Grades are entered on student transcripts at the end of each semester.
Our courses that meet everyday will receive a grade at the conclusion of each quarter within the semester. GRADING OPTIONS All courses are graded A – F unless otherwise stated. Juniors and seniors may choose to take certain elective classes pass/fail; arrangements must be made with the counselor and teacher by the end of the 6th day of the grading period. Special requirements and restrictions apply.
Students need to check with their counselor. ADD/ DROP POLICY Forecasted classes cannot be changed. Course offerings and staffing decisions are based upon student forecasting. Choose courses carefully with the intent to commit to your schedule for the entire year. Students and guardians will be asked to sign student forecasting sheets to confirm their commitment to selected courses for the entire year.
Students may not change their schedule unless one of the following three problems exist: 1) The student has been assigned the wrong level of a course, 2) The student has an incomplete schedule or unscheduled block, 3) The student is missing a core class. Classes dropped after the 10th day of the semester will be recorded on a student’s transcript as a “WF”. See your counselor for more details. INCOMPLETE GRADES Teachers may initiate an Incomplete Contract with a student for extenuating circumstances, i. prolonged illness, injury or family emergency.
Incomplete contracts are not to be used to provide students additional time to improve grades or to complete missing homework, tests and quizzes due to poor attendance or lack of effort prior to the grading period. Students have until the end of the 2nd week following the grading period to complete the work required under an Incomplete Contract. The teacher or student may appeal this time limit by contacting the student’s Associate Principal.
