STUDENT INFORMATION

EAGLECREST HIGH SCHOOL POSITIVE BEHAVIOR, CONDUCT, AND DISCIPLINE

Eaglecrest High School seeks to maintain an environment that is conducive to learning, protective of the safety and welfare

of students and staff, and free from unnecessary disruption. Students are expected to pursue the educational program and

to behave in such a way that their presence does not detract from their own education or the education of others. Students

shall treat teachers, administrators, district employees, visitors and fellow students with dignity and respect, and shall behave

in such a manner that their presence does not detract from a productive educational environment. The following guidelines

are designed to ensure a positive environment. Students are expected to:

• Respect: Respect one another as they wish to be respected

• Achievement: Achieve to the best of their ability

• Pride: Take pride in themselves and their surroundings

• Teamwork: Work cooperatively with others

• Opportunity: Take advantage of all educational opportunities

• Responsibility: Act responsibly at all times

Students are encouraged to seek out teachers, counselors, administrators, deans or staff members to help them with

academic achievement, concerns or any situation that warrants problem solving.

Any student who cannot maintain their behavior and causes a disruption in the classroom, on school grounds, on school

vehicles, or at school activities or events shall meet with the student’s dean to develop a remedial discipline plan.

Disorderly student behavior will be addressed in a manner that allows others to learn in an atmosphere that is safe, conducive

to the learning process, and free from unnecessary disruptions.

Any deviation from acceptable school behavior, which is serious enough to warrant disciplinary action, may result in a

student’s suspension and/or expulsion from classes in accordance with School Board Policies.

ATTENDANCE POLICIES

Attendance Phone Numbers: 720-886-1259 (A-L) OR 720-886-1261 (M-Z)

At Eaglecrest, consistent attendance and promptness are an expectation. If a student is unable to attend school because

of an illness or doctor’s appointment, a parent or legal guardian must do the following:

1. Call the Attendance Office or use the attendance form on the Eaglecrest website under the ‘Parents’ heading at the top

of the page, if your child is going to be absent from school due to illness or a doctor’s appointment. Your timely contact

is essential in our response to excuse absences. When calling or using the attendance form, please leave:

a. Student’s name, spelling of the last name.

b. Reason for the absence, otherwise student will not be excused. If not comfortable leaving the reason, you may call

the dean’s office to get student excused, 720-886-1030.

c. Parent/Guardian name,

d. Phone number where you can be reached.

2. For early dismissal, you may call 720-886-1259 (A-L) or 720-886-1261 (M-Z) at least 2 hours prior to dismissal,

if possible, OR send a note with your student to the Attendance Office in the morning before school begins to obtain a

pass for early dismissal. If the student is already at school, please call and leave a message on the voice mail.

3. In the event a student becomes ill at school and needs to go home, they must either:

a. Report to the clinic, and the nurse will phone a parent/guardian and obtain permission.

b. Have a parent/guardian call and give permission to the Attendance Office with the time the student is leaving.

c. Students who leave campus without following the above procedure may be marked “unexcused.”

4. Absences need to be excused within 48 hours. After this time requires dean’s approval.

5. In the event of a situation in which the student is supervised temporarily by an adult other than the parents, the parent

should notify the Attendance Office in writing, providing the name, address, and phone number of the supervising adult.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Parents may not excuse their students from class to do independent classwork/homework or study for an exam.

Parents may not excuse a student from a class to meet with a teacher from another class.

ALL STUDENTS

Attendance, grades, and behavior can be reviewed at any time by our deans to determine if students have earned

privileges such as attending school dances, sporting events, theatrical performances or any shool sponsored

activity. Seniors are put on notice that poor attendance, poor grades, and/or poor behavior can adversely affect

participation in senior graduation week activities.

EXCUSED ABSENCES (CCSD BOARD POLICY JH)

Legally excused absences are defined by state law and by Cherry Creek School District Policy. A summary outlining

excused absences is as follows:

1. A student who is temporarily ill, injured, or whose absence is approved by the administrator of the school of attendance.

2. A student who is absent for an extended period due to physical, mental, or emotional disability.

3. A student to whom a current age and school certificate work permit has been issued pursuant to the “Colorado Youth

Employment Opportunity Act of 1971.”

4. A student who is in the custody of the court or law enforcement authorities.

5. A student who is pursuing a work-study program under the supervision of a public school.

6. A student who is being instructed at home or under an established system of home study approved by the State Board

of Education.

NOTE: According to Colorado State Law Eaglecrest High School can only accept absences that meet the above criteria.

The district may require suitable proof regarding the above exceptions, including written statements from medical sources. If a

student in an out-of-home placement (as that term is defined by C.R.S.22-32-138 (l) (e)), is absent due to court appearances

and participation in court-ordered activities, such absences shall be excused. The students’ assigned social worker shall

verify the student’s absence was for a court appearance or court-ordered activity.

TEACHER/SCHOOL-SPONSORED ADVANCE NOTICE OF ABSENCE:

Advisors, activity sponsors, or classroom teachers who have had their field trip approved by their department coordinator

and the administrator in charge will complete an Advanced Notice of Absence Form located in Staff Pages on the website,

listing all students who will attend field trip activities. These school-sponsored absences are considered an excused absence

TARDY POLICY

It is important that all students establish punctual attendance in each class in order to ensure the maximum learning

opportunity each period of each day. In addition to the disruptive nature, students arriving tardy increase the detrimental

effect upon the rights of non-tardy students to an uninterrupted learning environment. Any student arriving tardy to class

will receive a 30-minute study hall from a tardy station. Students arriving more than 10 minutes late will receive 60 minutes

study hall. Students that miss their 30 or 60 minute study hall will be reassigned a 94-minute study hall. If a 94-minute study

hall is missed consequences may include Saturday school and/or in-school suspension in AAIC.

