Стажове & Учене, базирано на работа Получаването на избираеми кредити чрез тези опции дава възможност на учениците да продължат да се развиват и да усвояват умения, които ще им помогнат в бъдеще, като същевременно печелят кредити от курсове в гимназията. Стремим се да предоставим изключителни възможности на всички наши ученици. Имаме партньорства с общността, катедри Epic и различни програмни курсове, за да гарантираме, че учениците могат да намерят подходящо място. Стажът е професионална позиция, при която студент работи в организация, понякога без заплащане, за да придобие трудов опит или да отговори на изискванията за квалификация. Обучението чрез работа/работното обучение е образователна стратегия, която предоставя на студентите реален трудов опит, където те прилагат академични и технически умения, за да развият своята пригодност за заетост. Налични програми Виртуална стажантска програма Epic Програмата за виртуални стажове Epic е достъпна за ученици от трети и четвърти клас, които искат да изпълнят изискването за курс „Следваща стъпка“. В зависимост от курса, учениците ще се подготвят или за полагане на изпит за сертифициране, подкрепен от индустрията, или ще развият умения за 21-ви век, докато усъвършенстват професионалната си готовност. Предлагат се два курса: Сертифициране и Ускорена подготовка за кариера. Учениците получават избираеми кредити за завършване на гимназия, когато участват в един от тези курсове, срещат се редовно за уроци в Zoom и изпълняват всички необходими задачи. Научете повече Стаж Стажът на място или от разстояние е професионално обучение, което предлага смислена, практическа работа, свързана с областта на обучение или кариерен интерес на студента. Дава на студента възможност за кариерно проучване и развитие, както и за придобиване на нови умения. Студентите печелят кредит по избор, когато участват в стаж, завършат 60 часа работа, изпълнят 3 задания за меки умения и предадат необходимите формуляри за цел, размисъл и обратна връзка. Научете повече Обучение чрез работа/работа-учене Обучението, базирано на работа, е образователна стратегия, която предоставя на учениците реални трудови преживявания, където те могат да прилагат академични и технически умения и да развиват своята пригодност за заетост. Студентите печелят кредит по избор, когато имат работа, завършат 60 часа работа, изпълнят 3 задания за меки умения и предадат необходимите формуляри за цел, размисъл и обратна връзка. Научете повече Алтернативен стаж Този курс е предназначен за ученици от програмата OAAP в 11 и 12 клас и предоставя възможност за получаване на кредити от курса като стаж, фокусиран специално върху плана за преход на учениците. Курсът предоставя на обучаемите практически стратегии за подобряване на междуличностната, писмената и дигиталната комуникация както в професионална, така и в лична среда. Участниците ще изградят увереност в активното слушане, ясните съобщения и адаптивните стилове на комуникация, чрез практически дейности и приложения в реалния свят. Научете повече Насоки Ще бъде ли одобрен стаж? Ще има ли смисъл преживяването сред природата? Съвпада ли с целите/интересите на ученика след гимназията? Ще позволи ли на ученика да има ръководител/наставник, който може да обучава, да задава очаквания и да предоставя обратна връзка? Стажът подготвя ли по-добре студента за конкретна кариера/позиция след завършване на гимназия? Ще може ли студентът да завърши минимум 60 часа приложен/практически опит чрез този стаж? Ако не можете да отговорите с „да“ на всички горепосочени въпроси, вероятно не е подходящо за стаж. Насърчаваме вашия ученик да мисли извън кутията и се радваме да ви помогнем в мозъчната атака и да си сътрудничим с вас. Ако не сте сигурни относно одобрението за стаж, моля, свържете се с Анита Мануел наanita.manuel@epiccharterschools.org . Предимства Печеленето на избираем кредит с тези опции дава на учениците възможността да продължат да растат и да усвояват умения, които ще им помогнат в бъдеще, като в същото време печелят кредит за гимназиален курс. Допълнение към учебната работа за 9-ти и 10-ти клас Студентите от първокурсници и второкурсници могат да спечелят кредит по избор с възможност за стаж или работно обучение. Тези курсове не са следващи курсове, а избираеми за портфолио. Учениците от 9 и 10 клас ще изпълняват същите типове задачи като учениците от 11 и 12 клас. Учениците ще бъдат заредени в класна стая Schoology. Тази класна стая Schoology ще бъде предварително заредена с всички необходими задачи и формуляри.

