Graduation RequirementsSTATE OF MINNESOTA EDUCATION EXPECTATIONS
The State of Minnesota established new educational requirements for all Minnesota schools and students. First, the State directed the Department of Education to set subject area expectations for what is taught in language arts, math, science, and social studies. The subject area expectations are called the Academic Standards. Second, the State determined that all students are required to earn a certain number of course credits in grades nine through twelve in order to graduate from high school. Students will take State tests called the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA) in elementary school, junior high school, and high school to measure how well they have learned the Academic Standards. In addition, students are still required to pass the Minnesota Basic Skills Test in reading, written composition, and math in order to graduate. The new State mandated educational requirements have led to changes in District 279—Osseo Area Schools. Each subject area will contain the appropriate Academic Standards and, most importantly, all ninth grade courses will count toward graduation. Ninth grade students must pass all courses in order to be on track to graduate with their class in June 2010. Students entering grade nine in 2005 must pass the Minnesota Basic Skills Test in reading, written composition, and math. In addition, students must earn the following course credits in order to graduate from high school in District 279: 12 trimester credits English/Language Arts 9 trimester credits Math 9 trimester credits Science 10 trimester credits Social Studies 2 trimester credits Life Fitness/Health (must be taken in grades 10-12) 3 trimester credits Arts (theater, visual arts, media arts, music) 19 trimester credits Electives 64 Total Trimester Credits
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Students must earn 64 credits in grades 9-12 in order to graduate from Osseo Area School. Ninth grade students must pass all trimester courses to be on track for graduation. If a student fails to satisfactorily complete specified curricular areas, he/she may be required to repeat courses in the areas of deficiency to insure future academic success. It is the responsibility of the student and parent(s)/guardian(s) to be familiar with these guidelines.
