Bell Schedule and Grading Policy

Bell Schedule

Classes are 45 minutes long, with 3 minutes for transitions.

Students are expected to arrive on time. Attendance is taken at the start of each period and Kinvolved texts are sent to parents daily.

Grading Policy

Grades for the semester are cumulative. This means that work from the first half of the semester will still impact your grade at the end of the semester. In other words, there is only one marking period per semester this school year. You and your parent/guardian will receive five progress reports in addition to a final semester grade (official final transcript grade) in a semester to demonstrate your progress. Teachers will also meet with you before each progress report to discuss your progress.
