CITIZENSHIP POLICY
The purpose of having citizenship policy is to improve behavior and attendance at school and school sponsored activities.
Citizenship Policy Determination
The citizenship grade will be determined by a student's behavior and attendance for each class. Non class related behavior issues will affect a student's citizenship grade in advisory.
Citizenship Grades
Honors (H) = No behavior issues or 1 absence per quarter.
Satisfactory (S) = No more than two documented Level I or Level II offenses or 2-3 absences per quarter.
Needs Improvement (N) = No more than three documented Level I or Level II offense or 1 documented level III offense or 4 absences per quarter.
Unsatisfactory (U) = 4 or more documented Level I or Level II offenses, more than 1 documented Level III offense, or 1 or more documented Level IV or Level V offense or 5 or more absences per quarter.
Extenuating circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis.
Citizenship Credit Make-up:
* Once a "U" has been posted, student will be required to make-up the grade. The make-up option selected must be completed by the end of the next grading period.
* See Mrs. O'Grady in the counseling office for information on how to make up "U"s.
** If not completed by the end of the next grading period it will automatically become a fine of $20 per "U".
** Seniors must have all "U" grades taken care of prior to being cleared for graduation.
** 4th quarter make-up must be completed by the last day of school.
