Honor Roll

Students receive recognition for academic achievement according to the following criteria:

High Honors: average grade of all classes is 95 and above, and no N's or U's for conduct.
Honors: average grade of all classes is 90 to 94, no N's or U's for conduct.

Grade point averages are calculated to the hundredth and are not rounded for Honor Roll.

HOMEWORK POLICY

Daily homework is an integral part of our curriculum and instruction. Students are expected to complete all assignments in a timely way. Regular and diligent completion of homework is an important factor in academic success. Students can expect about 1⁄2 hour of homework per evening in each major subject.

Late & Missed Work

It is the responsibility of every student to complete work in a timely manner.

ABSENCES
In the event that a student is absent, the student will have two days, for each day the student missed, to make up the missed work.

WORK NOT COMPLETED ON TIME/MISSING WORK
Homework assignments given to review the day’s work or to prepare students for the next day’s lesson may not be made up.* These could include, but are not limited to math problems, questions based on the reading or vocabulary assignments.

*At the end of each marking period, ONE missing homework grade (grade of zero) will be dropped. Notes from parents will not waive this policy.

When a long-term assignment is turned in late, points equivalent to one third of a grade (for example from A to A- or from a B+ to a B) will be reduced for each day the assignment is not turned in. After five days, the assignment will not be accepted.
