III. GRADE INFORMATION

Grades are assigned by each teacher and are based on a student's daily assignments, written lesson, tests,
and class participation. Grades will be given in letters, and the letters will appear on the report card every

9 weeks. The letter has a numerical equivalency for computing the student's total academic point average.
The following letters are used in recording marks for reporting purposes. Also indicated are quality points

(Q.P.) for college prep (C.P.), honors (H.), advance placement (A.P.), and college credit plus (CCP)
courses.
