PROGRESS REPORTING

Interims and report cards are a means to report a student’s progress throughout the school year.  In addition, parents are encouraged to contact their child’s team of teachers at any time.

GRADE AVERAGES

1. In averaging grades, an A is to count four points, B is to count three points, C is to count two points, D is to count one point, and F is zero.

2. Semester averages will not be recorded on progress reports.  Each nine-week grade recorded on the report cards shall be considered separate in value when averaged with other nine-week grades and/or exams. 

3. When percentages are used to determine grades, the following are applicable:

A = 90 - 100

B = 80-89

C = 70 - 79

D = 60-69

F = 59 and below

4.  Student who quits – The student who is earning an “F” during 3rd and/or 4th quarter, after earning anywhere from an “A” to a “C” average for quarter 1 and 2, will receive a letter in the mail from their guidance counselor.  It is possible for a student to fail a course if they earn Fs for quarter 3 and quarter 4, even if they have passed the first two quarters of the class.
