Requirements to Pass

We are now in week two of the 4^th six week grading period. The fourth is special. The 4^th six weeks determines if a student is in danger of failing, or not. All of these requirements can be found in the handbook, but I thought now was the perfect time to review them.

Minimum grades required to pass any course:

To pass any full year course:

1.  At least 3 points must be earned for the entire year, and
2.  At least 2 points must be earned the second semester.

To pass any semester course:

1. A passing grade must be earned in at least two of the three marking periods.

Points are earned using the following scale:

A = 4 points

B = 3 points

C = 2 points

D = 1 point

F = 0 points

It is worth noting that Lexington High School standards are more rigid than these. Five points are required, with at least three in the second semester, to pass high school courses. 

If you are concerned about your student, please contact the school. You can email the teachers, call and speak to any of us, and we are happy to meet and come up with a plan. 

**Parent teacher conferences are March 19^th and March 24^th.
