JUNIOR HIGH


An exciting new phase of education lies ahead for youngsters entering junior high school. The challenge of a new environment and an expanded curriculum affords students the opportunity to grow both socially and intellectually. In addition to refining the skills of elementary school, the junior high school program introduces students to areas of study which they may wish to pursue more intensively in senior high school.

The areas of study offered in all junior high school programs include English, social studies, mathematics, science, health, physical education, art, music, computer essentials, family and consumer sciences, technology, and LOTE (Languages other than English). In addition, each student who is at risk receives supportive instruction in a small group setting.

Students who score on level one on one or more of the state assessments will be provided with additional small group instruction designed to enable them to improve their performance in the academic areas.

Mid-point in the eighth grade, students and their parents meet with guidance counselors to select a ninth grade program that is best suited to the students' needs and abilities.

SENIOR HIGH

The senior high program is designed to satisfy both the needs and interests of students. To insure the development of individual potential and to provide students with adequate preparation for college entrance, post-graduate employment, or further technical training, the curriculum encompasses a broad spectrum of diversified courses of study from which appropriate choices can be made.

Senior high students may choose majors in different phases of art, music, family and consumer science, LOTE, mathematics, science, or career and technology education. As in the junior high, senior high students receive small group supportive instruction.

Students who demonstrate a need will be provided with additional small group instruction designed to enable them to improve their academic performance.

In addition to the courses offered in our district, expanded opportunities for career training are available through the Nassau County Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), which offers additional courses in career and technical education. Students may attend BOCES on a half-day basis while continuing their academic studies in their home schools.


GENERAL INFORMATION

SUPPORTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES

To insure that every student will be the direct recipient of improved services for instructional support, it is the intent of the Board that all students receive supportive instructional services in one or more small groups during part of the regular instruction.

SPECIAL SERVICES
There are several programs within the school which provide special services. To meet these special needs, the district:
• operates special education classes or resource room programs for students who are classified by the Committee for Special Education;
• arranges for students with disabilities to attend special schools operated by the Board of Cooperative Educational Services of Nassau County (BOCES);
• offers a wide choice of vocational and technical programs in which students attend the senior high school for half a day and a BOCES operated school for the remainder of the day;
• provides home instruction for pupils who are unable to attend school for an extended period of time because of illness or accident. Parents should apply to the school if such instruction is necessary.
• AIS: Academic Intervention Services

READING SKILLS
Reading skills are recognized by educators to be an essential requirement for achievement in all academic areas. To help refine the reading ability of students, the reading teachers in each building:
• consult with classroom teachers on reading skills and techniques;
• act as advisers and demonstrators when teachers request guidance in reading techniques;
• prepare developmental skill materials for all subject areas;
• review textbooks and recreational reading for appropriate levels;
• give reading support to small groups of students.

SPEECH, LANGUAGE, AND HEARING PROGRAM
The ability to speak effectively is important to the students not only within the school situation, but in social and community contacts as well. To help improve communications skills, teachers of speech and hearing are available to:
• evaluate incoming students to determine their need for speech, language, and/or hearing services;
• provide remediation to speech, language, and hearing impaired students at all grade levels;
• assist teachers in other departments in presenting fundamental principles of speaking techniques.

LIBRARY MEDIA PROGRAM
The resources and services of the library media program are a fundamental part of the educational process. The chief goal of the program in each school is to support, implement, enrich, and vitalize the total educational program. To achieve this goal the library media program has the following specific objectives:
• to provide resources and services which will meet the developmental needs of the curriculum and the personal needs of the students;
• to provide professional guidance in the use of library resources and services which will personalize teaching and individualize learning;
• to provide library resources and guidance which will promote the student’s interest in self-directed learning.

The library media specialists instruct students in the following:
• finding appropriate materials for projects such as reports, research papers, reviews, or debates;
• creating original media materials and presentations;
• learning how to use essential library tools, electronic guides, and computers to find information.
The library media specialists also assist and encourage students in the following:
• finding answers to specific questions that arise from classroom assignments or from intellectual curiosity;
• working alone or as a group member on a joint project;
• reading for their own enjoyment or with guidance as needed.

SCHOLARSHIPS
A wide variety of scholarships are available to seniors, such as those awarded by the New York State Colleges and Universities, Civic Groups, PTAs, and other organizations. Scholarships for children of deceased or disabled veterans are also available.
Announcements of available scholarships are made by the guidance department and are posted on bulletin boards. It is the responsibility of the student, however, to contact the guidance office for the necessary forms.
An extensive file of scholarship information is always available in the guidance office.

