PTHS Student Handbook 2021-2022

35 SCHOLASTIC HONOR ROLL Pontiac Township High School recognizes all students who maintain a consistently high level of achievement in the subject matter field. This recognition is a published list of Honor Roll students in our community newspaper. Three honor rolls are designated for students who achieve high levels of academic excellence. The three honor rolls include: • Straight A Honors - attainment of A’s in all classes; Students receiving a D or F in any course as a 9-week or semester grade do not qualify for Honor Roll designation for that grading period. INTERPRETATION OF LETTER GRADES Semester grades must be calculated using percentages. Plus and minus symbols may be used in all grade reporting. In figuring the semester grade, the comprehensive semester grade will reflect student learning throughout the entire semester, including any final summative assessment administered. A final summative assessment can count for up to 20% of the semester grade. Each department may decide the percentage for the summative assessment; however the percentage must be consistent within common classes. • High Honors - attainment of 3.75-4.0 in all classes which count toward GPA; • Honors - attainment of 3.0-3.74 in all classes which count toward GPA.

Each semester grade will stand on its own. There will be no conditional grades given.

An “I” indicates that work has not been satisfactorily completed. Incomplete grades may be given only for health reasons or circumstances approved by the administration. Incomplete work must be completed within two weeks after the close of the grading period unless approved by administration. All incomplete assignments, tests, and exams will be recorded as a “0” if the student does not complete the work within the required make-up time frame.
