A- = 90% - 92.9%

B+ = 87% - 89.9%

B = 83% - 86.9% 

B- = 80% - 82.9%

C+ = 77% - 77.9%

C = 73% - 76.9%

C- = 70% - 72.9%

D = 60% - 69.9%

F = 59.9 %and below

 

TEN-DAY ABSENCE RULE

If a student misses more than ten (10) class sessions during a semester, he/she may be subject to loss of credit in that class.  This maybe determined by the teacher of the class impacted by attendance.  The student may appeal the absences to the Attendance Review Committee.  The Attendance Review Committee will review student attendance history, class grades, behavior, performance, and hear student/parent comments in a formal meeting at the school or via an appeal letter.  A schedule change with loss of credit may be recommended or other interventions, such as the student making up class absences in excess of 10 absences. 

The student/parent/guardian may appeal the committee findings-recommendations to the principal within three (3) days upon receipt of the Attendance Review Committee letter.  They should write a letter requesting an appeal to the Aberdeen High School principal.
