Roughly one-third or more are Hispanic; 10 percent African-American. Asian and Syrian students also attend Dieruff. Approximately one-third or more of the students receive free or reduced-priced lunch. Special Features include: * School-based management - Teachers, parents and district-administratore share decision-making responsibilities, largely through school council. * Computer technology - The $116,000 investment in computer hardware and software is focused on helping at-risk students improve basic skills. * Kutztown Alliance - Beginning this year, 25 ninth- graders are participating in a special district program to expose them to higher education. They become involved through a one-week summer program and school- year attendance at educational, cultural, and sports events at Kutztown University that will continue through 12th grade. These students, identified in eighth grade, have demonstrated academic potential but are believed to be unlikely to go on to higher education without special opportunities. The alliance among the city, university and corporations also will provide scholarships. Parents attend orientation and sign an agreement giving their commitment to the program. Dieruff was recognized as an exemplary secondary school by the U.S. Department of Education in 1984-85. Attendance is good, and the dropout rate has decreased to below 10 percent, significantly below the state figure of 18 percent. The district is working with Lehigh University to measure the impact of educational programs at Dieruff.

DIERUFF HIGH SCHOOL OR FORCE STRENGTH THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AIR FORCE JUNIOR RESERVE OFFICER TRAINING CORPS (AFJROTC) TR 37 TFW Interested in learning about the United States Air Force? Have you ever wanted to tour an Air Force Base? Do you want to receive extra rank and pay if you enlist in the armed services? If you answered yes to any of these questions, join the PA-11 Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC). Lieutenant Colonel Arnold and Master Sergeant Coleman, who have retired from the Air Force and each serving for over twenty years, will teach you about leadership, the history and theory of flight, survival, meteorology, and many other fascinating subjects. When you enroll in AFJROTC, there is no military commitment. Each year, the cadets of PA-11 travel to McGuire Air Force Base to witness how the United States Air Force operates on a daily basis. The first year cadets tour the flight lines, the C-141 Starlifter cargo planes, and the security stations. The second, third, and fourth year cadets take part in a flight onboard a C-141 or a C-130 Hercules aircraft. Another aspect of the tour is learning how the base is run by the administration. These trips are paid for by the Corps. After successfully completing three years of AFJROTC, you earn a certificate which gives you some advantages should you enlist in any of the armed services. Having completed three or more years of AFJROTC, you may not be required to attend all of basic training. In addition, you will also be paid two pay grades higher than someone without JROTC experience. PA-11 AFJROTC offers several activities for you to participate in. The first and most prominent is the PA-11 Color Guard, which presents the American Flag at different ceremonies throughout the area The next activity is the Exhibition Drill Team, which demonstrates precision military maneuvers at the annual inspection and at the annual Promotions ceremony. Another activity you have the chance to participate in is the Corps Newsletter, which is written and produced entirely by the cadets. By working and studying hard, you will be promoted and may be asked to join the PA-11 Staff. The Staff organizes and runs the Corps, teaches drill, leads the other cadets, and assists the instructors. If you're interested in joining PA-11, you can sign up at the Dieruff Guidance Office.

