Students who demonstrate a mastery of the curriculum for their respective grade level will be promoted to the next grade at the end of the school year.

Retention in Present Grade Level
Parents will be notified at the beginning of the second trimester if your child is in academic difficulty. At this time, retention may be discussed if this would be a viable option. All other avenues such as tutoring, IU evaluations and counseling will be discussed before retention is considered. 

Students may also be retained if they do not possess the necessary maturity and/or social skills necessary in order to successfully complete the required curriculum.  Parents will be notified by the teachers at the start of the third trimester if retention is a possibility. Final retention papers must be signed by the first week of May in order for the child to remain in school. Parents will be required to sign a retention form which will be kept on file for one year.  Failure to sign this form may result in dismissal from school. The final decision regarding retention resides with the Administration.
