Heights HS Grading Cycles for 2018-19

Incomplete Grade

If an "incomplete" cycle grade is not made up within the prescribed time frame, a grade zero "0" should be given for each missing assignment and then all grades should be averaged to determine that cycle grade. If an "incomplete" final exam grade is not made up within the prescribed time frame, the grade reverts to a "0" and is averaged as such with the cycle grades to determine the semester average.

Teacher Grade Changes

The only reason for changing a student's grade after it has been recorded are:

• If there was an error in the computation of the student's grade
• If an error was made entering the grades into Gradespeed files.

All such changes must be initiated by the teacher assigning the grade and must be approved in writing by the principal and the rationale for the change kept on file. A principal may not arbitrarily change a grade. All changes must be made before the end of the next grading period. If work assigned during the cycle was not completed, the students should receive an "INC" and the grade changed when the work is completed within the required time frame.
