Summer school credits are notconsidered part of the academic school year load. Students are able to carry a maximum of 8.0 credits during the schoolyear. Wisconsin Heights High School operates on a semester schedule. One semester course equals .5 credit.Student Course FeesEach student will pay an annual fee or 40.00 for handbook, textbook rentals, student ID. In addition, some courses havean additional fee which is listed in this booklet at the beginning of each department page. Course fees for the 2021-2022school year will be set by the Board of Education according to the cost of materials needed for the class.Course fees are due during school registration held in August 2021. Students will not be denied access to take a coursebecause of the inability to pay the course fee. If you have financial difficulty paying the fees, please contact the buildingprincipal to discuss payment alternatives.Scheduling Timeline, Scheduling, and Assignment of CoursesThe scheduling process will begin in early spring for the 2021-2022 school year. Class presentations are done by gradelevel. Each student will receive a course description book (which includes the 4-year plan document), course selectionsheet, and a course registration guide sheet. These materials are also posted to our website.Every effort is made to develop a mater schedule according to student needs and interests. The process does involvestudents, parents and the school counselor. Each student must recognize that the scheduling process is a complex task andthat their selections determine curriculum offerings, the final master schedule, and teacher contracts. The amount of timeand effort put into a flexible schedule is considerable and once final schedules have been established in May, schedulechanges will be exceedingly difficult. Students will not be allowed to change their schedules because they have“changed their mind: or they “do not want to work that hard”.Criteria for a course change are as follows: medical reasons which are documented by a physician significant changes to the student’s post high school plans computer error on the student’s schedule two study halls in one semester and none in another student in a co-op or Youth Apprenticeship and needs to be free at certain times for his/her job student IEP requires that modification be made class needs to be added as it is a graduation requirementStudents have the first five days of each semester to request a schedule change for the above criteria with no otherconsequence. Students would be able to add a class in the first five days of each semester only.5
After those five days, students have ten additional school days to change their schedules for the same reasons listedabove, but need teacher permission, parent approval, and any dropped class would results in a “N” (no credit) onthe transcript. Dropping a class after the first five days results in a student being placed in a study hall.Regardless of schedule change, students must maintain full time status.Any class dropped after the ten days would result with an “F” on the transcript. The administrative teach wouldreview extenuating circumstances.Repeating Failed ClassesFailed required courses must be repeated. Initially, failed classes will be taken either during the following semester repeating the class - or during the following summer, if offered. Summer credit recovery at Wisconsin Heights isgenerally reserved for upperclassmen and is taken through PLATO on-line courses and may include an on-sitecomponent. Eligibility and enrollment in these courses are per the recommendation of staff members anddetermined/approved on a case-by-case basis by administration.AuditMost courses cannot be taken twice for credit; however, a previously taken course can be audited. If a better grade isearned by auditing a course, the new course grade will be placed on the transcript and the previous grade will be markedas “NG”. If a better grade is not earned, the audited class will receive NG as a grade. Earning a better grade will not earnthe student additional credit, but it will improve the student’s cumulative GPA. A grade of “F” is permanent on atranscript and therefore cannot be changed through an audit.Honor Roll and Grade Point Average (GPA)The Wisconsin Heights High School Honor Roll and High Honor Roll are based on a 4.0 grading scale. The Honor Rollsare determined by quarter grades. Students who receive a quarterly GPA between 3.0 and 3.749 and have no “D’s”, “F’s”or incompletes are placed on the Honor Roll list. Students with a quarterly GPA of 3.75 or better and have no “D’s”,“F’s” or incompletes are awarded High Honor Roll status. Grade Point Average is calculated by dividing total grade points achieved by total credits attempted.GEDO and PLATO courses are not included in GPA or class rank.Class rank is determined by using semester grades.Grading ScaleGradeAAB BBC CCD DDFPGrade 31.0000.6670.0000.000Grading Scale100.00 – 92.5092.49 – 89.5089.49 – 86.5086.49 – 82.5082.49 – 79.5079.49 – 76.5076.49 – 72.5072.49 – 69.5069.49 – 66.5066.49 – 62.5062.49 – 59.5059.49 – 0.006
Class Rank PolicyThe Board of Education acknowledges the usefulness of a system of computing grade point averages and class ranking forhigh school students, both to inform students of their relative academic placement among their peers and to providestudents, prospective employers and institutions of higher learning with a predictive device so that each student is morelikely to be placed in an environment conducive to success.The Board authorizes a system of class ranking, for students in grades 9-12. Students who receive an “F” on a requiredcourse for graduation must repeat the course. The grade of “F” remains on the transcript.A. Grade point average is calculated by dividing total grade points achieved by total credits attempted. Semestergrades are used to calculate class rank.B. Grade points are calculated on a 4.0 scale.A 4.0B- 2.67D 1.33A- 3.67C 2.33D 1.00B 3.33C 2.00D- .67B 3.00C- 1.67F 0.00C. Students who enroll in Advanced Placement courses receive the AP designation on their transcript but do notreceive any additional grade points. Students enrolled in college courses while in high school will also receive adesignation on their transcript but do not receive any additional grade points.D. All course grades are used when calculating a students’ cumulative grade point average.E. Credit recovery classes are graded as pass/fail using the high school grading scale. Online courses through anaccredited agency or university are graded using the institutions grading scale. Grades are listed on the student’stranscript and are calculated into the cumulative grade point average.F. The building principal will evaluate credits from study abroad programs, alternative programs and homeschoolprograms. The student must provide a transcript from an accredited institution. Students who are homeschooledand who do not have a transcript must submit course syllabi and work samples for review.

This also includes summer school classes. If thestudent is taking the course for postsecondary credit only, the student is responsible for 25% of the actual cost of tuitionfor the course (only if no undue financial burden). A limit of 18 post-secondary credits per student will be paid under theECCP program. The technical colleges are not included in ECCP. Any courses taken through the ECCP must not becomparable to a course that is offered at Wisconsin Heights.Start College NowAllows high school students enrolled in grades 11 and 12 to take college courses at a Wisconsin Technical College. Anycourses taken through the Start College Now Program must not be comparable to a course that is offered at WisconsinHeights.Online CoursesOne of the goals of the Wisconsin Heights School District is to provide students with multiple learning opportunitiesthroughout their educational experience. Online courses are one way a student can participate in courses that theWisconsin Heights School District does not currently offer. Online courses may not be used to substitute classes currently offered by the District. During the school year, students may enroll in 1 online class outside of their regular class schedule. Students maycomplete coursework during their study hall, but can’t enroll in another study hall in order to enroll in the class. Online classes will be a part of a student’s high school GPA. Online courses from district approved institutions require pre-approval by the administration.7
