SPECIAL MESSAGE TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS
Eastview High School
January 2013
To EVHS Students and Parents:
Eastview High School is a school about people working together, about relationships, about a talented staff that
cares about students, about exceptional students doing exceptional things, and about supportive and involved
parents. These primary strengths are complemented by an outstanding facility, with state-of-the-art technology and
high quality curricular and cocurricular programs.
This Registration Guide provides a listing of these curricular courses and cocurricular programs, along with a
summary of what students might expect as a result of taking advantage of these opportunities.
For the first eight years of your education, almost all courses were required. In high school, students have a chance
to branch out with electives. Electives provide the opportunity to explore special fields of interest. They also make
it possible to pursue specialized training in preparation for advanced post-high school training or to enter the job
market.
These opportunities place great responsibilities on both parents and students to plan wisely. Carefully read the
information in the next few pages and browse through the course offerings and special programs. Then begin
planning a course of study. In order to select an appropriate school program, students need to consider their
individual abilities, aptitudes, interests, academic strengths and limitations, future career goals, District 196
graduation requirements, and finally, the course offerings at EVHS. Excellent resources for information and
advice are students’ parents, counselors and classroom teachers. In addition, important items of information are
summarized on the following pages. Before registration, decide on a schedule of courses for the remaining year(s)
in high school. Serious thought about an overall plan will provide a sense of purpose and direction. It is important
that course selections for next year are made very carefully. We will tally all course selections and make critical
decisions regarding staffing, room use and dollar allocation based on these selections. Once those decisions are
made, it will be very difficult to change course selections.
We look forward to working with you for the 2013-2014 school year, and in the future at Eastview High School. If
you have questions regarding registration or a specific program, contact your current school counselor. If you have
further questions, please contact us through e-mail at Eastview@district196.org or 952-431-8900.

Information
Daily Schedule
Eastview High School operates on a 7-period day. Most of our classes are one-period in length (50 minutes).
A few of our classes are two-periods in length (approximately 100 minutes) to provide time for the important handson, active learning experiences that are so much a part of these classes (e.g. our Career Development classes and our
“field experience” programs).
Also, some of our classes that are one period in length are scheduled consecutively with another course that is one
period in length, and these two teachers will coordinate their use of time so that two-period opportunities are available and used appropriately in each content area. For example, an English course and a social studies course may be
scheduled consecutively so that time can be adjusted to accommodate both experiences.
Term Length
With our intent to offer classes in both one-period and two-period formats, we will be able to increase the flexibility in
the scheduling of students for the classes they choose using the 9-week/quarter model. At the same time, using the
9-week/quarter model will increase the frequency of feedback to students and parents regarding student progress.
Full Year - 36 weeks
Trimester - 12 weeks. There are three trimesters in a full year.
Quarter -
9 weeks. There are four quarters in a full year.
The majority of the courses at Eastview High School are 9-week, quarter courses. Some courses (School of Environmental Studies courses and Career Development and Enrichment Opportunities courses) will be 12 weeks in length
because students from all district high schools will be attending these courses.
The EVHS Comprehensive Curriculum “Focus, Rigor and Relevance”
Eastview High School offers courses in 15 subject areas, including a full range of special education courses, work
program alternatives and school to work electives. Our comprehensive curriculum is created to provide for a differentiated approach to the unique needs of each individual student. We believe and expect that each student will work
toward some form of post-high school education or training program, i.e. 4 year colleges and university, community
colleges, technical/vocational training programs, military service, etc. These courses are designed to meet the needs
of students across a broad range of abilities, interests and post-high school aspirations. Courses are available that
are designed to provide a broad exposure to academics and experiences in a variety of subject areas, along with opportunities which provide a focus on a career interest or skill.
Advanced Placement and Honors courses are offered across the curriculum to meet the special needs of high-performing students interested in testing and extending their personal and intellectual limits in the classroom. Students
can choose from a variety of demanding course offerings in each department, including Advanced Placement courses
which not only stretch the limits, as indicated above, but offer college-bound students the opportunity to earn college
credit while in high school. The optional Advanced Placement examinations are administered through the nonprofit
College Board for a student-paid fee. Additional opportunities are available for exceptional students including such
courses as the Mentor Program, Student Leadership and Service, College in the Schools and cooperative programs
with local colleges and universities.
i
Special Programs (Special Education and Work Experience) provide a continuum of services for students having
academic, social, emotional or psychological difficulties which may interfere with the teaching/learning experience.
