In the case of an emergency, Custer Jr/Sr High School staff will be assigned to assist students with a disability to ensure that they are able to get to safety and be with their class at the appropriately assigned area. In order to facilitate participation, accommodations will be made on an individual basis. Each disability is unique; the reasonable accommodations principal should be applied on a case by case basis for both students and staff.
Class rank is determined by the total number of grade points a student earns during their years at Custer High School. (Example: A student has 7 classes during a semester and two of those classes are Honors classes. The student earns straight A’s for the semester. The student’s total points for that semester would be 30. 5 classes x A=4 is 20 points, and 2 classes x A=5 is 10 points, for a total of 30 points.) Refer to which classes receive higher grade points.
