Students in grades 5 and 8 need to demonstrate that they are meeting grade-level standards in reading, writing and math by this spring. Or, it will be highly recommended that they attend summer school.

 

Students in grades 5 and 8 who are highly recommended for summer school, but whose families choose not to take advantage of this opportunity, will have interventions that may include an alternate schedule for at least a portion of the day in grades 6 and 9.

 

This is part of the District's Progress and Promotion policy 2421. All students are expected to make progress at every grade level and meet specific standards in reading, writing and math by the end of elementary and middle school as a condition of regular promotion to the next level of schooling. School staff, parent(s)/ guardian(s) will interact as partners to enhance student success.

 

Students in the class of 2008 and beyond need to demonstrate that they have met District and state standards in order to graduate. The intent of the Progress and Promotion policy is to prepare students along the way, keep families informed of their child's progress and provide interventions at each grade level.

 

The transitions between elementary and middle school, and middle school and high school are important checkpoints for progress. Our goal is to work closely with students and their families so that our students succeed in every grade level and as they move from elementary to middle to high school and beyond.
