GRADING GUIDELINES
Grades will be:
A = 90 - 100
B = 80 - 89
C = 70 - 79
69 and below - Failing
To earn credit in a course, a student must receive a grade of 70 based upon course-level
or grade-level standards. We accept credit awarded from other schools and states.
Six Weeks Grade
The six weeks grade for a course may be determined by counting the daily average for
the six weeks as five-sixths (5/6) of the grade and the six weeks exam as one-sixth (1/6)
of the grade. There should be a minimum of ten (10) daily grades for the six weeks daily
average.
Semester Grade
The semester grade is an average of each of the three six-weeks grades and the final
exam. The final exam grade is worth one-seventh (1/7) of the final average. Each of the
three six-weeks grades is worth two-sevenths (2/7) of the final average.
Unexcused Absences
Each unexcused absence will result in three points being deducted from the six weeks
grade.
Cheating, Plagiarism, Academic Dishonesty
Plagiarism is the use of another person's original ideas or writing as one's own without
giving credit to the true author. Plagiarism will be considered cheating and the student
will be subject to academic disciplinary action that may include loss of credit for the
work in question. Teachers who have reason to believe a student has engaged in cheating
or other academic dishonesty will determine the academic penalty to be assessed.
Students found to have engaged in academic dishonesty will be subject to disciplinary
penalties as well as academic penalties.
