• Regular Course Work Grades and Grading System - The school year is divided into two semesters of three six-week periods each. Report cards are issued about 5-6 days following the close of each grading period.  At the end of the third week in each grading period, each teacher will submit to the office a list of students failing that teacher’s classes on the date of notice. Teachers will also prepare a failure report for each listed student, indicating time periods for parental conference with the teacher, and this report will be sent to the parents either with the student or via the mail/e-mail in a timely manner. The report must be signed by a parent and returned to the school.  Students are required to return signed progress reports and report cards.

    The following will show how grades are to be weighted:

    • Test grades:40%, 2 or more
    • Class work/Homework: 40%, 10-20 items
    • Quizzes/Projects: 20%, 2 or more

     

  • AP Course Work Grades and Grading System - The school year is divided into two semesters of three six-week periods each. Report cards are issued about 5-6 days following the close of each grading period.  At the end of the third week in each grading period, each teacher will submit to the office a list of students failing that teacher’s classes on the date of notice.

    Students may also move from an advanced class to a non-advanced section of the same course, if one exists, at the end of the first grading period, second grading period, or at the end of the first semester. Students are allowed to leave mid-grading period, however extra points(1.1) are awarded only to complete grading period cycle.

    When a student in an advanced class earns a grade below 70 for the first grading period, second grading period, the third grading period, or the first semester, the student’s program will be evaluated by the AP Committee.

    Students who do not complete the Pre-AP/AP projects will be removed from the AP courses.

    Additional guidelines will be provided in the AP classes.

    No late work will be taken in an AP course.
