The District shall provide child abuse antivictimization programs in elementary and secondary schools. Education Code 38.004
Any person who has cause to believe that a child’s physical or
mental health or welfare has been adversely affected by abuse or neglect by any person shall immediately make a report as required by law. Family Code 261.101(a)
Any professional who has cause to believe that a child has been or may be abused or neglected shall make a report as required by law. The report must be made within 48 hours after the profes-sional first suspects abuse or neglect.
A professional may not delegate to or rely on another person to make the report.
A “professional” is a person who is licensed or certified by the state
or who is an employee of a facility licensed, certified, or operated by the state and who, in the normal course of official duties or du-ties for which a license or certification is required, has direct con-tact with children. The term includes teachers, nurses, doctors, day-care employees, and juvenile detention or correctional officers.
Family Code 261.101(b)
An employee may not use or threaten to use the refusal of a par-ent, guardian, or managing or possessory conservator to adminis-ter or consent to the administration of a psychotropic drug to a child, or to consent to any other psychiatric or psychological testing or treatment of the child, as the sole basis for making a report of neglect, unless the employee has cause to believe that the refusal:
1. Presents a substantial risk of death, disfigurement, or bodily injury to the child; or
2. Has resulted in an observable and material impairment to the growth, development, or functioning of the child.
Education Code 26.0091; Family Code 261.111(a) [See FFAC]
The report should reflect the reporter’s belief that a child has been or may be abused or neglected or has died of abuse or neglect. The person making the report shall identify, if known:
1. The name and address of the child;
2. The name and address of the person responsible for the care, custody, or welfare of the child; and
3. Any other pertinent information concerning the alleged or suspected abuse or neglect.

Grading Guidelines (Updated August 2010 April 2013) EIA
(Regulation)
GRADEBOOKS Each teacher must maintain an electronic gradebook and print out a hardcopy of an accurate, up-to-date gradebook. The following information must be recorded in the gradebook:
1. Grades must be entered on a weekly basis in order to maintain a current gradebook.
2. Quizzes, exams, daily assignments, and project grades will be identified with a notation at the column heading that includes student expectations.
3. Grade reductions as a result of academic dishonesty must be noted in the electronic grade book. In addition, a teacher may allow a student a reasonable opportunity to make up or redo a class assignment or examination for which the student received a failing grade (EIA Local). Therefore, any grade changes must be noted in the electronic grade book.
Gradebooks will be available for examination by administrators at all times, and will be filed with the principal at the end of the school term. A Teacher Verification Report for each six weeks must be printed from the student system and attached to gradebook before submitting to the principal.
NUMERIC AND LETTER GRADES
Numeric grades are to be used in report cards and gradebook for 1st through 12th grade students. No letter grades will be used in 1st through 12th grades except for the following 1st through 5th grade courses: Conduct, Technology Applications, Physical Education and Music.
Numeric grades represent the following: 100 – 90 Excellent 89 – 80 Good 79 – 70 Passing 69 – 50 Failure (Elementary) 69 – 0 Failure (Secondary)
Letter grades of S, P, NI, and U are used for the Early Childhood (PK & K) subject areas. Letter grades of S and U are used for those 1st through 5th grade courses requiring letter grades. For averaging purposes, a numeric value must be assigned to each letter grade during the initial gradebook setup process.
The following numeric values correspond to each letter grade: S (Satisfactory) = 95 P (Progressing) = 85 (PK & K Only) NI (Needs Improvement) = 75 (PK & K Only) U (Unsatisfactory) = 65
No Grade - NG will be used for the electronic gradebook and report card if
there is no grade available or a grade cannot be given. An NG must be entered in the electronic gradebook and will appear on the report card.
RETENTIONS FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD
There will be no retentions in Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten.

HIGH SCHOOL PASS OR FAIL DETERMINATION
Pass or failure of year long courses will be determined by the full year course final average. A full year course is defined as a sequence of content continued from Part A (Fall) to Part B (Spring). Examples would include English, Algebra, Biology, etc.
Seventy percent or greater is considered passing. The average of Part A (Fall) and Part B (Spring) must be equal or greater than seventy percent (70%) to receive credit for both parts of a full year course.
Example (1):
English IA = 65 = 0.5 credit
English IB = 79 = 0.5 credit
Grade = 72% average
Example (2):
English IA = 62 = 0.0 credit*
English IB = 72 = 0.5 credit
Grade = 67% average
*Student must retake English IA only.
Pass or failure of semester long courses will be determined by the semester course final average. A semester course is defined as a course where content is contained to a single semester, example, Health, Professional Communications, Government, Economics, etc.
WEIGHTED GRADES FOR PreAP AND AP
When entering grades in the electronic gradebook for PreAP and AP courses, earned numeric grades should be inputted. The weight defined for the course on the student system will be used to calculate GPA at end of the course.
NUMBER OF GRADES PER SIX-WEEKS PERIOD
A minimum of twelve (12) assignment/lab grades and three (3) test grades must be recorded for each student during the six-weeks grading period for each core content area.
NEW COURSES DESIGNATED AS SEMESTER 1 AND SEMESTER 2
For Semester 1 average, the 3 six weeks grades will be averaged and multiplied by 75% and the semester exam will be multiplied by 25%. For Semester 2 average, the 3 six weeks grades will be averaged and multiplied by 75% and the semester exam will be multiplied by 25%. The Full Year Course Final Average will be calculated by averaging the 6 six weeks grades multiplied by 75% and the average of the 2 semester exams multiplied by 25%.
PROGRESS REPORTS Teachers will provide progress reports to parents during the third week of instruction of each six weeks period. The progress report from the electronic gradebook must be used as written notification of student performance. Progress reports will inform parents if student is performing below a level that will permit him or her meeting promotion requirements in accordance with EIA (LOCAL).
In addition to progress reports, teachers will use the following techniques, as applicable, in maintaining communication with parents:
Report cards, with comments as appropriate
Written notices regarding performance, attendance or conduct
Personal conferences
Telephone communication
REPORT CARDS Report cards are issued to students 5-7 working days following the close of each six-week period during the school year. At the close of each school year, the final report card is issued at time and manner designated by each school principal [See EIA (LOCAL)]. With the exception of the report card at the end of the year, all report cards are to be signed by the parent and returned promptly to the school.
INTERIM REPORTS Teachers must issue interim reports at the midpoint of each grading period to the parents of all students with a grade average of 69 or below. Teachers may issue interim reports for other students as well. [See EIA(LOCAL)]
FINAL EXAMS The following grading guidelines will apply:
1. If final exams are given, the principal will keep the final examination papers on file for one year after the exam is administered.
2. A student receiving an incomplete (No Grade - NG) for a grading period has until the second week of the following grading period to convert the incomplete grade to an earned grade.
