Promotion Requirements

Dear Parent/Guardians,

Your child is required to meet the middle school promotion requirements based on House Bill 7087, better known as the A++ law. These students must pass the following courses to be promoted from middle school to high school:

Three (3) middle school or higher courses in English/Language Arts

Three (3) middle school or higher courses in Mathematics

Three (3) middle school or higher courses in Social Studies

Three (3) middle school or higher courses in Science

One (1) semester-long course in Career and Education Planning, to be taught in 8th grade Social Studies

At the end of the first semester, if your son/daughter had a failing grade in one or more of these required courses, there is still time for your child to improve his/her performance. Satisfactory performance during the second semester (semester grade of C or higher) can result in a passing grade for the entire year. Final grades will be determined by combining the first semester grade with the second semester grade.

Students who fail one or more of these required courses will be required to make up the course through credit-retrieval options before being promoted to high school.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call the school @ 472-1102.
