Grade Recovery is meant to assist students who have made an effort to be successful in a course but have failed to make adequate progress to meet standards during a grading period. Grade Recovery is not a vested right automatically conferred upon a student who receives a failing grade.
To be eligible for Grade Recovery, a student:
· Must have earned a “D” or “F” as a quarter or final grade;
· Must have made a “good faith” effort to timely perform classroom work or have accepted additional assistance offered to them during the applicable grading period;
· Must have completed all work that was missed due to a violation (or a sanction for a violation) of the Student Code of Conduct and must comply with the attendance policy as determined by the School Board Policy Manual: “Missed work shall be made up for all absences; a day of make-up work shall be allowed for each day of absence, when appropriate. Each student shall receive full credit for such work.”;
· Must complete Grade Recovery prior to the end of the following grading period. The time may be extended at the discretion of the principal. Students making less than satisfactory progress at any point during the 4th quarter must begin immediate recovery and must complete that recovery prior to the end of the school year, unless the principal determines that an extension of time is appropriate; and
· Must not have engaged in plagiarism or cheating specifically identified by the teacher which resulted in the unsatisfactory grade.
The recovery grade will improve to a “C” when the standards are mastered. A grade of “D” may be assigned if the teacher determines that progress is made toward the standard(s).
When a student transfers to another school, Grade Recovery must be initiated by the parent/student with the sending school. The sending school is responsible for providing Grade Recovery work, grading and assigning the appropriate grade. The Grade Recovery process of the sending school will apply.
