Delhi High allows students to receive credit for educational work that is not part of the schedule of classes for a particular year. Students receive credit for being a teacher assistant (3 units) each semester they work as a teacher assistant. Grades for these activities appear on a student’s report card for each semester a student participates in one of these programs, but these grades are not computed in a student’s total or state mark-point average.

Each teacher specifies in the printed course expectations the course grading policy. This policy includes the proportion of the grade, which will be influenced by class participation. Class participation may include coming to class with materials, promptness to class, preparation for class by homework, attentiveness, attendance, as well as verbal participation.

Students may register to assist teachers and office personnel as teacher assistants. A student may have no more than one teacher assistantship at any time. Teachers with assistants are responsible for grading their T.A.’s. T.A.’s receives a grade of pass or fail.
