Promotion And Retention Policy

The decision to promote a student to the next grade or to retain him or her in the present grade shall be based upon a consideration of the overall welfare of the student, i.e., made by carefully weighting academic, emotional and social factors.  Parents can assume their child will be promoted unless the alternative of retention has been discussed during the school year.  The principal, in consultation with the parents and faculty, shall make the final decision regarding retention.

In the case of a pupil with a severe learning problem, it may be necessary to recognize that the parochial school is not equipped to meet the needs of every pupil and therefore, a recommended transfer might be necessary.
