The semester grade appears on the report card and is the only grade recorded on the student's permanent record. The quarter grades indicate the progress of the student at the midpoint in the semester.
Computing of Quarter & Semester Grades
Grades are computed on a semester basis. Quarter grades are issued on the date ending the quarter. This grade is emailed out at the end of Quarter 1 and 3 as a "progress report" and does not appear on the official transcripts. Semester grades are the final grade at the end of each semester and appear on the official transcript.
Grade change policy
A student requesting a change in his grade is required to first see the instructor. If he/she feels intervention is necessary, he/she to submit a formal request to the Assistant Principal of Curriculum and Instruction within two weeks of the date that grades were released to students. Documentation should include any discrepancies in grades, corrected tests, quizzes, homework, essays, etc., and a written statement as to why he feels a grade change is necessary. The student will be notified in writing as to the outcome after meeting with the instructor and the Assistant Principal of Curriculum and Instruction.
Grade point average
Grade points are awarded according to a four-point scale: A= 4 points; B = 3 points; C = 2 points; D = 1 point; F = 0 points. When calculating an applicant's grade point average, the University of California, the California State University, and most institutions of higher learning award an extra grade point for an A, B, or C grade in approved Advanced Placement and honors courses.
