Cumulative Grading
All Grades are now using cumulative grading. This means at the end of a 6-weeks grading period, the student will keep that grade and will begin with that grade the following 6-weeks. Students are encouraged not to get behind as by the end of the school year it would be difficult to bring up a low average.
