Alaska High <strong>School</strong> Graduation Qualifying Examination (HSGQE)<br />
The Alaska State Legislature requires that all Alaska high school students must pass an<br />
examination before <strong>the</strong>y can receive a high school diploma. The HSGQE consists of<br />
three subtests: reading, writing and ma<strong>the</strong>matics. A student who has met all graduation<br />
requirements of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bering</strong> <strong>Strait</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> and passed all sections of <strong>the</strong> Alaska<br />
High <strong>School</strong> Graduation Qualifying Exam will receive a high school diploma. A student<br />
who has met all graduation requirements of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bering</strong> <strong>Strait</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> but has not<br />
passed all sections of <strong>the</strong> Alaska High <strong>School</strong> Graduation Qualifying Exam shall be<br />
awarded a Certificate of Achievement. The HSGQE Retest is offered twice a year,<br />
once in <strong>the</strong> spring and again each fall, for 11 th and <strong>12</strong> th graders. Eleventh and <strong>12</strong> th grade<br />
students who need to retake one or more subtests of <strong>the</strong> HSGQE must retest at least<br />
once each year until <strong>the</strong>y meet <strong>the</strong> proficiency requirement.<br />
Grades and Evaluation of Student Achievement<br />
The Superintendent or designee shall be responsible for implementing a uniform system<br />
of measuring, recording, and reporting student achievement. Principals shall ensure that<br />
student grades conform to this system. The <strong>BSSD</strong> grading system will ensure that <strong>the</strong><br />
student, teacher, and <strong>the</strong> parents can assess progress toward <strong>the</strong> educational goals of a<br />
particular course of study.<br />
Students shall be informed in writing at <strong>the</strong> onset of any course of study of <strong>the</strong> behaviors<br />
and expectations of <strong>the</strong> course. They shall be kept informed of <strong>the</strong>ir progress during <strong>the</strong><br />
course of study.<br />
Quarterly grade reports will be provided to students and parents. Semester grades (an<br />
average of quarter grades) are officially recorded on transcripts.<br />
In order to be in compliance with Alaska State Regulation 4 AAC 07.060 Student<br />
Records:<br />
(a) Each district shall maintain for each student a cumulative record consisting at<br />
a minimum, of <strong>the</strong> following:<br />
(1) Subjects student has taken<br />
(2) Grades earned and an explanation of <strong>the</strong> grading system used<br />
(3) Units of credit earned<br />
Secondary grades shall be reported for each semester as follows:<br />
A+ (97-100%) Assessments indicate a high level of understanding<br />
A (93-96%) Almost all or all learning goals are fully met<br />
A- (90-92%<br />
B+ (87-89%) Assessments indicate a good grasp of concepts & skills<br />
B (83-86%) Most learning goals are fully met<br />
B- (80-82%)<br />
C+ (77-79%) Assessments indicate satisfactory acquisition of skills & concepts<br />
C (73-76%) More than half of <strong>the</strong> learning goals are fully or consistently met<br />
C- (70-72%)<br />
D (60-69%) Assessments indicate weak acquisitions of skills & concepts<br />
Only a few of <strong>the</strong> learning goals are fully or consistently met<br />
<br />

Incomplete<br />
Incomplete grades must be approved by site administrators for students who are unable<br />
to have access to instruction due to medical or family emergencies. An “I” indicates that<br />
course requirements were not completed by <strong>the</strong> student. An “I” must be made up within<br />
a time period specified by <strong>the</strong> principal or designee not to exceed 30 days of <strong>the</strong> date<br />
when grades are issued to parents.<br />
If course work is not completed within <strong>the</strong> specified time period, <strong>the</strong> grade will be<br />
calculated based on completed/incomplete work.<br />
Pass/Fail Grading<br />
Pass/Fail grades are for credit recovery courses and special education.<br />
A student may elect to earn a “Pass” or “Fail” grade instead of an A-F grade for a course<br />
if documented in an IEP.<br />
Credit Recovery<br />
With <strong>the</strong> approval of <strong>the</strong> principal or designee, a student may be scheduled into courses<br />
specifically for <strong>the</strong> purpose of “recovering” credits and making up graduation<br />
requirements not previously earning credit. Credit recovery courses are graded “Pass”<br />
or “Fail” and earn credit but do not contribute to a GPA.<br />
Repeated <strong>Course</strong> – (Replacing Grades)<br />
With <strong>the</strong> approval of <strong>the</strong> principal or designee, a student may repeat a course in order to<br />
raise his/her grade. The student shall only receive credit for taking <strong>the</strong> course once.<br />
The highest grade received will be <strong>the</strong> permanent grade on <strong>the</strong> student’s transcript.<br />
Dropping <strong>Course</strong>s<br />
A high school student who drops a course any time during <strong>the</strong> first 2 weeks of <strong>the</strong><br />
semester will have that course purged from <strong>the</strong> transcript and may be enrolled in a new<br />
class.<br />
Transcripts<br />
High school transcripts are legal documents. They may not be amended except to<br />
correct errors and enter replacement grades for repeated courses once courses and<br />
grades have been posted to <strong>the</strong> transcript. Middle school students wishing to receive<br />
<br />