School District, City of Allentown SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ATTENDANCE SUBJECT: It is the purpose of this policy to set forth the general condition for attendance in the Allentown School District in order that each student derives the most from the school program. It is our belief that good attendance fosters an educational program which is beneficial to all. Good classroom attendance is not only appropriate for the individual but also affects the learning process/atmosphere of the entire class and therefore the school community. Regular attendance at school is by law a parental responsibility. A student and his/her parent(s) or guardian(s) are responsible for the maintenance of a good attendance record. Pennsylvania State Law requires every child to attend regularly. The Allentown School District rules and regulations on attendance will encourage every student to attend school on a regular basis. Success in school is directly related with being in the classroom, joining in class discussion, and doing the assigned work on a regular basis. There is no way to duplicate the classroom experience after the student has been absent. There is no way to replace the impact of a teacher with respect to student learning. Therefore, course credit will be awarded to students only if they meet an attendance requirement in addition to earning a passing grade. The following has been designed to promote communication and cooperation with the home concerning school attendance. PROCEDURE FOR TAKING ATTENDANCE 1. Attendance in the Allentown School District is kept on a daily basis by homeroom teachers. The attendance office(s) are notified of all absentees. 2. Parent(s)/guardian(s) are expected to notify the school by phone on the day of the student's absence. Failure of the parent(s)/guardian(s) to contact the school by 3:00 may result in an illegal or unexcused absence for the day. 3. In addition to the phone contact, parent(s)/guardian(s) are expected to send a note to the homeroom teacher and/or fill out the excuse blank given to the student within three (3) days of each absence. Failure to do this may result in an illegal/unexcused absence. Type Date Revision Category Board Policy 9/85 9/86 Classification Students Group Buildings 3 - - 15 ATTENDANCE RULES AND REGULATIONS COURSE CREDIT MAY BE DENIED WHEN A STUDENT IS ABSENT NINETEEN (19) TIMES FOR 4 YEAR COURSE AND THIRTEEN (13) TIMES FOR A SEMESTER COURSE. 1. After any student has acquired six (6) days of absence, a phone call will be made to the home, a letter will be sent to his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) with a copy of the attendance rules and regulations and a record of the student's attendance. The Guidance Department will be notified and involved in a cooperative approach with the student's attendance status. The attendance office phone numbers for the Allentown School District are the following: Wm. Allen: 820-2350 L.E. Dieruff: 820-2205 820-2221 2. After a student has acquired twelve (12) days of absence (full year course), a second letter will be delivered to his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) by the school community worker along with a copy of the attendance rules and regulations and a record of the student's attendance. After receiving this letter, parent(s)/guardian(s) are required to contact the school for a conference regarding the student's attendance. The Guidance Department will be notified and involved in a cooperative approach with the student's attendance status. 3. After a student has had twelve (12) days of absence (semester course), and no extenuating circumstances exist, a letter will be sent to his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) with a copy of the attendance rules and regulations and a record of the student's attendance. At this time a conference will be held with the principal, the student, and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s). Upon reaching the thirteenth (13) absence and no extenuating circumstances exist, the student will not be granted credit and may be required to repeat the educational program. In addition, the student will be excluded from all school sponsored activities (i.e. athletics, dances, school events, et. al). The assistant principal in charge of attendance and a counselor will determine an alternate educational program for the student. 4. After a student has had eighteen (18) days of absence and no extenuating circumstances exist, a letter will be sent to his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) with a copy of the attendance rules and regulations and a record of the student's attendance. At this time a conference will be held with the principal, the student, and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s). Upon reaching the nineteenth (19th) absence and no extenuating circumstances exist, the student will not be granted credit and may be required to repeat the educational program. In addition, the student will be excluded from all school sponsored activities (i.e. athletics, dances, school events, et. al). The assistant principal in charge of attendance and a counselor will determine an alternate educational program for the student. 3 15 If course credit is withdrawn, one of the following options or any other appropriate option may be exercised. (a) Student remain in class after course credit has been withdrawn. (b) Recommended alternate school or program placement for the remainder of the semester/school year. These may include: (1) A.E.P. placement (grades ten (10) and above) (2) Furlough (3) Off-site Attendance Alternative School (4) Partial student schedule. NOTE 1: Some credit may be earned in an alternative program. NOTE 2: Days of suspension will not be included in the attendance plan. 3 - 15 ALLENTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT Substance Abuse Policy 1. The Board of School Directors of Allentown School District recognizing that the abuse of Substances is a serious problem with legal, physical, emotional, and social implications for the whole school community, adopts the position that the abuse of Substances interferes with learning. 2. The Board of School Directors recognizes that all students have a right to be educated in a safe and healthy environment with due consideration for their legal rights and responsibilities. 3.

Violations of this policy as defined and described within the parameters of the Substance Abuse Administrative Regulations may result in permanent expulsion from school by the Board of Directors or a lesser administrative penalty. 6. Student Support Systems consisting of specially trained school personnel will be established at each building to ensure appropriate identification, interventions and support for at risk students in compliance with the district's confidentiality policy. 7. This policy will be implemented through the cooperative efforts of the faculty, administration, school employee groups, students, parents/guardians and community agencies of the Allentown School District. 1.0 DEFINITIONS The following words and phrases when used in these Regulations shall, for the purpose of the Regulations, have the meanings respectively ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning: 1.