Note: The law requires the local Board of Education to designate an attendance officer for the district to enforce the

provisions of the compulsory attendance law, counsel students and parents, investigate the causes of nonattendance, and

reports findings to the Board.

BICYCLES AND SKATEBOARDS

Bicycles must be parked and locked in the bike racks in front of the Administration area or on the East side of the building only.

Bicycles are not to be parked or secured to fences, poles, or any other object on campus except racks specifically designed for

that purpose. The chain or lock securing a bicycle to another object will be cut, and the bicycle will be impounded until the owner

agrees to park their bike in the racks provided or agrees not to ride their bike to school. Under no circumstances are bicycles to

be stored inside the school building during the school day or while participating in extracurricular activities. Students are not to

ride bicycles on pedestrian walkways. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary consequences and involvement of the legal

authorities. The Aurora City Municipal Code makes it illegal to skateboard on property where “No skateboarding” signs are posted.

Students are not permitted to carry skateboards inside the building. Students may utilize lockers located outside of the

building for storing their skateboards.

DRESS CODE

Philosophy

Eaglecrest High School’s student dress code supports equitable educational access. This policy is written in a manner

that does not perpetuate stereotypes. To ensure effective and equitable enforcement of this dress code, school staff shall

enforce the dress code consistently and in a manner that does not lead to marginalization or oppression of any group based

on race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, household

income, or body type/size.

Values:

• Allow students to wear religious attire without fear of discipline or discrimination.

• Allow students to wear clothing that expresses their self-identified gender.

• Prevent students from wearing clothing or accessories that interfere with the operation of the school, disrupt the educational

process, invade the rights of others, or create a reasonably foreseeable risk of such interference or invasion of rights.

◦ Staffwillworktowardsafairandconsistentimplementationofthispolicy.

Eaglecrest High School expects that all students will dress in a way that is appropriate for the school day or for any school

sponsored event. Student dress choices should respect the intent of Eaglecrest High School and the Cherry Creek School

District to sustain a community that is inclusive of a diverse range of identities. The primary responsibility for a student’s

attire resides with the student and their parent(s) or guardian(s). The school district is responsible for seeing that student

attire does not interfere with health or safety of any student, that student attire does not contribute to a hostile or intimidating

atmosphere for any student, and that dress code enforcement does not reinforce or increase marginalization or oppres-

sion of any group based on race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural

observance, household income, or body type/size. Restrictions to the way a student dresses is necessary to support the

overall educational goals of the school, thus are explained within this dress code policy. A representation of students, parents,

staff, and administration developed the following standards:

1. Basic Principles:

• Certain body parts must be covered for all students at all times. Clothes must be worn in a way such that

genitals, buttocks, breasts, nipples, and navels are fully covered with opaque fabric. All items listed in the “must

wear” category below must meet this basic principle.

• A reasonable cleanliness of person and apparel is expected as a matter of health and wellness.

2. Students Must Wear:

• A shirt with fabric in the front, back, and on the sides under the arms)

• Pants/jeans or the equivalent (for example, a skirt, sweatpants, leggings, a dress, or shorts) which should be

worn at or above the hips

• Shoes

Courses that include attire as part of the curriculum (for example, professionalism, public speaking, and job readiness)

may include assignment-specific dress, but should not focus on covering bodies in a particular way or promoting

culturally specific attire. Activity-specific shoes requirements are permitted (for example, athletic shoes for PE).

3. Students Cannot Wear:

• Clothing or accessories that contain violent language or images

• Clothing or accessories that contain images or language depicting drugs/alcohol or any illegal item or activity

• Clothing or accessories that contain hate speech, profanity, or pornography

• Clothing or accessories that contain images or language that creates a hostile or intimidating environment

based on any protected class or consistently marginalized group.

• Clothing that reveals visible undergarments (visible waistbands and visible straps are allowed as long as this

is done in a way that does not violate Section 1 above)

• Swimsuits (except as required in class or athletic practice)

• Accessories that could be considered dangerous or could be used as a weapon.

• Apparel that endangers the student (clothing that poses a risk while participating in classroom activities, such as

pottery or science labs, and accessories such as chains, spikes, or jewelry that could be detrimental to safety

and welfare of students, staff, or other persons)

• Items that may be interpreted as representing unauthorized groups (bandanas, logos, symbols, and/or language)

PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND CELL PHONES

Policy Statement: At Eaglecrest High School, we believe in creating a positive learning environment that fosters academic

growth, effective communication, and responsible digital citizenship by limiting the use of cell phones/personal devices for

non-academic purposes in classrooms. The policy for supporting the appropriate usage of cell phones/personal devices in

all academic and non-academic environments (bathrooms) is as follows :

• Students will store and place cell phones/personal devices in a designated location determined by the classroom teacher

• Cell phones/personal devices can be used when expressly directed by a teacher solely for educational purposes

If a student violates the school or teacher’s expectations, the following process will be followed:

• Teacher follows the communicated classroom expectations and guidelines

• Conversation with student and parent/guardian

• If necessary, refer to the Dean’s office

1st Incident: When a cell phone/personal device is confiscated, the student can pick up the cell phone/personal device in

the Dean’s Office. He/she will be assigned a 30-minute academic study period.

2nd Incident: When a cell phone/personal device is confiscated, a parent can pick up the electronic device/cell phone in

the Dean’s Office. The student will be assigned a 90-minute academic study period.

HALLWAY POLICIES

The hallways in the academic area need to be quiet and orderly during class hours to enhance the learning environment.

