Students earn 60 credits each year. 

• 30 credits in the Fall 

• 30 credits in the Spring. 

80 hours of Blast or Scholars = 5 credits 

Intervention classes count for 10 credits total - Success English, Elective, Intensive Math Support, Academic Support and Academic Success etc. 

Minimum Grade Requirements: All students will earn 50 out of the 60 credits each year. Students may not fail the same class twice. Students have a 10 credit cushion per year. Credits are calculated by semester but reviewed quarterly to identify students in need of assistance. 

Minimum attendance requirement: 85% of a 180-day instructional year. (This would allow 26 full absence days, either excused or unexcused.) A review committee would be available to students who may have extenuating circumstances for excused absences. 

Promotional Exercises: Only students who have met promotional requirements by the end of the school year would be eligible to participate in promotional exercises. An exception would be extreme infractions of discipline.

Summer School: After the 10 credit cushion is calculated, students who are 10-15 credits deficient have the opportunity to attend Summer School to earn a Max of 5 credits. If students do not attend, do not complete the summer program, and/or are still 10 credits deficient after summer school will be enrolled in an intervention course in the next school year.  Those students are eligible to make up to 10 credits per year.  For students that are 15 credits deficient, then a CAL referral should be completed. Summer School typically starts the week after school gets out. 

Center for Academic Learning (CAL): CAL will only accept referrals for students who are 15 credits or more deficient. CAL does not take 6th-grade students. Students who are 20 credits deficient for the whole year should be referred to CAL. A CAL referral will be made if a student still deficient in credits from the previous school year continues to fail in the FALL semester. The first referral window will be in October when the first progress reports come out. Eighth-grade students will be the first to be reviewed, with the goal of having them come back the second semester.
