by Dina Ingram 10 May '24

10 May '24

Dear Junior families, Please see below the announcement from the Student Union regarding Junior Prom tickets now available for sale. Note that tickets are limited to the size of the boat, thus limited to first come, first served to 300 attendees. This will be a school chaperoned event. You may send questions or concerns to Mr. Polazzo at polazzo(a)stuy.edu, our coordinator of student affairs. Best, Dina Dina Ingram Business Manager/ Director of Family Engagement Stuyvesant High School 212-312-4800 ext. 2731 - Office 347-224-6673 - Mobile www.stuy.edu https://tinyurl.com/StuyBlog Junior Prom tickets can finally be purchased here<https://stuy.enschool.org/apps/forms2/?f=44673>!! Prom will be on June 5 with tickets being $93 per person. We understand that this price may have been higher than expected, but we do want to share that we have raised over $12,000 by writing proposals for outside donations and holding several in-school fundraisers. These have allowed us to lower tickets to $93 from the original price of $130. Food will be served buffet style on the boat during the 3-hour cruise, and more details will be sent out as the date approaches. At the moment, we will be holding off on allowing people to purchase more than one ticket because we want to ensure that as many Stuy juniors will be able to attend as possible.

We will start with the Advanced Placement (AP) preference request process for students in Grades 9-11 (current Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors) and then the Elective course preferences. You must read and review the key information thoroughly, including the Advanced Placement and Elective descriptions and the required prerequisites/eligibility needed for the respective course/s, so you are prepared to submit your preferences correctly and by the designated deadlines. Your preferences are used to build your overall student program--we build student programs by prioritizing graduation requirements and by giving each student a minimum of 7.5 periods (Physical Education and Lunch included).

When the AP and Elective preference forms are released in Talos on the designated date/times, you will have the opportunity to fill out the course preference form to inform the school of the AP and/or Elective courses you would prefer to take for next school year. Please be aware no student is guaranteed a seat in a course until student programs are finalized, which will be available in September 2024. Review the Fall 2024 course offerings<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-jmzmHhxkPQKTzspBt3GIlrZlX1s63r3uBm…> to explore the courses and prerequisites/eligibility requirements. The total number of AP courses you are eligible to request is based on your Stuyvesant GPA. The Stuyvesant GPA is defined as the GPA you have earned from classes taken at Stuyvesant only--middle school grades are not included even if they appear on your high school transcript. *Total Number of AP Courses Allowed Qualification Up to 1 AP Course GPA < 88 Up to 2 AP Courses 88 ≤ GPA < 93 Up to 3 AP Courses 93 ≤ GPA < 95 Up to 4 AP Courses GPA ≥ 95 NOTE: * If the next Math course in your sequence is AP Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus AB, or AP Statistics, it will not count toward your overall AP limit. You will get an extra section, titled AP MATH, to select it. AP Calculus BC will be counted toward the number of AP classes allowed. * If you wish to apply to more than one AP Math course, the additional AP Math course will count toward your AP limit. * Students who require an AP World Language course to complete their three-year sequence in Stuyvesant for the Advanced Regents Diploma (including the Stuy Endorsement) will NOT have an AP World Language course counted in the total number of AP courses allowed. You will get an extra section, titled AP WORLD LANGUAGE, to select it. However, if a rising senior has completed their three-year sequence and is choosing to take AP World Language in their fourth year, this course will be counted in their AP course total. * Students who request 4 or more AP courses will be reviewed by the Administration, Guidance, and teachers to ensure the student will be able to handle the academic course load (homework, classwork, etc) and expectations of the course. * Reminder: Your course preferences are used to build your overall student program--we build student programs by prioritizing graduation requirements and by giving each student a minimum of 7.5 periods (Physical Health and Lunch included). DIRECTIONS TO SUBMIT COURSE PREFERENCES: Review the instructions below including screenshots to understand how to submit your course preferences in Talos. Students will not see the available screens in Talos until we open up the AP course preferences request on May 3. REMINDER: Course selection is NOT First Come First Serve basis--you do NOT get preference if you are the first one to finish your selections, so take your time determining which courses you would prefer to request You should see three tabs: Dashboard; Grades; and Graduation Requirements. Dashboard is an overview and contains your current choices, your schedule, and your course applications (see below). [cid:266387f8-277c-4af2-8be0-2c768b451afe@namprd08.prod.outlook.com] Grades tab has your transcript data and is used to determine your eligibility to select certain courses.Once you are on the Grades tab, click the drop down under ALL SCHOOLS and choose 02M475, so that you are viewing only Stuyvesant grades. [cid:d5f5423e-1eb3-487a-b403-e35ce273afe4@namprd08.prod.outlook.com] The Graduation Requirements tab contains a button named Course Selection Form. It will appear when the selection starts. Before then, you will not be able to locate it. [cid:3c152495-6030-46a0-bae7-064ea7699347@namprd08.prod.outlook.com] Please consult the course eligibility rule, found by searching the course on the course list (located in the menu on the left). IMPORTANT: The Talos course selection options include a “waitlist” option. This option should not be used to add courses that you cannot qualify for (i.e. a rising sophomore applying for an AP that is available only to seniors). If you do not meet the grade requirements for a course, you will see a WAITLIST option. Both the regular list and waitlist will be provided to the department chairs so they can select students for their courses. You should only rank each AP course one time. Duplicating a course in your rankings does notincrease your chances of placement. “No Choice” should be selected if there is no other course listed that meets your interest and/or you do not have a preference. [cid:f6ac5e73-64d7-425b-8af8-785a95c6b6e2@namprd08.prod.outlook.com] For rising juniors and seniors, there are two steps to completing your AP English selection: Step 1: You must rank AP English in the AP Courses section. Step 2: Rank your AP English course options. If you did not rank AP English, you will not be considered for any of the choices you’ve selected in the AP English section. If you did select AP English but did not rank the AP English choices then you will be not considered for any of the choice options. [cid:27fd074b-9fb7-4d37-b285-27a225cc7789@namprd08.prod.outlook.com] Finally, please note, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course. Again, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course. If there is an issue with not seeing an AP course or the waitlist option, please email programoffice(a)stuy.edu<mailto:programoffice@stuy.edu>.
