No Credit (Fail) 0-54%

Junior Team - Assessment Retake Policy•Students are permitted one retake within one week of receiving their assessment grade per semester. If the assessment is designated “Summative” (unit assessments, major essays and projects), students are required to attend at least one hour of tutoring and complete one additional assignment prior to the retake.

Junior Team – Late Work Policy•When a student fails to turn an independent practice/summative/formative assessment in on time they lose the ability to retake/redo the assessment. Late work will not be accepted after one week. Not all assessments will be accepted late. Teachers must inform students when late assignments will not be accepted.

For major summative assessments (i.e. essay or project), Junior students may turn in late work once per semester per course.

Junior Team – Unexcused Tardy Policy•Tardy students receive a fifteen minute detention that must be served the same day. If a student fails to attend, the student will receive a thirty minute detention the following day. If the student fails to attend this second detention, the student will be referred to the Dean for further disciplinary action.

Walking Norms•No walking alone. Only walk over with a Teacher or Staff member.•If you drive to school, no driving to The Down Town Center (unless you have a medical release to do so.)•No walking across the railroad tracks. We will be crossing the tracks on the bridge with a teacher and in groups.•Do not walk in front of the Metro Station. Stay on sidewalk.•No skateboarding or bicycling to and from The Down Town Center.•No walking in the street. Only cross the street at a cross walk.•If we need to cross over the train tracks it is important to remember, when crossing railroad tracks, only cross when it is safe. Do not cross when the railroad arms are down, the lights are flashing and the train is in close proximity. Use common sense. Citations are given out by PPD for not following the laws.

•Rules regarding railroad and train crossings: Look in both directions and listen for trains. Many crossings have multiple tracks, so be ready to stop before crossing. Cross railroad tracks only at designated crossings and only when it is safe to do so. •Never stop on the railroad tracks. Remember that a train cannot stop quickly or swerve out of the way. If you are on the tracks you risk injury or death. •Remember that flashing red lights mean STOP! Stop at least 15 feet, but not more than 50 feet, from the nearest track when the crossing devices are active or a person warns you a train is coming. Stop if you see a train coming or you hear the whistle, horn, or bell of an approaching train. •Do not go under lowering gates or around lowered gates. Flashing red lights indicate you must stop and wait. Do not proceed over the crossing until the red lights stop flashing, even if the gate rises. CUC 22451(b) - Pedestrian going around activated R/R crossing.•The rule also applies to “walking” field trips.•Any student that is not in compliance with the rules stated above will be subject to detention or suspension/expulsion and a possible citation.

Junior Projects

•Projects will no longer be full-blown culmination projects per semester.

•Smaller projects requiring collaboration of at least to core subjects will be given instead.
