NHS Planning
Guide1
Important Information, Policies, and
Procedures
Scheduling and Scheduling Changes
NHS counselors will meet individually in January-February with each student to review course selections for
the upcoming school year. Once this meeting has occurred, students may request schedule changes by
utilizing the Schedule Change Request Form. Students may request changes through the last student
day of the school year. After this period, changes must be approved by the Directors of School Counseling
and/or NHS Administration. Because of this, students and parents should check their tentative schedule
carefully to make sure all classes for the student's selected diploma are scheduled.
The NHS master schedule is built based on student course requests to best meet the needs of all of our
students. An important life skill is making informed, mindful decisions and then accepting the resulting
responsibilities and consequences. This applies to the scheduling process. When students select their
courses, both semester and year-long, they are committing to remain in these courses throughout the school
year. Because of this, students and parents should carefully consider all of their course options.
Auditing Courses
Students who have failed a course or earned a grade of “D+“ or lower may retake the course to better master
its content or to meet minimum grade requirements for an Academic or Technical Honors Diploma.
• Only audits of the same course are allowed; a similar course of a lower level of difficulty (i.e.
unweighted grade) may not be considered an audit of a more difficult course.
• Students who plan to retake the second semester of a year-long course may also retake the first
semester of that course.
• Only the new grade will appear on the student’s transcript and be factored into the student’s grade
point average. The original course grade will be replaced with the letter “R” (retaken), and all grade
data will be removed.
• No additional credit is earned when a student audits a course.
• Audits under any other circumstances must be approved by the principal or designee. Requests to
audit or retake a course may be denied by the principal/designee if sections are overfilled.
1Weighted Grades
Noblesville High School currently has tiered system for weighting grades. Weighted courses will receive a
weight of 1.0 point, 0.75 points, or 0.5 points as indicated in the attached List of Weighted Courses.
Grade Point Average Quality Points

2Receiving High School Credit for Middle
School World Language and Math
Middle school students may elect to receive credit for high school world language and math courses taken
prior to the freshman year. Students and parents should carefully read guidelines and requirements when
making this informed decision.
Learn how to receive high school credit for Spanish I.
Learn how to receive high school credit for Algebra and Geometry.
Students electing to receive high school credit should complete the corresponding “Letter of Understanding”
electronically. Students may choose to accept credit in one or both areas.
Math forms must be submitted by the first day of school following the 8th grade year.
World Language forms must be submitted by March 1st of the sophomore year in order to receive high school
credit.
Alternative Physical Education Credit
The Indiana State Board of Education has granted local school districts the flexibility of awarding students
Physical Education credit that demonstrate proficiency through alternative means. Students who
demonstrate mastery of the Indiana Academic Standards for PE, as documented by a coach, sponsor, or
director, may be eligible for alternative PE credit.
NHS students may earn an Alternative Physical Education Credit Contract for the following NHS sports and
activities:

roster of students who successfully participate in the full season of their activity.
Beginning with the class of 2024, students will only be able to earn one alternative PE credit. PE I must

Flex Scheduling Options
Flex 12
We encourage students who are planning on pursuing a post-secondary education to take
courses that will prepare them for the rigors of a college schedule. To help seniors prepare for
the next stage of their lives, we are providing those students who take a rigorous course load
the option of having a flex schedule (Flex 12). To qualify, students must meet the following
requirements:
• Student must be on track to graduate on time with a Core 40 or Honors diploma and have 40
credits at the completion of grade 11.
• Student must take four or more in-house Noblesville High School flex qualified courses.
Qualified courses = AP courses, Dual-Credit courses, PLTW Capstone Courses, PLTW Dual
Credit Courses, NHS Internship Program (only counts as one course regardless of the number
of credits earned).
• Student must maintain academic proficiency in the qualified courses. Failure to maintain a C
or higher on semester grade-checks in all courses will result in the loss of Flex 12.
• Student must follow all school policies and procedures, including timely completion of the
required College and Career Readiness activities, or risk forfeit of this privilege. (See below)
• Student must be enrolled in random drug testing.
• Student must be in and remain in good standing.
• Parents must sign an agreement allowing the student on a flex schedule to leave school
grounds.
A student who takes four qualifying courses can choose to take no additional courses or can
choose to take 1-3 additional courses.
21Junior Flex AL
Goals and Purpose: We encourage students who are on a college or university track to take a
rigorous schedule of courses during their junior year. All current research indicates that a
student who does so is more successful at the college and university level. We also encourage
students to prepare themselves beyond the academic challenges coming in their post-
secondary school lives. One of the greatest of these challenges is handling new freedoms and
choices open to them after graduation.
Juniors who take a rigorous schedule—equivalent to a half-semester of college credit—will be
given the option of flex scheduling their academic lab. During the flex academic lab, juniors will
make choices about the use of discretionary time, but they will be required to maintain
academic proficiency, follow established procedures, and manage their flex time well.
During flex academic lab qualifying juniors are permitted to stay and get academic help from
teachers or participate in club activities. Once students finish working with a teacher or a club
meeting they may leave campus or check into the Media Center for supervised free time.
Students who do not need to stay for a club meeting, to get academic help, or wish to go to the
media center must leave campus during flex 11 AL. Students must check out according to the
established procedures.
To Qualify for Junior Flex Academic Lab:
• Student must be on track to graduate, with 26 credits by the end of grade 10, and be pursuing
a Core 40, AHD, or THD diploma.
• Must have a GPA of 3.25 or higher at the end of the 10th grade year.
• Students must take two or more in-house Noblesville High School flex qualified courses.
Qualified Courses = AP courses, Dual-Credit courses, PLTW Capstone Courses, and/or PLTW
Dual Credit Courses.
• Student must maintain academic proficiency in all courses. Failure to maintain a C or higher
on 9-week grade checks all courses will result in the loss of Flex 11 Academic Lab.
• Student must follow all school policies and procedures, including timely completion of the
required College and Career Readiness activities, or risk forfeit of this privilege. (See below.)
• Student must be enrolled in the random drug testing program.
• Student must be in and remain in good standing.
• Parents must sign an agreement allowing students on a flex schedule to leave school grounds
during Flex 11 AL.
22College and Career Readiness Requirements
• Students will be required to submit proof of participating in two (2) of the following activities
per semester:
• College and university representative presentations
• College and university visits to campus
• “Colleges I am Thinking About” module in Naviance
• Resume placed in Naviance
• CCR workshops for college readiness (Financial Aid Night, College Night, N.I.C.E. Fair)
• SAT/prep program on Kahn Academy
• Taking SAT or ACT
Scheduling:
• Juniors interested in a Flex 11 AL should fill out the Intent to Apply form. Please discuss any
questions with your guidance counselor.
• The Noblesville High School master schedule has been developed to accommodate the needs
of all students at NHS. Guidance counselors will not change schedules of individual juniors in
order to qualify for a flex schedule. For example, counselors will NOT move a class from first
semester to second semester in order to create the flex option
The Junior Flex AL is not required, nor is it a right. Students should work carefully with parents
and their guidance counselors to determine if this schedule is in their best interest. School
officials may revoke this privilege at any time if the student does not follow school policies or if
the student is unable to handle the discretionary time or academic load.