DIERUFF HIGH SCHOOL We, the professional staff of Louis E. Dieruff High School, a comprehensive school in a culturally diverse and mainly service-oriented community, are conscious of the opportunities and the challenges that confront us. While we are aware of our responsibilities to our community, we also recognize the need to motivate and to guide our students to an awareness that extends beyond their local environment. We believe, therefore, that our school must provide the opportunity for each student to develop and advance academically, vocationally, physically, aesthetically, morally, and socially, Because of the diverse cultural backgrounds of our students, we attempt to focus on each student's highest ability rather than merely adhering to conventional standards of achievement. We submit that the opportunity to develop one's full potential is democracy's highest legacy and that this potential is best attained in an atmosphere of stability where understanding, mutual respect, and an appreciation of human diversity flourish. We believe that a formal education is an important introduction to the continuing adventure of life. In order to enrich this life, we strive to instill in our students a hierarchy of values: an enthusiasm for learning, an appreciation of knowledge, and a willingness to participate responsibly in the global community. 1991-92 Louis E.

Teachers will require homework of all students. The amount of homework assigned will vary depending on the ability of the individual student. It is expected that the amount of homework assigned will increase as students move from elementary to middle and senior high school. Representatives of the school community (adminis- trators, teachers, parents, students) are encouraged to study these broad guidelines and formulate more specific or additional ones. The creation of compatible guidelines that are - appropriate to a particular school building will enhance the overall effectiveness of homework.

DIERUFF HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM OF STUDIES -A STUDENT GUIDE- 1992-1993 ALLENTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA PLANNING YOUR SCHOOL PROGRAM SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDENTS One of the major goals of education is to meet the educational needs of every student. The selection of courses, beginning in the eight grade, is a very significant step in your educational planning. You and your counselor should study your achievement record, review your plans, explore your interests and abilities and develop a realistic long-range educational plan. During your selection of courses each year you will review and modify that plan as your interests and goals change. Planning your program each year is also a time for personal evaluation and honest discussion with your counselor and your parents. Your final choice of subjects must meet the approval of your parents, your counselor, and you. The educational program tries to meet your needs as a student, as well as to introduce you to as many subject areas as possible. You are urged to make an effort to avoid oextremes in specialization at the high school level and to plan programs which will reflect training in all of the major areas. Dieruff High School offers courses to meet the educational and vocational interests of students: 1. Education for admission to 4-year colleges or universities or other post-high school courses. 2. Education for entry into positions in offices as stenographers, typists, file clerks, and receptionists. 3. Basic education with specialization in a field such as art, music, home economics and industrial arts which may lead to immediate employment or a specialized post-high school course for continued training. 4. Trade and Industrial education (half-day at Lehigh County Area Vocational Technical School). Grades 10,11,12. PREPARATION FOR COLLEGE Students who are planning to enter a four-year college or university must realize that entrance requirements as well as graduation requirements vary with each institution. It is important that college- bound students begin to study college catalogs and consult with their counselors in the freshman year. It is imperative that students continue their study of mathematics, science, and foreign languages to meet the limits of their ability and not to meet the minimum requirements of any one college. Every college admissions committee looks favorably upon the student who has studied in subjects beyond minimum requirements. Many colleges will exempt students from basic required courses when the high school records indicate advanced study, and the students indicate proficiency by special examination. In addition to wise course selection, high academic achievement is an essential requirement for college admission. PREPARATION FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THE BUSINESS WORLD Student intending to enter the office work force upon graduation or to continue post secondary business training are encouraged to begin business courses in ninth grade. Students progress through the program specializing in secretarial, clerical, or accounting areas. Students are prepared for the office of today and introduced to the technological office of tomorrow. Opportunity exists for eligible senior students (with good grades, attendance, and skills) to find employment through a cooperative work program. PREPARATION FOR EMPLOYMENT OR FOR ADMISSION TO SPECIAL PROGRAMS Not every student should go on to a four-year college. Many students need the opportunity to explore areas of interest which may lead to employment after graduation or to enrollment in a technical school, community college, or