Academic Policies

Academic Grades 

At the beginning of each course, the teacher will inform the students of class policies and grading expectations. This is done via a disclosure statement which is reviewed and signed by the student and parent.  

Citizenship Grades

In addition to academic grades, citizenship grades are given by each teacher.  The citizenship grade is printed on the report card and is also used to determine extra curricular eligibility.
