Teachers will provide students and parent/guardians a course syllabus the first week of class. This syllabus will outline the course expectations, discipline procedures in the class and grading guidelines.
Graduation Honors
The titles of Valedictoran and Salutatorian will be reserved for those students who have been a member of the student body for at least four semesters.
Academic Letter
In 1989/90, the Student Council voted to allow high school students to achieve an academic letter award. Similar to earning a letter in sports, students receive a letter for high academic achievement. In order to earn a letter, students must achieve a 3.7 or higher GPA for two consecutive semesters. A gold pin will be awarded to the deserving students at a general assembly held at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the first semester. Gold bars will be awarded for additional times students earn a letter.
Class Work/Homework
All classwork is due at the end of the nine weeks and / or semester grading periods. Seniors must have completed all work for the four nine-week grading periods on the last day of attendance. Work handed in after this date will not count for a grade.
Each student is responsible for making up all missed work regardless of the reason for the absence. For each day of absence due to illness or family emergency, one school day will be allowed to complete the make-up work. Students are responsible for the completion of assignments and for taking tests on the day following absence if advised of the assignments (planned absence form) or tests in advance of the day absent.
