This grade is recorded as the mark for the second or fourth quarter. This is a cumulative grade for the entire semester without considering a final test or project. Also included on this report is the result of the student's semester exam or project. The final semester grade is calculated using the second or fourth quarter mark and averaging into that grade any credit given for the semester exam or project. Final Examinations or a Semester Project Final examinations or a semester project are to be given in all academic courses.
Final examinations are to be given at the time they are scheduled.
Students who have not cleared all fines and returned all books for their class may take the final examination, but the teacher should not report their final grade until the student has met all obligations to the teacher. Only the marks given for the semester are recorded on the student's permanent record. Teachers may make additional contact with parents by telephone or in writing when student performance indicates the need for parent notification. Students whose course work is incomplete at the end of a semester will receive a failing grade unless prolonged illness is the cause. Credit for courses taken will not be granted, nor will report cards or transcripts of credit be issued, unless all financial obligations are met.
