2. Elementary school students who have met the criteria for acceleration into Algebra or a Foreign Language and whose programming will be best met at the high school will be afforded the opportunity to take a course at PRHS, pending space availability as determined by the PRHS Principal. The student’s PRHS transcript will reflect the coursework and grade(s). The course(s) will not count toward PRHS graduation requirements, and the grade(s) will not be included in the PRHS grade point average. Transportation costs for these students will be borne by the elementary school district. Scheduling will be worked out by the elementary district. C. Students who take summer courses or other programs approved by the Administration will receive notation of course and grade on their transcript but credit will not be counted toward graduation and the grade will not be included in the PRHS grade point average. The student may be allowed to take the next course in the sequence after successfully testing for placement or completing a pre-requisite program of equivalent time and content. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TAKING COURSES AT PLYMOUTH STATE UNIVERSITY In conjunction with the Dean’s Office at the University, the following guidelines have been developed regarding students wishing to enroll in PSU courses while they are attending Plymouth Regional High School. General expectations to keep in mind before applying are: A. Whether or not they meet the requirements of the Acceleration Policy, all students who wish to enroll in courses at PSU must apply through the PRHS Guidance office and must meet all applicable guidelines and requirements. 1. The student’s academic performance must be strong in all areas. 2. The student must be in his/her junior or senior year. 3. The student must have successfully completed all coursework in the chosen field available at PRHS. 4. The student must be a full time student in the high school. To maintain student status at PRHS a student must sustain the equivalent of six courses per semester, one of which may be a PSU course. 5. A student may take a limit of two PSU courses per school year but not more than one PSU course per high school semester. Up to two full credits may be awarded toward PRHS graduation. B. Plymouth State University offers half tuition scholarships each semester to a limited number of PRHS students. For those students who meet the requirements of the Acceleration Policy, the Pemi-Baker School District will pay the balance of tuition, fees, and books for students receiving a scholarship from PSU. For those students who meet the guidelines of the Acceleration Policy but do not receive a scholarship, the Pemi-Baker School District will pay for the student’s full tuition, books and fees. C. No student is to approach a PSU instructor for admittance to a course as part of their high school program before the student has made application through the PRHS Guidance Department and the PSU Dean’s Office. D. PRHS students are not allowed to audit PSU courses paid for by the Pemi-Baker School District. E. Students take courses at PSU on a space available basis. Students enrolled in courses at PSU are expected to complete those courses. PSU policy regarding course drops applies to students from the high school. Students are responsible for understanding the PSU course drop policy and for following it. Students will be responsible for any expenses incurred due to a course drop. AP TESTING POLICY The Plymouth Regional High School Advanced Placement (AP) Program reflects our mission by challenging students to develop attitudes, skills and knowledge through their coursework that will enable them to demonstrate their excellence through the AP Testing Program. Plymouth Regional High School will fund the cost of the test as follows: for students with an average of 85 or better at the end of third quarter, PRHS will pay the full cost for the exam. All other students registering for the exam will pay a deposit equal to the total cost of the test. This payment will be held in escrow and returned, in full, if the student earns a qualifying score of three or better and will be forfeited for a student who does not qualify with a score of three or better. Any student failing to take the exam will be charged the minimum penalty fee for returning the test. A full fee waiver of all charges will be available to any student demonstrating need as determined by the Principal. HONOR ROLL Students must be enrolled in the equivalent of six courses (5½ for seniors), which meet every other day for 90 minutes and maintain the following grades each quarter to be placed on the honor roll. High honors are obtained by securing an average of 90 or better in each class. Honors are obtained by securing 80 or better in each class. ACADEMIC JACKETS Jackets will be awarded by the Northway Bank to those students demonstrating academic excellence. To be eligible for a jacket, a student must accumulate 15 points by the end of the third quarter marking period in their senior year, which shall be awarded on the following scale: 1 Point - each time a student makes the Honor Roll 2 Points - each time a student makes High Honors 134
GRADING Each teacher will hand out a syllabus at the beginning of each semester that details the teacher’s grading policies and expectations. Student achievement for all grades 9-12 will be marked as follows: A 90 - 100 Superior B 80 - 89 Commendable C 70 - 79 Average D 60 - 69 Needs Improvement F 59 or Below Failure (no credit) I Incomplete Incompletes - All incompletes are to be made up in a timely fashion worked out with each teacher and Guidance Department. Progress Reports - At the midpoint (4 1/2 weeks) in each marking period, progress reports will be available on-line to the parents of each student. Report Cards - Reports to parents on student achievement will be issued every nine weeks. All report cards will be available on-line. WEB2SCHOOL PARENT PORTAL Plymouth Regional High School offers parents/guardians access to student information via a Parent Portal. This username and password protected site offers parents/guardians the following information: Daily and class attendance, student schedule, report card, GPA/QPA and rank in class, progress reports, transcript information, and class assignment information (information about assignments and daily grades extracted directly from the teachers’ grade books). All of the information on this site is unofficial. For official information please contact the Registrar. To access the portal, logon to the PRHS website and click on the Web2School logo. MIDTERM EXAMS The midterm exam period will be scheduled for the last four days of first semester. The exam session will be a delayed opening schedule with students taking two tests per day. See the Midterm exam schedule at the beginning of the handbook for times and periods. All students will take midterm exams during the midterm exam period. Students with an unexcused absence from a midterm exam will not be allowed to make-up the exam. Students with an excused absence (i.e. Verified by doctor’s note) will make-up the exam during the next make-up session. Students who are late to a midterm exam will not be allowed into the exam after the first ten minutes of the exam and will not be allowed to make-up the exam. Students may not be dismissed early from testing and must remain in the testing room for the entire 100 minute testing period. Midterm exams will count 10% for half year courses (this is the final exam for those classes). Midterm exams for full year courses will count for 10% and the final exam will count for 10%. The only exception to this is if the midterm counts 5%, the final exam will count 15%. Midterm grades will not be counted as part of second quarter grades. The type of exam (performance, lab, written, oral or combination thereof) will be determined by the teacher(s). Performance type exams may require more than 100 minutes and time should be provided before and/or after the exam dates. All books or money for books will be collected by all teachers prior to the exam. A list will be given to the assistant principal of all students who have not turned in their books or paid for them. This list will be accompanied by a copy of the signed textbook inventory form that was used to issue the textbook at the beginning of the year or semester. Students will take the test but their grade will be held until the book or money for the book is returned. Any money collected will be turned into the Assistant Principal’s Secretary with the name of student, name of book, book number, and amount paid. FINAL EXAMS Final exams will be given in all classes. ALL STUDENTS will take final exams. Students with an unexcused absence from a final exam will not be allowed to make-up the exam. Students with an excused absence (i.e. Verified by doctor’s note) will make-up the exam during the next make-up session. Students who are late to a final exam will not be allowed into the exam after the first ten minutes of the exam and will not be allowed to make-up the exam. Students may not be dismissed early from testing and must remain in the testing room for the entire testing period. Only seniors will be permitted to leave once they have completed their exam. All books will be collected by all teachers prior to the exam. Any money owed for lost or damaged books will be paid to the Assistant Principal’s Secretary in the Main Office. A list will be given to the assistant principal of all students who have not turned in their books or paid for them.

CREDIT RECOVERY POLICY The Credit Recovery Program was instituted to help Freshmen students who have failed a major subject area. Participation in the program is dependent upon available space and criteria. The purpose of Credit Recovery is to allow students to move forward with their classmates with the hope that they stay on track with their class while recovering lost credit(s). Credit Recovery is not available for original credits. 135
