ScienceAcademiesofNewYorkSchoolMissionStatement
The mission of Science Academies of New York (SANY) is to graduate men and women who think critically and
creatively; have attained strong skills in mathematics, science, language, technology, history, and the arts; and are
committed to a lifetime of learning and civic involvement. The school will empower students with high intellectual
standards—building on their promise as they prepare for college, career, and citizenship.
INTRODUCTION
SANY Charter School’s Program of Studies has been prepared for students, parents, teachers, and guidance
counselors. Please review this information carefully.
Students will receive individual advisement from guidance counselors to help them make appropriate
course selections. In some cases, academic recommendations are necessary from the student’s teachers before
his/her guidance conference. Students’ elective course choices are critical and should be made in alignment with
their college and career goals. Students are encouraged to complete a major of ive elective courses based on their
long-term occupational goals.
Many colleges and universities are highly selective in their admissions. SANY students are encouraged to
select a rigorous course of study and enroll in higher-level cour ses as much as possible. A rigorous senior year of
study is an expectation of many colleges and employers. SANY seniors are encouraged to select challenging courses
and to consider advanced placement an d dual credit options.
Final decisions regarding the actual offering of any particular course for the 2017-2018 school year will be
dependent upon enrollment and budget constraints. Therefore, not all classes listed in this catalog are guaranteed to
run every academic year. The courses students select form the basis for the employment of teachers and the
development of the master schedule.
Planning a student's high school program of studies demands a cooperative effort between home and school.
We cannot stress strongly enough the need for careful planning amongst the student, parents, teachers, and counselor
for a program to be adapted to individual needs as well as state and local requirements. The program of studies that a
student pursues in high school should relect his or her aspirations, achievements, and attitudes.
Our course offerings provide a wide variety of learning opportunities. As you examine the course selections
in this booklet, please bear in mind not only short-term needs but also long-term goals. Beyond state, college and
career requirements, you are encouraged to select courses that will be academically stimulating and personally
enriching. Above all, please plan a program, which challenges you appropriately, sets realistic goals, and enables you
to take advantage of the diversiied offerings available. Please consider the following criteria in selecting particular
courses. Does the course:
a. Meet the high school graduation requirements?
b. Provide an outlet for interests in speciic subject areas?
c. Relect a signiicant proiciency level?
d. Provide a background for post-high school plans leading to career options?
e. Meet general college entrance requirements?
f. Meet college entrance requirements speciic to schools in which you are interested?

individual Regents examinaons as a score of 85 or greater with the excepon of the English Language Arts exam
for which students must earn a 90 or greater to aain mastery status. * The City Honors magnet school course
progression is designed to lead to a Regents Diploma with Advanced Designaon. See CHS student/parent
handbook for CHS graduaon requirements. Families of students with special needs should consult with their
school counselor for quesons. None of the diploma requirements listed above reduce the requirements of the
City Honors magnet school diploma.
COURSEOFFERINGS
The High School Program of Studies is designed to provide all students with a wide variety of
challenging courses in all curricular areas. Schools must prepare students to succeed in the global
economy of the 21st Century. Students must acquire academic knowledge, technical skills,
problem-solving abilities, and teamwork techniques. This Program of Studies provides the
opportunity for students to prepare for post-secondary education or to apply their skills in the
workplace. Students select among courses appropriate for their career plans. Career guidance and
counseling is provided to all students to assist them in choosing courses that will prepare them for
future career options.
The Dean must approve any course taken for credit outside of the traditional school setting before
enrollment in the course.
GUIDELINESFORREGISTERINGTOCLASSES:
All irst-year SANY students, sophomores, and juniors must register for eight units of high school
credit. All seniors are required to register with at least ive units of high school credit.
Students must make an alternate course selection for each elective course. Students and
parents should exercise good judgment in selecting alternatives, for these will replace any selected
elective courses without further consultation with students or relatives.
English course requirements for graduation:
a. SANY schools accept: AP English, OCC ENG 103 & 104, or other pre-approved
college-level freshman-level English courses as SANY English courses toward
graduation.
b. One core/main English course can be assigned to students in one calendar year.
Main English courses cannot be doubled up--meaning if a student failed the course
irst time, that student has to pass that class before they proceed to the next one.
c. If a student fails in English 1, 2, 3, or 4, the student cannot graduate on time. He/she
has to take these courses in a sequence.
