H unit (11th or 12th grade) Grading Student performance is graded four times a year on an A, B, C, D, F basis with A representing excellent work, B indicating very good work, C representing average work, D indicating below average work and F indicating failure. We encourage teachers to grade students on their performance compared to their ability. F grades are generally reserved for students who, in spite of continual effort by the teacher and with parent notification made well in advance of the end of the grading penod, still refuse to meet the minimum expectations forclass members. A student should not be given an F unless: 1. Conscientious teacher effort is made. 2. Parent notification is given early enough for something to be done, a 3. The student is capable of meeting the requirements of the course. The I grade is given if a student has been legitimately absent so much that they are unable to pass the course, or the grade they earned would be far below their ability level. The student should be given approximately one day, fa each day missed, to make up work, then the teacher refigures the grade and changes it on the proper fams. (See Mrs Gale) The N M (no mark) grade is reserved fa the student who transferred in a out, and who was not in the class long enough to justify a grade. Oncea student is placed into his her schedule ofclasses, we are very reluctant to make changes. Changes may be made only on these conditions: 1. The proposed change must better help the student meet his her stated career goal. Class Changes -14-

Uintah High School Attendance Policy The Uintah School District Board of Education recognizes that regular attendance at school increases the opportunities for students to profit from their educational programs The Board also recognizes that the Utah Compulsory Attendance Law directs parents to require their children between the ages of six and eighteen years of age to attend school unless they have graduated from high school or have been excused by the Board of Education from such school attendance. Frequent absences of students from the day-to-day classroom experiences disrupt the instructional and learning processes The benefits of instruction, once lost, are often difficult to regain. The entire process of education requires a continuity of instruction, class participation, learning experiences, and study Therefore, Uintah High School will make every effort within the following guidelines to encourage regular attendance of all students and to assist parents in their responsibility to have their children attend school regularly -15-
