Incomplete<br />
Incomplete grades must be approved by site administrators for students who are unable<br />
to have access to instruction due to medical or family emergencies. An “I” indicates that<br />
course requirements were not completed by <strong>the</strong> student. An “I” must be made up within<br />
a time period specified by <strong>the</strong> principal or designee not to exceed 30 days of <strong>the</strong> date<br />
when grades are issued to parents.<br />
If course work is not completed within <strong>the</strong> specified time period, <strong>the</strong> grade will be<br />
calculated based on completed/incomplete work.<br />
Pass/Fail Grading<br />
Pass/Fail grades are for credit recovery courses and special education.<br />
A student may elect to earn a “Pass” or “Fail” grade instead of an A-F grade for a course<br />

raise his/her grade. The student shall only receive credit for taking <strong>the</strong> course once.<br />
The highest grade received will be <strong>the</strong> permanent grade on <strong>the</strong> student’s transcript.<br />

A high school student who drops a course any time during <strong>the</strong> first 2 weeks of <strong>the</strong><br />
semester will have that course purged from <strong>the</strong> transcript and may be enrolled in a new<br />
class.<br />
Transcripts<br />

correct errors and enter replacement grades for repeated courses once courses and<br />
