Student Retention Policy
Our wish is for all students to make suitable progress and achieve a level of proficiency that enables them to be promoted to the next grade level. However, there are cases when students do not achieve the desired level of proficiency and should be retained at the same grade level.
In such cases, school officials will hold a conference with the child's parent or guardian to present information on the student's progress/proficiency and recommendations for retention.
If the parent or guardian does not support the district's recommendations for retention, the child will be promoted to the next grade level. The parents must write a letter indicating their wishes and assume responsibility for the child's achievement for the following year. Should the child not succeed once again, he or she may not go on to the next grade level.
