Grading and Retention Guidelines during Distance Learning:

Grades 9-12

• Credits required for graduation: 50 required.
• Credit based: Passed classes earn credits toward graduation. (1 credit earned per semester per class).
• It’s the teacher’s discretion on what a passing percentage is. These parameters are set at the beginning of the class. It is the student’s responsibility to know and understand these parameters and ask for clarification if needed.
• If you fail a class, there are credit recovery opportunities available during the academic year, as well as over the summer. Please contact your school counselor for further information and registration.

Grades 7-8

• No grade of less than 50% will be considered passing. Teachers have the right to have a higher D- percentage.
• If a student fails 5 or more core classes within the 20-21 school year, they will be reviewed for retention.
• All decisions will be made by staff and administration regarding retention and class repeats. All decisions are final.
