8. Study habits & grades
Students’ work ethic/study habits will be kept track of by their teacher. Homework, work effort, and missing/late assignments will all be taken into account to determine a student’s work/study habits grade on the quarterly report card.
In a nine-week’s period:
- 0-5 occurrences in any of these categories will result in an S on the report card
- 6-9 occurrences in any of these categories will result in an N on the report card
-9 or more occurrences in any of these categories will result in a U on the report card
More than 5 occurrences in the Quarter will make a student ineligible to receive Honor Roll or Principal’s List award at the end of the year.
If your child earns a C or below in a specialist class, he or she will be ineligible for academic awards at the end of the year. DN