Students are to use the hallways as pathways and not a destination. Therefore, students may not be in the academic

hallways more than five minutes before the end of class.

1. Students’ behavior and language are to be acceptable and compatible with the desired learning environment.

Students must have a hall pass while in the hallways during an academic period.

3. Sitting or standing in the hallways in a way that blocks traffic flow and interferes with academic pursuits in classrooms

will not be permitted.

carry an identification card, or refusal to produce the identification card, or to surrender the card may result in disciplinary action.

The cost of replacement I.D. cards is $5, payable to the Bookkeeper. Replacement I.D. cards may be obtained in the Security

Office. Replacement cards may be obtained in the security office by the main doors during school hours.

ILLNESS DURING SCHOOL HOURS/MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

Illness During School Hours

A registered nurse is on duty during the school day. Services relating to general health problems, acute illness, and emergency

first aid are available to all students and employees. Students who become ill during the school day should report to the nurse.

The nurse will evaluate the nature of the problem and assist the student in contacting parents/guardians for transportation home

if the nurse determines this is the best course of action. Only those people whom parents/guardians have designated may take

a student home from school. Parents should ensure that reliable people are listed in PowerSchool. It is a District Policy that a

sick student cannot be transported by another student except a sibling. The nurse will also notify the Attendance Office to excuse

classes missed. If students do not follow this procedure and go home due to illness, their absence will be considered unexcused.

Medical Emergencies

In the event of a medical emergency, all decisions as to treatment, destination, and hospitals will be made by the Emergency

Response Team. It is critical that parents/guardians provide accurate contact information through the district check-in forms

process as this is the only means the clinic has to locate parent’s/guardian’s contact information during a medical emergency.

Any changes to contact information must be submitted by the parents/guardians via the online system.

LIBRARY

Library Phone Number: 720-886-1095

Hours: 8:00 AM – 3:45 PM Monday – Friday

Library website: https://bit.ly/EaglecrestLibrary

The nationally award-winning Eaglecrest Library is a welcoming academic environment available for students to access

before school, after school, and during study periods. Library staff, including certified teacher-librarians, are available to

support students in choosing and locating books for pleasure and academic reading, as well as in helping students with all

aspects of the research process.

Student Resources and Services

The library has over 10,000 fiction and non-fiction print books and access to over 23,000 eBooks and audiobooks via the CCSD

Sora app from OverDrive. We welcome all student requests. Please complete a book request form found at the circulation

desk. From our library’s website students can access academic research resources through a variety of online databases.

Students must have their Eaglecrest ID for book or item checkout. Books are due back to the library four weeks after

checkout date, but may be renewed if needed for longer. Students may check out up to five books at a time. Inter-library

loan is available; please see a member of the library staff to have books transferred to EHS from other district libraries.

Other resources available for students to use in the library include desktop computers and a student work area that includes

a printer/copier/scanner, stapler, and three-hole punch. Students may also check out materials like colored pencils, markers,

glue sticks, tape, and scissors from the circulation desk with an ID.

LOCKERS

Lockers are an option made available for student use for the school year. Students accepting usage of the lockers must

also accept the related responsibilities, including keeping the assigned locker clean both inside and out and paying for any

damage to the locker. The student will be issued a $25.00 fine if the locker is not cleaned out at the end of the school year.

Lockers are school property and are under the control of the Cherry Creek School District. Eaglecrest High School assumes

no responsibility for lost or stolen property or money kept in lockers and reserves the right, consistent with state law, to

search lockers when necessary to ensure safety and enforce school and District policies.

LOST AND FOUND

Lost and Found items, including ID cards, wallets, keys, jewelry, etc., are taken to the security office at the school’s main

entrance. Unclaimed items will be donated after two weeks. This will also include items found in lockers of withdrawn students

and at the end of the school year after locker cleanout.

LOITERING

Students are not permitted to loiter in the hallways, back/front parking lots, on athletic fields, perimeters of campus, or in cars.

Loitering within 1000 yards of the school is not permitted. This area includes the surrounding neighborhoods immediately

adjacent to Eaglecrest High School. Any questions regarding appropriate areas should be directed to the deans or security.

Students are expected to be on campus only during the time periods designated within their academic/extracurricular activities

schedule. Students found loitering in undesignated areas will be assigned disciplinary consequences.

MEDICATION

High School students have the privilege of taking their own medications during the school day.

1. Students carrying their own medication may bring a one day supply with them each day. Medications must

be carried in the original packaging that identifies the content, dose, and frequency it may be taken. Prescription

medication must be in a pharmacy container that includes the name of the medication, dose, time, and student’s

name. Under no circumstances should students share their medication with other students. If they do so,

they will be subject to disciplinary action.

2. Clinic administration of medication provides for accountability that regular doses are received or allow

students who regularly use medication to store it at school so it is available. A permission form must be

completed and signed by the parent and physician before the nurse may administer medication to a student. This

is for both prescribed and over-the-counter medication.

3. To be given occasional over-the-counter (OTC) medication in the clinic, the OTC form found on the district check-in

forms must be completed and submitted online. We strongly encourage students to bring their own OTC medications

(while following the district guidelines). This minimizes interruptions to valuable class instructional time.

Controlled Substances

Please be aware that controlled medications present a greater than usual risk of becoming habit forming or being used

illegally. Controlled medications are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency. Some examples

of common controlled medications include: Ritalin, Dexedrine, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, phenobarbital, and pain

medication containing codeine.

Homeopathic Medications

Homeopathic medications are treated as a prescription medication, requiring a physician’s authorization as well as permission

from the Cherry Creek Medical Advisory Board. Both authorizations must be in place before homeopathic medications can

be administered by the school nurse.

