Students will be allowed to drop both semester and year-long classes during the first four weeks, as long as they still maintain 6 credits on their schedule for the school year. They will be allowed to drop second semester courses during the first four weeks of that semester if they maintain 6 credits for the school year. As a result of current state legislation no student will be excused from school before afternoon dismissal for any reason other than to participate in school functions or other activities deemed acceptable by the Marshfield Board of Education. Total grade points are determined by the total number of credits completed and the semester grades in each class. Class rank and honor roll are not the same.
Honor roll is determined by grade point average on a quarterly basis.
Quarter honor rolls are posted in the hall outside of the Guidance Office. Class rank appears on the 2nd and 4th quarter report cards and is updated at the end of each semester. Incompletes and N's are averaged as F's. Grade changes are figured into the next semester ranking. A passing grade will reflect a credit on the transcript but will not be used to compute grade point average or rank in class.
