GRADING PERIODS

GRADING PERIODS

Grading in high school is based on a semester system:
 
1) Fall semester (runs from August through December); and, 
2) Spring semester (runs from January through June). 
 
Within each semester, progress grades will be posted on the Parent Portal at the end of 6 weeks and 12 weeks. 
 
Final grades for the semester (18 weeks), which are those posted after final exams, will become part of the student’s official high school transcript.
OPTIONS FOR MAKING UP FAILED COURSES

OPTIONS FOR MAKING UP FAILED COURSES

CUSD and SJHHS offer several options for remediation to regain status toward graduation and earn a diploma should a student fail a class (grade of F):
 
  • Summer School:  Student can remediate 10 credits (5 credits from fall semester/5 credits from spring semester). Student must see their Counselor when summer school applications are available to register.  Enrollment is based on date/time that completed application was submitted.
  • Academic Intervention Class:  Students who are severely credit deficient will be placed in the Academic Intervention class depending on space availability.  Students who complete this class successfully will receive 5 elective credits in addition to credits received by completing classes which they previously failed.  Students enrolled will regain credits by taking courses online.
  • CUSD Online Credit Recovery Program: Students in the Credit Recovery program to remediate classes/credits.  To enroll, student must obtain referral forms from their Counselor.
  • Additional Classes During Grade 11 and 12:  If students are not on track to graduate (120 credits completed by the end of 10th grade), the Counselor will enroll students in 6 or sometimes 7 classes to ensure credit completion for graduation.  Typically, if students in grades 11 and 12 are on track to graduate they have the option enrolling in 5 classes (as opposed to 6 or 7).
