GRADING SYSTEM

In addition to the requirements for graduation, the Lakeview High School board of education regulates the methods of student evaluation and progress.   A grading system based on percentages will be used by all staff members except in some cases where the administration may approve pass-fail grading.   Students are awarded percentage grades on their report cards and the semester percentage grade will be recorded on the student’s permanent transcript.   All student work not returned to the student will be held by the instructor for a minimum of 15 days after report cards are issued.

The grading system is as follows:

                                    A……………………………..93 – 100

                                    B………………………………86 – 92

                                    C………………………………78 – 85

                                    D……………………………....70 – 78

                                    F……….……………...69 and below

                                    Inc……………….Incomplete Grade

                                    NC….………………….…No Credit

POWERSCHOOL    

PowerSchool is an electronic management system for student records.   Parents and students can log on the PowerSchool site to monitor student grades and attendance and to request periodic progress reports.   Each student will receive a logon name and password.   Parents and students are encouraged to make use of this resource.   Parents and students can access PowerSchool by logging on to the school web sits at: www.lakeview.esu7.org and clicking on the PowerSchool link.

INCOMPLETE GRADES

Students are reminded that incomplete grades received at the end of a nine week or semester grading period, must be made up within a period of TWO WEEKS following the close of the grading period.   Work not made up could be recorded as a “0” in the grade book.   Exceptions may be approved by the administration.     

HONOR ROLL

In order for a student to be eligible for the honor roll, the student must be a full time student which means that he/she would have to be carrying 20 credits.   Teacher and office aide grades will not be included for honor roll.   The honor roll will be published at the end of each semester.   Any student with an incomplete will not be considered for honor roll.   College courses will be counted for semester honor roll, but not for quarter honor roll.

                          Distinction……………………………….Average of 93% overall

Cheating

Cheating is defined in any one of the following three ways:

• Plagiarism:   knowingly taking or using any other person’s work and representing it as your own.
• Knowingly providing work or information to another student so that he/she doesn’t have to do or know that work on his/her own.
• Use of any unauthorized devices or means (such as crib notes, PDA’s, looking at someone else’s paper, etc.) on tests, quizzes, homework, etc.

Any incidents of cheating will be recorded on the student’s discipline record.   Additional consequences will be determined by the classroom teacher.
