GRADING SYSTEM A = 90 - 100 B = 80 - 89 C = 74 - 79 D = 70 - 73 F = Below 70 I = Incomplete
An incomplete may be given when a student has not completed course requirements due to an extended illness . If the work is not made up within 10 calendar days after the end of the term , the incomplete work will be counted as zeroes , and a grade will be assigned for the course .
Additionally , conduct grades will be given for each course . Conduct grades will be either satisfactory ( S ), needs improvement ( N ), or unsatisfactory ( U ).

HONOR CODE / CHEATING Personal honor is a student ' s most valuable possession . The Honor Code was established using the value of integrity . The code was developed by students and teachers and explains all responsibilities , expectations , and consequences regarding dishonesty . Our current policy is as follows :
1 . Cheating is defined as copying , giving or receiving any work that is done by someone else . This includes - but is not limited to - homework , tests , projects , research assignments , and reports .
2 . Any student found guilty of cheating will receive a “ 0 ” on that graded item and a conduct grade of “ U ” on the report card . In addition , the teacher is required to contact a parent / guardian of the student ( s ) who committed the infraction . Additional infractions are subject to disciplinary action .
3 . Membership in all Honor Societies requires that candidates for admission ( and members ) be “ students in good standing ”. Therefore , a violation of the Honor Code may lead to a student not meeting qualifications for membership--or being dismissed from membership-- from honor societies and / or leadership positions of clubs and organizations .
