You are encouraged to read the course descriptions carefully when making your choices and give particular attention to the registration guidelines and required prerequisites. It is highly recommended that you become familiar with the graduation requirements and use them as a guide in this cooperative planning process. In preparing for this academic year, you are encouraged to select a course of study that will challenge you academically and stimulate your interests. We feel that the best preparation for college, and for the demands of life, occurs when students are both academically challenged to the greatest extent possible and engaged in their content at a distinguished level. Communicating this philosophy with parents, teachers, and counselors is essential in the course selection process and in planning for life after high school. In keeping with this philosophy, Coronado High School strives to offer as many courses as possible, ensuring that scope and sequences span a wide variety of interests, skills, and dispositions. Our athletic and co-curricular programs continue to be among the most vast and successful of all schools throughout the state. I encourage all of you to take part in these programs, testing your own personal limits academically and socially, as you prepare for success at the post-secondary level. Participation in these experiences will provide the well-rounded education we are striving to offer here at Coronado. Again, I want to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year. You will play an important role in making Coronado High School a school of excellence.

3 General Information CCSD Guidance & Counseling Website The Guidance and Counseling website provides students and parents/guardians with information on school counseling services provided by the school district. It also serves as a support reference for preparing students for their future educational decisions. Information on diploma requirements, scholarship opportunities, and post-secondary opportunities are just a few examples of information available on the website. Registration Information The courses in this registration guide are proposed to be offered at Coronado High School for the 2025-2026 school year. The courses listed in this guide will only be offered if an adequate number of students register for a course and if we are able to sufficiently provide staffing. If too few students enroll in a course, or we do not have the staffing required, it may be canceled, and those students will be rescheduled into their alternative elective courses. Furthermore, once elective classes are full, students will be placed in alternative electives. Students will not receive additional credit for repeating a semester of a course that they have previously passed. There are certain exceptions, such as varsity band or varsity chorus may be repeated for credit. Students should see their school counselor for more information. Students will be scheduled into courses selected during registration unless those courses are filled or canceled. Courses that students select this spring are the courses they will be required to attend next year. Choose courses carefully. No schedule change requests will be granted other than those governed by the policy statement. In order to register effectively for classes next year, please read and follow these guidelines: READ this entire registration guide and course catalog before you register for courses, including the prerequisites. DISCUSS your course selection with your parents or guardians and teachers before registration. Some courses require a teacher recommendation. COMPLETE the Elective Google Form. Choose the elective classes you would like to take. If a recommendation is required, the recommending teacher will verify the course selection. In the event that your first-choice electives are filled, you will be assigned an alternative choice in the order listed on your submitted form. There is a possibility that all of your elective choices may be full or conflict with scheduled core classes, in which case you will be placed in any available elective class. The Elective Google Form can be found on the Counselor’s website under the Registration tab. If electives are not chosen by the student using the provided form, they will be chosen for the student based on availability and graduation requirements. MEET individually with your counselor to discuss course selection, graduation requirements, and post-secondary plans. During this meeting your counselor will update and finalize the course plan in IC. A copy of the 25-26 plan will be provided to the student and recorded in IC. Starting in April 2025, parents will approve your course selection by checking the “Approved by parent/legal guardian” box located on your course plan page, under academic planning, which can be accessed through your Infinite Campus Portal. You are responsible for notifying your counselor of summer school courses completed. Students will be expected to remain in courses for the duration of the school year. Exceptions such as graduation requirements and misplacement will be handled through the regular schedule change procedure.
4 General Information NON-DISCRIMINATION LANGUAGE CCSD does not knowingly discriminate against any person on the basis of race, creed/religion, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, marital status or age, in admission or access to, treatment or employment in, or participation in its programs and activities, and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts of America and other designated youth groups, pursuant to federal and state laws including, but not limited to, Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act. Schedule Change Policy Since much advance planning and guidance are provided for each student prior to course selection, schedule changes will not be made after course selection. Class changes will not be granted to accommodate a change in a student's lunch period or to request a specific instructor. Due to the State of Nevada Department of Education Guidelines, no student may change a class and receive credit after the 18th school day of each semester for face-to-face courses. If a student is allowed to drop a class after this time, the student will receive an “F” grade in that class. Requests for schedule changes are considered prior to the 18th school day of the semester and are granted only for the following reasons: Fulfillment of graduation requirements Misplacement in an academic area according to ability Successful completion of summer school course work Last Day for Credit in Face-to-Face Instruction for 25-26 School Year Semester 1: September 5, 2025; Semester 2: February 2, 2026 Prerequisites Prerequisites are listed in the course catalog to help students and parents make the best educational decision possible. Students must meet these prerequisites to enroll in a course. Both semesters of the prerequisite course must be successfully completed. Schedule adjustments will be made automatically should prerequisites not be met. Fees Fees are charged for some elective classes where students complete special projects to be taken home. These class fees cover the actual cost of projects. With the uncertainty of our economy, some families may be unable to purchase all of the necessary items or pay fees for their students. This is understandable and will not prevent a child’s enrollment in any class. If the circumstances are such that alternatives to immediate payment of fees must be considered, please contact your child’s counselor and/or teacher(s), so the school and parent can work together for a resolution. Early-Bird and Late Classes Early-bird and late classes are offered on a limited basis. Students selecting an early-bird and/or late class must remain in the class all semester, or until the course is completed, and maintain their entire schedule. Students will have to provide their own transportation. Course Challenge Students who are not recommended but satisfy all prerequisites for a course may enroll in the class by completing the challenge process the preceding spring. By challenging a course, the student will remain in the class for the entire school year. Enrollment Adjustments The administration may, due to increased/decreased enrollment and staff changes, balance course sections by transferring students from one class to another section of the same course. Every effort will be made to ensure a smooth transition for students.