Under no circumstances should students share their medications with other students. They will be subject to

disciplinary action.

MESSAGES AND GIFTS

Only emergency messages will be delivered to a student. An emergency is an accident, illness, or serious family problem.

If information about transportation, doctor appointments, house keys, etc., is available after your child leaves for school,

please instruct them to check with you during the day for an update. We cannot accept deliveries for students. Items like

food delivery services, flowers, balloons, stuffed animals, cookie bouquets, etc., should be sent to the student’s home rather

than the school. The Main Office staff will not sign for or accept these items. Forgotten items delivered by parents will be

kept in the Main Office until the student picks them up.

PARKING

Only juniors and seniors are allowed to park on campus. All EHS student fines need to be paid in full. Student vehicles must

be registered for authorized parking on campus. Non-registered vehicles parking on campus or cars in areas other than

those designated as student parking are subject to ticketing and towing at the owner’s expense.

Driving and parking on campus is a privilege, not a right. This privilege can be revoked if the student fails to operate

the vehicle in accordance with state law and school rules. The privilege of parking on EHS school property is extended in

exchange for granting consent to the school administration to search the vehicle without warning when the administration

has reason to believe that the items contained in the vehicle threaten the general safety of students and staff. To park a

vehicle on school property, consent must be given to seize potentially dangerous items to protect the common good. Parking

permits may be purchased in the Security Office for $50 per vehicle. Even though a student pays a parking fee, the school

is not responsible for loss or damage that may occur in the parking lot. The parking fee only allows the student to park on

campus. Please read and review the following EHS Parking Policies and Consequences for the 2023-2024 school year.

The parking lots are off-limits to loitering during school hours. Additionally, students must follow Colorado Law (SB-036/April

2005) pertaining to drivers under 21, including:

1. No passengers under age 21, until the driver holds a valid driver’s license for at least six months (siblings and

passengers with medical emergencies excepted.)

2. At most, one passenger under the age of 21 until the driver holds a valid driver’s license, for at least one year

(siblings and passengers with medical emergencies excepted.)

3. No more than one passenger in the front seat of a vehicle driven by a person under 17, and the number of passengers

in the seat must not exceed the number of seatbelts. All passengers must wear seatbelts.

The policies and consequences outlined will be strictly enforced by the EHS Security Team.

Students who park on the EHS campus must have a valid EHS parking permit.

1. Students must park in the designated student parking spaces ONLY. There is no student parking in the faculty

parking area. Students found parking in the staff lot will be assessed a $30 fine. Student parking is in the northwest

lot in front of the building and the back parking lot outside the bus loop.

2. Students cannot park in handicapped spaces or fire lanes.

3. A $25 fine will be assessed if the permit is not returned at the end of the school year. The same parking permits will

not be used the following school year.

4. Students interested in parking at Eaglecrest High School must have a valid driver’s license, current vehicle

registration, and current proof of insurance to complete an application form and return it to EHS Security. Students

will also need to attend a meeting or view a 10-minute parking video prior to purchasing a parking permit.

CCSD Board Policy JQ-1

In order to generate revenue for the improvement and maintenance of parking areas and grounds, parking fees will be

assessed at senior high school campuses.

The fees will be collected at the time of student registration or shortly thereafter. Parking fees paid by students may be

refunded if requested within the timeline set by senior high schools.

The number of permits issued at each school campus will be limited to the number of parking spaces available. Each

school will establish permit eligibility and priority for its students in accordance with individual parking lot capacities.

Parking fee rates will be established by the Board of Education and implemented beginning in the 1993-94 school year

VIDEO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS

USE OF VIDEO CAMERAS TO MONITOR STUDENT BEHAVIOR POLICY (JICA). The Board of Education recognizes

the District’s continuing responsibility to maintain and improve discipline and to promote the health, welfare, and safety of

its staff and students. After having weighted carefully and balanced the rights of privacy of students with the District’s duty

to promote discipline health, welfare, and safety of staff and students, the Board supports the use of video cameras on its

transportation vehicles and in District schools. Video cameras may be used to monitor student behavior in school facilities,

[on school property,] and on school vehicles transporting students to and from school. Students in violation of conduct

rules shall be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with established Board policy and regulations governing student

conduct and discipline. The District shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws related to video recordings when

such recordings are considered for retention as part of the student’s behavioral record as determined by the District and in

ACADEMIC POLICIES

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Plagiarism and cheating will result in failure of the assignment and possibly failure of an entire course of work. In addition,

the student will receive disciplinary consequences. All incidents will be reported to parents, and disciplinary consequences

will be assigned. Please refer to the Cherry Creek School District Discipline Policy JICDA.

Advanced Placement grades reflect classroom performance for the entire year. Scores on the Advanced Placement

examination reflect test performance only and are not computed into the grade for the course. Grades will not be changed

if scores of 4 or 5 are earned on the examination; however, often high scores will earn college credit and an advanced

standing as determined by the individual college or university.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS

• Global Studies Program

The Global Studies Program is designed for students who wish to add a more global perspective to their high

school education. The program is recommended for the highly motivated student who seeks a wide exposure to

international themes and cultures while preparing for admission to a competitive college or university program. See

your counselor for more information.

• Journalism Arts Certificate Program

The Journalism Arts Certificate is a program unique to Eaglecrest. This program is for students interested in pursuing

a career in journalism, photography, public relations, business, graphic design, and more. Students who specialize

in this area receive both a Journalism Arts Certificate and an Honors cord by completing a minimum of two honors/

AP English courses, Journalism, and 2 years in Yearbook, Newspaper, or Video Broadcast. Students must also take

elective courses specific to gaining knowledge and insight useful in a productions class. At the end of the program,

national conventions, and state and national contests.

