James Logan
James Logan High School (JLHS/Logan) is the largest high school in
Northern California, serving about 4,000 students - representing 61
countries, and 47 languages. The diversity of the student population is
both a strength of Logan and an area of focus. To meet the many
different needs of the student population, a multitude of different
courses is offered, including 6 different languages, a fully developed
visual and performing arts program, academic & career pathways, and
academies - each with its own focus. Beyond academics, Logan works
to serve its students with over 100 clubs, 14 different sports, an
internationally recognized forensics program, as well as band and
color guard programs. After two years of working with community
groups, local churches and parents, in fall of 2011, Institute of
Community Leaders (ICL) opened its doors. A school-within-a-school,
it now serves approximately 350 students in all grade levels with a
focus on 4 year college preparation, community leadership and
service.

Online Registration
Students and parents now have the option of entering their
course selections on-line using “Student Connect.” Often
referred as “pre-registration,” all students receive an in-class
presentation from a Logan counselor. Students then meet 1-
on-1 with their counselor to submit a paper copy of the
course registration form.
To select classes online:
Go to JLHS website at www.jameslogan.org, then click on
“Student Connect.”
If you have not changed your password, log into to Student
Connect using the following:
Login: student ID
Password: last 3 numbers of ID + ﬁrst 4 of your last
name + ﬁrst 3 of your 3rd period teacher (Ex:
123coltpap). Once online, its recommended
that students’ change their password to
something unique.
During the “open window” for student pre-registration,
students can select the courses they would like to take for
next year. These course selections will subsequently be
carefully reviewed by a counselor when counselors meet with
students during pre-registration student conferences.
Once on Student Connect, follow the on-line directions (see
example below). You will notice that some classes have been
prepopulated, depending on your grade level. These classes
are called the “career track” and cannot be changed by
students. However, additional classes can be added, as well
as alternates in case a primary choice is full, not available, or
if a student doesn’t meet the prerequisites.
Each student’s counselor will review the choices made. Don’t
be afraid to jump on-line and get a head start on next year!

Community Service
In order to graduate, each student must complete at least 20 hours of community service. The
approved list of community service is in a handout found in the Career Center in Colt Court. If
students choose to do community service that is not on the list, the activity must be approved
PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE ACTUAL COMMUNITY SERVICE. Students may fulfill the community
service requirement through projects that are available in the elective courses listed below.
These projects focus on some aspects of the course content and must be completed outside of
the regular school day. The following courses may offer projects that meet the community
service graduation requirement:
Band Sectionals
Child & Human Develop
Concert Choir
Electronic Media Production I, II
Jazz Ensemble
Jazz Singers
Leadership
Marching Band Auxilary
Marketing & Management I, II
Peers in Action
Show Choir
Grade Point Average is calculated using student’s semester grades, as
following:
A = 4.0 (Honors/AP Weighted GPA: A = 5.0)
B = 3.0 (Honors/AP Weighted GPA: B = 4.0)
C = 2.0 (Honors/AP Weighted GPA: C = 3.0)
D = 1.0 (Honors/AP Weighted GPA: D = 1.0)
F = 0.0
Logan transcripts list three types of GPAs used for different purposes:
Overall GPA: calculated using grades earned in all courses from grade 9 to
12. It is not weighted. This GPA is used to determine eligibility for
graduation and participation in sports and athletic programs.
UC / CSU A-G Weighted GPA: calculated using grades in only “a - g”
courses during grades 10 to 12. This GPA is used to determine college
eligibility, and graduation honors at JLHS. It is often called “College GPA.”
It is important to note that UC/CSU system recalculate GPA for admis-
sions differently. The CSU/UC system only awards AP/Honors weighted
GPA values to a maximum of 8 semester-/4 year-long courses.
State GPA: calculated using grades earned in all courses from grade 10 to
12, except PE and non academic courses (such as Teacher Assistant). It is
not weighted. This GPA is used to determine eligibility for Cal grants.

incorporate Mexican American/Latinx and other multicultural literature, taught at both
grade levels by the same PUENTE-trained teacher.
 Students work closely with a PUENTE counselor to prepare and adhere to an academic
plan focused on college readiness.
 Students also take part in structured leadership activities that allow them to experience the value of life-long community
service firsthand.
 Students enroll in a semester-long seminar course in their 11th and 12th grade.
PUENTE is open to all students. The application and interview process takes place in the first trimester of 8th
grade year.
Students are identified for the program by March of their 8th grade year. Selected students represent a range of effort and
performance levels and are usually the first in their family to attend college.
Parents are expected to attend meetings, orientations, and workshops provided by PUENTE. They must also continuously
monitor student progress and achievement to gain acceptance into four-year colleges and universities. Parents are also asked
to volunteer as chaperones or to assist with fundraising.

HONORS, ADVANCED PLACEMENT & DUAL ENROLLMENT
JLHS has an open enrollment policy and supports any student who wants to accept the challenges of an advanced class.
HONORS & ADVANCED PLACEMENT
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is a cooperative educational endeavor of the College Board and high schools. Based on
the fact that many young people can complete college-level studies in their secondary schools, it represents a desire of schools
and colleges to foster such experiences. Advanced Placement serves three groups: students who wish to pursue college-level
studies while still in secondary school, schools that desire to offer these opportunities, and colleges that wish to encourage and
recognize such achievement. It does this by providing practical descriptions of college-level courses to interested schools and
the results of examinations based on these descriptions to the colleges of the students’ choice. Participating colleges, in turn,
grant credit and/or appropriate placement to students who have done well on the examinations. Examination fees are charged
for each exam. Fee reductions may be available. Honors classes are available for all students. The College Board recommends
that students be enrolled in no more than two Honors/AP classes during one school year.
The opportunity to be in advanced placement or honors classes carries with it certain assumptions about the skills and
maturity of students who will be doing advanced or college level work. It is hoped that students are primarily motivated by an
appreciation for the subject and secondarily by GPA or the AP exam. Students wishing to enroll in Honors or Advanced
Placement courses are required to sign a contract to indicate they understand these expectations.