COLLEGE CREDIT FOR SENIORS
College-level courses and college credit are available to students through the Advanced Placement Program (AP) and the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB). Qualified students may take AP examinations in May; CLEP examinations are usually given once a month in various regional centers. Information on both of these programs may be obtained in the guidance office of each building.

ART



Instruction in art provides students with a formal educational opportunity to develop their creative imaginations, to use their hands, and to gain satisfaction through the expression of their own ideas. The practice of art provides cognitive learning experiences and encourages aesthetic development. By affording opportunities to experience pride in accomplishment, the study of art increases concepts of self-worth. The benefits of art study may ultimately be realized in vocational choices and/or in meaningful avocational involvements with the arts. A background in the fine arts is valuable for students interested in fashion, advertising, and photography. Studio in Art is a requirement for students meeting their fine arts requirement through art.

 

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION

The Valley Stream High School District provides an extensive career and technical education program in the fields of Business Education, Family and Consumer Sciences, and Technology. In addition, we offer excellent career preparation programs in six curriculum areas. They are described in detail in the section entitled Career Preparation Programs. Study may lead to graduation sequences and provide students with life skills for success in their future endeavors.
Other career preparation programs can be pursued at BOCES. Students are transported to and from BOCES classes on a half-day basis. Further information on the variety of BOCES programs offered is available in each guidance office.
All students pursuing a Career and Technical Education sequence in our district or at BOCES must pass both the Introduction to Occupations course and the state proficiency examination.
Interdisciplinary sequences are also available for students to combine course work in two areas of interest. For specific possibilities, consult the guidance department or career and technical educator.

This one-year vocational program is designed to prepare students for Child Development Associate certification, a national certification for child care. This program is also recommended for those planning to pursue a career in early childhood education.

 

COMPUTER STUDIES

Computer technology has become an integral part of our lives. Colleges are now requiring students majoring in many fields to take computer courses. Computer education on the secondary level should include an exposure to various applications of computer technology as well as programming. Whether future plans include attending college or not, a familiarity with computer systems and their uses will provide students with the background necessary for further study and employment.
The Valley Stream Central High School District’s computer science offerings provide opportunities for all students to take computer courses. Computer Applications is open to all students and is designed to make them aware of the importance and usefulness of this rapidly advancing technology. Students wishing to pursue a formal course of study can take a sequence of courses including Computer Programming, Advanced Computer Programming, and C++, each of which carries one-half unit of credit, and AP Computer Science, which is a one-credit college level course.

b. Passing any of the courses listed above.
c. Taking the Computer Essentials Course.

ENGLISH

Students in grades seven through twelve complete a syllabus based on New York State standards which integrates reading, writing, listening, speaking, literature and language. The basic concepts in each of these strands are introduced to students during their elementary education and higher order application of those skills are reinforced in succeeding grade levels. While the dominant emphasis of the program is on a development of skills based on prior learning, actual instruction is predicated on a student’s instructional need at any given moment.

AIS (Academic Intervention Services) and SIS (Supportive Instructional Services) in reading and writing are provided as a regular part of the English program for appropriate grade levels in each school. The district's AIS program provides additional services for those students who score below Level 3 on the Terra Nova exam or ELA 8 assessment. To keep pace with modern technology, students are also provided Computer Assisted Instruction, which involves students in the writing process and language study. The Grade 8 ELA state assessment is given each spring. Students also take a comprehensive Regents examination in English at the end of the eleventh grade. This is required for graduation. Many students are then prepared for the Advanced Placement English exam in the twelfth grade.

In addition to required English courses, a number of semester electives provide an opportunity for many of the students to be engaged in associated language arts skills areas such as public speaking or journalism. A description of reading course offerings appears on page 27.

 

READING
038/040 Reading Skills
037/039 Reading 9

The reading programs in the Valley Stream Central High School District are designed for students in grades seven through nine who are reading below grade level and demonstrate a need for remediation. (Students in grades 7 and 8 will receive remedial reading instruction in English/Reading 7 and English/Reading 8.) A student’s placement in a reading program is based on the following criteria: guidance counselor evaluation, testing programs, standardized test scores, and teacher evaluation. Reading support is within the context areas of English, science, social studies and math.

