A student who receives two Ds or one ​F in any academic subject on his/her report card will be placed on academic probation for one trimester. The principal will send a letter to the student’s ​parents informing them of this status. Academic probation restricts the student’s participation in school-sponsored extracurricular activities. If grades are not improved at the end of the probationary period, a student may be asked to withdraw from the school. Students in Grades 1 and 2 with more than one NI on their report card will also be placed on Academic Probation.  

Reten​tion

The decision t​o promote a student to the next grade or to retain him/her in the present grade shall be based upon a consideration of the overall welfare of the student, i.e. made by carefully weighing academic, emotional, and social factors. The principal, in consultation with the parents and faculty, shall make the final decision regarding retention

Tran​sfer

Students may be advised to transfer for grounds other than class or school discipline (e.g. academics, special needs). The following procedure is followed for transferr​​ing students whose needs cannot be met by the school:

• It has been determined (by the principal in consultation with the classroom teacher(s) and/or other education specialists) that other schools, programs, or agencies have better resources​​ to assist the student.

• Ongoing conf​​​erencing with the parents regarding the needs of the student and alternative options have taken place.

• The principal​, in consultation with the pastor, makes the final decision regarding the need for transfer.