10
i. Summer school is the irst alternative for a student to recover the credit for
the failed English course. The summer school course mustbe taken the
summer following the failed English course.
ii. A pre-approved online English course can replace the failed English course.
Resource classes for SWD can be used to support the online English course.
The parent is responsible for paying the cost of the online course.
iii. A passing score on the English Regents can replace English-3.
Placement in 9th-grade mathematics and science classes is determined by the level of
mathematics achieved at the end of the 8
th
grade.
Placement in classes will be determined by grades, test scores, and teacher recommendations.
Students should not register for courses for which they are not prepared. It is crucial to
understand that each class begins at an expected level of student ability and performance.

AVAILABI LITYOFCLASSES:
Decisions on whether courses can be offered are dependent on student enrollment and teacher
stafing. SANY reserves the right to cancel or eliminate courses for any given school year. If the
administration decides to abort a course due to low student enrollment or lack of teachers, the
student’s other choice will be used. If that course is also not available, the student will be
consulted to make a new selection. If the student cannot be reached, his/her, administrator or
counselor will make a choice for them.
GRADINGPOLICY
GRADEPOINTAVERAGE(GPA):
Grade Point Average is calculated with the following steps:
1. Multiply all of the grades (0-100) by course credits
2. Add all those numbers together and ind the Total Grade Point
3. Divide Total Grade Points by the number of credits.
WEIGHTED&UNWEIGHTEDGPA:
Weighted courses are calculated by adding 10 points for AP/College courses and 5 points for
honors courses to the earned grade before multiplying with the credits. WeightedGPAisutilized
only to ident ify Valedictorian and Salutatorian. Unweighted GPA does not differentiate any
courses during the calculation of GPA.
11
GRADING SCALE:
SANY calculates the grade point average on a 0-100 scale system and awards semester/year credit.
Each full-year course that meets routinely (minimum of 48 minutes a day for 190 days) shall yield
one credit. Semester courses that meet routinely shall produce 0.5 credits. A passing grade is 65 or
above. Courses with the following letter grades are calculated in the grade point average.

The cut-off date to calculate the GPA is the end of the third marking period of the senior year.
HONORROLLANDHIGHHIGHHONORS
The Honor Roll and High Honor Roll serve as a mark of excellence to recognize students who excel
academically. The Honor Roll and High Honor Roll are prepared at the end of each quarter. They
are based on cumulative GPA (Grade Point Average) and include all subjects.
13
To qualify for the High Honor Roll, a student must have a GPA of 90 or above.
To be eligible for the Honor Roll, a student must have a GPA of 85 to 89.
DEAN’SLIST
Students who achieve High Honor Roll for the irst 3 marking periods in a row will receive Dean’s
list.
GRADEREPORTING
Report cards will be issued four times a year, approximately one week after the close of each
marking period. Progress reports will be released at the midpoint of each marking period. Report
cards and progress reports make note of commendations and recommendations. Speciic
suggestions are listed for the improvement of any poor academic habits. These reports also
include the student’s current grade range of performance. A parent should email the teacher if
he/she has a question regarding a particular progress report. Grades are always accessible to
parents through the SchoolTool system.
SUMMERSCHOOL
Course credits may be earned in any summer school course offered at SANY, by any New York
public school district, or any other schools that are approved by the New York State Department of
Education. Summer school grades are recorded on the student's transcript with the appropriate
coding (SS); they do not replace any grade already earned. Prior approval from the Dean is
required before registering for summer school.
Upon completion of an outside summer school course, the student must provide transcripts in
order to transfer the earned credit.
COURSELOAD
All students enrolled as regular students in grades 9 - 11 at SANY must be enrolled in eight courses
or unit equivalents. Seniors may leave after 5th period if they are completing all graduation
requirements with their current course load. They may take either 5 or 8 credits.
COURSESCHEDULINGPARAMETERS
Each student will carry eight classes per semester. Preference will be given to juniors and seniors
when enrollment in any course is too large. The right is reserved by the SANY to withdraw any
course offering if there is an insuficient number of students enrolled in the course, if a certiied
teacher is not available, or if budgetary funds are not available. Student scores on state and local
tests as well as previous course grades may affect course placement. Every student is required to
be scheduled for lunch. Please note a course request does not necessarily guarantee placement in
that course. Students must meet course requirements and prerequisites.