Class Rank
Class rank is determined by the grade point average of the quarter grades. All courses are included except those for
which a pass/no-credit or no-grade mark is assigned. A student may choose to take one course each quarter for a
pass/no-credit mark. There are no weighted grades in the class rank calculation.

Honors Ranking System
Toward encouraging students at Eastview High School to take the most challenging courses they are capable of taking, we incorporate a dual ranking system. Students will receive either a Regular Rank or an Honors Rank. The regular
rank will rank students against all students in the class; the honors rank will rank qualifying honors students against
other honors students who have taken a similarly difficult course schedule.
To qualify for an Honors Rank at Eastview High School, students must meet the following criteria:
•Take at least thirty-two (32) quarter courses of Honors/AP Core Classes throughout grades 9-12. This must include
eight (8) quarter courses in each of the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade years.
•Students must earn a grade of “C” or better for an Honors/AP class to count toward the total/grade-level minimums.
(A “P” grade is considered lower than a “C” grade.)
NOTE: This is not “weighted” grading or ranking. It is simply a “dual” ranking system wherein ONLY students
meeting the above qualifications would have an Honors Rank.
Characteristics of a Student Well-Suited for Honors Courses
1. Works well independently. Seeks help only when necessary. Does not require detailed or repeated directions
from teacher in order to proceed.
2. Is creative. Can think of things to try, or use original methods, when faced with a problem situation.
3. Readily applies learned principles to new situations. Can solve novel problems. Responds well to guided discovery.
4. Responds positively to challenging situations. Shows persistence in searching for solutions. Finds satisfaction
in independently solving a problem rather than accepting another person’s solution or help.
5. Likes to analyze, generalize, derive, prove, abstract; to investigate relationships and alternative solutions.
6. Has a strong intuitive sense for the subject matter. Sorts out key relationships quickly.
7. Shows a high degree of interest and motivation. Is intellectually curious and a critical thinker.
8. Has experienced high achievement in past courses without undue stress. Has not depended on rote learning or
tutoring.
9. Shows above average ability in oral and written expression.
Post High School Readiness
Graduates are encouraged to pursue training or education beyond EVHS. Further education at a four-year college
or university, a community or technical college, or military training enhance employability. Students and families
are able to access a career interest profiler through the Family Connection website. Students also receive information
from the PLAN test taken in October of their sophomore year. Our school counselors also work with our students
in a developmental counseling program that prepares students for their post-high school plans. More information is
available from the EVHS College and Career Center in Student Services.
As a general rule, the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) recommends 4 years of math
and 3 years of science (such as earth science, biology, chemistry). Students planning to pursue courses in e­ ngineering,
ii
architecture or any of the scientific fields should complete courses in beginning algebra, geometry, higher algebra,
trigonometry and AP Calculus. Chemistry and physics are frequently considered essential. Students are strongly
encouraged to enroll in composition, research paper, advanced literature courses and 2-4 years of uninterrupted study
in a world language for college preparation. Having a high school diploma is generally acceptable for admission to
technical and community colleges.
Career/School to Work Options
For those students who are planning a specific career after high school, the courses selected should be chosen with
career preparation in mind. Students should choose courses which provide a broad base of preparation for the future.
Therefore students anticipating a career as the next step after high school should select a variety of subjects.
Good grades are important to students, in addition to the development of a good general school record. The importance of positive attitudes about school, as well as good study habits, should not be underestimated. Prospective
employers are very interested in applicants’ records of absences, tardiness and effort in school work.
Post-high school training opportunities should be explored by students anticipating a career as the next step after high school. Technological advances have increased the need for specialists in many fields. Therefore, students
should strongly consider attending a business, trade or technical school after high school. Many students plan to
further their education in the military. Students who plan to attend a technical school or the Armed Forces should
plan their high school courses accordingly.
A good mathematics background (at least beginning algebra and geometry) is required for post-high school and
Armed Forces training in such fields as drafting, electronics, construction and machine trades. Business, technical
and trade schools are emphasizing the importance of good communication skills in reading, writing, speaking and
listening. Employers often hire applicants with certain expectations about their potential for future advancement.
Minnesota Post-Secondary Enrollment Option
Eligible juniors and seniors at Eastview High School may enroll at Minnesota post-secondary colleges on a full or
part-time basis. Students may take classes for secondary and post-secondary credit. The purposes of the program are
to promote rigorous educational pursuits and to provide a wider variety of options for students. Interested students
should make an appointment with their counselor prior to registration to discuss this option.
