Grading Policy

The school year is divided into two semesters, each of which is divided into two quarters. 1st and 3rd quarter grades are considered progress report grades. Second and fourth quarter grades are considered semester grades, thus becoming part of a student’s permanent record. Each semester class ends with a final examination taken during finals

Notification of Grades

Parents of students who are to receive an "F" grade will receive proper notification by the teacher. Notification will include:

• The teacher’s intent to give the student an "F"
  
• That such grade will be included in the computation of the grade point average.
  
• The parent’s right to request a conference with the teacher to discuss the implications of the "F"

Students Are Not Permitted To Bring Visitors On Campus.

Pass/Fail

Pass/Fail grades are given for Sports Team Participation (PE Athletics). Pass/Fail grades are not acceptable for college admissions requirements and are not offered in academic classes. The only exception to this is when a teacher’s class policy allows a pass/fail option.

A PASS is not computed into a student’s GPA. A Fail is computed into a student’s GPA. A PASS in an academic class signifies mastery of course material.