COLLEGE PROGRAMS
JLHS Dual Enrollment Program - A program in which classes are offered in conjunction with Ohlone & Chabot Colleges during
8th period of the regular school day. Courses may change due to student demand and instructor availability.
Articulation – An Articulated course has the potential for college credit. If students meet the requirements of the articulation
agreement and the approval of the instructor, they can earn college credit.
Dual Enrollment – A Dual Enrollment course is a course offered on Logan campus that earns both college & high school credit.
Concurrent Enrollment— Students may be able to take courses from community colleges on a concurrent enrollment basis.
The courses are taken during hours outside the regular school day. Availability for classes may be limited. Please check with a
counselor before signing up. Credits earned via concurrent enrollment do not earn high school credit, but may allow students
to advance to the next level. Courses completed through concurrent enrollment are listed on the student’s transcript under
the comments section.

Academic
Information
Every effort will be made to assure that students are enrolled in the classes they request. However, it must be understood that the issues
listed below may affect the development of a master schedule. As these concerns are addressed, staff alterations and/or reductions may
necessitate schedule changes for individual students. These changes will be kept to a minimum, but students and parents must recognize
that the possibility for some course changes will exist.
 James Logan HS / NHUSD / California budgets may not be finalized until the summer months.
 Staffing needs, credentialing, retirements, or other factors may not be resolved until a later date.
 Student requests (or lack of requests) for courses may result in changes in course offerings.
Grading & Classroom Management Policy
Students will receive a course syllabus stating the teacher’s grading policy by the end of the second week of each semester. The grading
policy for each course will explain the basis for grading and will state what percent of your total grade the following areas will comprise:
classwork and homework, participation, projects, tests, quizzes, and the final. The teacher will also define classroom behavior
expectations and consequences and distribute this information within the first ten days of class.
Class Change / Withdrawal Policy
A student may withdraw or request a change from a course within the first two weeks (usually 8-10 days) of a semester without aca-
demic penalty, and without the course being listed on the student’s transcript. After two weeks, but before progress report is issued, a
student may withdraw from a course with a “WF” grade (“withdrawal with failure”); in such cases, the course is listed on the student’s
transcript and a “WF” will be listed for the course. Also, the student will receive no partial withdrawal credit for time spent in the course.
The student should enroll in another course and is eligible to receive partial credit for that course in accordance with the “credit by date”
listing. A student may not withdraw from a course after the first progress report is issued except with administrator approval.
Summer School
During summer, students have the opportunity of taking up to 2 one-semester long courses at JLHS to repeat courses in which they
earned a grade of ’D’ or ’F’. A limited curriculum is available, mostly in core academic areas. Priority is given to students who may
graduate at the end of summer. It is strongly recommended that any student who fails a class /loses credit during the school year attend
summer school to makeup the deficiency. There are various summer school programs available in schools outside of the district or private
programs for a cost (Ex: BYU). Students wishing to enroll in such programs should check with their counselor ahead of time to be certain
that the program is acceptable and will yield credit.
Repeating Courses
Students may need to repeat a course for purposes of meeting college eligibility requirements or to meet the ’C’ grade prerequisite for
advancing to the next level of a class. Upon completion of the repeated course, both the initial grade and the repeated grade will appear
on the transcript. The credit earned in the initial course, will be removed as credit is only granted only once. Courses can be repeated in
summer school, during the school year, or online. Board policy is to remove duplicate/repeated credits. Prior to registering or a taking a
course online, a student must get pre-approved by their counselor. Repeating a course online (ex: BYU or Edgenuity credit recovery) for a
failed course can only be done with counselor approval. The University of California only allows for repeating a course if the initial grade
was ’D’ or ’F’. If the earned grade was ’C’ or higher, the repeated grade will not be used in calculating GPA for eligibility.
Short Term Independent Study
Short Term Independent Study is for students who will be absent at least 5, and up to 15 school days. California State Educational Code is
very specific regarding the rules and regulations for Short Term Independent Study. Failure to complete any of the steps listed below will
result in a failure to earn academic and/or attendance credit. Students who go on Short Term Independent Study but do not turn in
assignments and paperwork on time will be marked truant for the duration of their absence.
In order to go on Short Term Independent Study:
1. Make an appointment with your guidance counselor at least 10 school days before your absence. At that meeting your counselor will
give you all of the paperwork required, and go over the process.
2. Have your family fill out the "Master Agreement" contract.
3. Have each of your teachers (ALL OF THEM) fill out a "Student Work Assignment" sheet (will be given to you at your counselor
meeting). Also get all your independent study assignments, along with any other needed resources, from each teacher.
4. Turn in your completed "Master Agreement" contract and each "Student Work Assignment" sheet to your counselor at least 5 school
days before your absence.
5. Complete all assignments during the course of your absence.
6. On the first day back from your absence, turn in all assignments and return all other materials to each teacher.
7. On or before your 5th school day back, collect a sample of graded work from each teacher and have each one complete and sign
the "Student Work Assignment" for their class.
8. On or before your 5th school day back, turn in EACH of your completed "Student Work Assignment" sheets and a sample of grad-
ed work, plus your "Master Agreement" contract to your House Secretary.
Although school staff is here to assist, completing the paperwork and collecting graded samples of work from each teacher is the responsi-
bility of the student and his/her family. CA ED Code prohibits schools from giving students attendance credit if any of the steps listed
above are missing or incomplete. Students who miss a step, or miss even one of the deadlines above will be marked as truant for their
absence.
