Marking period and final grades are communicated as letter grades.  The corresponding quality point for each letter grade is used to compute a students’ final grade in each subject.

An incomplete (I) may be changed to a failure unless work is completed within two weeks of issued quarterly reports.

A student progress report will be issued in the middle of the quarter by the classroom teacher to students who are in danger of failing a subject. Report cards will be issued to students at the end of each nine-week period through the Skyward Parent Portal. Assistance to the parent portal is available by contacting the school office. For students whose work is unsatisfactory, we recommend a parent-teacher conference. Staff members are available for conference by appointment through contact with the teacher.

This table  is used to determine a student's final grade based on averaged quality points.  

 

Final Grades for a course for the year are calculated as follows: 

Add the quality points for the grades recieved in each quarter, then divide by four. The final average will be reflected as a letter grade per the chart above.

Please contact the teacher if you feel your child is in danger of failing a course for the year.