Ранно завършване Студентите и родителите на студенти, които изпълнят изискванията за преждевременно дипломиране, трябва да подпишат формуляр, потвърждаващ, че са изпълнили изискванията за преждевременно дипломиране. Ако ученик изпълни всички изисквания за дипломиране преди края на учебната година, той/тя пак ще бъде поканен да участва в годишната церемония по дипломирането на Epic през юни. Ако изискват доказателство за завършено средно образование преди юни следващата година, при поискване ще им бъде предоставена диплома и/или друго подобно доказателство за завършено средно образование. Учениците от гимназията, които не са класирани като зрелостници в началото на учебната година, имат възможност да ускорят курсовата си работа и да участват в церемонията по дипломирането през юни, при условие че изпълнят всички изисквания за курсова работа до официалния последен учебен ден в същата календарна година като годишния юни Церемония по дипломирането. Квалификации Предварителна квалификация за започване Всички студенти, които са на крачка да се дипломират през юни, ще се класират за дипломиране Известия за квалифициране и официална покана за дипломиране ще бъдат направени след 1 март. Тази комуникация ще бъде направена чрез имейл и официално писмо. Известие ще бъде изпратено, когато студентите се класират за дипломиране. Valedictorian & Salutatorians (Val & Sal) Статутът на прославяне и поздравител ще бъде определен отпретеглена кумулативна средна оценка на всички възрастни къмкрая на първия семестър на тяхната последна година . Вал: претегленият кумулативен GPA е по-висок от 4,25 Сал: претегленият кумулативен GPA е между 4,01 и 4,25 Всички абсолвенти, които се квалифицират като Вал или Сал, ще получат съответния медал на церемонията по дипломирането Тримата дипломанти с най-висока претеглена средна оценка ще бъдат поканени да направят забележки на церемонията(ите) по връчването на дипломите. Ако се проведе повече от една церемония по дипломиране поради големината на випуска, тримата дипломанти на всяка церемония с най-висока претеглена средна оценка ще бъдат поканени да дадат забележки. *Ранно дипломирани студенти които са изпълнили всички изисквания за дипломиране през първия семестър на учебната година, също ще бъдат взети предвид за val & сално състояние. Почетен списък на началниците и стипендиантите Почетният статус на началника на училището и стипендианта ще се определя от претегления кумулативен среден успех на всички завършващи студенти към края на първия семестър на последната им година в гимназията . Почетният списък на началника на училището е отличие за всички ученици, получили оценка 4.0, и те получават двоен синьо-златист почетен шнур при дипломирането. Почетният списък на стипендиантите е отличие за всички студенти, печелещи между 3,5 и 3,99, и те получават бял почетен шнур при дипломирането си. Програма за дипломиране За да бъде гарантирано включване в програмата за завършване, студентът трябва да има прогнозна дата на завършване през май на съответната учебна година и не по-късно от 1 май на същата учебна година, тъй като програмата се отпечатва между 1 и 30 май. За да бъдат признати в отпечатаната програма за дипломиране като носители на почетни звания „Суперинтендант“ или „Ученик“, „Валедиктория“ или „Салутатори“, студентите трябва да са завършили първия семестър на последната си година не по-късно от 30 април. Ако чрез ускорено обучение даден студент завърши както първия, така и втория семестър на последната си година в гимназията между 30 април и 30 май, той все пак ще бъде признат за почетен носител на наградата „Суперинтендант“ или „Стипендиант“, тъй като носи почетен шнур по време на церемонията. Той обаче няма да бъде посочен в програмата като такъв почетен носител, тъй като програмата се публикува между 1 май и 30 май. Дипломи Изпращане на диплома по пощата Дипломите се отпечатват, след като завършващият студент е изпълнил всички изисквания за завършване. Всички дипломи се изпращат по пощата на последния пощенски адрес, регистриран за завършващия студент. Всички материали на Epic трябва да бъдат върнати преди дипломите да бъдат изпратени по пощата.

