Grading and Subject Drop


CUMULATIVE GRADING
    Each grade during the semester will be recorded using a numerical value. At the end of each 6 week grading period, the teacher will convert the numerical value to a percentage which will be recorded on the student’s Interim Report. At the end of the semester, the percentage will be converted into a letter grade in accordance with Tangipahoa Parish School System regulations.

INCOMPLETE GRADES
    An incomplete (I) is given only in those cases where illness or emergency has kept the student from completing the assignments. Absences for any other reason must be pre-approved by the administration. Make-up work is the complete responsibility of the student. No credit (N/C) is given for excessive absences for the semester.

DROPPING SUBJECTS
    No student will be allowed to drop a subject without permission of the principal or assistant principal in charge of curriculum and instruction. No exceptions will be made to this rule.

    Internet access is available on the library’s 36 computers. Each student must have a signed copy of the Tangipahoa Parish School System’s Internet Acceptable Use Policy on file in the library in order to be issued an Internet card. This card must be presented each time the student wishes to use a computer in the library. Students are expected to abide by all conditions of this contract, which must be signed by both the student and a parent. No e-mail or chatroom use is allowed. No floppy discs may be used without the permission of a librarian. Any violation of usage rules may result in permanent loss of computer privileges.
    Certain special services are available in the library. Copies and computer printouts are available for $.10 per page. Lamination is available for $.50 per foot.
