Honor Roll
Academic Accolades
Principal's Award and Honor Roll are calculated every quarter when report cards come out. Principal's Award laurels can go to students in grades 1-5 that show outstanding achievement and/or outstanding effort. The "Honor Roll" distinction is for grades 4,5,6,7, & 8 and includes two all 'A' categories as well as an 'A and B' category.
The Principal's Award is attained by students in Grades 3-4-5 who meet the following criteria:
~ Outstanding Student Comment in the Effort Area but do not make the Honor Roll.
One of three Honor Roll levels is attained by students in Grades 4-5-6-7- 8 who meet the following criteria:
Highest Honors ~ "A" in all core subjects and "O"or "S+" in all specials.
High Honors ~ "A" in all core subjects and "O" or "S" in all specials.
Honors ~ "A" or "B" in all core subjects and "O" or "S" in all specials.
Straight A students are invited to the Principal's "Make Your Own Sundae" Party after each marking period.
Both "N" and/or "U" and specific negative (#29, # 30, #40, #41, & #42) comments are disqualifying for all criteria of academic accolades.
Retention/Social Promotion
Only students who successfully complete the curriculum for a grade level will be regularly promoted. A student may be retained if s/he has not mastered the subjects and/or if an appropriate maturity level is lacking. A student with a yearly average indicating failure in two major subject areas (Reading / LA, Math, Science, & Social Studies) may be retained. Parents will be officially notified no later than the end of the third quarter if retention is probable. Any student whose yearly average indicates a failure in a major subject area may be required to bring up this grade via summer school or through tutoring. After progressive teacher-parent consultation, promotion or retention is ultimately the decision of the principal.
Diplomas
Students who successfully meet all of the eighth grade level requirements and satisfy school promotion standards will receive a graduation diploma. In a case where a student does not meet the necessary graduation standards and requirements, a certificate of attendance may be used in lieu of a diploma.
