Spring 2020 Grading

There are factors outside of the control of the school system with learning being moved off site; therefore, the aim is that student grades are not lowered as a result of Remote Learning.
Grades for Spring 2020 semester will be reported on a Pass/Incomplete basis.
- There will be no Final Exams for the Spring 2020 semester.
Students who are unable to complete or decide not to complete the instructional remote learning activities in a timely fashion will be issued an incomplete.
- Students with an incomplete will be given time to make up work when we return to back to regular in-person school.
- If work is not made up,the student will be required to retake the class.
The only courses that grades will be given are the AP courses due to these courses having weighted grades.
- The students grade cannot decrease from the current grade but if work is not completed, the course could be marked as incomplete.
- Students can improve grades as they demonstrate proficiency/mastery/attainment of prior and future skills work
