Grades of PASS may be given in Physical Education, Community Service and Teacher’s Assistant courses. All other courses assign letter grades of A, B, C, D, or F. Semester grades of Pass, A, B, C, or D earn 5 credits. Grades of F do not carry credit.
Failing grades: A failing grade in any subject required for graduation must be made up as soon as is practical for the student and the school. A student will not receive credit for a course in which he receives a failing grade.
Incomplete Grades: Incomplete grades must be made up within nine weeks (the following school quarter). The "Incomplete" grade becomes an "F" grade if not removed within this time limit. The student is responsible for taking action to make up an incomplete grade within the nine-week period.
Progress Reports: Progress Report Notices are mailed home in the middle of each quarter to those students whose work indicates special notice. These notices should assist the student in correcting deficiencies before the end of the marking period.
Quarter Grades: Report Cards are mailed home in the middle of each semester (about the 10th week of the semester.) These grades are formal reports on student progress. They are not permanent grades and do not carry any credit. They are not part of permanent student records.
Semester Grades: Semester Report Cards are mailed home about three weeks after the end of each semester. These grades carry final credit and are considered permanent grades. These grades become part of the official school record (transcript) of each student.