• Sci-Tech Certificate Program

The Eaglecrest Sci-Tech program is a college preparatory program for students who will pursue degrees in science,

technology, engineering, and/or mathematics (STEM). The program requires students to complete an above average

course load which allows the student to specialize in an area of academic interest. In order for a student to complete

the overall program requirements, they must also complete an advanced level capstone project that reflects original

thought, demonstrates the application of core concepts, demonstrates an understanding of the relationship between

core academic STEM areas, and meets the elevated expectations of faculty advisors and professionals from related

STEM industries. Upon completion of the program, Sci-Tech students are well prepared to succeed in a variety of

post-secondary educational environments.

SCHOOL COUNSELING SERVICES

The Eaglecrest High School Counseling program, in partnership with other educators, parents/guardians, and community

stakeholders, provides intentional, student-centered support to meet the varying academic, post-secondary, and social

emotional needs of all students. We collaborate to identify barriers and implement solutions that promote equitable outcomes

for students and engage the entire school community. It is our vision that every student will acquire the skills necessary to

live a healthy, responsible, and productive life.

CREDITS AND CORE CLASS REQUIREMENTS

9th grade: 7.25 credits 11th grade: 6.0 credits

NOT apply to transfer students or to students whose class has already graduated. Additional questions should be directed

to the Counseling department.

COMPUTER ACADEMY

PLATO Computer Academy is an online computer program that allows students an opportunity to recover credit in a class

that the student has previously failed. As this credit retrieval opportunity is a privilege, it is important that students use their

time in Computer Academy efficiently or they may be dropped from the program. Students will earn an “S” for Satisfactory

or “US” for Unsatisfactory. Computer Academy courses are not NCAA approved. Eaglecrest has limited spots available in

this program and offers only certain classes. Students should see their counselor for more information.

Incomplete is changed to a letter grade. The change must occur within 9 weeks. If not, the grade changes to an ‘F’ permanently.

GRADE UPDATES

Eaglecrest High School uses the PowerSchool database program. Parents and students have web-based access to their

student’s grades, attendance, and assignments via a secure password. Late work will be updated as time permits in the

teacher’s schedule.

GRADE WEIGHTING

The Cherry Creek School District transcript reflects both weighted and unweighted grade point averages. Weighted grades

are given in those courses designated as either Honors or Advanced Placement. The difference between weighted and

unweighted grades in terms of grade point value is as follows:

Unweighted Weighted

A 4 grade points A 5 grade points

B 3 grade points B 4 grade points

C 2 grade points C 3 grade points

D 1 grade point D 1 grade point

F 0 grade point F 0 grade point

GRADUATION DISTINCTIONS

Students have multiple opportunities to earn distinctions for graduation. Only regalia associated with distinctions earned

at Eaglecrest High School may be worn during the graduation ceremony. Students who meet the requirements for an

Excellence Medal may wear this at the graduation ceremony. Students who meet the requirements for AVID, Sci-Tech,

Honors Diploma, and/or who have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher will earn a cord that can be worn at the graduation

ceremony. For additional graduation distinctions, please contact the Activities Office.

GRADUATION CEREMONY REQUIREMENTS

In order to participate in the Eaglecrest High School graduation ceremony students must:

1. Complete all graduation requirements

2. Attend the spring graduation meeting, with a parent/guardian

3. Attend the required graduation rehearsals

4. Clear all fees/fines

Any junior who is considering early graduation must confer with their counselor no later than December of their junior year

to start a multi-step formalized process.

Attendance, grades, and behavior can be reviewed at any time by our deans to determine if students have earned privileges

such as attending any school dance, sporting event, theatrical performance or any school sponsored activity. Seniors are

put on notice that poor attendance, poor grades, and/or poor behavior can adversely affect participation in all senior activities

which include, but are not limited to prom, sporting events (home or away), exit assembly, and Graduation.

In pursuit of its mission to ensure that all students reach their learning potential, the Board of Education recognizes that high

school shall be generally considered as a 4 year course of study. Therefore, graduation requirements are based on units

of credit earned in grades nine through twelve. A unit of credit is defined as the amount of credit given for the successful

completion of a course, which meets the required hours of instruction as defined in state law.

In order to prepare students for a successful post-secondary educational and work experience, the Board of Education

strongly encourages students to participate in a rigorous academic core curriculum consisting of 4 years of English, 4 years

of mathematics, 4 years of science, 4 years of social studies, and at least 2 years of a World Language, as recommended

by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education for admission to 4 year public colleges and universities in Colorado.

GRADUATION COMPETENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR 2024

According to the Colorado Department of Education, in addition to the minimum required credits, every student must

demonstrate college and career preparedness in both English and mathematics to earn a high school diploma. The Cherry

Creek School District offers a menu of options for students to demonstrate their learning and preparation. Students are

encouraged to discuss and regularly monitor these options with their family, counselor, and teachers.

Please visit the Cherry Creek School District website for more information: https://www.cherrycreekschools.org/Page/4122

MINIMUM UNITS OF CREDIT NEEDED TO GRADUATE

A minimum of 22 units of credit shall be necessary for high school graduation. In addition to the 16.5 required units, all other

credits shall be considered as electives and may be selected from the entire curricular offerings. Minimum credit requirements

in various areas shall be as follows:

Subject Area Credits

HOMEWORK

CCSD Board Policy IKE states, “It is recognized that all learning cannot be accomplished within the limited amount of time

allotted for classroom instruction. Therefore, homework is routinely assigned to students in the Cherry Creek Schools.”