junior college. For some junior and senior students there is also the possibility of combining studies with part-time employment in a job for which they have ability and interest and in which they plan to continue after graduation from high school. TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL PREPARATION Students are prepared for employment or for post-high school training in a variety of trade and occupational fields through a cooperative program in which they study academic subjects at Dieruff High School one-half day and the occupational preparation course in a shop laboratory at the Lehigh County Area Vocational Technical School for one-half day. Students are able to explore and develop basic skills in three specialty shop areas in grade ten. They select one specialty laboratory course for the last quarter of 10th grade and continue it through 11th and 12th grade. Students are selected for the Level I, II, and III courses on the basis of achievement, aptitude, and teacher recommendation. Since the time spent in attending academic classes is limited, students are able to meet only the minimum graduation requirements. There is no opportunity for elective subjects. Students, therefore, must successfully complete all scheduled subjects to qualify for graduation. SCHEDULE PLANNING GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS As you plan your schedule each year, it will be necessary for you to make an appraisal of your capabilities, interests, and goals. You must be familiar with the courses of study and understand the requisites for each course you wish to elect. Consult with your counselor and with subject teachers concerning any subject whose content is not clear. There is flexibility which provides the opportunity for college-bound students to elect some business subjects or other subjects of interest. Students not planning specifically for college admission may elect courses which are usually elected by college-bound students. However, it is important for students to plan carefully to avoid accumulating a group of unrelated courese. A student who is uncertain about his/her goals should seriously consider including in his/her schedule a minimum of courses which may be offered for admission to a post-high school program. If you plan to apply for college admission, you need to be aware of college admission requirements. You should remember, however, that these are usually minimum requirements. It is imperative that you study catalogues to determine requirements for graduation. You must remember also that many colleges do not look favorably on a candidate who has carried a minimum schedule each year. Your best preparation is to study subjects in each major area with concentration in at least one area. Every college-bound student should learn to type before leaving high school. A four year college education is not the best choice for everyone. There are many fine post-high school courses of one, two, or three years. Students who do not wish to continue their studies beyond high school will be well prepared for employment by wise course selection combined with a high level of achievement. Before you plan your course, read the following guidelines carefully. 1. All students must study a minimum of five and one-half units of work each year in addition to health and physical education. Students will not be permitted to have more than five (5) study periods a week. 2. Students will study in the basic subjects at the level of their ability and past achievement regardless of vocational interest. 3. Students will choose electives on the basis of interest, ability, and achievement and should reflect a sequential development. 4. Students planning to major in mathematics in college should study Physics in high school. 5. All college-bound students are encouraged to complete Biology, Chemistry and Physics. 6. College-bound students who study Chemistry in grade ten should be prepared to study Physics in grade eleven. 7. Students who have completed the study of Algebra I and Algebra II in grades 8 and 9 should continue the study of mathematics to the completion of College Algebra and Trigonometry as a minimum. 8. All college-bound students are encouraged to complete a minimum of 4 units in the same Foreign Language with 3 consecutive years of that language in the senior high school. 9. Students must carefully plan their selection of courses with parents and counselor. 10. All student course requests are honored unless a schedule conflict prohibits a student from enrolling in a class. 11. Classes in elective subjects will be scheduled only if a sufficient number of students enroll. 12. English I must be successfully completed before taking English II, and so forth. 13. A student taking 9th grade general mathematics must pass this course before taking other math courses. 14. Students enrolled in an A.P. course are encouraged to take the A.P. examination. 15. Driver Training Theory is required for graduation. 16. A failure in Physical Education can only be made up in summer school. 17. Each Gifted, Honors, Advanced Placement, and Level IV Foreign Language (Level II Latin) course will be weighted in determining honor roll and class rank (Honor Roll A=5, B=4 - Class .2 year course, .1 semester course). A grade of an A or B must be earned in order to receive the weighted grade point. HONORS AND ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM Honors classes in selected subjects are offered in the freshman, sophomore and junior years. Advanced Placement classes are offered in selected subjects in the senior year. Honors courses in English and mathematics provide sequential preparation for Advanced Placement courses in English and mathematics. Although the science is not sequential, it is advantageous for students to prepare for the Advanced Placement courses by experiencing the challenge and enrichment of the Honors courses in science. The sixth level of a modern foreign language also offers the opportunity for study at the Advanced Placement level. Students are selected to participate in the Honors and Advanced Placement courses by meeting the following requirements: 1. Demonstrating ability to do difficult work predicted on teacher recommendation. 