STUDY AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, ACADEMIC INTERVEN-<br />
TION (L0720)<br />
5 Credits, One Semester, Grade 9, 10, 11, 12<br />
Prerequisite: None.<br />
The Study and Organizational Skills course is a class designed to<br />
orient the individual to high school studies and develop an understanding<br />
of the learning process so that the student will be<br />
successful. The student will become aware of personal learning<br />
style and how to effectively communicate learning needs.<br />
Students will also practice listening, note taking, organizing and<br />
critical thinking skills through group and guided practice activities.<br />
The course stresses the transfer of skills to the content<br />
areas. These skills include the efficient completion of homework<br />
assignments, discussion skills and test taking skills.<br />
Homework will deal primarily with the application of study<br />
skills in the content areas. This course may be repeated for<br />
credit.<br />
TEACHING ASSISTANT (L0630)<br />
5/10 Credits, Semester/Year, Pass/Fail, Grades 11 & 12<br />

(attendance, academic, behavioral requirements) and 2.0 GPA.<br />
Only students with excellent attendance and an overall GPA<br />
of 2.0 or higher will be approved for TA positions: students<br />
must have 8 or fewer absences, and a behavior referral will<br />
cause a review for future placement as an aide. Students cannot<br />
be aides for more than one period during a semester without<br />
TA Coordinator’s approval. In addition, TA credit may not<br />
exceed 30 units. After students are assigned by the TA Coordinator,<br />
duties may include the following: tutoring, maintaining<br />
records, grading papers, operating computer and/or audiovisual<br />
equipment and assisting the teacher with other classroom<br />
activities. This course may be repeated for credit.<br />
Online Registration<br />
Students and parents now have the option of entering their<br />
course selections on-line using “Student Connect.” Often<br />
referred as “pre-registration,” all students receive an in-class<br />
presentation from a Logan counselor. Students then meet 1-<br />
on-1 with their counselor to submit a paper copy of the<br />
course registration form.<br />
To select classes online:<br />
Go to JLHS website at www.jameslogan.org, then click on<br />
“Student Connect.”<br />
If you have not changed your password, log into to Student<br />
Connect using the following:<br />
Login: student ID<br />
Password: last 3 numbers of ID + first 4 of your last<br />
name + first 3 of your 3rd period teacher (Ex:<br />
123coltpap). Once online, its recommended<br />
that students’ change their password to something<br />
unique.<br />
During the “open window” for student pre-registration, students<br />
can select the courses they would like to take for next<br />
year. These course selections will subsequently be carefully<br />
reviewed by a counselor when counselors meet with students<br />
during pre-registration student conferences.<br />
Once on Student Connect, follow the on-line directions (see<br />
example below). You will notice that some classes have been<br />
prepopulated, depending on your grade level. These classes<br />
are called the “career track” and cannot be changed by students.<br />
However, additional classes can be added, as well as<br />
alternates in case a primary choice is full, not available, or if a<br />
student doesn’t meet the prerequisites.<br />
Online Registration<br />
Each student’s counselor will review the choices made, so<br />
don’t be afraid to jump on-line and get a head start on next<br />
year!<br />