Homework is an important part of high school courses. Teachers assign homework for various reasons including reinforcing

classroom lessons, checking for understanding of material presented in class, internalizing key concepts with practice and

providing opportunities for creativity and preparing for proficiency exams. With Eaglecrest’s alternating block schedule,

students are encouraged to complete homework on the night it is assigned.

Arrangements to collect homework assignments can be made when a student is absent for 3 or more days. Contact the

Counseling Office at 720-886-1175. Parents will be asked for an email address, as much of the work can be sent electronically.

Any hardcopy homework collected will be available in the Counseling Office for pick-up the afternoon of the following school

day. Parents are asked to make their own arrangements to pick= up books from their student’s locker.

HONORS DIPLOMA

The Honors Diploma Program is an individualized program which provides structure and support for high-achieving students to prepare

for college success. The program is designed to provide a well-rounded high school experience including Honors and Advanced

Placement courses, extra-curricular activities, community service involvement, and extended learning opportunities. The goal of

these components is to provide a variety of learning experiences to challenge and engage students during their high school years.

HONOR CORD REQUIREMENTS

Semesters Required For Honor Cord Eligibility 8 semesters

Cumulative GPA Requirement Minimum 3.5

GPA within the Department Classes Taken

During High School

Minimum 3.5

Other Requirements

Determined by individual Honor Society, such as enrollment in Honors

and Advanced Placement courses

Rationale: Eaglecrest offers honors programs and honor societies for students who excel academically and seek an enriched and

challenging learning environment. Graduates who fulfill the requirements are eligible to wear honor cords, which are provided

by the school and departments. The requirements for graduating with an honor cord are different for each society, and there is

a minimum expectation of academic achievement in order to receive an honor cord for graduation. The GPA requirements are

to ensure that all graduates receiving an honor cord are truly the definition of “graduating with academic honors.”

Definitions:

• GPA requirement is a minimum

• Individual Honor Societies may choose a higher GPA for eligibility

• Eligibility is tabulated after 7 semesters of high school: however, no cord will be given to a student who is not in

good standing to complete the eighth semester

INDEPENDENT STUDY

A student wishing to pursue a course of study not available in the regular curriculum should see a counselor for specific

information. The process involves a content area teacher and requires administration approval. Independent Study petition

applications are due the third week of the first semester for year-long and first semester courses and the third week of the

second semester for second semester courses. NCAA does not accept Independent Study courses for college eligibility.

HONOR ROLL

The Honor Roll will recognize students with GPAs in the following categories each semester:

4.0 & Above 3.75 - 3.99 3.5 - 3.74

MAKE-UP WORK

Assignments are frequently made ahead of time so that when students are absent from school, even for several days, they

can keep up with work satisfactorily until they return. In case of a short absence, students can usually call responsible

classmates to get their homework assignments. With a block schedule, students are encouraged to see their teachers for

make-up work on the day they return, whether the missed classes meet that day or not.

Make-up work should be submitted within a period of time no longer than the time missed from school. For example, if a

student has an excused/unexcused absence from a Monday class and learns of the assignment in class on Wednesday,

the make-up work is due at the beginning of the next class session, in this case, a Friday. Students or parents can request

make-up work for emergency or planned and approved absences of two days or longer by emailing their teachers.

Arrangements to collect homework assignments can be made when a student is absent for 3 or more days. Contact the

Counseling Office at 720-886-1175. Parents will be asked for an email address, as much of the work can be sent electronically.

Any hardcopy homework collected will be available in the Counseling Office for pick-up the afternoon of the following school

day. Parents are asked to make their own arrangements to pick-up books from their student’s locker.

PASS/FAIL AND AUDIT POLICY

Eaglecrest High School has a Pass/Fail and Audit policy. Students who believe one of these grading options is best for them

should speak with their counselor for more information. Administrative approval is required. Students are responsible for

understanding the policies of colleges or universities to which they may apply regarding courses taken Pass/Fail. Student

athletes are also responsible for understanding NCAA Eligibility regulations and the Colorado High School Activities Association

(CHSAA) regarding courses taken Pass/Fail and their eligibility.

POWERSCHOOL

PowerSchool is a real-time web based student information system. Parents and students have access to grades, attendance

records and other school-related information. PowerSchool is available online at my.cherrycreekschools.org. Students and

parents can receive their personalized login information from the Media Productions Center (MPC). A valid picture ID is

required.

SCHEDULE REPAIRS

The master schedule is designed based on the requests students make during registration. In the event that a requested

course is full or conflicts with another course, alternate requests will be used. Changes will not be made to schedules unless

one of the following repairs are needed:

1. An incomplete schedule resulting from the closure of a requested course

2. An incomplete schedule that does not include a sufficient number of credits

3. An incomplete schedule that does not include sufficient core classes (4 academic classes or 3 AP courses)

4. A schedule that places the student in the wrong level of a course

5. A schedule that doesn’t include a course(s) required for graduation (seniors only)

SUMMER SCHOOL

Courses taken for credit after the ninth-grade year in an approved summer school program will be recorded on the student’s

permanent transcript, and grades and credits received will apply toward graduation. Courses taken in the summer prior to

9th grade will appear on the students transcripts, but no credit will be awarded.

TECHNOLOGY

Guidelines

Because electronic information is so volatile and easily reproduced, respect for the work of others is especially important in

computer environments. Likewise, respect for and care of computer equipment is essential to provide working access for

all. Plagiarism, invasion of privacy, unauthorized access, copyright violations, damaging, modifying or attempting to modify

computer files, systems, records, or facilities are grounds for disciplinary action and possible legal action.

