Promotion Retention Information

Working Towards Promotion

Promotion / Retention:
Promotion and retention are covered by Board Policy (JC). General academic achievement and social maturity are used as guides for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. The combined views of the teachers, principals, counselors, and parents are used in determining promotion of any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student.

Grading System:
The following grading system by the School Board in 1995

KEY TO GRADING SYSTEM
A-Superior C- Average F- Failing
B-Above Average D- Passing Inc.- Incomplete

Any Student receiving an "F" for a semester in a core class will be required to attend summer school.

Report Cards:
Report cards are issued every nine weeks. They are to be taken home to your parents. Parents and students should discuss these reports to plan for adjustments in study time and work habits, which might be necessary. Grades will be reported in letter grades.

Progress Reports:
We believe that parents are entitled to know the progress of their children at school. Reports, along with a parent/teacher conference, give the parent an opportunity to work with the teacher to encourage student potential and will be sent home every two weeks.
