STUDENTS INTERESTED IN REPEATING A YEAR
Should a student be interested in repeating a grade level during their high school year, he or she will
need to take the following steps in order to be considered.
1. A written letter of request including reasoning for the change in status from parent/guardian.
2. Request their coach to submit a letter of recommendation for the change in status.
3. Meet with the Director of Academics.
STUDENTS EVALUATION
Grades are an indication of a student’s academic performance. Grades are related to expectations of
the instructor and the performances of other students. Good grades do not come automatically. Good
grades require hard work and dedication on the part of the students, as well as efficient time
management. Students will only be granted credit for grade of 60 or above. Those students who earn
between 59 and below have not sufficiently mastered the class to earn credit. The following grade
definitions apply to each grade level:
90 – 100 A
80 – 89 B
70 – 79 C
60 – 69 D (Lowest Passing Grade)
59 and Below F
(Note: Even though credit is awarded for a “D” in a particular class, math classes and foreign
language classes will still require a strong “C” to advance to the next level.)
GRADE REPORTING
Reports to parents about student progress are e-mailed to parents at least four times per year, at
the conclusion of each grading period. Report cards are sent in PDF format and may be opened
and printed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have this program currently installed on
your computer, you may go to the following website for a free download of Adobe Reader:
www.adobe.com/downloads/. Report cards will be e-mailed to the e-mail address that you
provide on your Registration Update Form. We will continue to send report cards via US mail to
any parent who does not have an e-mail address.
