AM CONSOLIDATED HIGH SCHOOLSUMMER SCHOOL
  • CURRICULUM INFORMATION

14
 Summer School Module Curriculum
  • The module curriculum that will be used has been
    developed by the American Preparatory Institute
    (API) of Killeen, Texas and some courses will use
    curriculum that has been developed by the
    District. This curriculum meets the Texas
    Essential Knowledge Skills guidelines (TEKS)
    set forth by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

15
Summer School Module Curriculum
  • API coursework consists of module books for each
    subject and textbooks for some.
  • Each 1/2 credit semester course is
    self-contained, and the student is able to work
    independently, at his or her own pace.
  • Teacher acts as more of a facilitator for
    students, and is able to work one-on-one with
    students who need help.
  • Students are required to show mastery of the
    content and then required to take a module test
  • the student then proceeds to the next module of
    the semester course.
  • Final exams are required at the end of module
    work (grades are averaged to determine the final
    grade for the course).

Summer School Completion 
  • A summer school counselor will be available daily
    for students, parents, and teachers. Teachers
    will give the Counseling office student grade
    completions daily. Therefore, a students
    schedule will be changed on the day a summer
    school course is completed. When the summer
    school course is dropped, an alternate from the
    registration form will be added to the 2009-2010
    schedule.
  • If no alternates are listed, the summer school
    counselor will choose an appropriate course.
    Students wanting to look at the registration form
    or discuss alternates and/or replacement class
    must see the summer school counselor on the day
    summer school course is completed (or next day if
    completed at night). Keep in mind, some courses
    may be full or may not have made. Class size and
    availability will be carefully considered.

  • GUIDELINES and EXPECTATIONS

20
 Summer School Grade
  • Students enrolled at AM Consolidated should be
    aware that all course final grades will be placed
    on their transcript and will be used to calculate
    their Grade Point Average (GPA).

21
 Summer School Rules
  • Students are expected to follow the normal
    guidelines set forth in the CSISD Student Code of
    Conduct and the AM Consolidated High School
    Student Handbook, as well as, the following
    Summer School Rules.
  • Discipline is usually not an issue in summer
    school. Students who choose not to follow the
    summer school rules are given an opportunity to
    remedy the problem and are then dismissed from
    summer school if the behavior occurs again
    without a refund.

22
Summer School Rules
  • Students caught attempting to take module
    materials will be dismissed from summer school
    without refund at the first occurrence. Modules
    are to stay in the instruction room and are not
    to be xeroxed.

23
Summer School Rules
  • Students caught cheating or plagiarizing will
    receive a zero on their module at the first
    occurrence. On the second occurrence, the
    student will be dismissed from summer school
    without a refund.

24
Summer School Rules
  • Students are not allowed to take paper into
    testing rooms. Students are allowed to take only
    a pen, pencil, or calculator into the testing
    rooms, if needed. Backpacks are not allowed in
    the testing rooms.
  • Module retests are for a maximum grade of 70.
    These must be taken within one class period upon
    student receiving initial test grade. Module
    retests are optional.

25
Summer School Rules
  • Students who begin a course and do not finish a
    semester course due to poor progress or poor
    attendance will not be eligible for a refund.
    Once a course has begun, there will be no
    refunds.
  • Students coming to summer school and not making
    appropriate progress will have a conference with
    the teacher and a phone call will be made to
    parents.

26
Summer School Rules
  • There will be no loitering in the building or
    outside in the parking lots.
  • Students must leave campus if they are not
    attending a summer session.

27
Summer School Rules
  • Students must be on time for a session. Students
    who arrive late will not be allowed into class
    and must go home.
  • On the final day of summer school, Tuesday, June
    30th , students will only be allowed to take
    final exams. The final exam for all classes will
    begin at 805 a.m.

28
Summer School Rules
  • Students with more than 3 unapproved absences may
    be removed from summer school without a refund.
  • Students with fewer than 10 hours of online
    weekly course work and 4 submissions for the
    week, may be removed from summer school without a
    refund.

29
Other Information
  • If you know your student will miss a few days of
    summer school, please send a note with your child
    in the first few days of June indicating their
    upcoming absence. Teachers will be notifying
    parents of absences in classes, so having this
    information ahead of time is helpful and saves a
    phone call home.
  • All summer courses except those for middle school
    students require a large amount of reading.
    Students who have difficulty with reading may
    find these classes challenging.
  • Internet access is important for those taking an
    online course however, if you do not have
    internet access, there will be limited lab space
    available for students to work on online
    coursework at AMCHS in the afternoons.

30
More Information
  • Only one course may be taken at a time. Once a
    student has finished one course, he or she may
    sign up for an additional course or the second
    half of a course as needed. He or she should
    bring a check to school to pay for the new course
    before beginning the next class.
  • Parents and students should refrain from
    attempting to register for more than one course
    at a time, as only one class may be taken at a
    time. We do not accept payment for more than one
    class per student, nor may a student be
    registered for more than one half-credit class at
    a time. This is because we want to be sure your
    student completes a course before moving on.
    Otherwise, you may pay for two classes and not
    finish either one, meaning you would be losing
    money.

31
Talk to a Counselor
  • Before registering for a course, we encourage
    parents and students to speak with their
    students counselor to be sure the proper course
    is taken. For example, if a student has not
    passed English I A (the fall semester), we dont
    want for him to then sign up for English I B (the
    spring) since they already had credit in that
    half of the course. With over 1200 students in
    summer school, it is difficult to catch mistakes
    such as this before it is too late. Speaking to a
    counselor is highly recommended to be sure
    mistakes like this do not occur.

32
  • Registration may be done online (there will be a
    link from the CSISD webpage) OR parents and
    students may pick up a paper copy of the
    registration at their childs school.
    Registration should begin in mid- to late April.
    Check www.csisd.org for registration updates.
