Congratulations, Scott High School Class of 2015! What a great year at Scott High.  Thank you parents, students, teachers, and staff for all of your hard work and commitment. As we say good bye to our seniors, we are already working hard to prepare for the start of another school year this fall. School starts Aug. 19th, and we have high expectations for another great year.

Dual Credit Classes for 2015-2016

We currently have almost 100 students scheduled to take a dual credit college class as a dual enrolled student in 2015-2016 school year.  In addition to a variety of AP classes, we offer several dual credit options on campus at Scott each year.  Dual credit and AP courses will receive weight in the KEES GPA calculation.   

 If you are interested in signing up for dual credit classes for the 2015-2016 school year, it is not too late.  Any class you take at a college will be counted as a dual credit class at Scott.  Please contact Mr. Rogers or your counselor if you have questions.

Schedules for 2015-2016 School Year

We are currently working hard on completing student schedules for the 2015-2016 school year.  Preliminary schedules were provided to students the last day of school for 2015-2016 Scott High School students. The master schedule has been developed, but it is likely that a few adjustments will need to be made in response to student needs. We will continue to work on schedules throughout the summer to assure the best overall schedule for all of our students at Scott High School:

If you currently have an incomplete schedule it may be for several different reasons:

• Some of the classes you signed up for did not have enough students to make the 2015-2016 schedule
• Some of the classes you signed up for may be in conflict (be scheduled for the same period)
• You may not have chosen classes for which you are qualified
• You may have not provided viable alternative classes

We continually work on schedules. Please be patient as counselors and administrators do get some summer vacation, but we will address your concerns as we can.

Your schedule could change for several different reasons, including but not limited to:

• If you do not pass a class, this could cause your current schedule to be re-evaluated
• If you need a specialized class (like an RTI class) we may need to alter your schedule in order to get all of your needed classes
• If the school experiences some unforeseen change in staffing which causes certification issues, we may have to eliminate and/or change some class offerings.

While we are projected to have 879 students in the fall of 2015, if we end up with more or less students the result could be more schedule changes in order to have a school wide schedule which best benefits our entire student body.

Counselors will be in the office until June 9 and after Aug 5. We plan on making schedules visible on line through infinite campus on Aug 8.

Become College and Career Ready (CCR)

Often you may hear a student, or an adult, ask the question "Are you CCR?", but what do they mean?  CCR is short for College and Career Ready. This term is actually referring to two different categories, College Ready and Career Ready.

* A student is considered College Ready when they demonstrate the minimum required level of performance on an approved assessment such as ACT, KYOTE, or Compass. Achieving College Ready status implies a student is ready for education at the next level, college, and will likely not be required to take remedial classes as a college student.

* In order for a student to be considered Career Ready they must first achieve a College Ready Status, complete an approved Career Pathway, and pass an approved industry level assessment such as KOSSA. Achieving Career Ready status may allow a student early acceptance into specific college programs as well as increase the chances of employment.

Get Involved

Are you wondering how you can get involved with activities as Scott High School? Would you be willing to volunteer time or provide input into issues and policies at Scott High School? We would love to get you more involved. Here are a few ways you could get involved:

* Principal Chat-Dr. Sapp has a question answer session each 2nd Tuesday of the month at 5:30 pm. This "chat" takes place just before the SBDM meeting, so you could also stay for the council meeting as well.

* SBDM-Scott's School Based Decision Making Council meets each 2nd Tuesday at 6:00 pm. To view minutes, agendas, by-laws, and policies visit our website.

* Eagle Club-The Eagle Club is a parent group that meets each 4th Monday night at 6:00 pm. The Eagle club supports many extracurricular and curricular based programs at Scott.

* Parent Committees-there is a standing SBDM committee, which utilizes parents, in order to advise our SBDM council in the areas of Culture and Curriculum. If you are interested in participating, please contact Lisa Beckelhimer at lbeckelhimer@twc.com .

* Other Clubs-we have many clubs at Scott which are always looking for volunteers and additional community involvement. To see a list of clubs visit http://www.scott.kcactivities.org/  

We look forward to hearing from you.

As we move into the next school year, we will review specific expectations to keep them fresh in the students' minds. Before fall classes begin, each of you will receive a letter, please refer to the policies below as well as The Kenton County School District Code of Expected Behavior and Conduct.
