The school day operates on a 6 period schedule. The 4 academic classes consist of Math, Language Arts, Science & Social Studies. Each student has 2 discovery classes and an advisory time at the beginning of the day. Students will receive academic plans for each class with expectations, procedures and teacher contact information.
ALPHA AND BETA AWARDS:
Alpha Awards are given to students who have all A’s in all academic subjects each quarter. Beta Awards are given to students who have a B or better in all academic subjects each quarter. Assemblies will be held to award students’ certificates at the end of the school year.
GRADE REPORTING:
Students receive an interim grade at the middle of each nine weeks and a report card at the end of each nine weeks. Parents may access interim grades via PowerSchool. Report cards will be available through PowerSchool and will be emailed to parents.
PROMOTION/RETENTION GRADING SCALE:
See your PSH (HCS “Parent/Student Guide”) for information on requirements that must be met in order to be promoted to the next grade. The grading scale is as follows:
A=90-100
B=80-89
C=70-79
D=60-69
F=59 and below
POWERSCHOOL PORTAL:
All students and parents have a PowerSchool username and password. We encourage students and parents to actively login to view class grades, assignments, and attendance. Your username and password remain the same while in Horry County Schools.
MAKE UP WORK:
Students are expected to be in school on a regular basis to achieve specific curriculum objectives. Students are required to ask for all work missed. When students are out of school with excused absences, the student will be given a reasonable amount of time to make up work.
LATE WORK:
Students are expected to submit work on the due date. For every day late, 10 points will be deducted from the assignment grade. After 5 school days, a zero will be recorded for that assignment.
