diploma must do so no later than May 15th of their senior year. Students with disabilities who earn a standard diploma without deferring are not eligible for further services from the school district.<\/p><p>Once a student has met the requirements to earn a Florida standard diploma as described in Section 1003.4282, F.S., a SWD with an IEP enrolled in a public school may have their IEP team determine eligibility to defer receipt of that diploma if they meet two conditions:<\/p><ol><li>They have an Individual Education Plan that prescribes special education, transition planning, transition services, or related services through age 21.<\/li><li>They are enrolled in a structured work-study, internship, pre-apprenticeship, accelerated college credit instruction pursuant to s.1007.27. FS, industry certification courses that lead to college credit, an early college program, or courses necessary to satisfy the scholar designation requirements.<\/li><\/ol><p>It is important to note that each of these programs has a different focus (academic, employment, or independent living); they vary in academic rigor, may take place in school, business, or community settings, and some require an application process including entrance criteria and timelines.<\/p><p>Students <strong>not enrolled in public school<\/strong>, such as those in home school or private school, do not fall under these provisions and are not eligible for FAPE and\/or processes related to FAPE (including deferment).<\/p><p>Once a student takes receipt of their standard diploma and\/or the LEA\/district recognizes a student&#8217;s earned high school diploma from another entity (such as out-of-state, private, home school, etc.), the district is released from the obligation to provide FAPE to the student.<\/p><p>Deferment is a one-time opportunity and can end at the family&#8217;s or adult student&#8217;s request or upon the student\u2019s 22nd birthday, whichever comes first. When a student wishes to end deferment, the IEP team must reconvene through a special review to terminate the deferment through the IEP process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-443 page type-page status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/spp\/esol\/\">\n\t\t\t\tEnglish for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__content\"><style><\/style>\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"wp-page\" data-elementor-id=\"443\" class=\"elementor elementor-443\" data-elementor-post-type=\"page\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-427588d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"427588d\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"00\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8d134f2\" data-id=\"8d134f2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2879c96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2879c96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Placement of English Language Learners English Language Learners (ELLs) shall be placed in appropriate courses designed to provide ESOL instruction in English and the basic subject areas of mathematics, science, social studies, and computer literacy.

The student must comply with all FHSAA regulations, including eligibility requirements regarding age and limits of eligibility, and local school regulations during the time of participation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1a13016 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1a13016\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"04\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05f34cb\" data-id=\"05f34cb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b55ec9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1b55ec9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a7bcd3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a7bcd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>College-bound student athletes will need to meet more rigorous academic rules to receive a scholarship at NCAA Division I colleges or universities.

It is necessary to complete the District&#8217;s Course Acceleration Checklist and Course Acceleration Request, available from the K-12 Gifted Program Specialist. Consistent with school board rules and in accordance with state statute 1012.28 (5) F.S., the Superintendent has designated the principal of the school as the final authority in the placement of students in programs or classes.<\/p><p>Students in all grades are eligible for single course acceleration after demonstrating mastery of the current grade level course standards. When a student is accelerated, they are still responsible for mastering all standards in the current grade level courses and will be required to take all district and FAST Assessments at the grade level of the accelerated course. Integrated curriculum standards such as literacy and social studies may be missed through acceleration yet included on future assessments required for middle school promotion. In addition, math and science topics are presented only once rather than being repeated year after year. Therefore, the parent\/legal guardian should consider carefully the full academic and social ramifications of acceleration and confer with the school counselor to determine if single course acceleration is appropriate for the student based on the student\u2019s academic history, teacher recommendation, ability to work independently and the long-range academic, social, and emotional effect of acceleration. The Course Acceleration Request should be completed before November 1.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7751654 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7751654\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"06\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4f51220\" data-id=\"4f51220\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4270ebb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4270ebb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Examples of single course acceleration: <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb9c7af elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb9c7af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>\u00a0A fourth-grade student who earned a level 5 on the FAST in reading or math and demonstrates at least 80% mastery of the fourth-grade level course standards as identified by district assessments is eligible to request single course acceleration to a fifth-grade level course in reading or math.

