Class changes
Students may make class changes any time during the first 5 days of each semester.
Careful planning will eliminate most instances of schedule change request. Approval is required for all class changes by the
school counselor, the classroom teacher that they are dropping, the classroom teacher of the class they are adding, their
parents, or legal guardians, and returned to the school counselor prior to making the change. The school counselor will oversee
all class changes to ensure that each student will meet the Meadows Valley School Districts requirements for graduation.
Grading system Teachers will assign grades at the nine week and may use pluses (+) or minuses (-).
At the semester only whole letter grades will be used. Grade point averages are computed as follows: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0,
D=1.0, F=0.0. Students should be familiar with each teacher’s particular grading system. Students should also be familiar
with which classes offer advanced points for higher GPA opportunities (especially those students in contention for 1st or
2nd class rank.)

Class placement/enrollment MVHS students are encouraged to maximize every opportunity to
develop the skills necessary for success after high school. The curriculum provides course work that will ensure success of
post-secondary efforts. Students must be enrolled as full-time students to be considered appropriately placed with a class designation.
Student must have completed 12 credits to be considered a sophomore, they must have completed 24 credits to be considered
a junior, and they must have completed 36 credits to be considered a senior.
Request for any deviation in these enrollment conditions must
be in writing and submitted to the Principal prior to the start of the semester in which the deviations would occur. Approval
will be at the discretion of the school district. |

respectively. District attendance is one of the award requirements. May 1st grades will determine the two highest GPA’s. Honor roll An honor roll is published
each quarter and semester and indicates students who have earned 4.0, 3.5 and 3.0 GPA.
Graduation requirement/early graduation Students graduating from MVHS will have earned a minimum of 48 credits and met all
specific contents area and elective area requirements. Students may elect to graduate at the end of the first semester of