Independent Study/Academic Enrichment
Independent study/academic enrichment provides an opportunity for an in-depth study in a selected area of interest.
Qualifications for independent study/academic enrichment include completion of prerequisite background classes,
a 3.0 cumulative G.P.A., and satisfactory mastery of related skills and technical information. In addition, to assure a
student’s ability to successfully study on an independent level, the student must display a high interest in the subject
area, shown evidence of self motivation and self discipline, and display leadership qualities and initiative. Previous
outside exploration of the subject will be considered an advantage for the applicant. The student will have completed
a majority of the coursework in the area of interest of the department granting approval of the independent study.
Students should contact their counselor to discuss this option. A fee may be assessed for this enrichment option.
Students may receive credit through the District 196 Credit by Assessment process.
Pass/No-Credit System
Students may take one course (.75 credit) each quarter (3 credits each year) on a “Pass/No-Credit” basis. This option
is to encourage students to explore interests in a subject and yet not risk receiving a low grade.
Procedure: Students must apply within the first 15 school days of the quarter. Written permission of parents is
required. Application forms are available in the Guidance and Counseling Office. “Pass/No-Credit” students will
take all tests, turn in all regular class work and receive marks along with the other students. The final mark will be a
“Pass” if the student completes all work at the passing level. The final mark will be “No-Credit” if the student does
iii
not complete all work at the passing level. A credit toward graduation will be granted for a “Pass” mark. No credit
toward graduation will be granted for a “No-Credit” mark. Subjects taken on the “Pass/No-Credit” basis will not be
averaged into a student’s class rank or honor roll standing. However, overall class rank may be affected for students
choosing the “Pass/No-Credit” option due to the honor point/credits attempted mathematical conversion. The EVHS
attendance policy will be in affect for students choosing the Pass/No-Credit option. A class taken through the Pass/
No-Credit option will not count toward the Honors Ranking System.
If a student is taking a class on the Pass/No-Credit basis and is removed from class by an administrator, the student
will receive a grade of “F” for the course and be assigned to transitional study hall for the remainder of the quarter.
The NCAA may accept the Pass/No-Credit option for core academic courses by applying a “D-” as the grade for the
course for a “P” grade earned.
9th Grade Core Program
We will make the transition into high school for our incoming 9th graders a positive and successful experience. Each
9th grader will be assigned to a team of teachers who will teach in the content area of English/Language Arts, Social
Studies, and possibly Science. Collectively, this team of teachers will build relationships with this group of students
and their parents and set the expectations and tone for their next four years at Eastview High School. This team will
teach additional skills to all of our 9th graders in such areas as study skills, decision making, goal setting, problem
solving, conflict resolution, technology and awareness of opportunities that are available at Eastview High School.
This team of teachers will also monitor student progress and provide timely feedback to parents and students. Developing this heightened awareness, building these important skills, and monitoring progress will increase the success
for students at Eastview High School.
Course Sequencing
Selected courses may be offered in a 9 or 18 week, two-period format. The scheduling of courses in this manner provides for greater focus through in-depth teaching, learning and guided practice. Course sequencing will also provide
opportunities to implement a variety of instructional methods in order to meet individual student learning styles,
more time in the period to teach/learn concepts, and a strengthening of the teacher/student relationship through a
longer class period.
Human Sexuality and HIV/AIDS Prevention Curriculum
District 196 teaches students human sexuality curriculum and HIV/AIDS prevention curriculum. Course descriptions
in this catalog identify where this curriculum is taught. If you would like specific information about what is taught
in these areas, please contact your school principal. Parents who are uncomfortable with the curriculum after talking
with the principal/designee may withhold their student from specific class sessions in which these curricula are taught.
Failures and Incompletes
When a student is having academic difficulty in a class, the teacher should be consulted for assistance. It is also suggested that the student inform his/her counselor of the problem, especially if grades in more than one class are being
affected.
Students who fail a required class should see their counselor without delay to make arrangements for repeating
the course. Failure to make up required courses will jeopardize a students’ graduation. Credits for failed elective
subjects must also be made up.
The advice of the school counselor must be sought in deciding which classes are to be repeated and where substitute
credits are acceptable. This would also apply to students who receive grades of NG or Failure due to poor attendance.