The following skills will be reinforced: vocabulary, word recognition, interpretation, comprehension, writing and study skills. Content area textbooks are used in conjunction with consultant teacher designed materials. The goal of the reading program is to enable students to transfer reading skills to all subject areas.

 

ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS

ELL is an academic discipline designed to allow students grades seven through twelve to acquire English language proficiencies across the major skill areas of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and critical thinking in a systematic and spiraling fashion. ELL instruction serves as a focal point for the introduction and reinforcement of concepts of cross-cultural understanding and social responsibility. It plays a major role in providing ELL students the opportunity to acquire English proficiency, and the academic, cognitive, and cultural knowledge they need to become active participants in the larger society.

Supportive Instructional Services is provided after school in English, Math, Social Studies and Science. These tutorial services are provided by NYS certified teachers. At the start of the school year, incoming ELL students and their parents participate in an orientation program. Throughout the year Parent Advisory meetings are held.

HEALTH EDUCATION

Health Education on the junior and senior high levels is mandated by the State Education Department. Each level includes instruction in the areas of mental health, consumer health, family life and human sexuality, substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, tobacco), nutrition, disease prevention, including instruction about A.I.D.S. (HIV infection), and safety and first aid. Instruction, based upon the students’ maturity, focuses upon the development of the individual’s self-esteem and his/her ability to develop responsible decision-making skills. It also promotes healthful behaviors and reflects the goals of the New York State Learning Standards for Health Education.

 


LOTE
Languages Other Than English

The study of another language is quite practical and rewarding. Colleges prefer a background in foreign language study although some may not require it. There are many fields which require knowledge of a second language (government agencies, import-export business, the travel industry, etc.) and a foreign language background is a decided advantage for employment, especially in the metropolitan area.

Because the sequential study of a foreign language proceeds by level, all offerings in language study have been grouped accordingly. Specific course numbers precede the general description of each level.

It is recommended that students take the LOTE Comprehensive Regents Examination at the end of level 4. However, students have the option of taking the Regents Examination at the end of level 3 in addition to the final exam.

Middle School Program:

1. Grades 7 and 8, Checkpoint A, two units of study (Practical Conversion 1A and B). These students, in order to earn the 1 high school credit required for graduation, must take and pass the Second Language Proficiency (SLP) Examination BUT NOT necessarily pass the course.
This would also apply to those programs that begin earlier and might complete Checkpoint A in grade 7 or earlier.
2. Accelerated 7th grade students, 1 year program to complete Checkpoint A. These students, in order to earn the 1 high school credit required for graduation, must take and pass BOTH the New York State Second Language Proficiency Examination and the course.
3. Grade 9, Checkpoint A, one-year equivalent to two units of study (Level 1) These students, in order to earn the 1 high school credit required for graduation, must take and pass EITHER the New York State Second Language Proficiency Examination OR the course.

 

MATHEMATICS

Mathematics is important in many fields that have been considered “non-mathematical” up to now. Colleges have increased their entrance requirements in mathematics for programs that lead into such diverse fields as agriculture, business, economics, physical education, medicine, computer science and psychology. In order to keep one's options open after graduation, a student should, therefore, take mathematics during each year of high school. This will lead to better preparation for any career whether one goes to college or not. Students are also reminded that a substantial portion of both the Scholastic Assessment Test (College Boards) and ACT's is in mathematics and that students who are taking mathematics generally score higher than those who are not taking mathematics.

The Valley Stream High School District’s mathematics program provides opportunities for all students in each grade level to take a mathematics course. Remedial instruction is available in the courses Math/Skills 7 and Math/Skills 8 for those students in seventh and eighth grades who have had difficulty in mathematics. In addition, there is a SIS program which runs in conjunction with Mathematics Course 1 and Course 2 for those students who have indicated by past performances that they may encounter some difficulty with the course content. The District's AIS program (Academic Intervention Services) provides additional services for those students who score below Level 3 on the Terra Nova exam or Math 8 assessment.

Students entering 9th grade in 2001 and beyond need three units of mathematics among the 22 units needed for graduation. These students also must receive a grade of 65 or better on a Math Regents exam in order to graduate.

