The Beeline - Box Elder High School - Box Elder School District

The administration reserves the right to set the standards for participation in graduation
exercises. Those not conforming to the standards will not be allowed to participate and will
receive their diploma at another time.
GRADING SCALE -- six distinctions are made in subject or achievement grades (plus or minus
grades may be used): a=excellent, b=above average, c=average, d=below average, p=passing,
f=failing. The following distinctions may also be indicated: i=incomplete, ng=no grade, w=
withdrawal grade. An “i” will become an “f” if student does not meet the criteria of the teacher for
make up. A “w” (withdrawal grade) is awarded to a student who is enrolled more than ten school
days but fewer than thirty days and upon withdrawal. Any withdrawal made after thirty days, with
the exception of transfers, or extraordinary circumstances, will result in an automatic f (failing)
grade. An “ng” (no grade) will be assigned to students who under extraordinary circumstances,
approved by a counselor or administration, were unable to complete a course for which they were
enrolled.
All “w’s” (withdrawal grades) and “NG’s” (no grades) will appear on a student’s final transcript.
Distinctions in citizenship markings are as follows: H=Honor, S=Satisfactory, N=Needs
Improvement, U= Unsatisfactory.
HALL PASSES -- Students who need to be out of class during class time must carry an official
Box Elder High School Hall Pass issued by a teacher of that class. Only one student may use a hall
pass at a time. Students who are in the hall during class without a regulation hall pass or who
accompany another student with a pass may receive a truancy citation.
HOME AND HOSPITAL INSTRUCTION -- Home or hospital instruction shall be offered to
those pupils who are unable to attend school due to mental or physical illness or injury, as follows:
• A child with a health or physical impairment which, in the opinion of a licensed
medical examiner, will cause him/her to be absent from school for more than ten
school days and who school personnel determine can educationally benefit from
such a program, or
• A child whose educational needs are most appropriately and effectively met by
such a program as determined by the school administrator, school nurse and a
parent or legal guardian.
• Contact the office for information regarding home/hospital instruction and for the
form needed.
