A proficient score on the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) is required as part of the student’s graduation requirements. The ISAT evaluates a student’s knowledge and skills in four areas: reading, math, language usage, and science. Students who do not achieve proficient scores will retake the test(s) until passed. Seniors must apply for an alternate route to graduation if unable to pass the ISAT. See the school counselor for this option.
The following ISAT scores are required for graduation:
Reading 220
Math 238
Language 226
Science 219 (Graduating Class of 2013 and beyond)
The NCAA Eligibility Center has specific guidelines for awarding academic credit. It is highly recommended students apply to the NCAA Eligibility Center at the end of their junior year. Parents of students and/or students planning to attend a post secondary institution under the condition of NCAA should see required credit information from the school counselor and the college/university of interest. Student athletes who plan to compete beyond high school are encouraged to review the section entitled College Bound Student Athletes that can be found at eligibilitycenter.org
HAZING (INITITATION)/HARRASMENT/BULLYING
The Pocatello/Chubbuck School District strives to maintain an educational environment that fosters mutual student, teach, administrator, and employee respect as well as promote a safe and productive learning environment. The district believes that discrimination, harassment, and/or bullying in any form constitute misconduct that undermines the goal of the educational relationship.
The district prohibits and will not tolerate harassment, discrimination, and or/bullying in the school district’s educational working environment that is sexual, racial, or religious in nature or is related to anyone’s gender, national origin, age, military status, sexual orientation, or disability. The district has very specific policies regarding any form of malicious harassment, hostile environment, quid pro quo sexual harassment, discrimination, and/or bullying with applicable procedures and disciplinary actions up to and including expulsion.
Hazing and/or various types of initiation may be construed and determined as a form of malicious harassment, hostile environment and/or quid pro quo sexual harassment and may make an offender subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion. Incidents of this type are evaluated based upon the surrounding circumstances, nature of the behavior, the relationships between the parties involved, and the context in which the incident occurred.
Initiation is not permitted and will not be tolerated. See the district’s zero tolerance policy in the Student Discipline/Attendance Handbook. See also Policy #8150/7124 (Prohibition of Harassment Intimidation Bullying Hazing or Initiation).
HEALTH SERVICES
Students with health issues should contact the counseling department. A nurse may be contacted about health related matters.