The student who scores below the 45th percentile on the SAT 10 Reading Comprehension subtest will be considered for retention.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-367a07a6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"367a07a6\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"11\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3afec257\" data-id=\"3afec257\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-727748b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"727748b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">English Language Learners (ELLs) in Grades K-5 <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-192a1bc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"192a1bc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Promotion of an ELL student is based on satisfactory student performance in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies and other requirements as set by the district and the state.

The curriculum in all schools in St. Johns County is based on the ELA and Math B.E.S.T. Standards. These standards specify what students should know and be able to do. In a standards-based system, grades should be an indication of the level of mastery as determined by summative assessments.<\/p><p>Summative assessments are those assessments that are administered at the end of a learning sequence after ample practice or rehearsal of essential knowledge. Summative assessments indicate mastery of benchmarks and standards. Examples of summative assessments include:<\/p><ul><li>Chapter tests.<\/li><li>Reading selection tests quizzes (practice\/rehearsal has been provided prior to the quiz).<\/li><li>Performance assessments evaluated by a rubric shared with students prior to the assessment.<\/li><\/ul><p>Teachers also use formative assessments, which are frequent, in-progress checks for understanding, on a regular basis. Formative assessments are used to inform instruction, to provide ongoing and helpful feedback, to alert teachers to what challenges students are still facing, and to inform students about where they are in relation to mastery of the standard. Examples of formative assessments include:<\/p><ul><li>Exercises as a direct follow-up to instruction.<\/li><li>Quizzes to spot check for understanding.<\/li><li>Observing students at work and noting progress or need for re-teaching.<\/li><li>Students and teachers communicate about a topic by talking or writing (teachers informally assess what students know and are able to do and determine next steps for instruction).<\/li><\/ul><p>Grades should be clear, undiluted indicators of what students know and are able to do at the conclusion of the learning sequence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-358 page type-page status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/spp\/elem\/report-cards\/\" >\n\t\t\t\tElementary Report Cards\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__content\"><style><\/style>\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"wp-page\" data-elementor-id=\"358\" class=\"elementor elementor-358\" data-elementor-post-type=\"page\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4467174 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4467174\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"00\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-466d6b1\" data-id=\"466d6b1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3436482 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3436482\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Report cards provide the student and the student\u2019s parent\/legal guardian with an objective evaluation of scholastic achievement with indicators of progress.

A school may not wait for a student to receive a failing grade at the end of a grading period to identify the student as having a substantial reading deficiency and initiate intensive reading interventions. In addition, a school may not wait until an evaluation conducted pursuant to s.1003.56, F.S., is completed to provide appropriate, evidence-based interventions for a student whose parent submits documentation from a professional licensed under Chapter 490, F.S., which demonstrates that the student has been diagnosed with dyslexia. Such interventions must be initiated upon receipt of the documentation and based on the student\u2019s specific areas of difficulty as identified by the licensed professional. A student who has a substantial reading deficiency must be covered by a federally required student plan, such as an individual education plan or an individualized progress monitoring plan, or both, as necessary. The parent of any student who exhibits a substantial deficiency in reading based upon screening, diagnostic, progress monitoring, assessment data, statewide assessments, or teacher observations, must be notified in writing of the following:<\/p><ol><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">That his or her child has been identified as having a substantial deficiency in reading, including a description and explanation, in terms understandable to the parent, of the exact nature of the student\u2019s difficulty in learning and lack of achievement in reading.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">A description of the current services that are provided to the child.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">A description of the proposed intensive interventions and supports that will be provided to the child that are designed to remediate the identified area of reading deficiency.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">That if the child\u2019s reading deficiency is not remediated by the end of grade 3, the child must be retained unless he or she is exempt from mandatory retention for good cause.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">Strategies, including multisensory strategies, through a read-at-home plan the parent can use to help his or her child succeed in reading.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">That the statewide, standardized English Language Arts assessment is not the sole determiner of promotion and that additional evaluations, portfolio reviews and assessments are available to the child to assist parents and the school district in knowing when a child is reading at or above grade level and ready for grade promotion.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\">The district\u2019s specific criteria and policies for student portfolios and the evidence required for a student to demonstrate mastery of Florida\u2019s academic standards for English Language Arts.