NOTE: Students receiving a failing grade may not have the opportunity to make-up the credit during the school day.
The after school option or summer school will be the primary method of course failure make-up.
Incomplete grades are assigned at the discretion of the teacher to those students who have not completed required
class assignments/expectations or who have not met course outcomes and competencies during the quarter. When
iv
students receive an “Incomplete” grade, they should see their teacher as soon as possible to arrange for needed make
up work. The deadline for making up an incomplete grade is Friday of the 2nd week in the next quarter. Incomplete
grades that are not made up will result in failure of the course and loss of credit.
Transfer Credits
Students requesting the transfer of credits earned in other educational settings (alternative schools, summer college
courses, language camps, etc.) must obtain written permission from the principal prior to participating in the educational experience.
Early Graduation
Seniors interested in graduating early should discuss this option with their counselor during their junior year to ensure
all graduation requirements are covered. Students will be asked to complete an Early Graduation Application. Upon
approval by the parent, counselor and assistant principal the students’ schedule will be created to accommodate an
early graduation.
EVHS Cocurricular Programs
District 196 believes that cocurricular programs play a substantial and important role in providing successful and
meaningful educational experiences for students. In addition to a comprehensive list of courses, Eastview High School
offers a wide variety of school activities to meet students’ interests and needs. These cocurricular activities provide
at least four educational benefits for students.
1. They promote cognitive, affective and psycho-motor growth and development.
2. They are well-guided activities which utilize student time in an excellent educational environment.
3. They provide opportunities for students to find new friends.
4. They promote good self-concept, positive school attitudes and better school academic achievement.
Eastview High School suggests that all students participate in at least one or more cocurricular activities during the
year. Listed on the next page are cocurricular activities available to students.
Academic Honors Criteria
Eastview graduate re recognized in the following areas: National Honor, Advanced Placement Scholars, President’s
Education Award, Honor Graduate, Graduate with High Honors, Graduate with Highest Honors and STEM Scholars.

Academic Achievement Recognition
Students in grades 9-12 at Eastview High School will be eligible for academic achievement awards in one or more of
the following categories:
Category 1: Academic Lettering
Students in grades 9-12 will be awarded an academic letter based on the attainment of a specified GPA during a
specified period of time. Students must meet ONE of the following criteria:
a) Attainment of a "cumulative GPA" as follows (measured after the third quarter each year):
9th graders: 3.800 or higher (regular rank) or 3.700 or higher (honors rank)
10th graders: 3.666 or higher (regular rank) or 3.566 or higher (honors rank)
11th graders: 3.666 or higher (regular rank) or 3.566 or higher (honors rank)
12th graders: 3.500 or higher (regular rank) or 3.400 or higher (honors rank)
b) F
our consecutive quarters with a quarter GPA = 3.666 or higher (measured during any four consecutive quarters
within or across grade levels).
Category 2: Improvement in Quarter GPA
Students in grades 9-12 who show at least a .75 improvement in their quarter GPA (from one quarter to the next, within
or across grade levels) will be awarded a certificate of recognition for this achievement.
Cocurricular Programs Requiring a Study Hall
Participation in a cocurricular program may require a student to enroll in a specific study hall (first or seventh period)
which will be used for practice. This requirement is due to the restricted availability of certain practice facilities beyond the control of EVHS. Programs which require a study hall include boys golf (register for Study D); boys’ hockey
[register for Study B & C (hockey may be first or seventh)]; girls’ hockey [register for Study B (hockey may be first or
seventh)]. Students participating in cocurricular activities not requiring a cocurricular study hall may NOT register for
the courses below. Rather, these students may register for a regular study hall that may be scheduled during any one
of the seven periods during the school day. NOTE: Students may not register for a cocurricular study hall without
the written permission of a head coach.
2213 Q2 Cocurricular Study B Grades 9, 10, 11, 12
Prerequisite: Permission from boys’ or girls’ hockey head coach
2214 Q3 Cocurricular Study C Grades 9, 10, 11, 12
Prerequisite: Permission from boys’ hockey head coach
2215 Q4 Cocurricular Study D
Prerequisite: Permission from boys’ or girls’ golf head coach
Grades 9, 10, 11, 12
Student Registration and Scheduling Steps
There are two major steps for students in planning their next year’s program of studies: (1) registration and (2) scheduling. During January EVHS Registration Guides and Registration Forms for the following year are distributed. Students
then register for courses by selecting their programs of study for the next school year. Based on student registration
data, the school administration will determine courses/sections to be offered, staff needed and a master schedule of
classes for the next year. Therefore, students should register with care and after consultation with parents.