The plan may also include, without limitation, the designation of a career pathway and enrollment in Dual Enrollment, career and technical education (CTE), Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and Honors (H) courses. The Grade 9 student and their parent/guardian will work in consultation with a school counselor to develop an academic plan, approve the academic plan, review the academic plan at least once each school year in consultation with a school counselor, and revise the plan if necessary. Please contact your school directly for instructions on how to approve your child’s academic plan online. For students enrolling in high school after Grade 9, an academic plan will be created with appropriate grade-level modifications. The academic plan must be used as a guide for the student and the parent/guardian to plan, monitor, and manage the student’s educational and occupational development, and make determinations of the appropriate course of study. If a student does not satisfy all of the goals set forth in the academic plan, then the student is eligible to graduate and receive a high school diploma if requirements for a diploma are otherwise satisfied. SOURCES: NRS 388.205, CCSD Regulation 5127, AB 117 PROGRAMS AND PROGRESS Graduation Programs: Students are assigned to a graduation program in Infinite Campus to allow students, parents/guardians, and school counselors to track progress toward completing the academic plan and earning a diploma.

10 SCHEDULE CHANGES To ensure students receive the required amount of instruction to earn credit, schools may only change courses until a predetermined specific date each semester, as determined by the school schedule. The school will communicate with students and their families about these deadlines. Please contact your school counselor with questions. Courses may only be changed with administrative approval. Distance learning and online coursework (e.g. Apex, Edgenuity) allow students to earn credit through digital instruction and are excluded from these guidelines. A unit of credit is awarded for a course containing at least 120 hours of instruction or 60 hours per semester. Courses contain 120 hours of instruction, excluding passing periods.