The purpose should be for students to (1) practice or rehearse, to begin (2) preparation for the introduction of new content, or to (3) deepen knowledge and understanding (Marzano, 2001). When homework is assigned for the purpose of practice\/rehearsal, it should be based on material with which the students are very familiar. When homework is assigned to help prepare students for new content, the teacher should carefully explain the purpose for homework and make connections for the student.

Students are expected to take an AP exam at the end of each AP course. The student will receive the AP weighted credit regardless of the AP test score. Schools will impose the $99 exam fee plus the additional $40 unused or canceled exam fee when students who are registered for the examination do not participate. Additionally, fees will be imposed for unused\/canceled exams (per College Board policy) by schools if a student drops an AP course at the semester.<\/p><p>\u00a0If a student only completes one semester of an AP course, they will receive weighted credit for that semester. For example, if a student comes to our district having completed semester 1 of an AP course and then does not continue that course the second semester, they will still receive the .5 credit for the course code and the .5 weighting. The transcript should reflect the courses the student actually sat in each semester; for example, Semester 1-AP, Semester 2 Honors. The two together will satisfy one credit.<\/p><p>AICE, AP, and IB courses are designed to earn college credit as well as meet high school graduation requirements. As such, materials and discussions for these courses may reflect topics not typically included in SJCSD courses.

Students are expected to take an AP exam at the end of each AP course. The student will receive the AP weighted credit regardless of the AP test score. Schools will impose the $99 ($147 for AP seminar or AP Research) exam fee plus the additional $40 unused or canceled exam fee when students who are registered for the examination do not participate. Additionally, fees will be imposed for unused\/canceled exams (per College Board policy) by schools if a student drops an AP course at the semester.<\/p><p>If a student only completes one semester of an AP course, they will receive weighted credit for that semester. For example, if a student comes to our district having completed semester 1 of an AP course and then does not continue that course the second semester, they will still receive the .5 credit for the course code and the .5 weighting. The transcript should reflect the courses the student actually sat in each semester; for example, Semester 1-AP, Semester 2 Honors. The two together will satisfy one credit.<\/p><p>AICE, AP, and IB courses are designed to earn college credit as well as meet high school graduation requirements. As such, materials and discussions for these courses may reflect topics not typically included in SJCSD courses. Due to the dual credit nature of these courses, content and materials may not be modified.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-01e7aa9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"01e7aa9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0b693e0\" data-id=\"0b693e0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09002f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"09002f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Awarding of Advanced Placement Credit<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc8c014 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bc8c014\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Students who score a minimum of 3 on a 5-point scale may receive college credit.

high school, which must include the integration of health. This course requirement can be satisfied when students successfully complete Health Opportunities through Physical Education (HOPE), a one-year course. In addition to HOPE, there are various Physical Education courses offered as electives, but none are required for graduation. HOPE does not have to be taken during a student\u2019s ninth grade year but is encouraged.<\/p><p>The only alternative options approved by the State of Florida to meet the one credit Physical Education\/HOPE requirement are as follows: **<\/p><ul><li>Students who participate in an interscholastic sport at the junior varsity or varsity level for two full seasons have the option to waive the one-credit requirement for HOPE. This also includes competitive cheerleading in high schools that compete in events sanctioned through the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). A full season is defined as attendance and participation in both the practices and competitive events from the first day allowable by the FHSAA to the elimination of the team from the FHSAA tournament competition. Students who choose to waive the physical education requirement by participating in an interscholastic sport, which includes competitive cheerleading, must complete additional credits in elective courses to meet the 24 credits required by the state for graduation.<\/li><li>Completion of two full years in a Reserve Officer Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) class, a significant component of which is drills, may satisfy the one-credit requirement in physical education\/HOPE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/Session\/Bill\/2014\/7031\/BillText\/er\/PDF\">(HB 7031-2014 page <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/Session\/Bill\/2014\/7031\/BillText\/er\/PDF\">50<\/a><u>).<\/u> Students using this to satisfy the course are still required to complete 24 credits for the standard ***<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>*<\/strong>It is important to note that students who choose to waive the HOPE course with participation in athletics, or who choose to satisfy the credit with JROTC will not receive comprehensive Health or Physical Education. Therefore, they will receive little or no exposure to a variety of health concepts. The description of the HOPE course and the associated stated standards are located online at CPALMS at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpalms.org\/\">www.cpalms.org.<\/a><\/p><p><strong>** <\/strong>There are no waivers for medical reasons. The HOPE course is designed to be adapted to meet students\u2019 individual needs.

