Special EducationChesapeake High School provides a continuum of special education services for students with disabilities with Individual Education Programs (IEPs). Most of these students receive their education in the general education program with support from special education teachers, para-educators, and additional adult support staff. These are called “inclusion” classes. For students with more significant disabilities, there are “adapted” self-contained classes for the core subject areas (English, Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies) at each grade level. These classes are taught by special education teachers with additional support, as needed. Students in these classes are on track to receive a high school diploma. In addition to the adapted classes for diploma-bound students, Chesapeake also provides a Functional and Academic Learning Support (FALS) program for students who will not be receiving a high school diploma. Instead, these students will receive a Certificate of Attendance and they usually attend this program until the age of 21. Every Student with an IEP has a case manager whose responsibility it is to monitor and coordinate the services and accommodations provided to that student. Case managers contact parents at the beginning of the school year to introduce themselves. Parents are encouraged to contact their students case manager whenever there are questions or concerns about the IEP or Special Education Services.Email Charles Phelan, Department Chair at cphelan@ with any questions.

These examinations are designed to measure student achievement of the indicators of the Essential Curriculum for each course. The final exam grade counts as 15% of the final grade using the BCPS prescribed calculation method. Final exams are county wide exams and maintaining security is of primary importance. Therefore, except in extreme situations students are expected to take exams on the days that they are given. Vacations need to be planned after the school year is over. If your student is unable to take the final exam, with the exception of a medical emergency or death in the family, the final grade for the course will be lowered by one letter grade. In these situations, all notes will be verified. Please be aware that poor attendance can also have a serious impact on grades. If a student misses 10% of the school days in any given quarter (unexcused), he or she will fail for the quarter. Students are not permitted to make up work that they missed from unexcused absences. Excused absences can result in failure of the class work portion of the grade if they account for more than 20% of the days in the quarter. Consistent attendance is essential for academic success.Graduation RequirementsHigh School Graduation Standards requires 21 CreditsStudents must earn credits in the following areas: English4 creditsPE/Health 1.5 creditsScience3 credits (4 recommended)Tech Ed 1 creditSocial Studies3.5 creditsFine Arts1 creditMath3 credits Electives/Completer 4 creditsEffective 2014-2015 4 years of Math is requiredMaryland High School Assessments (HSA) and PARCC Assessments:In order to graduate from high school with a Maryland High School Diploma students must meet the HSA requirement.
