Enterprise PLUS EHS PLUS High School is a new alternative education option in the Shasta Union High School District. It is a “school within a school” format designed for part-time credit recovery without having to transfer students away from their home campus. The goal of Enterprise Plus is to provide social structure and educational interventions through small group and individualized instruction. We also collaborate with the comprehensive high school to assist students in working towards the goal of graduating and pursuing post-secondary educational and vocational options. Students are encouraged to remain involved in Enterprise High activities and sports, as well as maintain relationships with peers. Students who are successful in Plus, and meet all graduation requirements, may participate in the graduation ceremony and they will receive a diploma from Enterprise High School. Structure of EHS PLUS Students have the opportunity to earn ten additional credits by being in Plus because we fit four core subjects in a three-period block. English, Social Science (US History, American Government and Economics), Science (Biology or Physical Science) and Math (Geometry, Algebra 1,1A or 1B, or Consumer Math). If students have previously FAILED the class, they will earn credit at a rate of 12:1. If a course they are taking is INITIAL credit, they earn at a rate of 16:1. Credit Recovery Information In addition to maintaining a course-load for the school year, EHS Plus students will also need to utilize other avenues to recover credits. These credits may be earned from any of the following:
Grading Periods There are six-week sessions throughout the year. Our goal is to involve and notify parents sooner rather than later in order to help the student’s progress throughout the year. Progress reports are sent home every three weeks. Report cards are mailed every six weeks; courses will also post to the transcript. Students should earn variable credit each session. In order to earn credit, students must have seat time (attending regularly) and must be producing work. EHS Plus uses a positive attendance system which means it is monitored on an hourly basis. Students also need to attend regularly to earn all credits. If a student has excessive absences, we will have a SST (Student Study Team Meeting) and he/she may be referred to SARB (Student Attendance Review Board). If your student is not in school, please call to verify their attendance: 225-8443. As a courtesy, you may also contact Plus at 245-2714. |
