Campus Scheduling Model
At Beavercreek High School and Ferguson Hall, providing a variety of course offerings to meet the diverse interests and needs of our students is a core value of the master scheduling process. In order to maximize these opportunities, classes for BHS and FH students are scheduled using a campus model where students may need to travel between buildings during their school day. Using a campus scheduling model ensures that students are provided with diverse learning experiences in innovative classroom settings while maintaining the district’s efforts to be fiscally responsible with staffing and course sections.
ProgressBook
Teachers use ProgressBook as the primary tool for communicating grades and academic progress throughout the school year. Students and families are encouraged to monitor ProgressBook regularly in an effort to track students’ progress on individual assignments and assessments as well as to access report cards at the end of each quarter.
1:1 Technology
Beavercreek City Schools strives to prepare students with 21st Century Skills. A major emphasis is placed upon Literacy Skills which encompass informational literacy, media literacy, and technology literacy. Beavercreek High School and Ferguson Hall are 1:1 campuses with each student being provided a Chromebook for academic purposes. Teachers use these devices as electronic classrooms and rely heavily on the Google Platform. Students must take responsibility for their device and use it properly to access the many applications that Google supports for education. Students should bring their charged devices with them daily as they would any physical textbook or notebook.
Advisory Period
The purpose of this 15-minute period is to create a positive school climate that meets the social-emotional needs of Beavercreek High School students. Social-emotional learning involves regulating emotions, setting and achieving positive goals, demonstrating empathy for others, creating positive relationships, and accepting responsibility. During advisory periods teachers lead lessons that help students to develop and improve these skills.
Teachers are also able to identify students that may be struggling socially, emotionally, and/or academically and refer the student to see one of our counselors.