This course requirement can be satisfied when students successfully complete Health Opportunities through Physical Education (HOPE), a one-year course. In addition to HOPE, there are various Physical Education courses offered as electives, but none are required for graduation. HOPE does not have to be taken during a student\u2019s ninth grade year but is encouraged.<\/p><p>The only alternative options approved by the State of Florida to meet the one credit Physical Education\/HOPE requirement are as follows:<\/p><ul><li>Students who participate in an interscholastic sport at the junior varsity or varsity level for two full seasons have the option to waive the one-credit requirement for HOPE. This also includes competitive cheerleading in high schools that compete in events sanctioned through the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). A full season is defined as attendance and participation in both the practices and competitive events from the first day allowable by the FHSAA to the elimination of the team from the FHSAA tournament competition. Students who choose to waive the physical education requirement by participating in an interscholastic sport, which includes competitive cheerleading, must complete additional credits in elective courses to meet the 24 credits required by the state for graduation. *<\/li><li>Completion of two full years in a Reserve Officer Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) class, a significant component of which is drills, may satisfy the one-credit requirement in physical education\/HOPE (HB 7031-2014 page 50). Students using this to satisfy the course are still required to complete 24 credits for the standard *** *<\/li><li>Two years of marching band to satisfy the one-credit requirement in physical education or the one-credit requirement in performing arts.<\/li><\/ul><p>* It is important to note that students who choose to waive the HOPE course with participation in athletics, or who choose to satisfy the credit with JROTC will not receive comprehensive Health or Physical Education. Therefore, they will receive little or no exposure to a variety of health concepts. The description of the HOPE course and the associated stated standards are located online at CPALMS at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpalms.org\">www.cpalms.org<\/a>.<\/p><p>** There are no waivers for medical reasons. The HOPE course is designed to be adapted to meet students\u2019 individual needs.

When homework is assigned to help prepare students for new content, the teacher should carefully explain the purpose for homework and make connections for the student.

Some of these courses have state EOCs and others do not. Credit Recovery Courses may be used for Grade Forgiveness \/ Credit Recovery as well as remediation, and they may be taken in a traditional classroom, a credit recovery lab or through virtual school. Courses offered through a private school may not be used for credit recovery without prior approval by Secondary Instructional Services.<\/p><p>Credit Recovery Courses are .5 elective credit semester courses with specific content requirements defined by the Florida Standards and a maximum of one credit per course. Students enrolled in a Credit Recovery Course must have previously attempted the corresponding course and end-of-course (EOC) assessment, since the course requirements for the Credit Recovery course are exactly the same as the previously attempted corresponding course. For example, Geometry (1206310) and Geometry for Credit Recovery (1206315) have identical content requirements. However, Credit Recovery courses are not bound by section 1003.436(1)(a), F.S., which requires a minimum of 135 hours of instruction. Students who are college-bound athletes and are registering with the NCAA Clearinghouse cannot do credit recovery (APEX\/Edmentum), per NCAA Guidelines. To recover failed courses, college-bound athletes may only do grade recovery through brick-and-mortar classes, FLVS, or SJVS courses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f03b392 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f03b392\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-499d7a7\" data-id=\"499d7a7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a638fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9a638fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Grade Forgiveness and EOC Retake Policy <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97b74b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97b74b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A high school student who is retaking an EOC course for grade forgiveness and has already taken the EOC is encouraged to retake the EOC but is not required.