(ACC) courses in mathematics are for mathematics students who wish to accelerate. Math 7(ACC), 1(ACC), 2(ACC), 3(ACC), and 4(ACC) is the sequence of courses designed to lead to a course in Advanced Placement Calculus in the senior year. Placement and continuation in this program depend on aptitude, achievement, and the recommendation of mathematics teachers. Math 7 (ACC) covers the content of Math 7 and Math 8 with additional emphasis on problem-solving. Math 1(ACC), 2(ACC), and 3(ACC) are similar in content to Math 1, 2, and 3. Additional topics are studied with emphasis on future applications often extending beyond the scope of the Math 1,2 and 3 curriculum. Math 4(ACC) contains topics from Precalculus with additional emphasis on topics from the first quarter of AP Calculus and the placement exam.

A schematic for some of the sequences of mathematics' courses appears above.


MUSIC

The music curriculum is designed to give students the opportunity to explore music and acquire playing and listening skills that will add enrichment to their lives. Accordingly, musical performance groups (band, orchestra, chorus, jazz ensemble), technique classes, and solo and ensemble experience are offered at all levels. A comprehensive general music course at the junior high level includes playing of musical instruments, listening, and exploration of music history and current musical events. Music theory and history are offered at the secondary level. For those who are college bound, it should be noted that colleges respond favorably to those students who have participated successfully in an active high school music program.

811-818 PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The goals of the program reflect the New York State Learning Standards for Physical Education, and the district's mission.

Junior High Physical Education - The purpose of the junior high physical education program is to introduce students to a broad range of physical activities and information, including team sports, individual and lifetime sports, rhythms, dance, and adventure activities, with a concentration in personal fitness. Personal living skills are introduced to develop mental, social and emotional wellness through active participation in class activities and intramurals.

Senior High Physical Education - The purpose of the senior high physical education program is to prepare students to lead healthier and more physically active adult lives. The activity based program provides opportunities to attain concepts and learn skills in depth, for fitness development, team, individual and dual lifetime sports, rhythms, dance, outdoor activities, and personal living by learning about the roles played in developing healthful behaviors. In addition, students will understand and be able to manage their personal and community resources so they can continue to be physically active beyond school.

Adaptive Physical Education - An adapted physical education program, meets the needs of students in all grade levels who demonstrate a low fitness level, who are recuperating from an injury, who are convalescing from an illness, or who are designated by the Committee on Special Education.

(The Commissioner of Education's regulations require that each student in physical education participates to be eligible for graduation from high school. Two credits are earned toward graduation. District requirements mandate that each student successfully complete four years of physical education in grades nine through twelve.) Commencing with the Class of 2005, the calculation of the student's GPA will include his/her grade in Physical Education.

 

SCIENCE

In today’s fast-paced technological society, Science continues to play an integral role in daily business, career and routine home activities. To have a reasonable understanding of the modern and future world, the study of science is essential and must, therefore, be a vital part of every student's program. All students are required to take Science in grades 7 and 8. A statewide assessment, the Intermediate Level Science exam, is given to all students in the 8th grade, regardless of the Science course into which they have been programmed.

Students must pass at last one Science Regents exam and successfully complete at least two units of Regents Science at the Senior High level. One credit must be in the Living Environment, the other from the Physical Setting. Students in the graduating class of 2005 and beyond must pass at least one Regents exam and successfully complete three units of Science at the Senior High level. One credit must be in the Living Environment, one from the Physical Setting. The third unit may be selected from any Science course in the Course Offerings Book, provided the student has satisfied the prerequisite, if any. For an Advanced Regents Diploma a student will need to pass two Regents exams - one each from the Living Environment and the Physical Setting.

Below is an overview of our district Science program. It is important to note the sequential nature. For the complete program to be comprehensive, the student should be exposed to the basic principles of the living and physical environments. Thus, the Science program with its core subjects and electives, which provide added enrichment and diversity, fulfills the college prerequisites and provides a basis for possible career choices.

In order to take the Regents examinations each June, a student must satisfy a minimum time requirement in a laboratory setting and must satisfactorily complete the appropriate written laboratory reports. A student who does not meet these two requirements is ineligible to take the Regents examination.

SOCIAL STUDIES

The social studies curriculum is that part of the District’s general education program which is concerned with the preparation of citizens for participation in a democratic society. It is designed to help young citizens become rational decision-makers so they can resolve personal problems and influence public policy though effective social action, and become informed participlants in an increasingly interdependent world. To accomplish this task the social studies program draws upon a variety of sources, among which are history and the social science disciplines: political science, sociology, economics, geography, psychology and a thorough study of our governmental system. The State of New York mandates a four year social studies program for all students. State Regents examinations in Global History & Geography and U.S. History & Government are required. The New York State Intermediate - Level Assessment is taken at the end of grade 8.
