[IMPORTANT] Fall 2024 Program Change Request Information
by Dina Ingram 27 Aug '24

27 Aug '24

The following email was sent to your child at their stuy.edu<http://stuy.edu/> email address. This is a courtesy copy for you. August 27, 2024 Dear Students, Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! The first day of classes begins on September 5, 2024, and we have created preliminary student programs (schedules) so you are on track to fulfill graduation and Stuyvesant endorsement requirements. Our goal starting on the first day is for each student to establish the important teacher-student and student-student relationships needed in each class so you build momentum each day for a successful year. You may have seen a preliminary program on the MySchools, TeachHub, or parent NYC Schools account; however, please note that student schedules are not finalized, and information on period times is inaccurately posted. Finalized student schedules for all students (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors) will be available on Talos<https://talos.stuy.edu/auth/login/?next=/users/students> on Thursday, August 29, 2024. Students in grades 10, 11, and 12 will have the opportunity to request ONE program change submission through Talos<https://talos.stuy.edu/auth/login/?next=/users/students>following the schedule below. Incoming grade 9 (freshmen) students will have an opportunity to fix any program issues with their counselor on the first days of school (9/5/24 and 9/6/24). The program change request process will start on Thursday, August 29, 2024 at 5:00pm, and requests for grades 10, 11 and 12 will only be accepted through Talos<https://talos.stuy.edu/auth/login/?next=/users/students>, the portal to submit a program change request. Please keep in mind a program change request submission does not guarantee the request will result in a changed program schedule. Please note, if a program change request is granted, then you will not be able to drop the course later in the term, so please be mindful of your requests. The request submission is a request only and dependent on many factors including graduation and Stuy endorsement requirements, AP limits and prerequisites, seat availability, and mandated instructional periods and courses/labs. Be sure to review this entire message (and the FAQ<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q7mZF6cWuubeCeidPopqA2uHFw-8AgdKhoFYwLv…>) as we provide more information for what qualifies as one program change request submission along with how and when to submit a program change request. Please note, program change requests on the basis of the following reasons below will be DENIED: * Teacher preference * Period preference. Examples include, but are not limited to: * Travel distance from home * Requests to arrive late/leave early * Changes to lunch period * Undocumented health issues * Classroom location * Requests to reverse previously requested program change The program change request through Talos will be open starting with our upperclassmen and following the timeframe below: Start Date and Time Class/Grade Start Date and Time Seniors Thursday, August 29, 2024, starting at 5:00 pm EST Juniors Friday, August 30, 2024, starting at 9:00 am EST Sophomores Friday, August 30, 2024, starting at 12:00 pm EST Freshmen Thursday, September 5 and Friday, September 6, 2024 (see your counselor for errors only during lunch/free periods) End Date and Time Class/Grade End Date and Time Sophomores, Juniors & Seniors Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at 12:00 pm EST Freshmen (See your School Counselor for errors only on September 5 and 6, 2024, during your free period or lunch) ***IMPORTANT: The deadline for all students to submit a program change request through Talos is Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at 12:00 pm EST. Important Directions and Guidelines (Please Read Thoroughly): * A program change request submission must be accompanied with a justification for the request. A request without justification will be denied. Your justification allows for School Counselors and/or Department Chairs/Assistant Principals to easily identify the purpose of your request, which will inform their decision in either approving or denying the request, or perhaps devising an alternative. The highest priority for a program change request will be given to meeting NYSED graduation requirements and the Stuyvesant endorsement. Finally, if a program change request is granted, then you will not be able to drop the course later in the term, so please be mindful of your requests. * YOU WILL BE LIMITED TO ONLY ONE PROGRAM CHANGE REQUEST. In your one program change request submission, you may need to drop multiple classes and/or add multiple classes. Please be aware that the more actions you are requesting on your ONE request, the less likely it will get approved or even processed because of multiple waitlists and potential conflicts (please see FAQs). * Counselors and Department Chairs/Assistant Principals have the option in Talos to leave messages for you upon approving or denying a request. * Since program change requests are to be exclusively handled through Talos, and messages are being posted and reviewed through Talos; extraneous emails will slow down the process of program changes--do not email the Department Chairs, school counselors, or Program Office with program change requests. Therefore, upon submitting a request, please wait patiently until the request has been handled. **Please note that teachers and counselors do not officially return until Tuesday, September 3, 2024 * Please refer to this grid to find elective courses<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M6XbXAzdGp7NzlovUkZ6GdycFrBTRd9mQNE…> and their period. Please keep in mind that some of the courses might not be available because they are full or have prerequisites. Requesting a course with no available seats or one that you are not qualified to take will reduce the chances of your one request being approved. Follow the directions below to submit a program change request: 1. Click on the “Program Management Portal” 2. Click “Create Change” located on the right 3. Click the corresponding “Drop” button to drop a course 4. Find the requested course in the search area in the lower left and then click, “Add Course” to your schedule. Talos will prevent you from submitting an impossible schedule through red warning dialogues after clicking “Add Course” Upon generating the request, Talos will notify the appropriate Guidance Counselor and Department Chair/Assistant Principal for review and approval/denial. Please refer to the FAQ<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q7mZF6cWuubeCeidPopqA2uHFw-8AgdKhoFYwLv…> to understand the overall program change request process. Please do not reply directly to this email.

25 Aug '24

Hello students and families, We hope you are enjoying the final days of summer vacation. We will soon be reaching out with information for the 2024-2025 school year. Please note that schedules visible on DOE student and parent accounts are preliminary. Finalized schedules will be posted to your Talos account next week, and we will email students and families with instructions and a timeline for submitting program change requests. Do not email program change requests. All requests must go through Talos during the assigned timeline. If you are a parent who has not been on Talos yet, note that parents and guardians who are in the central DOE system will receive a Talos account password from mytalos.com<http://mytalos.com/> later in the week. Please do not make requests during this busy time for NYC Student Accounts for MySchools and TeachHub. We will be sending information on accessing those accounts to students at the start of the school year. Requests for parent NYC Schools Accounts (NYCSA) must be made by the individual parent directly of Ms. Tang at ntang5(a)schools.nyc.gov<mailto:ntang5@schools.nyc.gov>. Access is not shared with students as this is the controlling parent account for all school accounts with access to emergency contact information. Please be patient with the fulfillment of requests bearing in mind that this is a very busy time of the school year. Enjoy the remaining week and holiday weekend of the summer break! We look forward to reaching out soon and welcoming you back to school! All the best, Dina Ingram 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

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.

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>.