After students’ registration plans have been approved by parents and counselors, classes are computer-scheduled for
all four quarter terms. Following scheduling, schedule changes will only be approved for the reasons listed below
in the “Schedule Change” section. Changes are not accepted after the 3rd school day of each quarter.
January/February
Students in grades 8-11 register for courses they plan to take during the upcoming school
year. During these two months, students/parents may visit with their counselor and finalize
their registration selections.
vi
April
Students in grades 8-11 are provided copies of their registration and are asked to review for
errors.
April/July
Student requests are computer loaded into the master schedule; budgets are finalized; staff
is hired.
August
Quarter 1 and 2 Online Schedule Review and Change Requests
• S
tudents will review schedules and request corrections through the online process.
• There will not be a schedule review opportunity during Quarter 1 for Quarter 2.
• Schedules will be revised prior to the first day of school via the online process and students
will receive their final schedules during a homeroom on the first day of school.
January
Quarters 3 and 4 Online Schedule Review and Change Requests
• S
tudents will review schedules for Quarters 3 & 4 and request corrections through the
online process following winter vacation.
• There will not be a schedule review opportunity during Quarter 3 for Quarter 4.
• Students in grade 12 will meet with their counselor in order to assure appropriate credit
status for graduation.
• Students in grades 9-11 will initiate schedule change requests through the online process.
Emergency Schedule Change Requests after the start of each quarter (Meet with a Counselor)
Students may make emergency changes during the first 3 days of each quarter with input
from counselor, case manager, teacher or administrator for the following reasons:
• L
evel change – a class is determined to be too difficult (teacher input is required along
with a description of intervention strategies from previous quarter).
• Student has not met a necessary prerequisite (teacher input is required).
• Make up or add a required course for graduation.
• Changes initiated at counselor/administrator/teacher discretion.
This is the final opportunity to make student/parent-initiated changes to the schedule.
Graduation Requirements
The majority of the courses at Eastview High School are 9 weeks in length. The Career Development courses are 12
weeks in length. The 12-week courses are worth one credit and the 9-week courses will be worth .75 credit.
To be eligible for graduation, a student must have earned a total of 66 credits (minimum) in grades 9 through 12.
Many students accumulate far more than the minimum number of credits during their high school studies. All students are encouraged to select more than the minimum of required courses in order to take advantage of the broad
scope of course offerings available.
Eastview High School operates on a seven-period school day, and the majority of the courses are 9 weeks in length,
.75 credit each. If a student takes (and passes) 7 courses each quarter, he/she will have earned 21 credits toward
graduation; (7 courses) x (.75 credit) x (4 quarters) = 21 credits earned that year. Students may take a study hall, for
which no credit is given.
For those students who have taken course work in a trimester system (e.g. Apple Valley, Eagan or Rosemount High
Schools) prior to coming to Eastview, you will already notice that the transfer of credit will be a simple process. For
example, you were required to take a full year sequence of 12 week science courses in 9th grade (Earth Science A, B
and C) each course worth one credit, for a total of 3 credits.
vii
Full Year = 3 trimesters
1st Trimester
one course = 1 credit
One single period trimester course = 1.0 credit
2nd Trimester
one course = 1 credit
3rd Trimester
one course = 1 credit
One Full Year Course = 3.0 Credits
9th grade students at Eastview High School will also be required to take a full-year sequence of Earth Science courses.
These courses will be 9 weeks in length ( Earth Science A, B, C and D) each course worth .75 credit for a total of 3 credits.
FULL YEAR = 4 QUARTERS
1st Quarter
One single period quarter course = .75 credit
2nd Quarter
3rd Quarter
4th Quarter
one course = .75 one course = .75 one course = .75 one course =.75 One Full Year Course =
credit
credit
credit
credit
3.0 Credits
This is one of many similar examples that demonstrates the comparison between the trimester system and the quarter
system.
NOTE: Some courses meet for more than one class period and are worth more credit. These exceptions are noted
in department course descriptions. The number of courses taken each year will depend upon student individual
needs and interests. An 11/12 grade student should be enrolled for 3.75 or more credits each quarter. A 9/10 grade
student should be enrolled for 4.50 or more credits each quarter.
