include all CTE classes and computer labs. No student will be permitted to work during midmorning<br />
and mid-afternoon breaks, during lunch periods or without teacher supervision after school.<br />
The instructor is to be in the labs at all times when students are present.<br />
Safety rules will be enforced at all times; this includes the wearing of eye protective devices when<br />
performing or observing experiments which may cause eye injury.<br />

dates of student assessments must be kept in the district’s electronic grade book. Each teacher must<br />
record weekly evaluations on each student. Samples of student work must be filed in order to show<br />
adequate evaluation procedures. Copies of all final exams are to be filed with the principal at the<br />
end of each semester. All grades will be reported numerically on a scale of 0 to 100. A minimum<br />
grade of 70 is required for credit in a course.<br />
High schools will have two nine-week grades and a final exam for each semester.<br />
End-of-Course (EOC) courses:<br />
o Each nine weeks will count 50% of the semester average. There is no exam grade used in<br />
the semester average. The benchmark exam is used as a major grade to be included in the<br />
second or fourth nine weeks period.<br />
o Final course grade:<br />
Each final semester grade is worth 42.5% of the final course grade and the End-of-<br />
Course exam will count 15% of the final course grade.