A student may request an exception to the SJRSC attendance requirement by filing a dual enrollment waiver. Steps for obtaining a dual enrollment waiver include the following:<\/p><ul><li>Upon consultation with the school counselor, the student must complete a Dual Enrollment Waiver Request Form provided by the school counselor. Completing the petition process does not guarantee approval of the waiver.<\/li><li>The student must write a statement requesting an exception be made to the policy requiring his\/her participation in Dual Enrollment at SJRSC, which serves the St. Johns County School District. In this statement, an explanation must be given describing the rationale for the request.<\/li><li>The school counselor must submit the waiver request form to the principal for approval\/disapproval.<\/li><li>If approved, the principal must submit the waiver to the Director for Secondary Instructional Services for approval.<\/li><li>The Director for Secondary Instructional Services must submit the approved waiver to the Director of Dual Enrollment at SJRSC.<\/li><\/ul><p>Dual enrollment courses may be taken during school hours, after school hours and during the summer term. A student shall be granted credit toward high school graduation requirements for appropriate courses taken through dual enrollment. Without prior approval, there is no guarantee that high school credit will be granted for non- SJRSC courses.<\/p><p>Applied academics for adult education instruction, developmental education, and other forms of precollegiate instruction, as well as physical education courses that focus on the physical execution of a skill rather than the intellectual attributes of the activity, are ineligible for inclusion in the dual enrollment program.<\/p><p>Dual enrollment shall be offered on the high school campus whenever possible. Students should take DE courses on their zoned high school campus if they are offered there, as opposed to the SJRSC campus. Taking a dual enrollment course through a 4-year state university is not an option if the course is offered on the local high school campus or SJRSC. A waiver would be needed when the advanced studies progression of the student requires a third-year college curriculum. The district has an articulation agreement with UNF for these very unusual circumstances.<\/p><p>According to the Florida Department of Education Office of Articulation, dual enrollment science courses taken with a\u00a0corresponding laboratory course will be awarded 1.0 high\u00a0school science credit. Dual enrollment science courses taken\u00a0without a laboratory component will be awarded 0.5 high\u00a0school credit.<\/p><p>Dual enrollment courses receive the same weighting for GPA calculation as International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE), and Advanced Placement (AP).<\/p><p>The Dual Enrollment Transfer Guarantee is to be distributed to all dual enrollment students and their parents\/legal guardian.

Parents\/legal guardians should confer with the counselor to determine whether the course selected is appropriate for the student based on the student\u2019s academic history.<\/p><p>Students may enroll in a virtual course offered by any other school district in the state if the student does not have access to the course in St. Johns County School District, pursuant to Section 1003.498, F.S. The law states that the district of instruction reports the student\u2019s completion of the course for funding and that the total reported FTE for both districts cannot exceed 1.0 FTE. When these students seek to enroll in an online course offered by another district, both districts should be involved in the enrollment process and acknowledge requirements related to eligibility and funding before the student is allowed to enroll in the course.

Enrollment in virtual school must be approved by the student\u2019s school counselor prior to the start of a new semester. The School Board shall provide students with access to enroll in courses available through the SJVS\/FLVS and shall award credit for successful completion of such courses.

Some of these courses have state EOCs and others do not. Credit Recovery Courses may be used for Grade Forgiveness \/ Credit Recovery as well as remediation, and they may be taken in a traditional classroom, a credit recovery lab or through virtual school. Courses offered through a private school may not be used for credit recovery without prior approval by Secondary Instructional Services.<\/p><p>Credit Recovery Courses are .5 elective credit semester courses with specific content requirements defined by the Florida Standards and a maximum of one credit per course. Students enrolled in a Credit Recovery Course must have previously attempted the corresponding course and end-of-course (EOC) assessment, since the course requirements for the Credit Recovery course are exactly the same as the previously attempted corresponding course. For example, Geometry (1206310) and Geometry for Credit Recovery (1206315) have identical content requirements. However, Credit Recovery courses are not bound by section 1003.436(1)(a), F.S., which requires a minimum of 135 hours of instruction. Students who are college-bound athletes and are registering with the NCAA Clearinghouse cannot do credit recovery (APEX\/Edmentum), per NCAA Guidelines. To recover failed courses, college-bound athletes may only do grade recovery through brick-and-mortar classes, FLVS, or SJVS courses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-434 page type-page status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/spp\/charter\/\" >\n\t\t\t\tCharter Schools\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__content\"><style><\/style>\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"wp-page\" data-elementor-id=\"434\" class=\"elementor elementor-434\" data-elementor-post-type=\"page\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0fd5ba3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0fd5ba3\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"00\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cc27fff\" data-id=\"cc27fff\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50c26d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50c26d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Charter schools are public schools that are operated by the governing board of a non-profit organization under the sponsorship of the St. Johns County School Board.