The use of the internet at EHS is for the support of curricular goals and objectives. This does not include playing games,

downloading music, or participating in chat rooms. Violation of district or school rules may result in loss of computer use

privileges.

will need to go to every class for a withdrawal grade. All textbooks, materials, athletic equipment, technology, and student

ID will need to be turned in.

DISCIPLINE

Students are assigned a Dean of Students who will handle discipline or attendance problems. We expect students to share

in the responsibility for maintaining a safe, orderly and clean place to learn. Deans are available to provide support to and

intervention with students who have specific complaints about behavior problems with other students. Eagelcrest High

School personnel will make reasonable attempts to inform parents of a violation of school rules. A parent conference will

be necessary for readmission following an out-of-school suspension, depending upon each individual situation and/or the

discretion of the dean. Parents may request a conference with their student’s dean at any time by calling the dean’s office.

ACTIVITIES

INVOLVEMENT IS THE KEY TO YOUR ACADEMIC SUCCESS AT EAGLECREST

As an Eaglecrest Raptor you are encouraged to get involved in the numerous clubs and activities that are available for you

to pursue your interests, talents, and passions. Eaglecrest’s staff currently sponsors 50 clubs.

Research indicates that students who feel a connection to their school and who get involved in extracurricular activities will

be more successful academically, as well as, socially. Our clubs and activities promote leadership opportunities, school

and community service opportunities, and the ability to make new friendships with peers and adults. Skills, knowledge, and

traits for success are developed through involvement in clubs that will enhance students’ potential for success throughout

their four years of high school and beyond. In addition, college and university admission requirements look for individuals

who have developed talents, service, skills, and leadership through involvement in extracurricular clubs and activities.

It is truly amazing to see the dedication of our students and staff who get involved and the difference they make in their own

lives and the lives of others. Please stop by the Activities Office or go online to the club information page for a complete list

of clubs and contact information

ADJECTIVE

A WORD THAT DESCRIBES OR MODIFIES

NOUNS AND PRONOUNS. ADJECTIVES

SPECIFY COLOR, SIZE, NUMBER, AND THE

LIKE.

Examples: red, large, three, gigantic, miniature

Adjectives have three forms: positive, comparative,

and superlative.

The positive form describes a noun or pronoun without

comparing it to anything else.

Example: My apple pie is good.

The comparative form compares two things.

Example: Aunt Betty’s apple pie is better than mine.

The superlative form compares three or more things.

Example: Mom’s apple pie is the best of all!

PREPOSITION

A WORD (OR GROUP OF WORDS) THAT

SHOWS HOW A NOUN OR PRONOUN

RELATES TO ANOTHER WORD IN A

SENTENCE.

Examples: The man walked into the gym.

The horse leaped over the fence.

Their team won the meet in spite of several players being injured.

CONJUNCTION

A WORD THAT CONNECTS INDIVIDUAL

WORDS OR GROUPS OF WORDS.

Coordinating conjunctions connect a word to a word,

a clause to a clause, or a phrase to a phrase. The sentence

elements joined by a coordinating conjunction must be

equal. Common coordinating conjunctions are:

and, but, or,

nor, for, yet, so.

Coordinating conjunctions used in pairs are called

correlative conjunctions. Common correlative

conjunctions are: either, or; neither, nor; not only, but also;

both, and; whether, or.

Examples: Both raccoons and squirrels frequently invade

our bird feeders.

Neither Mary Ann nor Julie will be able to go with you.

Subordinating conjunctions connect and show

the relationship between two clauses that are not equally

important. Common subordinate conjunctions are: until,

unless, since, where, before, as, if, when, although, after,

because, while, as long as, as if, though, whereas.

Examples: Until you decide to study, your grades won’t

improve.

If I hadn’t already made plans, I would have enjoyed going

to the mall with you.

INTERJECTION

A WORD THAT IS USED IN A SENTENCE

TO COMMUNICATE STRONG EMOTION OR

SURPRISE. PUNCTUATION IS USED TO

SEPARATE AN INTERJECTION FROM THE

REST OF THE SENTENCE.

Examples: Hooray! We finally scored a touchdown.

Oh, no! I forgot the picnic basket.

Yes! Her gymnastic routine was perfect.

Ah, we finally get to stop and rest.

NOUN

A WORD THAT NAMES A PERSON, PLACE, THING,

QUALITY, ACT, OR FEELING.

Common nouns are general and do not refer to a

specific person, location, or object.

Examples: man, city, tonight, honesty, happiness

Proper nouns are capitalized and refer to a particular

person, place, or thing.

Examples: Reggie, Market Square Arena, Saturday

PRONOUN

A WORD THAT TAKES THE PLACE OF A NOUN.

Nominative Case Pronouns replace the subject of a

sentence or clause.

Examples: She took the bus to visit Aunt Jane.

We are looking forward to visiting Oregon.

Objective Case Pronouns receive a verb’s action or

follow a preposition.

Examples: Please give me the papers.

Timothy’s outstanding service earned him the award.

Possessive Case Pronouns show ownership or

possession.

Examples: The cougar escaped from its cage.

Their car slid off the icy road.

VERB

A WORD THAT EXPRESSES ACTION OR A STATE OF

BEING. IT ALSO INDICATES THE TIME OF ACTION OR

STATE OF BEING. A VERB HAS DIFFERENT FORMS

DEPENDING ON ITS NUMBER, PERSON, VOICE,

TENSE, AND MOOD.

Number indicates whether a verb is singular or plural.

The verb and its subject must agree in number.

Examples: One dog barks. Two dogs bark.

Person indicates whether the subject of the verb is 1

, 2

or 3

person and whether the subject is singular or plural.

