Grading Scale
The following is the grading scale for the Pine-Richland School District:

90-100% A
80-89% B
70-79% C
60-69% D
0-59% F

Honor Roll
Honor roll students are determined each nine weeks. All subjects are used in determining the
honor roll. To earn the distinction of honor, high honor, or highest honor, students may not have
any grades below a C. The honor roll scale is as follows:

3.25 – 3.49 Honor
3.50 – 3.74 High Honor
3.75 – 4.0 Highest Honor

Merit Scholars Program
The Merit Scholars Ceremony is held at the end of the school year. Students that are eligible
must have a 3.85 cumulative GPA or above for the first three grading periods in the current school
year.

Incomplete Grades
We expect students to complete all course requirements. Should a situation arise in which some
requirements are not completed by the end of the quarter, students will receive an “INC” for
incomplete on their report card. The student will then have ten school days after report card
distribution to complete all course requirements. Failure to do so will result in the incomplete
grade becoming an F.

Academic Integrity
Students are expected to do their own school work. Students must not represent the work of
others as their own. Some examples of falsely representing work include forging a parent’s
signature, cheating on tests and quizzes, copying homework, and using the work of others without
giving them credit.

Instances of cheating, forgery and plagiarism will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Generally,
the consequences for these situations are academic. For example, students may not receive
credit for the work and may have to redo an assignment. Additionally, if copyright laws have
been violated, students may see legal action from outside parties.

HALL PASSES (ASSIGNMENT BOOKS)
Students must have their teacher’s permission before they can leave any classroom for any
reason. Students are not to be in the halls during a class period unless they have signed out of
their classroom and they have their assignment book initialed by an authorized staff member.
Teachers have been requested to limit student access to the hallways during instructional periods.
