Letter grades are issues for all academic core courses.
The only exception to this practice is first quarter sixth graders whose parents will be scheduled for parent conferences in lieu of first quarter grades. Grade point averages for determining probation are computed on the basis of semester grades. Grade point averages for Honor Roll and the Middle School Scholars Ceremony are determined on the basis of the first through third quarter grades. Deficiency Reports will be issues in the middle of every quarter for all students earning a grade of C- or below, or for students whose performance has shown marked or dramatic decline within that quarter. Deficiency grades are not recorded as part of the permanent academic record.
