Board of Education Approves Weighted Grading System Change
January 19, 2020
On Wednesday, January, 15 the Board of Education approved amendments to policy IKA-R-1 dealing with the Weighted Grading System. At Nodaway-Holt R-VII School District, we prepare our graduates for college, career and citizenship. Starting with the graduating class of 2020, Nodaway-Holt will adopt the laude system to recognize graduates for their success in rigorous programs instead of the traditional class rank, Valedictorian, and Salutatorian system. The rationale for this change was to adopt a form of recognition that most colleges and universities use to acknowledge their most successful students at graduation. Additionally, we wanted to provide recognition to more of our outstanding seniors than the Valedictorian and Salutatorian concept allowed. For more information please click the link below.
