REPORT CARDS

Report cards, which reflect cumulative grading, are distributed eight times a year. Hayes uses the quarter grading system, which means the grades earned at the end of the first, second, third and fourth quarters are transcripted final grades. They represent the quality of work done by the student from the beginning to the end of the quarter. The quality of work plus participation in class are major factors in reaching a final grade.
As is required by district and state policy, at the beginning of the quarter each teacher shall prepare in writing and distribute his/her grading policy. The policy shall include use of participation points and the impact that tardies, absences, participation, and behavior have on grades.

Students of the Month

Be Kind~Be Proud~Be Fearless


Each month, teachers will choose one girl & one boy to be recognized as Students of the Month. These Renegades represent the qualities we look for every day - kindness, pride, fearlessness - in an outstanding manner, throughout their classes. These students are individuals who are consistently striving to do their best despite any obstacles and, in the process, inspiring others.

We celebrate our Renegade Students of the Month with a display in our Commons. Please stop by to read the remarks of nominating teachers and to find out what being a Renegade means to these students.
