Middle School Minimum Competency: Students attaining a minimum of 70% in each of the required courses will have demonstrated the adequate competency required to progress to the next course level. If a student does not attain this level of academic achievement, then he/she has not demonstrated adequate understanding of the core standards for that course and will not be allowed to progress to the next course without a required remediation period.
Special Needs Students: Students identified with special needs will be required to meet the 70% benchmark and/or meet the goals of their Individual Education Plan (IEP) or their 504 plan. Each special needs student will be assessed on an individual basis by their course teachers and the special education director to determine their level of academic proficiency.
Middle School Remediation: As students progress through the school year, it will be the teacher’s responsibility to identify any students who fall below the minimum 70% benchmark. At the time a student falls below this mark, the teacher will notify the student and his/her parents via phone contact, email, or written notice. The student will then be required to attend academic remediation sessions after school until the grade is at or above 70%.
Summer Remediation: Students who fail to reach the minimum 70% benchmark will not be given credit for the course. These students will be required to attend a summer remediation to demonstrate adequate understanding for any course they did not receive credit for during the regular school year. This could be an on-line course, Study Island or similar program, Canvas instruction, or other means which the teacher and administration approves. If the failed class or classes are not made up by the next school year, the student will not enroll at the next grade level.
State Assessment Requirements: Students who do not pass the end of year state assessment with scores of “3” or “4” will be required to do summer remediation as set up by the middle school staff.
Alternative Remediation: Students who choose an alternative form of remediation outside the school district will do so at their own expense. These students will be required to demonstrate the minimum 70% benchmark as defined by the middle school staff and administration.
