• Complete all assignments to the teacher's satisfaction with an overall course average of 61% or higher.
• AND
• Pass the proctored final exam with a score of 61% or higher.

Dual Credit

RMCHS will grant high school course credit for college courses earned at approved accredited colleges. RMCHS will grant a one year high school course (two semester credits) for each semester college course completed, regardless of the number of credit hours the semester college course is worth. For example, a student who completes English 101--a one semester course worth three college credit hours--would earn one year's worth of high school English, or two semester credits.

Proctors
All final exams, including the ISAT, must be proctored (supervised) by an approved proctor. An approved proctor must meet the following criteria:

• Must be a responsible adult older than 21 who is not related to the student.
• The proctor must complete a Proctor Verification Form and fax it to Richard McKenna Charter High School (208-580-2450). The proctor must also send a copy of their driver's license to the office.
• Once the office verifies the information and approves the proctor, the proctor will be emailed login information.
• (Proctors who violate the terms outlined in the Proctor Verification Form are removed from the approved proctor list.)

• A public setting like a library or school.
• At an approved testing center.
• Students are never to be proctored using their own computer.
  

ISAT

All 10th grade students, as well as 11th or 12th grade students who are not proficient, are required to take the ISAT exams.

• Students seeking a diploma through Richard McKenna Charter High School must test with RMCHS.
• Local Diploma students must test with their local high school.
• Non-Diploma Bound Home School students are not required to take the ISAT exams.

If a RMCHS diploma seeking student refuses to take the ISAT, they will be reclassified as a Non-Diploma Bound Home School student.

Special Education
Richard McKenna Charter High School provides a free and appropriate public education for all children with disabilities in a variety of specially designed programs.  Special Education and related services are available for persons who qualify.  Parents, guardians and educators of students attending RMCHS can refer a student who may be eligible for services and not currently receiving services by contacting the student's teacher, the school counselor, or the school principal. The referrals will be made to the Special Education Director for further evaluation.

Course Extensions
If students do not complete the course work by the course deadline, they may purchase a two week extension for $50. RMCHS (Richard McKenna Charter High School) will grant the extension after it receives the check. Students may purchase as many two week extensions as they desire. (DOES NOT APPLY TO SUMMER SCHOOL COURSES.)

Dropped Classes

Students who do not complete any assignments in two weeks will be automatically dropped from the course.

Missed Assignments

Any assignments that are not completed or resubmitted within five days after the due date automatically receive permanent zeros.

Inappropriate, Obscene, or Pornographic Communication
If a student uses communication with the teacher and/or students that is determined by the teacher or RMCHS administration to be inappropriate, obscene or pornographic, the student will be immediately dropped from the course. In some cases, legal action may also be taken. Any possibilities for re-admittance must be discussed with the principal, parents and student.

Plagiarism (Copying information without providing the source)
Plagiarism in any form is not tolerated and may lead to course and/or school expulsion.

Cheating
Cheating in any form is not tolerated and may lead to course and/or school expulsion.

Credit Transfer
It is up to the student to find out which RMCHS courses will be accepted by their local high school as core credit and which will be accepted as elective credit. RMCHS is accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. Association members are required to accept credits from other members; however, it is still a good idea to make sure how many and which credits a school will accept.
