Notice of Unsatisfactory Academic Performance

Warning of possible failure in courses will be sent home after five weeks of a nine-week quarter. Additional notices may be sent by teachers at any time. The purpose of such notification is to document reasons for unsatisfactory performance and to suggest plans for remediation, if possible. Students enrolled in variable credit classes will be warned by the teacher when it is apparent they may earn fewer than the standard credits for the class.

Report Cards

Grades will be mailed home at the end of each quarter. First and third quarter grades are progress grades in all courses except P.E. and Student Assistant. Semester grades (second and fourth quarter) issued in February and June are final grades. Please report any changes of address to the switchboard operator immediately. Our school phone number is (909) 949-7880.

The Grading System

The grade given in any course represents the teacher's considered judgment of the degree to which the student has achieved the goals and objectives of the course. It represents the teacher's professional judgment of the quality of the student's work and the student's degree of mastery. No grade may be changed by an administrator unless a clerical or mechanical mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence can be identified (EC 490667). All work and assignments must be submitted at or before the final examination period for the course according to the deadlines set by the teacher. Work and assignments for a course will not be accepted after the final examination period.