Summarized on the following pages are the general registration requirements for each grade.

Science, Technology, Engineering & Math
(STEM) Opportunities
Four Year Academic Planning
The U.S. will require more than 1.2 million job openings in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)-related
occupations by 2018. Yet, there will be a significant shortage of qualified college graduates to fill these careers.
80% of jobs in the next decade will require technology skills (Massachusetts STEM Advisory Council 2011).
STEM occupations are growing by 17.8% while others are growing by 7.8% (U.S. Department of Commerce, Economics, and
Statistics Administration, July, 2011).
The following information profiles the opportunities students are offered to engage in STEM education. The course pathways
outlined below prepare students with critical STEM skills that will enable them to join a workforce of problem-solvers,
innovators, and inventors who are self-reliant and able to think logically.

Advanced Placement Program
Eastview High School offers
courses in 17 Advanced Placement
Courses in six content areas.
These courses are developed and
approved by The College Board
and taught by Eastview teachers.
Students will receive high school
credit for AP courses and will
take AP exams in the spring to
receive college credit or placement
into upper level college classes.
This allows students to skip
introductory classes and/or fulfill
general education requirements.
These courses send a powerful message to colleges and universities
that a student is well prepared for
the rigor of the college or university curriculum and can enable
students to gain admission, college
credit and placement into advanced
courses. Exam results are sent by
the College Board to the colleges
that students choose which can
then be used to enable students to
gain admission, college credit, or
placement into advanced courses.
College credit may allow students
to move into upper-level college
courses sooner, pursue a double
major or gain time to study and
travel abroad. At many colleges and
universities, students can earn up to
a full year of college credit or more
once they have attained a sufficient
number of qualifying AP exam
grades. Ninety percent of the nation’s
colleges plus institutions in 24 other
countries, grant students admission,
credit and/or placement
for qualifying AP Exam grades.
Taking an AP exam lets you experience a college level exam. Your AP
Exam grades could earn you academic scholarships and awards. Your
AP experience will stand out with
college admissions offices and your
willingness to commit yourself to
academic excellence will make you
better prepared for college.
“Students who have prepared for
and taken the AP Exams adapt more
easily to taking college essay exams,
and are especially skilled in including a thesis and a well-developed
argument. They are also less intimidated by sophisticated, college-level
multiple-choice questions that
seek to test understanding over
memorization.”
-Robert Blackey, Professor of History,
CSU, San Berardino

Art Courses
All courses offered by this department satisfy the 1 course “Minnesota Arts Standard” requirement.
The visual arts program is designed for students with the desire to express themselves through art media, enrich their
cultural awareness and, for some, explore career possibilities. The art courses are organized on a discipline-based approach which incorporates production, history, evaluation, and aesthetic understanding. It is the goal of the art program
to provide students with a journey of artistic discovery for creative self expression and personal fulfillment while using
right brain functions considered essential for tomorrow’s leaders, inventors, thinkers and artists.
The EVHS Art Department is designed with introductory courses which MUST be taken before entering the classes of
concentrated study. The introductory classes offer a foundation of artistic study by letting the student sample a variety
of art media and projects as well as work with the elements and principles of art and design which are fundamental to
all art forms. Since the introductory classes are the gateway into the courses of concentrated study, it is strongly suggested that the seriously interested student take Introduction to 2-Dimensional Art and Introduction to 3-Dimensional
Art the first year, thus meeting requirements for all other classes.
A sketchbook is recommended in all introductory courses.
Fees will be assessed in all courses for project materials that are kept by the student.
Please see the Eastview Web Site for a complete course listing and course descriptions of Art Courses
that support your specific need and interests.

Engineering and Technologies
Across the Curriculum Courses
Technology and Engineering connects a STEM focus with a strong academic foundation rooted in the knowledge used
to solve complex problems. One goal of the courses within this department is to provide an opportunity for students
to utilize their knowledge across all disciplines both inside and outside of the scientific, technological, engineering and
mathematical realms. Students will gain experience to intuitively leverage existing resources to accomplish tasks
independently using STEM techniques. A focus of the courses will be to emphasize independent thinking and problem
solving while integrating real world issues with theories.
NOTE: Students may contribute to a consumable materials fund for project supplies that are not reusable.

