Grade Changes Policy
Report cards are issued four times each year, They are issued to enable the home and the student to be informed of the student's progress.
The following terms are used in describing grades.
A Superior quality of work
B Above average work
C Average work
D Passing but poor quality
F Failure (no credit given)
NG Student has a passing grade, but it will not be given until attendance issues have been resolved by making up detentions or cleared by an administrator within two weeks from the end of the semester.
I Incomplete (can change to passing grade if made up within two weeks from the end of the semester, unless falling under university concurrent enrollment classification)
(Typically teachers do not give I grades for the 4th quarter.)
Extenuating circumstances will be handled on a case by case basis.
Once a teacher assigns a grade to a student, that grade can only be changed by the teacher giving the grade. An administrator does not recommend or become involved with grade changes in any way. He or She will direct inquires to the teacher giving the grade.
An "incomplete" or "I" grade may (1) be requested by the student if illness or other extenuating circumstance arise which will prevent him/her from completing the required course work or (2) be given in a performance-based class by the instructor if the student has not yet demonstrated mastery. The "I" grade may be given for purpose of remediation only, not for postponement or evasion of a failing grade. Regardless of reason, students who retake a class should understand that the previous grade received for the class retaken remains on their transcript and is unaffected by the new grade in the class retaken.
