Graduation Requirements
It is the policy of the Camanche Community School District to require 22.5 credits for graduation from Camanche High School. A credit is given for a satisfactorily (D- or above) completed subject requiring approximately six hours of work per week for an entire semester. A credit is awarded for satisfactory completion of two semesters of work. Every student is required to include a minimum of 5 credits per year plus physical education. Variation from this policy will be allowed only with the consent of the Principal.
Credit must be earned in the following areas :
4 credits of English
8 Semesters (1 credit) of Physical Education & Health
3 credits of Science
.5 credits in Computer Literacy (or complete Computers 1 &2)
3 credits of Social Studies
3 credits of Math
.5 credits in Financial Literacy
The remaining credits may be selected from the various elective courses offered by other departments. The final selections depend on each student’s talents, interests, and future plans. Professional consultation with teachers or the school counselors is essential for each student in determining his or her academic program.
Students transferring credit from other high schools should not be handicapped, time-wise, in fitting into the Camanche High academic standards. At the same time, efforts should be made, through one-to-one conferences with the school counselor and/or department heads to evaluate the student’s previous program to avoid overlapping of courses or voids in the continuity of programs. The needs of the individual student must be given prime consideration in all cases.
NOTES:
1. Physical Education are not computed in Grade Point Average.
3. All prerequisites must be met by the student or written permission from the instructor given before any credit will be accepted for the subject.
MINIMUM SUBJECT REQUIREMENTS: Every student is required to include a minimum of 6 academic units per year, (3 per semester), plus Physical Education. Variation from this policy will be allowed only with the consent of the Principal and the School Counselor.
INCOMPLETE GRADES: All incomplete grades must be made up within a 10 school day period following the day of issuance of report cards. Only under most unusual circumstances will this period of time be extended. Grades not made up will be converted to the grade earned by the student with their completed work.
CHANGING OF CLASS SCHEDULE: There will be a minimum of schedule changing after final registration, so please be careful in your selection of courses the first time.
