Promotion and Retention. 11. Conclusion
Promotion and Retention. A student will be promoted only on the basis of academic achievement or demonstrated proficiency of the subject matter of the course or grade level, the recommendation of the student’s teacher, the score received on any criterion- referenced or state-mandated assessment, and any other necessary academic information as determined by the district. In grades 1–8, promotion to the next grade level shall be based on an overall average of 70 on a scale of 100 based on course-level, grade-level standards (essential knowledge and skills) for all subject areas and a grade of 70 or above in three of the following areas: language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Grade-level advancement for students in grades 9–12 shall be earned by course credits. [See EI] In addition, at certain grade levels a student--with limited exception--will be required to pass the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test, if the student is enrolled in a public Texas school on any day between January 1 and the date of the first administration of the STAAR.* • In order to be promoted to grade 9, students enrolled in grade 8 must perform satisfactorily on the mathematics and reading sections of the grade 8 assessments in English. If a student in grade 8 is enrolled in a course that earns high school credit and for which an end-of-course (EOC) assessment will be administered or in a course intended for students above the student’s current grade level in which the student will be administered a state mandated assessment, the student will not be subject to the promotion requirements described above for the relevant grade 8 assessment. If a student at any grade level is enrolled in a class or course intended for students above his or her current grade level in which the student will be administered a state mandated assessment, the student will be required to take an applicable state mandated assessment only for the course in which he or she is enrolled, unless otherwise required to do so by federal law. A student in grade 8 will have two additional opportunities to take a failed assessment. If a student fails a second time, a grade placement committee, consisting of the principal or designee, the teacher, and the student’s parent, will determine the additional special instruction the student will receive. After a third failed attempt, the student will be retained; however, the parent can appeal this decision to the committee. In order for the student to be promote...
Promotion and Retention. Promotion and retention shall be based upon the mastery of objectives.
Promotion and Retention. Students must exhibit satisfactory growth and performance in the subjects of Religion, Reading, Math, English, Science, and Social Studies in the grade in which he/she is presently enrolled in order to be promoted to the next higher grade. Lack of such growth and poor performance in the core subjects may result in the student being retained to repeat a grade. If a student is failing in two or more subjects, the teacher, parents, and principal will meet to study the student’s deficiencies and seek to reach a conclusion that will best benefit the student. The teacher and principal will then make a recommendation to promote or retain the student. If the parents decide not to follow the recommendation of the teacher and the principal, they must sign a statement to that effect and the student will be transferred rather than promoted, to the next higher grade. Students absent more than 18 days will be considered for retention. Students with special needs will be dealt with on an individual basis. All final judgment concerning with retention rests with the principal. Grievance Procedures Complaints about the operation of St. Xxxx School, including but not limited to concerns about possible discrimination, will be treated courteously. Anonymous complaints or mere rumors, however, should be viewed in proper perspective. An established grievance procedure agreed upon beforehand by both the Pastor and the Principal will eliminate prior judgments and misconceptions arrived at without complete or accurate factual information. Mutual consultation in such matters is vitally important. St. Xxxx School shall deal with grievances in this manner: 1. Anonymous complaints will not be dealt with.
Promotion and Retention. Based upon teacher recommendation, test scores, and/or observation by the school personnel or other professionals, a student in grades K - 5 may be conditionally promoted or retained if the student experiences difficulty in mastering the academic phases of the school program and would profit more if he or she attended summer school/tutoring or was retained one grade. Any student in grades 6 - 8 who has an "F" average in any or the six core subjects at the end of the school year will not be promoted to the next grade until one of the following conditions have been met.
Promotion and Retention. It is the philosophy of the District that students thrive best when placed in or promoted to grade levels with other students of compatible age, physical, social, and emotional status. It is the District’s philosophy to promote students who demonstrate effort within those
Promotion and Retention. Decisions concerning the promotion or retention of a pupil are made by the teacher or teachers and the principal after all persons, including the parents, are fully informed. (Deficiency notices for a single subject shall be construed as sufficient information to students and parents for the purpose of this section.) The decision made must consider what will best meet the developmental needs of the child. In addition, the passing or failing of any student in a single subject shall follow the guidelines in this paragraph.