To be eligible for deferment, students must be on track to meet credit, grade point average (GPA), and testing requirements for a standard diploma.<\/p><p>Deferment services and programs should be specific, intentional, and aligned with students\u2019 needs and their postsecondary goals. When discussing deferment, the IEP team should consider the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). For many students with disabilities, deferment may be a more restrictive setting compared to entering directly into a postsecondary environment. Students wishing to defer receipt of their diploma must do so no later than May 15th of their senior year. Students with disabilities who earn a standard diploma without deferring are not eligible for further services from the school district.<\/p><p>Once a student has met the requirements to earn a Florida standard diploma as described in Section 1003.4282, F.S., a SWD with an IEP enrolled in a public school may have their IEP team determine eligibility to defer receipt of that diploma if they meet two conditions:<\/p><ol><li>They have an Individual Education Plan that prescribes special education, transition planning, transition services, or related services through age 21.<\/li><li>They are enrolled in a structured work-study, internship, pre-apprenticeship, accelerated college credit instruction pursuant to s.1007.27. FS, industry certification courses that lead to college credit, an early college program, or courses necessary to satisfy the scholar designation requirements.<\/li><\/ol><p>It is important to note that each of these programs has a different focus (academic, employment, or independent living); they vary in academic rigor, may take place in school, business, or community settings, and some require an application process including entrance criteria and timelines.<\/p><p>Students <strong>not enrolled in public school<\/strong>, such as those in home school or private school, do not fall under these provisions and are not eligible for FAPE and\/or processes related to FAPE (including deferment).<\/p><p>Once a student takes receipt of their standard diploma and\/or the LEA\/district recognizes a student&#8217;s earned high school diploma from another entity (such as out-of-state, private, home school, etc.), the district is released from the obligation to provide FAPE to the student.<\/p><p>Deferment is a one-time opportunity and can end at the family&#8217;s or adult student&#8217;s request or upon the student\u2019s 22nd birthday, whichever comes first. When a student wishes to end deferment, the IEP team must reconvene through a special review to terminate the deferment through the IEP process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-443 page type-page status-publish hentry\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/spp\/esol\/\" >\n\t\t\t\tEnglish for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__content\"><style><\/style>\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"wp-page\" data-elementor-id=\"443\" class=\"elementor elementor-443\" data-elementor-post-type=\"page\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-427588d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"427588d\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"00\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8d134f2\" data-id=\"8d134f2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2879c96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2879c96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Placement of English Language Learners English Language Learners (ELLs) shall be placed in appropriate courses designed to provide ESOL instruction in English and the basic subject areas of mathematics, science, social studies, and computer literacy.

The student must comply with all FHSAA regulations, including eligibility requirements regarding age and limits of eligibility, and local school regulations during the time of participation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1a13016 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1a13016\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"04\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05f34cb\" data-id=\"05f34cb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b55ec9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1b55ec9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a7bcd3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a7bcd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>College-bound student athletes will need to meet more rigorous academic rules to receive a scholarship at NCAA Division I colleges or universities. A student who enters a NCAA Division I college or university on or after August 1, 2016 (entered ninth grade 2012-2013), will need to meet new academic rules in order to receive athletics aid (scholarship), practice, or compete during their first year.
