GRADES AND THE PROGRESS AND PROMOTION POLICY
Parents and students, please be aware that the districts progress and promotion policy has been modified. The progress and promotion policy now reads as follows: All students have to pass 3 of 4 quarters in Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Math. If students do not pass 3 of 4 quarters, students may be required to attend summer school. The new policy could affect 8th grade students ability to participate in the moving up ceremony and the students promotion to the next grade level. If you have any questions about the policy, please contact us at 428-6116.
