Work Ethic
In addition to the academic grade, a work ethics grade (indicated as Citizenship on the report card) will be issued each quarter. This grade is based on your attendance, dependability, initiative, participation, cooperation and behavior. Refer to your student handbook for descriptions of behavior and ethics warranted for each grade. The scale used for ethics is as follows:
(H) Honorable
(S) Satisfactory
(N) Needs Improvement
(W) Weak
Homework/Assignments
You will only be assigned homework occasionally due to the nature of this course. All homework and in-class assignments are expected to be completed by the due date. In the event you do not complete work fully and/or by the due date, you will receive a grade letter reduction for each day the work is late.
Second Chance Assessments
In some instances, you may be motivated to request a second chance on an assessment. Should you wish to challenge yourself to improve your learning, you may earn an opportunity to retake certain assessments. Please understand that a Second Chance/Retake is not automatic and will require you to complete a remediation program. You will have 1 class meeting to decide whether you would like to request a retake. Upon receiving permission to retake an assessment, you will have 5 school days to complete the remediation program AND take your second chance assessment. Please note that all second chance retakes will be different than the original assessment as per District guidelines.

Bullying
The Donegal High School faculty,
staff, and administration make every effort to provide a positive and safe
environment for our students. With this in mind, Donegal High School has
established the policy and procedures outlined below for addressing bullying in
the school community.
Bullying Defined: Bullying means any intentional written, electronic, verbal,
or physical act or actions against another person that a reasonable person
under the circumstances should know will have an effect of:
- Placing a person in reasonable fear of substantial harm to his or her emotional or physical well-being or substantial damage to his or her property.
- Creating a hostile, threatening, humiliating, or abusive educational environment due to the pervasiveness or persistence of actions due to a power differential between the bully and the target.
- Interfering with a student having a safe school environment that is necessary to facilitate education performance, opportunities, and/or benefits.
- Perpetuating bullying by inciting, soliciting, or coercing an individual or group to demean, dehumanize, or embarrass or cause emotional, psychological, or physical harm to another person.
