GRADES - CLASSES

Students in the high school program will receive a quarterly progress report. Areas of mobility, communication skills, fine motor development, socialization, and vocational development, general behavior, field trip experiences, and related services may also be included in reports.

Individual teacher conferences to discuss progress can be scheduled by contacting the Principal's office.


GRADING SYSTEM
The grading system utilized is as follows:
90-100 = A
80-89 = B
70-79 = C
60-69 = D
59 & Below = F


GRADE POINT AVERAGE
Courses earn units of credit each semester based upon the number of days per week that the class meets. Grades are assigned quarterly by the educator. Semester grades are entered on each student's official school transcript.

Grade Points
    A     4 points
    B     3 points
    C     2 points
    D     1 points
    F     0 points

*Grade Point Average is determined by dividing the total of all points by the total of credits attempted. (0.0-4.0)

Grade Point Average is determined at the end of each semester.
 

SCHEDULING/CLASS CHANGES
Students may enroll in a maximum of eight courses and must enroll in a minimum of six courses per semester.

Students enrolled in STEP (Student Transition Education Experience) or a work-study program may be released from school to meet work requirements.

Students may request class changes during the first five school days of each semester. Students dropping classes after the class change period will be dropped from the class with an “F”. Students with no study hall may request to drop an elective for a study hall during the first fifteen (15) school days of each semester with no grade given. Students dropping a class for a study hall after the fifteen-day period will be dropped with an “F”. A class change request form signed by the student and his/her parent/guardian must be submitted to the Guidance Office by the last change day in each semester.


HOMEWORK
Work assigned by teachers is to be completed by the designated time. Some of this work may be done in class and in study halls, while some may have to be done after school hours. Homework is to be expected by the student as part of his/her educational program. It is an opportunity to develop study habits in structured study time that can be useful in later life. Failure to turn in homework may result in a structured study after school.