14
CRITERIAFORCHANGINGSCHEDULES
Students are expected to honor their commitments by attending and satisfactorily completing the
courses for which they enroll. Schedule changes will not be made for reasons of convenience or
because of teacher preference. Only changes that are educationally beneicial for the student will
be considered.
Schedulechangeswillbeconsideredonlyforthefollowingreasons:
1. The correction of a clerical error in the schedule. Examples might include a missing course; a
conlict between two or more courses; credit for that course has been earned in summer school;
failure to have taken a prerequisite course; or a severe imbalance in the course load assigned for
each semester.
2. A recommendation from the grade chair.
3. A proposal from a building administrator for disciplinary, attendance, or instructional reasons.
4. A teacher recommends a change based on the fact that the student is misplaced in a particular
course or that a change in level would be beneicial to the student. Teacher recommendations for
changes according to this criterion must be made before the end of the irst two weeks for all
semester courses and three weeks for all year long courses. This must be done with the approval
of the Administration.
SchedulechangesWILL NOTbeconsideredforanyofthefollowingreasons:
1. Course content or standards differ from the student’s expectations.
2. Dropping a course because it is not needed for graduation.
3. The inability of a student to relate well to a given teacher.
4. Preference for some other subject.
5. Dropping a course to lighten a student's course load.
6. Choice of teachers cannot be honored.
7. Schedules cannot be changed to accommodate jobs after school.
8. Schedules will not be rearranged to accommodate requests for late arrivals or early dismissals.
ADDINGOR DROPPINGCOURSES
Dropping a course is a serious matter and is discouraged; such an action should be done only after
much thought and consultation has taken place. The request to drop a course must be submitted in
writing by the parent or guardian unless the student is his/her own agent.
SemesterCourses
• Requests to drop a semester course will be considered through the irst two weeks after the start
of the irst and third marking periods, provided the student would still be scheduled for eight
classes; has the permission of their parent/guardian; and has consulted with his/her, counselor.
The transcript will not show a grade or any indication of the course.
Full-YearCourses
• Requests to drop a full-year course will be considered within the irst two weeks provided the
student would still be scheduled for eight classes; has the permission of their parent/guardian;
and has consulted with his/her counselor and the subject supervisor. The transcript will not show
a grade or any indication of the course.
15
After dropping a course, a student may request to add a course, provided the student has parental
approval, and the course has space for an additional student.
COLLEGECREDITSWHILEINHIGHSCHOOL
SANY students may also obtain college credits through the following programs:
Advanced Placement Courses are designed for students ready for college-level academic work.
This program is operated by a national organization, the College Board, which deines course
curriculum, provides teacher training, and administers a national standardized examination for
each course.
According to SANY regulations, students enrolled in an Advanced Placement course MUST take the
Advanced Placement examination managed by the College Board. Most colleges award college
credit to students who earn at least a rating of “3” out of a possible “5” on the examination, while
others require a score of “4”. Some colleges require successful completion of Advanced Placement
courses for admission to the college and do not award credits toward the college degree. Parents
and students are encouraged to check with the colleges for details.
DualEnroll mentCoursesallow students to take college-level courses and earn both high school
and college credits. They may be taken at the high school or at a postsecondary institution.
Students must have prior approval from the dean to enroll for dual credit and meet the
requirements speciied by the college. Students are responsible for verifyin g any college’s
acceptance of credits earned as dual credit. Enrollment in a double credit course does not
guarantee college acceptance. Currently, SANY is offering dual credit college courses in
coordination with OCC(OnondagaCommunit yCollege), SUNYESFand MVCC(MohawkValley
CommunityCollege).
Only courses applicable to a Baccalaureate or an Associate degree offered by accredited
institutions may be accepted for dual credit. Tuition, books, and other college course fees shall be
at the expense of the student or his/her parents or legal guardians.
Transferring College Courses
a. SANY grants credits for transferred college courses. If the course does not fall into the SANY
course categories, it is counted as an elective credit.
b. Students must apply for the credit transfer.
c. A three-hour college course shall transfer as a 0.5 Carnegie unit at the high school.
Students must also request to transfer these credits to the colleges that they will be attending after
high school.
16
APPROGRAM
Advanced Placement courses are designed to deliver the challenge, rigor and creative
opportunities for those students who have demonstrated academic success. Advanced Placement
(AP) courses are college-level courses for the most academically capable high school students.