External credits are limited to 6.0 total credits in high school, and must be pre-approved by the school of full-time enrollment. Dual Credit coursework taken at a higher education institution (not in a CCSD classroom) is considered to be external credit. Concurrent credits are taken when a student attends a CCSD school full-time and earns credit at another school at the same time. Concurrent credits must be pre-approved by the school of full-time enrollment. SOURCE: NAC 389.040 INTERNAL CREDIT Students are enrolled in courses at their school of full-time enrollment to earn the majority of the credits needed for graduation. Your high school has a list of all the courses being offered for internal credit in this catalog. That list contains core subject areas and elective courses. Additional internal credit examples are listed below. High School Credit Taken in Middle School Certain coursework taken in middle school (grades 6-8) may be counted as credit required to graduate from high school.

There is typically a cost. Dual Enrollment courses taught through a formal cooperative agreement with CCSD are considered to be internal credit. CTE College Credit Students complete state-approved programs in CTE to earn postsecondary credit at no cost to the student. CTE College Credit is articulated credit (the high school coursework aligns to postsecondary courses) and the teacher of record is a high school CTE teacher. Students complete an application through the college of their choice (e.g. CSN). To qualify for the CTE College Credit, students must earn a 3.0 GPA in the CTE course sequence, pass the state end-of-program technical content assessment, and pass the state Workplace Readiness assessment for employability skills. Families can use Campus Student/Parent Progress Report to track progress toward a CTE program (career tech program) online. Students that complete a CTE program of study according to the criteria are eligible to earn the CTE College Credit within three years of graduating from high school and upon admission to the postsecondary institution. The amount of credit is dependent upon the state standards for each high school CTE program and how the standards align to the college courses for a certificate or degree in a related career pathway. Credit by Exam (CBE) Students can earn credit for certail courses in which they demonstrate mastery of course material. CBE is not a credit retrieval option. To be eligible to take a CBE, the student must not have previously been enrolled in the course and received a progress grade. Nevada Learning Academy (NVLA) offers a variety of options for CBE.

25 Code of Honor NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION There is a clear expectation that all students will perform academic tasks with honor and integrity, with the support of parents, staff, faculty, administration, and the community. The learning process requires students to think, process, organize, and create their own ideas. Throughout this process, students gain knowledge, self-respect, and ownership in the work that they do. These qualities provide a solid foundation for life skills, impacting people positively throughout their lives. Cheating and plagiarism violate the fundamental learning process and compromise personal integrity and one’s honor. Students demonstrate academic honesty and integrity by not cheating, plagiarizing, or using information unethically in any way. What is cheating? Cheating or academic dishonesty can take many forms, but always involves the improper taking of information from and/or giving of information to another student, individual, or other source. Examples of cheating can include, but are not limited to: Taking or copying answers on an examination or any other assignment from another student or other source Giving answers on an examination or any other assignment to another student Copying assignments that are turned in as original work Collaborating on exams, assignments, papers, and/or projects without specific teacher permission Allowing others to do the research or writing for an assigned paper Using unauthorized electronic devices Falsifying data or lab results, including changing grades electronically What is plagiarism? Plagiarism is a common form of cheating or academic dishonesty in the school setting. It is representing another person’s works or ideas as your own without giving credit to the proper source and submitting it for any purpose. Examples of plagiarism can include, but are not limited to: Submitting someone else’s work, such as published sources in part or whole, as your own without giving credit to the source Turning in purchased papers or papers from the Internet written by someone else Representing another person’s artistic or scholarly works such as musical compositions, computer programs, photographs, drawings, or paintings as your own Helping others plagiarize by giving them your work All stakeholders have a responsibility in maintaining academic honesty. Educators must provide the tools and teach the concepts that afford students the knowledge to understand the characteristics of cheating and plagiarism. Parents must support their students in making good decisions relative to completing course work assignments and taking exams. Students must produce work that is theirs alone, recognizing the importance of thinking for themselves and learning independently, when that is the nature of the assignment. Adhering to the Code of Honor for the purposes of academic honesty promotes an essential skill that goes beyond the school environment. Honesty and integrity are useful and valuable traits impacting one’s life. Questions or concerns regarding the consequences associated with a violation of the Code of Honor may be directed towards your child’s school administration and/or the school district.
