Grades and Grading<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Grade reports are issued at the end of each nine-week period.  The nine-week grades are primarily for information and are not recorded as part of the permanent record.

Academic Supports<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are times where we all need help.  Here are some ways that any student can receive help at Lincoln East High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Communicate with your teacher<\/u><\/b> to schedule a help session before or after school.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Utilize the Learning Hubs<\/u><\/b> during lunch.  EVERY department has a hub location.  This is a great way to get help during the school day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Academic Hour <\/u><\/b>after school from 3:15 p.m. – 4:15 p.m.\n
      \n
    1. Math Support – Room 108 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. All Other Subjects – Media Center on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Satisfactory – Unsatisfactory (Pass\/Fail Option)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      The mark of S (satisfactory) and U (unsatisfactory) may be used instead of the usual four-point scale under the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Secondary students may elect to have part of their work evaluated with a mark of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Requests for S\/U marks which are approved in writing by the student’s counselor and parent and which are filed in the school office by the beginning of the 12th week of the semester shall be honored.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Many colleges and universities do not accept credits marked satisfactory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Requests for marks to be reversed from S\/U to A-F shall be honored anytime during the current grading period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Courses taken for marks of S and U shall not be included when computing honor roll or class rank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Each individual shall be limited to elect an S\/U mark for ten credit points of course work in any one semester and to thirty credit points of course work in grades nine through twelve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Withdrawing from a Class<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        A student may withdraw from a semester or quarter class during weeks 1-3 without record. If a student withdraws during weeks 4-11 of a semester class (4-5 in a quarter class), a \u2018W\u201d will be placed on the student\u2019s record. If a student withdraws during weeks 12-18 of a semester class (6-9 in a quarter class), an \u201cF\u201d will be placed on the student\u2019s record unless approval is granted for either a \u201cW\u201d or an \u201cINC\u201d to be placed on the student\u2019s record. Approval is granted by the principal or his designee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Incomplete Contract<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        When a student and teacher are in agreement that a course, which has not been completed during a regular term, can be successfully completed during an extended time frame, an Incomplete Contract can be developed.  This contract must include the work to be completed, the level of mastery that is acceptable, and a date by which the incomplete is to be finished.  Failure to fulfill any of the above portions of the contract will result in an “F” grade for the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Repeating a Class<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        If you retake a class either due to failure or to raise the grade you need to pick up a Request to Repeat a Class Form from our registrar’s office prior to taking the class in order to replace the old grade on your permanent record.  Reminder: The course that is retaken must<\/em> be the same as the original course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Honor Roll<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Honor Roll is based on semester grades.  Students must be registered for a minimum of 25 graded credit hours with a 3.5 weighted grade-point-average excluding courses graded pass\/fail, work-study and assistant assignments for which credit is earned, and correspondence courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Honor Roll:
        Students with a 3.5 to 3.749 weighted semester GPA (H)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Honor Roll with Distinction:
        Students with a weighted semester GPA of 3.750 to 3.999 (H+)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Honor Roll with High Distinction:
        Students with a weighted semester GPA of 4.000 to 4.249 (H++)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Honor Roll with Highest Distinction:
        Students with a weighted semester GPA of 4.250 and above (H+++)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Academic Letter Standard<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        To be eligible for an Academic Letter a student must have earned a cumulative GPA of 4.0 or above (weighted grades) for two consecutive semesters while being enrolled in a minimum of 25 credit hours of graded course work.  First-time recipients receive a chenille letter and recipients of a second academic letter receive an academic pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Graduation Honors<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Beginning with the class of 2021, the Laude Latin model was adopted to recognize academic excellence at the conclusion of a student’s high school career. Students work to compete against the criterion for academic honors – rather than other students. The following three levels of academic honors will be used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. SUMMA CUM LAUDE – \u201cwith highest distinction\u201d: Students with cumulative GPA of 4.250 and above on a 4.00 weighted scale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. MAGNA CUM LAUDE – \u201cwith great distinction\u201d: Students with cumulative GPA of 4.000 to 4.249 on a 4.00 weighted scale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. CUM LAUDE – \u201cwith distinction\u201d: Students with cumulative GPA of 3.750 to 3.999 on a 4.000 weighted scale.
          S=Satisfactory (Credit earned)
          U=Unsatisfactory (Credit withheld)
          Grades of S and U are not included in GPA calculations.
          INC=Incomplete<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Graduation honors will be determined following the second to last semester of high school and the student is required to graduate by the end of the next semester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