They are challenging, stimulating and more demanding in terms of time, effort, and depth of the
curricular program. AP courses are the equivalent of college work. Some colleges and universities
grant college credits for courses taken, based on scores achieved on national examinations.
Students who wish to make application to the program should study the following list of
characteristics of the AP Program to ensure that there is a clear understanding of what is required
for each of the program's courses:
● Students are required to be able to read 20-30 pages of text as a one-night homework
assignment.
● Students must be able to complete all assigned homework assignments on time.
● Students are expected to independently manage multiple, concurrent, long-term projects.
● Students are expected to write multiple drafts of papers, lab reports, and other assignments
before submitting the document for inal assessment.
● Students must possess the necessary skills for independently organizing collaborative group
tasks.
● Students are expected to meet with the teacher individually after school for assistance and
enrichment when appropriate.
AdvancedPlacemen tEnrollmentCriteria
Students need irst earn a inal grade of A- or better in an academic class. In addition to the inal
grade, initial course level placement will be based on standardized test results, teacher
recommendation and demonstrated competency within the discipline. Recommendations will be
based on established classroom participation, proven record of academic achievement, and a
demonstrated willingness to achieve.

COLLEGEPLANNING
Admission to colleges and universities varies from relatively easy to extremely competitive. The
institution’s philosophy of education, speciic course requirements, and other qualiications for
acceptance differ between the nation's colleges and universities. All, colleges, however, recognize
the desirability of a broad education with a strong foundation in the traditional academic subjects.
Students should begin the planning process when selecting courses for their high school years.
The college preparatory curriculum is a four-year course of study; therefore, families should
design a four-year plan that is reviewed and revised annually. Students are evaluated for
admission not only based on grades earned, but also on the strength of the academic program
17
undertaken. Students are encouraged to take the highest possible educational program available
within his/her limitations during all four years of high school.
ACADEM ICREQUIREMENTSFORCOLLEGEREADINESS
Minimum graduation requirements should not be confused with college admission requirements.
An academic unit or college entrance unit is the equivalent of one credit in a single academic
subject. A semester course of 0.5 credits equals one half college entrance unit. The college in
question determines acceptable units. Usually, "academic units" are considered to be full-year
courses in college preparatory math, science, English, Social Studies or a foreign language.
While each college prescribes the number and character of the academic units it will accept, a
rigorous course load that most colleges prefer consists of:
English: 4-6 units, including 4 core classes
Social Studies: 4-5 units
College-prep Math: 4-5 units
Foreign Language: 4 units (of the same language) or 3 (if the school offers only 3 years)
Science: 4-5 units (with at least two lab sciences)
Due to the high national dropout rate during the irst year of college, the following advice is offered
to all college-bound seniors:

COLLEGEENTRANCEEXAMINATIONS:
The vast majority of colleges require that a student takes one or more standardized tests for
admission. The number depends on the college's policy. It is important to remember that test
scores are just one part of the entire applicant proile. At most institutions, test scores alone do not
exclude a student from admission, nor do scores alone guarantee admission.
The two most common test programs are the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the American
College Testing Program (ACT). Most students take the SAT. Consult with your counselor regarding
the ACT. The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) is available for students in 8th through
11th grades. Colleges may also require or recommend SAT Subject Tests. SAT Subject Tests take
one hour for each topic area. You may take one to three tests on any given test date.
It is the student's responsibility to register for all tests and to arrange for the results to be sent to
their institution(s) of choice. It is recommended that a student registers for the following tests:
Spring of 8th Grade: PSAT8/9
18
Spring of 9th Grade: PSAT8/9
Spring of 10th grade: PSAT10
Fall of 11th grade: PSAT/NMSQT
Spring of 11th grade : SATand/orACT,
:SATSubjectTest
Fall of 12th grade: SATand/orACT,
: SATSubjectTest
PSAT
The PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test) is given once a year in October. All
college-bound sophomores and juniors should register to take this test. This is a practice SAT exam
to acclimate the students to the SAT and to provide predictive information for SAT performance. It
is also used by the National Merit Corporation to identify highly qualiied juniors for recognition.
Students should use the PSAT scores to help them select one or more SAT preparation options
such as challenging math and English courses, the College Study Skills elective, intensive
afternoon/evening programs at the high schools, and the use of commercial programs, and
self-directed materials, among others.
SAT
This is a three and one-half hour test, divided into two sections: Reading-Writing and Mathematics.