Verbs usually have a different form only in third person

singular of the present tense.

Examples: Singular Plural

Person: I stop. We stop.

Person: You stop. You stop.

Person: He/She/It stops. They stop.

Voice indicates whether the subject is the doer or the

receiver of the action verb.

Examples: Cathy wrote the letter. (active voice)

The letter was written by Cathy. (passive voice)

Tense indicates when the action or state of being is taking

place.

Examples: We need the information now. (present)

Reggie shot the ball. (past)

You will enjoy the school play. (future)

ADVERB

A WORD THAT DESCRIBES OR MODIFIES A VERB,

AN ADJECTIVE, OR ANOTHER ADVERB. AN ADVERB

TELLS HOW, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, HOW OFTEN,

AND HOW MUCH.

Examples: The ball rolled slowly around the rim.

Soccer scores are reported daily in the newspaper.

LANGUAGE ARTS

SENTENCE STRUCTURE

A complete sentence must express a complete thought and must have a subject and a verb.

Example: He lost the game.

A sentence fragment results from a missing subject, verb or complete thought.

Example: Because he was lost.

THERE ARE FOUR TYPES OF SENTENCES: SIMPLE, COMPOUND, COMPLEX, OR COMPOUND-COMPLEX

A simple sentence consists of one main clause. It expresses one main thought and has one subject and one

verb. A simple sentence may contain a compound subject, a compound verb, or both.

Examples: We enjoyed the concert.

Amy and Scott were married yesterday. (compound subject: Amy and Scott)

Ben is leaving work and going home. (compound verb: leaving and going)

A compound sentence contains two or more main clauses (in italics) connected by a conjunction, a

semicolon, or a comma with a conjunction.

Examples: Collecting fossils is fun, but I think identifying fossils is difficult. (conjunction)

Andy’s suit looks new; it just got back from the cleaners. (semicolon)

Erin came home for Easter, and Courtney went to Florida. (comma/conjunction)

A complex sentence has one main clause (in italics) and one or more subordinate clauses (underlined).

Examples: Dad says that good grades are the result of diligent studying. (main clause, one independent clause)

Diligent studying is difficult, because I have to work several hours before I can start studying. (main clause, two

dependent clauses)

A compound-complex sentence has two or more main clauses (in italics) and one or more subordinate

clauses (underlined).

Examples: Because the school bus broke down, the team rode in a van, and the cheerleaders rode in cars.

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, Kristi is on that runaway horse, and Dale is behind her.

SPELLING RULES

Write i before e except after c, or when sounded like a as in

weigh

and

eight

Exceptions: seize, weird, either, leisure, neither

When the ie/ei combination is not pronounced ee, it is usually spelled ei.

Examples: reign, weigh, neighbor

Exceptions: friend, view, mischief, fiery

When a multi-syllable word ends in a consonant preceded by one vowel, the accent is on the last

syllable and the suffix begins with a vowel — the same rule holds true when you double the final

consonant.

Examples: prefer = preferred | allot = allotted | control = controlling

If a word ends with a silent e, drop the e before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel.

Examples: use = using | like = liking | state = stating | love = loving

When the suffix begins with a consonant, do not drop the e.

Examples: use = useful | state = statement | nine = ninety

Exceptions: argument, judgment, truly, ninth

When y is the last letter in a word and the y is preceded by a consonant, change the y to i

before

adding any suffix except those beginning with i.

Examples: lady = ladies | try = tries | happy = happiness | ply = pliable | fly = flying

WRITING VARIABLES

BEFORE BEGINNING ANY ASSIGNMENT, IT WILL HELP YOU TO FOCUS

AND REMAIN CONSISTENT IN STYLE IF YOU CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING

VARIABLES.

For whom am I writing? A letter written to your ten-year-old sister will be much different in vocabulary,

subject, content, format, and sentence complexity than one written to your senator.

About what subject should I write? If possible, choose a subject that interests you. Research your subject well.

Why am I writing? Have a clear purpose in mind before starting your paper. Are you writing to entertain,

instruct, inform, or persuade? Keeping your purpose in mind as you write will result in a paper that is

focused and consistent.

What point of view or “voice” will I use? Writers sometimes write from the point of view of another

person rather than from their own point of view. This can add variety and help you see your subject in a

new way. Make sure your “voice” remains consistent.

What form will my writing take? Different forms of writing, such as letters, diaries, reports, essays, research

papers, etc., have specific requirements. Decide on the form your writing will take, and then make sure you

know the requirements for that form of writing.

PLANNING AND WRITING AN ESSAY OR COMPOSITION

{1} Select a general subject area that interests you.

{2} Make a list of your thoughts and ideas about the subject.

{3} Use your list to help focus on a specific topic within the subject area.

{4} Decide what you want to say about the topic, and write an introductory statement that reflects this purpose.

{5} Make a list of details to support your statement.

{6} Arrange the list of details into an outline.

{7} Do any reading and research necessary to provide additional support for specific areas of your outline. Keep a

careful list of all of your sources for your bibliography.

{8} Write a first draft.

{9} Revise your first draft, making sure that:

{a} The introduction includes a clear statement of purpose.

{b} Each paragraph begins with some link to the preceding paragraph.

{c} Every statement is supported or illustrated.

{d} The concluding paragraph ties all of the important points together, leaving the reader with a clear

understanding of the meaning of the essay or composition.

{e} Words are used and spelled correctly.

{f} Punctuation is correct.

{10} Read your revised paper aloud to check how it sounds.

{11}

Proofread your revised paper two times: once for spelling, punctuation, and word usage, and again for meaning

and effectiveness.