Mathematics/Statistics/
Computer Science Courses
We strongly recommend that all students take four years of mathematics in grades 9-12. Many colleges and universities are requiring three years and recommending four years of high school-level mathematics, along with experience
in computer applications or programming. Vocational and technical schools also require a strong math background
for many of their programs. In order to prepare for post-secondary studies, students can benefit from a well-chosen
plan of mathematical coursework that is appropriate for them. With this in mind, the Mathematics Department offers
courses that are sequential and appropriate to meet each student’s plan for the future.
To fulfill graduation requirements, all students are required to complete twelve quarter courses (three years). Computer
Science credits do not count toward the mathematics graduation requirement, but are recommended for students considering post secondary training. Incoming ninth graders are enrolled in a math course based on input from the eighth
grade math teacher, previous grades in mathematics, standardized test scores, and student/parent choice.
Calculators:
Intermediate Algebra and Geometry:
A scientific calculator is needed for courses in Intermediate Algebra and Geometry. We recommend the TI-30X or
TI-30X II (solar).
Algebra-2, CAPS, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and AP Statistics:
A graphing calculator is necessary for courses Algebra-2, CAPS, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Statistics. Texas Instruments makes several user friendly calculators. Because the TI-83 and TI-84 series calculators are used for classroom
demonstrations and discussion, the Eastview Math Department strongly recommends these models to students. Due
to lack of ease in use or missing applications, we do NOT recommend the TI-85 or TI-86. The TI-92 is not allowed on
tests and college entrance exams and therefore is discouraged. The TI-89 is not allowed on the ACT Exam. Questions may be referred to the Math Department Coordinator.
Students who are interested in taking two math courses concurrently should consult with their math teacher. The preferred combination for doubling up is Geometry and Algebra-2. Doubling up requires a very strong math aptitude,
commitment to extra study outside of class, and teacher recommendation.
It is very important that you register for the mathematics/statistics class that best fits your background, skills,
scholarly habits and future plans. Changing to a different course partway through the school year can be a
very difficult situation, and there is no guarantee that a change could happen. You are advised to register for
the course that you are most likely to learn the most in and complete successfully, not just “try out”. If you are
uncertain about correct registration and placement, please see your counselor or current math teacher. Near
the end of the school year, re-check your registration and make any necessary changes at that time.

World Languages
The study of another language opens doors to multiple opportunities. For example, the ability to function in a second
language has become a much-desired skill in the business world. Language study also aids personal growth by helping students expand their viewpoints and cultural knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and increase English
vocabulary and awareness. Encounters with another language, whether at home or abroad, are enriched through
second language study. Additionally, language is a recommendation and often a requirement for college. For these
reasons, the World Languages Department strongly encourages all students to take three to four uninterrupted years
of one of the following languages: French, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese or Spanish.
Gaining an advantage in college is sometimes possible for students who successfully finish a four-or-five-year sequence
in one language in high school. These students often find that they
• have completed their college's language requirement,
• may be granted college credit for what they learned in high school,
• may test out of the language requirement
• or may be placed in an advanced course at their college.
Juniors and seniors at Eastview can opt to earn college credit for some language courses without leaving the campus.
Consult the Eastview on-line registration web site for more specific information or contact your language teacher. Fees
may be required for some of these courses.
Students who are interested in careers in international business, the travel industry, the United States Department of
Defense, diplomacy and, of course, language teaching, may choose to start a second world language in high school
while continuing the study of their first language.
NOTE: Placement of students with native capacities will be a decision of the World Language Department staff
with prior approvals.
NOTE: All of the following courses except the immersion, travel abroad experiences, assistantship courses and
the ELL peer tutoring course are year long. Students must register for the entire sequence.
NOTE: Purchase of a workbook and/or dictionary is strongly recommended in some courses.

Career Development

Opportunities Courses
Career Development and Enrichment Opportunities courses are designed to take students into the 21st Century international workforce. Business and community leaders across the nation indicate that students must have a sound
academic background combined with the ability to apply what they have learned to succeed in the workforce. The
Career Development and Enrichment Opportunities courses will help students select career areas on which to focus
that can lead to appropriate post-secondary training with no limitations on level of advanced degree to which a student
might aspire.

for the Career Development and Enrichment Opportunities Program. See your counselor for additional information.
Transportation: Students must provide their own transportation.
Availability: Classes will operate on a space available basis with priority for seniors followed by juniors.
Term Length: Courses are 12-weeks in length and are organized in a full year, three trimester sequence.