Possible scores range from 200-800 in each chapter. Students planning to take the SAT for college
entrance should enroll in advanced mathematics courses. Experience has shown that students
who are satisied with their SAT performance are those who have prepared themselves with high
level academic subjects. The SAT is usually taken during the late spring of the junior year by
students planning to attend a four-year college or university. Students may retake the SAT during
the fall semester of their senior year. Some colleges require students to retake the SAT in their
senior year, even if their previous SAT results were quite good.
SAT Subject Tests
Students applying to selective schools are required to take the SAT Subject Test in speciic subject
area tests (usually three exams). These achievement tests are used by colleges for enrollment and
placement in classes. Unlike the SAT, which measures more general abilities, the SAT Subject Test
measures the student's knowledge of a particular subject. Because of this, students should try to
take a SAT Subject Test as soon as possible after completion of their last course in that subject. You
cannot take both the SAT and the SAT Subject Test on the same test date.
Each subject test is one hour long, so students can take one, two or three at one administration.
Each subject score ranges from 200-800. Students taking advanced coursework in math or science
in their freshman or sophomore years may wish to take the related exam; ask your teacher or
counselor for more information. Most students take the SAT Subject Tests at the end of their junior
year or at the beginning of their senior year. You should consult your counselor for the timing of
these tests.
19
ACT
This test is an alternative to the SAT. It can be taken during a student's junior and/or senior year.
The ACT is divided into four parts: Math, English, Science, Reading, and an optional Writing
section. It assesses high school students' general educational development and their ability to
complete college-level work.
The student will receive a composite score from 11-36. Students with a solid course background
and good grades are encouraged to take the ACT as an alternative to or in addition to the SAT.
If a student has testing modiications, as stated on their IEP, it is the parent/guardian’s
responsibility to follow-up with the appropriate application and to submit it to the College Board
and/or to ACT.
TRANSFERRINGINTOSANY
When a student transfers into SANY, the guidance department analyzes their transcript. Most
courses will be comparable to courses offered at SANY.
For all transfers, when a student is moving to the next level of instruction (e.g., transferring from
Spanish I but enrolling in Spanish 2), the school may enroll the student in the higher level course;
but if the student is unsuccessful, move the student back to repeat the transferred course as an
audit. The grade transferred will remain on the student’s record. Schedule changes require
administrative approval and decisions should be made only after consultation with the teacher,
student, and parent(s).
TRANSFERRINGCREDITS
High school schedules and course offerings vary from high school to high school, both within
Syracuse City School District as well as from school district to school district.
Parents and students are cautioned that it may not be possible to transfer all credits for courses in
progress from one school to another if the student moves during the middle of a school year. The
dificulty in transferring credit increases if the move occurs during the semester. Every effort will
be made by the receiving high school to evaluate a student’s transcript and move the student into
the new schedule with minimal disruption to the student’s plan of study. Courses transferred from
another New York public school will be re-deployed with the grade and weight awarded by the
sending school. (Regents requirements for transfer students 10-11-12)
CONVERTINGGRADESONTRANSCRIPTS
When transcripts are received from accredited out-of-state schools (or in-state from certiied
sources other than the public schools) and statistical averages are provided, those standards must
be used in transferring the grades to the student’s record.

If the transcript indicates that the student has earned a passing grade in any course in which he or
she had a numerical average lower than 65, that percentage will be converted to a 66 numerical
grade on the new scale.
The criterion for accepting transcripts from home schools is a local decision.
CREDITRECOVERYPROGRAM
The purpose of this program is to offer an opportunity for motivated students to recover lost credit
by using an alternative instructional model. Credit Recovery is for students who have met the seat
time requirement (120 hours for 1 unit and 60 hours for a ½ unit) and have guidance/counselor
recommendation. Students may repeat the course in the following year at SANY. However, recovery
courses may be taken by sending home districts or online resources. Parents are responsible for
the associated tuition and fees for those courses taken from alternative resources.
GRADUATIONCEREMONY/COMMENCEMENT
Only those students who pass all the unit s required for a diploma may participate in the
graduation ceremony held at the end of the school year.
21
Students who pass the required 26 units but fail to pass the Regents Exams are not allowed to
participate in the graduation ceremony.
Failure to complete graduation requirements will prohibit participation in the graduation
ceremony. The school is not responsible for announcements, caps and gowns, or other graduation
paraphernalia for those students who do not complete these requirements.
