Grade cards and mid-term academic
progress reports.

Students receive grade reports at the end of each of the four quarters. These reports are given to the student as soon as possible after the grading period ends, except for the last grading period when the final grade report will be mailed. Academic Progress Reports are distributed in the middle of each grading period to parents of students who need some type of special attention. These reports do not necessarily mean that a student is failing, but a deficiency is noted which needs correction. If the correction is not made, the student could possibly fail for the period.

GRADING POLICY
The following grade scale will be used by all teachers in figuring student grades:

 

Computation of final grade average: In figuring final grades the following is used:
Quarter grading: Average of all work for quarter.
Semester grading: Three grades (two quarter grades and one exam).
*All year long courses will be graded / credit given on a semester basis .
Course grading: In blocked classes, students will be given 2 semester grades (value doubled) and two exams


For all “AP” or “Honor” courses, a .05 will be added to the GPA of those students who complete those courses with a final grade of “C” or better and complete the AP Exam. All students who take an “AP” course will be required to take the “AP” exam for that course. The Board of Education will pay half of the cost, the student will pay half.

ALL CLASSES REQUIRE 5 POINTS TO RECEIVE CREDIT; SEMESTER CLASSES REQUIRE 2.5 POINTS.

An exception to the above is the policy that in year courses, an “F” average for the second semester means a grade of “F” for the course. Every effort shall be made to notify parents as this situation develops, but the responsibility still belongs to each student. At least 2 points must be earned second semester. Quarter/Semester incompletes must be completed by the end of the 4th week after the incomplete period ends. Failure to do so will result in an “F” for the incomplete grade.
