Handbook

Grading Policy: The grades earned in district schools are an indication of each student's performance in the school program provided by the teacher as measured and determined by criteria established by each teacher.

                Grades earned in any course offered in district schools shall reflect student daily participation as well as the fulfillment of other academic requirements as may be established by the teacher (tests and other assignments). Participation is defined as being present and being involved either directly and/or indirectly with the planned activities of the learning experience(s) provided by the teacher.

                All grades in the South Sanpete School District shall be based on a hundred point score system as follows:

95-100   A                             80-82   B-                              67-69   D+

90-94   A-                             77-79   C+                             63-66   D

87-89   B+                            73-76   C                               60-62   D-

83-86   B                              70-72   C-                              0-59   F

With a disclosure statement individual teachers may supersede this grading scale.

                The mark "I" may be used in special circumstances where work relating to a particular marking period is pending completion, subject to an arrangement between the students and the teacher. "P" shall be the mark used for "passing" in those courses where district policy permits its use (works release, teacher aides, etc.).

                Upon the request of the student, the teacher must inform the student of assignments, tests or other activities that relate to the academic requirements which were missed due to excused absences. This must be at a time that does not interfere with instruction of students.

                Teachers will keep an accurate daily attendance record.
