Academics

6th grade receives letter grades.

7th/8th grade are given numeric grades.

Numeric grades will be based on a 10 point grading scale.                                                                                  A 100-90   B 89-80   C 79-70   D 69-60   F 59-0        

Grades are recorded by the teacher in JPAMS. These grades are averaged using weighted grade categories.

At any point throughout the year, grades can be viewed through our Student Progress Center. Parents and students can view student schedules, attendance, report cards, current averages, and individual activity grades here.

Student ID numbers and PSN’s are mailed. Once you have received this information, parents should go online to Student Progress Center, and register as a new user; this prompts you to create a user name and password. 

Honor Roll is based on quality points. The student’s overall grade point average (GPA) for the quarter must be a 3.0 or higher. Additionally, the student must not have any D’s or F’s. Students who achieve honor roll will be invited to a reward event during the school day. (i.e. Honor Roll Sock Hop)

Parents need to login to the online Student Progress Center to access interims and to remain updated with their child’s academics. 

Report Cards are sent home on the Thursday following the end of the quarter. Fourth nine weeks report cards are mailed home. All numerical grades are rounded to the nearest whole number. 

Parent/Teacher Conferences are opportunities to discuss your child’s progress. If you feel a conference is needed, please contact the teacher and set up a mutually agreed time.

Please make sure that you have had a conference with your child’s teacher before bringing your concerns to an administrator.

Scheduling is handled by the administrative team. Elective requests are accepted in the spring of the previous school year.

Students are not guaranteed a requested elective. Elective changes will not be made for students that did not turn in their completed elective form. Schedules are assigned in a manner that balances out class sizes. Personality conflicts WILL NOT be considered as a reason for a schedule change. Parents MUST meet with teachers to attempt to resolve conflicts. New students may require a schedule change upon receipt of information from their previous school. 

Students may be required to serve either a lunch or afterschool academic assistance if he or she misses an excessive amount of homework or classwork. Teachers administering academic assistance will require students to study and work on assignments. Refusal to attend academic assistance will result in an administrative consequence.

State testing occurs in the spring.  Scores are used to determine if a 6th, 7th or 8th grade student needs intervention in the form of Fast ForWord, Math Skills or Study Skills.