2. Test scores on standardized tests in reading. 3. Achievement scores on standardized tests in English and mathematics. 4. Emotional stability. 5. Student interest in such placement. 6. Approval of parent or guardian for such placement. Trial placement may be effected if there is deficiency in one or more of the foregoing only if there is approval by the Principal. To remain in an Honors or Advanced Placement class a student must maintain an average of B. Very few students have difficulty maintaining this standard. However, if a student cannot maintain this average during the first semester, he/she may be transferred to the corresponding course developed for the college- bound student. If the student's final average in an Honors subject falls below a B, he/she will not be permitted to continue in the Honors or Advanced Placement class of that subject the following year. Every student who completes an Advanced Placement course should take the Advanced Placement Examination of the College Entrance Examination Board in that subject. There is a fee for each examination. The cost should not prevent any student's taking an A.P. examination. Counselors are able to assist students who may find the high cost a deterrent. A high score in an A.P. examination, in addition to a high level of achievement in the high school A.P. course may qualify a student for advanced placement or credit or both at the college level. Examinations are given in May and are three hours in length. The student's grade is sent to him/her, to the high school, and to the college of his/her choice. The benefits that go with Advanced Placement and credit are numerous. Advanced Placement in college allows you to avoid repeating work you've already completed. You can also take advanced courses in your A.P. subject, explore other subjects that interest you, and join honors and other special programs. If you earn the required grade on an A.P. Exam, you may receive the equivalent of 6-8 semester hours or 10-12 quarter hours of credit, probably worth between $300 and $1,000. If you're granted a full year of college credit, the savings could be from $3,000 to $13,000. PROGRAM FOR THE MENTALLY GIFTED Special classes are offered in the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years for students identified as mentally gifted through objective criteria developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Bureau of Special Education. Mentally gifted pupils rank among the top three per cent of the nation's school-age population. They derive special benefit from individualized programs using school professional personnel, special services personnel and community personnel to develop their potential to the fullest possible degree. The criteria used to identify the mentally gifted include teacher recommendation, academic achievement, group psychological testing, individual psychological testing (an I.Q. score of 130 or above in an individual psychological test is required), and in interest inventories. Classes for the mentally gifted are offered in the following curricular areas: English, mathematics, science, social studies and foreign languages. A list of all such classes by school year appears below. Each individual class is described in its appropriate section elsewhere in the booklet. Although programs such as mathematics are sequential, the overall program for the mentally gifted is a flexible one, able to accommodate new students entering high school who are evaluated and identified as mentally gifted. The program is one of enrichment as well as acceleration. Projects and research may cross disciplines to provide more stimulating, challenging and realistic activities for students. Every student in a class for the mentally gifted for which there is a corresponding Advanced Placement class shall take the Advanced Placement Examination of the College Entrance Examination Board in that subject. There is a fee for each examination. The cost should not prevent any student's taking an A.P. examination. Counselors are able to assist students who may find the cost a deterrent. A high score in an A.P. examination, in addition to a high level of achievement in the class itself, may qualify student for advanced placement or credit or both at the college level. Examinations are given in May and are three hours in length. The student's grade is sent to him/her, to the high school, and to the college of his/her choice.

The student reads extensively in a wide range of genre, learns how to analyze what is read, and often writes essays on reading material. Much attention is given to the development of vocabulary, and speaking and listening skills are refined. Considerable attention is given to such writing skills as spelling and punctuation. 101 ENGLISH I 5 Periods 1 Yr 1.0 Unit Gr 9 Required for graduation English I is a course for all freshmen. The course emphasizes reading/literature, composition, and grammar/usage skills. Every student studies selected literary works. Composition assignments require the student to narrate experiences, develop ideas and respond to literary selections.