<br />
credit for high school courses taken during middle school should consider <strong>the</strong> effect of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se grades on <strong>the</strong>ir grade point average.<br />
Distance Education <strong>Course</strong>s<br />
With <strong>the</strong> approval of <strong>the</strong> principal or designee, a student may choose to take a course<br />
via distance education. There are multiple platforms for students to take distance<br />
education courses. These include: Northwest Campus/UAF, CompassLearning, and<br />
<strong>the</strong> Alaska Learning Network (AKLN). Below are some general guidelines schools use<br />
to support students while taking distance education courses.<br />
Students taking a distance education course will have:<br />
• A designated space to work in during class time,<br />
• Access to <strong>the</strong> tools (computer, etc…) and resources (textbook, etc…)<br />
necessary to successfully complete <strong>the</strong> course,<br />
• Supervision during <strong>the</strong> designated class time,<br />
• A certified Teacher of Record assigned who will:<br />
• meet regularly with <strong>the</strong> student to assist with questions on<br />
coursework and timely course submissions/completion,<br />
• communicate student performance to <strong>the</strong> counselor and principal,<br />
• record student performance in DART for permanent records and<br />
grade report cards.<br />
Credit By Choice Program for Middle <strong>School</strong> Students<br />
Middle school students, after consultation with school administration and <strong>the</strong>ir parents,<br />
may elect to add to <strong>the</strong>ir transcript certain courses taken during middle school to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
high school transcript. Math courses of Algebra I or higher and Literature courses<br />
normally taken during high school that are taken during middle school may be eligible to<br />
be included on <strong>the</strong> high school transcript. The letter grades are entered on <strong>the</strong> transcript<br />
and calculated in <strong>the</strong>ir grade point average.<br />
Alaska <strong>School</strong> Activities Association (ASAA) eligibility for sports and<br />
activities<br />
Participation in middle and high school athletics is a privilege. All students are expected<br />
to comply with local, state, and federal laws, <strong>the</strong> rules and regulations of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bering</strong><br />
<strong>Strait</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong>, and <strong>the</strong> Alaska <strong>School</strong> Activities Association requirements.<br />
Students will be denied <strong>the</strong> ability to participate if <strong>the</strong>y: do not meet eligibility<br />
requirements, engage in behavior that is detrimental to <strong>the</strong> well being of <strong>the</strong> team or<br />
school, are in violation of <strong>the</strong> tobacco rule, or are in violation of <strong>the</strong> drug and alcohol rule.<br />
The students are ambassadors of our schools in <strong>the</strong>se competitions and <strong>the</strong>refore<br />
academic eligibility, good grades, and consistent attendance is <strong>the</strong> rule not <strong>the</strong><br />
exception.<br />

Career and Technical Education – <strong>BSSD</strong> Pathways<br />
The <strong>Bering</strong> <strong>Strait</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> is joining with <strong>the</strong> State of Alaska which has “pledged to<br />
create world-class schools that prepare graduates for careers – careers that may begin<br />
immediately after high school graduation, or may require additional education and<br />
training at <strong>the</strong> post secondary level” (Alaska Career and Technical Education Plan 2010,<br />
page 2).<br />
<strong>BSSD</strong> Pathways address individual student needs and interests for career preparedness<br />
as well as <strong>the</strong> cultural and social need for an educational system that is efficient,<br />
effective, and coordinated with regional and state workforce needs.<br />
<strong>BSSD</strong> Pathways are organized around seven broad career clusters. The career clusters<br />
are:<br />
1. Health Sciences<br />
2. Architecture, Construction, and Engineering<br />
3. Human Services<br />
4. Business, Information Technology<br />
5. Education & Training<br />
6. Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics<br />
7. Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources<br />
Emphasis is given to: preparing students to earn recognized industry certifications in<br />
Career & Technical Education, preparing students for post-secondary education and<br />
training, preparing students with entry level skills necessary for <strong>the</strong> work force in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
chosen career area, and advising students with a Personal Learning and Career Plan<br />
transitioning <strong>the</strong>m into a career/job opportunity or post-secondary education/training.<br />

SS 6 & 7: Alaska Studies*(One Semester) <br />
This course is designed for juniors and seniors. We are going to spend <strong>the</strong> semester <br />
exploring <strong>the</strong> history, people, and economy of what makes Alaska unique. As we begin <br />
this journey toge<strong>the</strong>r, think about why Alaska has held such a mystique and fascination <br />
for folks to visit. In this course, ra<strong>the</strong>r than primarily "reading" about history from one <br />
textbook, you will be using many primary and secondary source materials to uncover <br />
Alaska's history, geography, and many cultures. In your previous study of history, you <br />
should have covered <strong>the</strong> difference between a primary source, which is a photograph or <br />
artifact or document from a person who was at <strong>the</strong> historical "event" at <strong>the</strong> time; and a <br />
secondary source, which is from someone who was not necessarily <strong>the</strong>re, but perhaps <br />
studied or read <strong>the</strong> primary sources. The history provided in this course is from both <br />
primary sources and secondary sources. It will benefit your perspective to think about <br />
this as you read both kinds of sources and develop your conclusions. In addition, instead <br />
of trying to "cover" everything in depth, we will "post-‐hole" important events and <br />
trends in Alaska, digging deeper into various topics. <br />
