Academic Probation

Students may be placed on academic probation, at the discretion of teachers, athletic director, and/or the principal.  While on probation, students may not participate in extracurricular activities. 

Promotion

Promotion of students depends on a variety of factors.  In alignment with the school's philosophy of educating the whole child, teachers review academic work, effort, and study/work habits in considering promotion and retention.

​​Retention

Retention is a major decision that looks at the needs of each individual child.  Grades are not the sole determination for retention. Factors such as age, maturity, overall achievement, and standardized longitudinal data must also be considered.

Teachers will discuss the possibility of retention during the Trimester 2 conference if warranted.  Parents and teachers must openly discuss options, looking toward the best choice to meet the child's needs.  The final determination to retain a student is the responsibility of the principal.
