CREDITS AND GRADING

Credit is earned after the successful completion of assigned work. Grades are issued by the teachers every quarter and semester via a report card. Students track their individual credit with assistance from their advisor. Official credit checks are conducted by the counselor.

HOMEWORK

The assigning of homework is done by each teacher and only if students ask and request it after the completion of all classroom work. Homework is a privilege which can earn additional credit toward graduation. Homework is only assigned to students who have an 80% or better attendance record.

RETURNING TO BURROUGHS HIGH SCHOOL

Students wanting to return to a comprehensive high school must do so at the end of a semester and be on track with the required number of credits and subjects. Students wanting to graduate from BHS must complete their entire senior year at BHS.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Credit can be earned for work at a job outside of school. Any student who is employed should see the counselor to set up a work experience class in order to obtain high school credits while working. It is also possible to earn academic credits for some volunteer hours.

WORK PERMITS

Any person under 18 years of age must have a work permit issued by the school they are enrolled in, unless working for a parent. Work permits are issued by the counselor. Students not attending school regularly may have their work permit revoked.
