Here are some reminders for you on our school campus

      Medication

Although it is recommended that medication be given at home, we understand that it is not always possible to do so. In this case, parents must obtain a medication form from the school nurse and have it completed by your child’s physician. Also, medication must be in the original bottle from the pharmacy.

Visitors

All visitors must check in through the office.

              Attendance

When your child is absent, please call in to the office. 

2024-2025

• Academic Integrity Statement

• To be college-, career-, and community-ready, students in the Deer Valley Unified School District are expected to demonstrate academic integrity. Academic integrity is all about being honest and fair in your schoolwork. It means doing work that is entirely your own and giving credit to others (including generative Artificial Intelligence tools) through proper citation when you use their ideas or words.
  If you have questions about the guidelines for academic integrity, you should discuss them with your teacher.

•  

• Academic Dishonesty Statement

• Academic dishonesty refers to any action that compromises the integrity of academic work or evaluation processes. This includes but is not limited to:  

  • Copying or stealing another person’s work or data (plagiarism);  

  • Allowing another person to copy one’s work;  

  • Doing another person’s classwork;  

  • Creating more than one copy of one’s work for distribution;  

  • Providing another person with the answers on tests or quizzes;   

  • Noncompliance with teachers’ test-taking procedures;

  • Unauthorized copying or development of software; and

  • Unauthorized use of generative Artificial Intelligence.

• Consequences for instances of academic dishonesty range from a conference and loss of credit (student will be given another opportunity to show mastery of learning) up to a 5-day suspension and loss of credit.

Artificial Intelligence

In the Deer Valley Unified School District, we are committed to providing our students with the best possible education while ensuring their safety, privacy, and well-being. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance learning experiences, teachers may incorporate generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the classroom for students. 

Students must adhere to the specific guidelines provided in the assignment details. If no guidance around the use of generative AI is provided, students should follow the “restrictive” level (see chart). Teachers should direct students to contact their teacher before submitting classwork if the student is unsure if the tool or website they are using is permitted on a specific assignment.

Grade Scales (include the appropriate grade scales)

Kindergarten Grade Scale

Students in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades will receive marks for their proficiency toward the grade level standards using the following scale.

4 = Applies grade level skills with greater depth or complexity

3 = Demonstrates grade level proficiency 

2 = Approaches grade level proficiency 

1 = Displays a significant lack of grade level proficiency

1st-2nd Grade Grade Scale

Students in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades will receive marks for their proficiency toward the grade level standards using the following scale.

4 = Applies grade level skills with greater depth or complexity

3 = Demonstrates grade level proficiency 

2 = Approaches grade level proficiency 

1 = Displays a significant lack of grade level proficiency 

Students in 1st and 2nd grades will receive marks for their overall performance in each course of study using the following letter grade scale.

E = Excellent )

S = Satisfactory 

N = Needs Improvement  

U = Underperforming 

3-12 Grade Scale

Students in 3rd through 12th grades will receive marks for their proficiency toward the grade level standards using the following scale.

4 = Highly Proficient

3 = Proficient

2 = Partially Proficient

1 = Minimally Proficient

Students in 3rd through 12th grades will receive marks for their overall performance in each course of study using the following letter grade scale.

A =  90-100% 

B =  80-89%

C =  70-79%

D =  60-69%

F =   0-59%

Grades of “D” and above are passing marks.  A course grade of “F” indicates that the student has failed the course. 

For 9th-12th grade levels, no course credit will be awarded for a failing course grade. 

Categories (1st-12th Grades Only)

All grade entries in the gradebook will be attributed to one of the following categories.

ASSESSMENT: This category includes all items used to measure a student’s 

proficiency toward the learning standards once the student has had sufficient

practice and at a specified point in time. This category can include summative tests, performance assessments, reports, unit or module assessments, quizzes, long-term projects, short-term projects, presentations, capstone projects, research papers, and lab reports. 

COURSEWORK: This category includes formative work that provides students with the opportunity to learn content and skills and to receive feedback on their learning.  Coursework is assigned to provide meaningful, independent practice, reinforce learning targets, and extend learning. This category can include in-class assignments, exit tickets, checks-for-understanding, and daily activities.

PRACTICE:  This category includes formative student work that a student completes while in the process of learning specific skills.  Student work that is done inside and outside of the classroom, such as classwork and homework, falls into this category. 

Category Weights (3rd-12th Grades Only)

Each category will be weighted as follows:

ASSESSMENT CATEGORY 80%

COURSEWORK CATEGORY 20%

PRACTICE CATEGORY   0%

Missing Work (3rd-12th grades)

An assignment is considered missing work when it is not submitted by the due date. 

Missing work will be treated as such:

• The assignment will be marked with the “Missing” special code in the gradebook

• A zero (“0”) will be entered as the score for the assignment in the gradebook 

• No Evidence (NE) will be entered for the standards attached to the assignment

Late Work

An assignment is considered late work when the assignment is not submitted by the due date that was established but is submitted within the parameters listed below. 

For Late Work to be accepted, students must meet the following parameters:

• Assignment is not due within the class period

• Assignment is not a timed activity (such as a Quick-Write Essay)

• Assignment is not a Long-Term assignment (over multiple weeks)

• Assignment is turned in within the following time frame

K-2 Grades: By the end of the marking period

3-8 Grades: Within 5 school days after the end of the unit

9-12 Grades: By the end of the unit

Reassessment

Retakes are allowed for assessments for full credit, if reperformance opportunities (another assessment on the same learning target later in the marking period as part of the instructional cycle) will not be available during the marking period or in addition to reperformance opportunities during the marking period.  

To earn a retake opportunity, a student must complete all of the following:

• Complete all formative coursework related to the content/skill assessed

• Consult with the teacher

• Submit a reassessment plan or application, if required by the teacher

A  reassessment plan must be scheduled within the following time frames:

• K-2nd Grades: Until the week before the end of the marking period

• 3rd-8th Grades: Within 10 school days of receiving the assessment score

• 9-12th Grades: Within 5 school days of receiving the assessment score. The student must communicate with the teacher to create a reassessment plan.
