McCann Citizenship Scoring
Both learning and behavior are equally important. So much so that they each get a separate report in the standards-based grading environment. This ensures that the academic grade reflects only progress toward meeting the learning standards and not behaviors or work completion. The standard below illustrates the criteria for which student behaviors will be assessed to arrive at a “Citizenship Score.”

The elements of a McCann Good Citizen, which will also be covered, explained, and taught in Advisory courses are as follows:
- Respectful (treats members of the school community, and the school itself, respectfully)
- Hard-working (tries to do their best in whatever situation they are in)
- Punctual (on time to school and class, completes work according to timelines)
- Accountable (follows school rules, takes responsibility for their behavior/mistakes)
- Good communicator (speaks politely to others, recognizes audience, avoids profanity)
- Honesty (acts with integrity both as a person as well as with their work completion)
In addition to the Honor Roll, students will also be designated as “Good Citizens” and recognized in similar fashion. Students attaining a Citizenship Average of 3.5 or Higher will earn designation on the “Distinguished Citizens” list.
If a student receives a rating of “Limited” in their shop area, or in two or more academic areas, they will be ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities. Extracurricular activities are defined as any activities related to McCann Tech that are not part of the required school curriculum. These include, but are not limited to; sports, clubs, SkillsUSA, BPA, Cooperative Work placements, dances, and field trips of a non-educational nature (i.e. senior trip.
The Principal is in charge of extracurricular activities and athletics. In the case of severe violations of the code of conduct, or repeated poor citizenship outside the class or shop area or at a school function, (i.e. parking lot, hallways, bathrooms, cafeteria), the administration may determine a student to be ineligible to participate in extra-curricular activities due to demonstrating limited citizenship in the school building.
