Academic Standards All students are responsible for the New Academic Standards in core subjects required for graduation. These standards are embedded into the semester curriculum and will be part of the quarter and semester grade earned in the course. Earning academic credit for the course will indicate credit for the New Academic Standards as well. No separate record of the New Academic Standards is maintained or communicated to students or parents. Course descriptions in the registration guide explain which standards are embedded into a course. (Board Policy 605.4, Adopted November 17, 2003) The Arts Students will be required to earn 1.0 credits in The Arts. One-half (1/2) of this credit, “analysis and interpretation,” will be earned through American literature courses. Students will earn the other half of The Arts standard, “creation and performance,” by successfully completing one of the following elective classes: Intro to Art, Cabinet Making I and/or Cabinet Making II, Theatre Arts, Theatre Production, Creative Foods, Drawing & Painting I, Drawing & Painting II, Sculpture/Ceramics, Business Applications, Photography/Graphic Design, Web Page & Multimedia Graphic Design, Business Graphics/Photoshop, Web Page Design II or Music (Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Concert Choir, Varsity Choir, or Elements of Music Performance and Composition). Since many of the electives that will satisfy the “creation and performance” standard have pre-requisites, students will need to plan ahead to meet the standard.

A student will be dropped from class without credit on the third absence, regardless of the reason! Absences may not be used on the last two days of summer school, which includes final exams. FINAL EXAMS Final exams will be given on the last day of summer school. Parents/ students will not be allowed to reschedule their finals.
