In arriving at report card grades, teachers consider a combination of daily work, quizzes, weekly tests, finals, projects, and homework. Grades are determined according to the level of achievement in relation to grade level work. District Policy AP 5121(d) maintains that a student can earn no higher than a "C" for below grade level work.

Report cards are mailed to parents within 2 weeks of the end of each grading period. These dates are indicated on the school calendar contained in this handbook. Progress reports (deficiency notices) are mailed approximately halfway through each grading period. The purpose of these reports is to alert a parent that their student's progress is unsatisfactory and may result in failure or other unsatisfactory grade by report card time. Upon receipt of such a report, the parent should call the counselor or the teacher involved to arrange a conference. The following time line indicates report card and deficiency notice dates.
