Because our curriculum is integrated, students will be given one grade for both periods. Grades are based on a straight percentage of all points accumulated after proficiency is demonstrated on Benchmark Assignments:

90 - 100 % A Indicates advanced level work at 90% proficiency or better

80 - 89 % B Indicates proficient level work

70 - 79 % C Indicates basic level work

Below 70 % I Insufficient effort; intervention needed; no credit

A student whose overall score falls below 80% at any time will be referred to Academic Assistance. Students receiving an “I” at the end of a term will be moved to a traditional, rather than Honors, class and will be enrolled in the Credit Intervention class to make up basic credit. Students receiving an “I” fourth term will need to attend summer school to earn credit and advance to Timpview.

American Studies fulfills the state requirements for English and U.S. History. This means a student must pass all four terms in order to be promoted to his/her feeder high school next year. Credit will be given to students who perform at 70% or better in all the Provo School District Power Standards which are taught in this class (Benchmark Assignments), and who perform in this class at basic level, which is 70% or better. Lost credit for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd terms should be made up during the following term in the Credit Intervention class (in place of an elective); summer school programs are the only option to make up lost credit from 4 th term. If credit in any of the four terms is not made up, the student will attend Independence High School instead of his or her feeder high school (see page six in the student handbook for Centennial's "high stakes" policy).

Outstanding citizenship marks will be earned by those students who show courtesy or honesty above the “expected” level. “O”s can also be earned by students who are consistently pleasant and optimistic or who go out of their way to help peers or make our class more pleasant.
Satisfactory citizenship marks are given to the majority of the students. These are students who exhibit the expected levels of courtesy, honesty, cooperation, and respect.
Unsatisfactory citizenship marks are given to those who have five or more tardies, are chronically visiting/disruptive, won’t stay on task, and demonstrate a poor attitude.
