GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

 

The students of the Carondelet Leadership Academy MUST meet the following minimum requirements.

 

• A student must have passing grades in the core subjects of Mathematics, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies.  End-of-the-year grades in each subject are determined by averaging each of the 4-quarter grades.

• A student must not receive more than 1 failing grade in any Specials classes (Art, Computer, P.E., Library, and Music).

 

 

Should a student not meet the grade requirements:

 

• He/she must attend summer school to make up any deficiencies and will not be permitted to participate in graduation exercises.

• If a student consistently failed most subject areas in quarters 1, 2 and 3, it is more than likely that he/she will not be able to pass to the next grade.  Summer school is not sufficient time to teach all of the material that a student has missed over the course of the school year; therefore he/she will probably be retained to repeat the previous grade the following year.

 

 

Promotion 

 

The curriculum of CLA is rigorous.  It is the intention of the schools to promote preparedness for each child to progress through the grade levels successfully.

 

Any child who is not prepared to exit a grade level is not permitted to continue on to the next grade until they have attained adequate achievement in their present grade.

 

Students who receive a final grade of “F” in Reading and/or Mathematics will not be promoted to the following grade.  They will receive 1 of 2 classifications:

 

• A student must pass summer school to be promoted to the next grade level.  Summer school absences of more than 1 day will result in automatic retention.

 

• A student must be retained in their present grade for the following year. Summer school is not required, but is strongly recommended.

 

                       Student classification is the final decision of the school Principal.
