If a student does not meet all of the specified criteria to be promoted to the next grade level, then s/he will likely repeat the same grade level in 2012 – 2013. 

This will also change the student’s eligibility for graduation as well as other class-related assignments including locker placement, lunch period, yearbook entry and more. 

A student’s grade level assignment for the 2012 – 2013 school year will be decided in late August 2012 after the completion of summer school and another review of student records.

Any exceptions to these guidelines must be approved in advance by the Principal and/or Superintendent.

This information has been provided to students and families in the 2012-2013 Student Handbook, the Guidance Office web page, and was included in the mailing with Quarter 3 report cards.