Връзката за регистрация ще бъде достъпна на тази страница и ще бъде изпратена по имейл до отговарящите на условията завършили през месеците преди церемониите. Могат ли учениците да участват в повече от една церемония? Не, учениците могат да участват само в една церемония. Колко гости може да доведе един студент? Участващите абсолвенти могат да доведат колкото гости искат. Кога възрастните хора ще бъдат уведомени за статуса си? Започнахме да уведомяваме учениците през февруари и ще продължим да изпращаме напомняния и известия през остатъка от учебната година. Как се избират изпълнителите на националния химн? Ако сте студент от Epic, който се интересува от изпълнение на националния химн на една от нашите церемонии, просто попълнете формуляра по-долу. Може ли възпитаник на Epic от предишен клас да участва в тазгодишните церемонии? Ако не са успели да присъстват на годината, в която са завършили, поради смекчаващи обстоятелства, ние ще работим с абсолвентите, за да могат да участват в една от церемониите. Ние просто ги молим да изберат „Кус от 2022 г. или по-рано“ от падащия раздел с искане за оценка на ученика при регистрация. Ако имате въпроси или притеснения, моля, свържете се с нас на epicevents@epiccharterschools.org. Изискват ли се абитуриенти да участват? Не, но силно насърчаваме всички абсолвенти да присъстват и да отбележат този важен момент от живота си. Колко време продължава церемонията? Опитваме се всяка церемония да бъде под два часа. Обикновено всяка церемония продължава приблизително 90 минути. Могат ли абитуриентите да минат по сцената с децата си? Не, този ден е запазен само за завършилите и местата са ограничени. Също така, би било потенциална отговорност (и разсейване) да има малки на корта. Предпочитам да използвам име, различно от официалното ми име. Може ли моето предпочитано име да бъде прочетено на церемонията и включено в програмата? Абсолютно. Само ви молим да ни уведомите. Учениците ще могат да напишат името си, както искат да го наричат на церемонията. Но дипломите трябва да посочват юридическото име на студента. Ако името на завършилия е законно променено, официалната документация, показваща юридическата промяна на името, трябва да бъде изпратена в архивите и ние ще актуализираме съответно дипломата. Това важи и за завършилите от предишни години. Ами ако завършилият има специални нужди? Всяко от съоръженията е съвместимо с ADA и преди Epic да сключи споразумения с тях, обсъдихме да се уверим, че всичко, включително сцената, ще бъде напълно достъпно за всички завършили. Освен това, ние работим в тясно сътрудничество с нашия сертифициран екип от специални услуги, за да осигурим настаняване на ВСИЧКИ завършили, които се нуждаят от тях. Молим ви да отбележите какви нужди има завършилият, когато се регистрирате. Някой от нашия отдел за специално образование ще се свърже с вас преди церемонията, за да се увери, че техният екип е готов да помогне на абитуриента и да направи този ден специален за цялото ви семейство. Ще разполагаме и със специални тихи стаи за абсолвенти, които се нуждаят от тихо пространство в деня на дипломирането си. Ще има ли виртуална церемония? Тази година няма да провеждаме виртуална церемония. Ще проведем шест церемонии на живо, лично. Всяка церемония обаче ще бъде предавана на живо на страницата на Epic във Facebook, facebook.com/epiccharterschools и началната страница на уебсайта, epiccharterschools.org. Записите от всяка церемония ще бъдат качени на уебсайта на Epic и Epic YouTube канал. Потърсете ги, за да бъдат добавени към тази уеб страница след церемонията. Ще има ли слайдшоу?

ЗА EPIC Мисията на отдела за подготовка за колеж и кариера е да гарантира, че учениците са готови за бъдещето, търсени и подготвени за успех след гимназията. Ние си партнираме със студентите, така че те да бъдат образовани и оборудвани да преследват възможности, съобразени с техните интереси и краткосрочни и дългосрочни цели. Очакваме, че когато студентите завършат Epic, те се чувстват целеустремени, овластени и развълнувани от следващата си стъпка в живота. Епична общностна работа Мисията на Epic е да издига, овластява и подкрепя нашите ученици и техните семейства. Вкоренени в състрадание и целеустременост, ние работим в рамките на училищната общност, за да предоставим смислени ресурси и възможности, които помагат на семействата да процъфтяват. Чрез ангажиращи и въздействащи програми, общностната работа на Epic прави реална промяна – един ученик, едно семейство, стъпка по стъпка. В Epic сме ангажирани с това да направим света по-добро място – започвайки от нашата собствена общност. През цялата година ние прилагаме инициативи за работа с обществеността, които предоставят основни, осезаеми ресурси, за да помогнат на учениците на Epic и техните семейства да посрещнат реалните си нужди. Нашите усилия за работа с обществеността включват: Есенно палто, шапка и ръкавица С падането на температурите много семейства се затрудняват да си позволят подходяща зимна екипировка. Като събираме палта, шапки и ръкавици, ние помагаме на учениците от Epic да се чувстват на топло, здрави и готови да учат през студените месеци. Пролетен диск за пелени и кърпички Памперсите и кърпичките са основни потребности, които могат да окажат тежко финансово бреме за семействата, които се нуждаят от тях. Всяко дарение облекчава това бреме и осигурява комфорт, чистота и грижа за най-малките членове на нашата Epic общност. Кампания с писма „Прегръдки за герои“ Учениците и семействата им изпращат искрени, ръкописни писма до военнослужещите, разположени в района. Тези писма предлагат надежда, насърчение и признателност на онези, които служат далеч от дома. Този акт на служба помага на нашите ученици да разберат стойността на благодарността и връзката. Тези проекти са нещо повече от просто актове на даряване – те са актове на любов и съпричастност, които носят истинско облекчение, надежда и достойнство на нуждаещите се. Чрез тези усилия семействата от Epic имат шанс да дадат нещо обратно, да подкрепят другите и да станат по-силни заедно.
