Course Enrollment and Information

Xello is a research-based foundational tool that helps students create purpose in school, while exploring who they are and what they want from life. The program allows students to:

• build self-knowledge through Matchmaker, Personality Style, Mission Complete, Learning Style and Skills Lab surveys
• explore options through extensive troves of data on careers, majors and schools
• create a plan by allowing students to save careers, majors and schools that provide the pathway to the desired outcome
• collect their skills, grades and experiences then build a high school resume at the click of a button
• plan their high school classes and submit their plan for the subsequent school year during the enrollment period

There are four minimum components of a student’s Individual Plan of Study (IPS):

1. A graduated series of strengthsfinder and career interest inventories to help students identify preference toward career clusters. 
2. Eighth- through 12-grade course-builder function with course selections based on career interests. 
3. A general post secondary plan (workforce, military, certification program, two- or four-year college). 
4. A portable electronic portfolio. 

The process is implemented by the school to guide students in developing future plans.  A student’s IPS is developed cooperatively between the student, school staff member and family members. 

Individual Plan of Study elements include:

•     Documentation of Career Interests
•     Records of courses a student takes in high school aligned to goals
•     Yearly benchmarks for reaching annual goals
•     Written postsecondary goals and plan 
•     Portfolio
•     Records of internship/dual credit/certifications/other opportunities
•     Academic assessment scores
•     Postsecondary financial plan
•     Tracking of applications to multiple postsecondary institutions

See the Kansas Department of Education's website for more information.

• Students have the first 3 school days of each term to request a change to their schedule. A signed schedule change form must be completed prior to 3pm on the third day of the new term.
• Any student who is withdrawn from one class or all classes after the third day of the term has begun may receive a WF (Withdraw/ Fail) designation on their transcript.  This policy can be waived only at the discretion of the building principal.   
• Students who are withdrawn for documented medical reasons can receive a MD (Medical Withdrawal) designation on their transcript.  Documentation must be provided in the form of a written doctor’s statement indicating the student’s inability to attend or achieve due to medical reasons.  

Schedule Change Form

Participation in the College Board's Advanced Placement Program enables students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. AP teachers participate in AP workshops where they receive intensive training on the content and methods of teaching AP courses.

AP exams administered each May give students the opportunity to earn college credit. Because of the high standards of AP over 90% of the nation's colleges and universities have an AP policy granting students credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP exam grades. The college policy determines the exam grades that qualify.

AP not only gives students the opportunity to earn college credits but AP's rigor also prepares students to succeed in college. These courses involve much more time due to the difficult coursework. Students must carefully decide if they will be able to meet the expectations of the class.

Students may select from AP courses in: Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, English Literature, Government, Statistics and United States History, Computer Programming and Physics.

• APUSH (AP US History) & AP Biology are yearlong classes.
• AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, & AP Literature, are all 2nd semester classes.
• AP Government classes are offered 1st semester
