4.5 Make-up or Missed WorkWhen students have been absent, each teacher will determine a reasonable amount of time allowed for work to be made up, but it will normally not exceed twice the number of school days missed. For example, if the student was absent one day, the work will be made up within two days. Work turned in within the time limit set by the teacher will be graded at full credit. Work turned in after the time limit will receive a penalty grade. Work assigned prior to the absence should be submitted upon return to school, and tests assigned prior to the absence should be taken upon return. (Exceptions may be made for absences which exceed two days.) 4.6 Student RecordsThe school maintains a permanent cumulative file on all Academy students. Records of health, grades, standardized tests scores, and anything pertaining to the academic progress of the student make up the content of these files. These records are kept in fire-proof file cabinets in the respective guidance office. These files are also confidential and only for the viewing of the student’s parents, guardians, guidance staff, principal, and teachers. The Academy will release a student’s cumulative file upon the written request of the parent or another school system. The confidentiality of cumulative records will be maintained. The professional staff or other approved persons may have access to the records under conditions specified by the principal. Records will not be released when a student’s financial account is not paid in full upon withdrawal or completion of a school year. If records must be retained and another school system needs information for placement, the new school’s guidance office may call to get information over the phone from the respective guidance office or principal. 4.7 Summer SchoolThe Academy offers summer school for remediation purposes. Students in grades 7-8 who fail core subjects (excluding Science) and require summer school for promotion attend a five-week summer school beginning a week after school’s end. Students in grades 9-12 may attend summer school to save a credit in a particular subject with the principal’s approval. 4.8 Semester and Final ExamsAll academic classes will administer Semester Final exams. These tests are not subject to waiver and will consist of ten percent of the grade for the semester. Students with unexcused absences during final exams will receive a zero grade for the exam. Parents should not consider Finals week as family vacation week. 4.9 Jan TermJan Term occurs during the first two weeks of second semester. Modeled after college Winterim programs, Jan Term is designed to increase learning opportunities for students. Students have the unique opportunity to travel through a variety of educational and mission trips. As Juniors and Seniors, RBCS students have the chance to experience firsthand a profession through work internships, before they decide on a college major. 4.10 Course ChangesParents, as those responsible for the education of their children, should oversee their children's progress through graduation. The student, of course, has the responsibility to fulfill course requirements, but choices of courses taken each year should be parentally guided. RBCS strongly recommends that students take at least seven courses (to include the core courses scheduled) each year. Not all core courses are mandatory. If you desire that your child be exempted from a particular non-mandatory core course, please advise us using an RBCA COURSE CHANGE REQUEST form available in the Academy office. No student will be excused from a core course without written parental consent and principal approval. Although students will not be excused from mandatory core courses, they may be dismissed from any course for misbehavior. 4.11 Dropping ClassesA class may be dropped by student and parental request, subject to the principal’s approval, only within three weeks after the beginning of a semester. Appropriate paperwork must be processed in the Academy office. 4.12 Awards ProgramThe Academy ranks its students based on the Freshman Selection Index which multiplies the student’s weighted GPA times 500 and adds the students best SAT Verbal and SAT Math score, with an ACT conversion when needed. Each graduating class will provide a Valedictorian and a Salutatorian in recognition of excellence throughout their high school career based upon the above class rank. Points are awarded per semester with a 5 point scale for AP classes, a 4.5 scale for honors classes and a 4 point scale for regular classes. In addition, candidates for valedictorian and salutatorian must meet the criteria for an Honors Diploma. Several other awards will be presented at the end of each year to those meeting the established criteria. These awards include certificates for outstanding performance in certain classes or extracurricular activi ties, highest overall averages, recognition for outstanding Christian behavior, and ACSI Distinguished Christian High School Student awards. Donors have also funded special awards such as the Clinton L. Hunt Music Award, Outstanding Christian Athlete Award, John Witherspoon Award for Excellence in Government and Economics, RBCA Bach Musicianship Award, Award for Excellence in Math and Science, Walt Ruckel Spanish Award, I Dare You Leadership Award, USAR National Scholar/Athlete Award, Presidential Academic Fitness Awards, Yearbook Award, Outstanding Science/Engineering Project Award, Israel Award, Barnabas Award, Moses Award, Philemon Award, and the W.B. Grete Outstanding Student Awards. We encourage parents and friends to consider funding special awards for excellence in a category of your choice to make our awards program even better. 4.13 Graduation ProgramA baccalaureate/commencement and senior awards program is held in connection with a special seminar series conducted by a nationally-known speaker, previous speakers have included Dr. R.
