High School

Report Cards:

Progress Reports are sent home to alert parents/guardians of student difficulties in behavior, work habits, or work quality. A progress report will be sent home at the first 5-week reporting period. Thereafter, progress reports will be sent on an as-needed basis.

Report Cards are issued to the students at the end of each nine-week period. Grading is as follows:

Straight Scale	High Honor/Honor Roll	Effort/Conduct
A: 90-100	93-100 (High Honor Roll)	1. Excellent
B: 80-89	85-92 (Honor Roll)	2. Good
C: 70-79		3. Fair
D: 65-69		4. Poor
F: 0-64		5. Unsatisfactory

Homework:

Students are to complete all homework and submit it on time. When absence has been unavoidable, it is the responsibility of the parents and student to contact the teacher and make arrangements for turning in their work, making up all quizzes and tests.

Course Requirements:

All students are expected to come to class prepared to do the day’s activities. This means having in their possession appropriate class materials: textbook, pen/pencil, completed homework, proper gym attire, etc.

Furthermore, there are special requirements in high school subjects that are necessary to adequately assess a student’s competence and understanding in a subject area. In addition to periodic testing, these requirements include laboratory experiments in Science, compositions and reports in English, maps and reports in Social Studies, verses and projects in Bible, etc.

To achieve credit in any 7th to 12th grade course, a student must complete all course requirements. Failure to meet these requirements will result in a failing grade for that reporting period, and may endanger successful course completion.

An "I" (incomplete) will be issued when, due to circumstances beyond the student’s control (e.g., illness, inclement weather) a test, report, etc., is not completed by the end of the reporting period. In these cases a student is given up to five school days after the date of the report to remedy this deficiency.

Numerical grades are used. When all requirements have been met, a numerical grade value, as earned by the student, will be issued.

Course Withdrawls:

Withdrawal from a course is permitted within the first 5-week period. A "W" will be entered in the record only after joint approval by student, parent(s), and teacher is obtained. Withdrawal may require an alternative course, remedial instruction, or summer school session(s) to make up course deficiencies. A withdrawal after the 5-week period will result in a numerical grade, as earned by the student, up to that time.
