� takes the initiative to make up work missed due to excused absences
A grade of B implies that a student:
� is prompt, thorough, and accurate in completing assignments
� takes logical approaches while seeking solutions to problems
� participates regularly in class discussions and projects
� occasionally makes use of outside resources to supplement class materials
� submits work of above average quality
� takes the initiative to make up work missed due to excused absences
A grade of C implies that a student:
� is generally prompt and accurate in completing assignments
� occasionally participates in class discussions and projects
� makes practical application of materials presented
� submits work of average quality
� occasionally takes initiative to make up work missed due to excused absences
A grade of D implies that a student:
� fails to regularly submit assigned work
� seldom participates in class discussions or projects
� seldom asks for clarification of directions for completing assignments
� may need to improve attendance and work habits
A grade of F implies that a student:
� makes little or no effort to complete assigned work
� seldom or never participates in class discussions or projects
� may exhibit chronic attendance problems
� may exhibit behavior which negatively influences the learning environment for other
students
A grade of I indicates that no withdrawal grade has been received from the student�s previous
school and provided to the teacher. If no transfer grade is received, the �I� remains as part of the transcript and counts toward the student�s GPA. Teachers cannot issue an �I� grade without the guidance of the registrar.
A grade of W indicates that the student was withdrawn from the class for disciplinary reasons
or other administrative action. This grade counts 0 grade points of GPA.
CITIZENSHIP GRADES
Citizenship grades will be issued only by classroom teachers by using an O, S, N, or U.
A grade of Outstanding (O) indicates that the student is always concerned about the welfare of the class and always supports the classroom rules.
A grade of Satisfactory (S) indicates that the student consistently shows regard toward classroom rules and is concerned about the general welfare of the class.
A grade of Needs Improvement (N) indicates that the student occasionally disregards classroom rules and shows some disregard for the general welfare of the class.
A grade of Unsatisfactory (U) indicates that the student consistently shows disregard for classroom rules and opposes the general welfare of the class.
