Report Card Information

Report cards are mailed to the student's home address each six weeks. Students are also given a copy of their report card at school. At 3 weeks a progress report is mailed home so that students will know they need to bring up their grades before report cards. Replacement of lost report cards and schedules is 50¢.

Accumulated Grade Points
Appear on the report card and determine a student's rank. Honors, AP, and Gifted courses earn double grade points.
Grade Point Average (GPA)
Colleges use GPA in helping to determine admissions. GPA is arrived at by adding the grade points for each grade and then dividing by the number of credits. Each A = 4 points, B = 3 points, C = 2 points, D = 1 point, F = 0 points.
Class Rank
Rank is calculated in August and January of each year.

Responsibility

High school teachers don't remind you about makeup work, etc. You are expected to keep up with the school policies and regulations, with your class credits and excessive absences, to make sure that you graduate on time.
Any required class you fail, you will repeat it until you pass it.

In order to arrive at the value of a student's progress during a semester, the semester is divided into three grading periods of six weeks each. A formal examination is given at the end of the six weeks period to be averaged with other work for that six weeks. In computing the six-weeks grade, the examination is counted as 1/5 of the entire grade. The semester exam may count as the third- and sixth-week exams. Final examinations are given the last week of each semester. These exams are over all the material covered the preceding three six-weeks and count 1/5 of the final semester grade. Courses are either a one-semester or a two-semester course. To receive credit for a course, students must pass with an average of 70 or more on a numerical scale of 100. All grades on report cards and academic achievement records (transcripts) are numerical. One half-credit (0.5) must be earned each semester in a two-semester course to obtain one complete credit for the course. A student who successfully completes one semester with a semester grade of 70 or higher will receive a one-half credit (0.5).

* If only one semester grade in a two-semester course is a passing grade of 70 or higher, both semester grades will be averaged. If this average equals a grade of 70 or higher, credit can be given for both semesters.

* Averaging both semester grades on a two-semester course is only permissible for students enrolled in the two-semester course during the same school year, consecutive fall and spring semesters only. Summer school grades, correspondence course grades or next year grades will not be re-averaged with prior year grades.

* If the average of both semesters in a two-semester course does not equal 70 or higher, the student must re-take and pass the failed semester course.

A student who is not in attendance for at least 90% of the days the class is offered will not be given credit for the class unless he/she is excused due to extenuating circumstances as determined by the campus attendance committee. Beginning in the fall of 2005, credit will be denied by semester in a two-semester course.

Transcript

A transcript is the official listing of all classes taken in high school, grades and credits earned. You will need transcripts when applying for colleges. The registrar's office in the counseling center handles transcripts. Your first 3 transcripts are free. Additional transcripts cost $1.00.
Absences

You will have credit denied in a class you have passed if you have too many absences. You will have credit denied if you have more than 4 absences in one semester classes or more than 9 absences in year-long classes, even if the absences are EXCUSED. You MUST recoup time if you have missed more than the allowed days. Also, each student is responsible for getting assignments missed due to absences from the teachers. For each day absent the student will be allowed to have that number of days to turn in missed work. Bring books and assignments to recoup. This is a time to make up work only!

Absent 3 full days
Students may call the secretary in the counseling center at 972-882-6770 and request assignments. It is the student's responsibility to have someone pick up the assignments in the counseling center. If you are absent for less than 3 days, you may get your assignments directly from your teachers when you return to school.
