Academic Requirements
Specific learning objectives have been established
into three levels:
-
ESSENTIAL OBJECTIVES: Students must successfully
complete these to advance to the next grade.
-
EXPECTED OBJECTIVES: Students are expected to successfully
complete these during the course.
-
EXTENDED OBJECTIVES: Students will encounter these
objectives as extensions of the curriculum and as more challenging content
for the student.
Beginning with the 1997-98 term, students will get an "I"
(incomplete) or an "F" (failing) unless and until that student has demonstrated
successful compoletion of all "essential" level objectives taught during
a given grading period. Once a student masters the essential objectives,
his/her grade will be awarded as it has been historically -- based on a
numeric average derived from test scores, essay scores, homework, class
participation, etc. If, at the completion of the 180 day regular
school term, an "I" grade is still posted for any one of the four grading
periods, the final grade will be an "I". Grades of "I" are converted
to the appropriate grade once the essential objectives are successfully
completed or to an "F" if the objectives are not completed by the end of
summer school. After-school (extended day) and summer (extended year)
programs will be offered for all students in need of academic assistance.
