Deficiency NoticesApproximately four weeks before the end of the grading period (1st quarter, 1st semester, 3rd quarter, 2nd semester), if a student is earning a C- or below her teacher will notify her parents/guardians by email and provide a copy to her Academic Advisor. This provides the opportunity for the parents/guardians, teacher and advisor to work with the student so she can improve her achievement before the end of the grading period.
FailuresIf an “F” is earned, the teacher must phone and email the parents/guardians before the report card is issued.
All semester “Fs” must be made up before a student may graduate. If a student receives an F, she must re-take the same course at SJHS or from a Third-Party Provider. The new grade is added to the student’s transcript and is calculated into her SJHS GPA. UC and CSU admissions only consider the higher grade in their GPA calculation.
Incomplete Work at Semester-EndWhen a student has excessive absences or other justifiable reasons for not completing her work during a semester, she needs to make up the work within 2 weeks of the semester completion. She will be given a semester grade that reflects the incomplete work, which may be a “D” or “F”. However, after the students makes up the work (within 2 weeks), the teacher will do a grade change.
