Foster’s school year is divided into two semesters of 18 weeks (90 school days) each. Final grades and credit are given at the end of each semester. These are posted on the student’s transcript and determine his/her grade point average (GPA). In addition, a progress report is issued approximately every five weeks to indicate the student’s progress toward earning credit in each course.
