8th Grade Promotion Requirements
|
|
|
|
| |
In an effort to help middle school students be more successful in middle school, to help them develop and maintain good study habits and focus, and to provide a more structured transition from elementary school to high school, the criteria for promotion and end-of-year activities are listed below:
- Pass English and Math each trimester
- Pass 5 of 6 classes each trimester or all classes, if on a minimum day schedule
- Satisfy school requirements for citizenship points, school fines, detentions, lost textbooks, discipline, etc.
Per Assembly Bill 1626, Education Code 48070, 48070.5, and Board Policy 5123, students in grade 8 will be retained if they fail both English and Math Trimester 3.
Students who fail, or are in danger of failing, either English or Math must participate in an intervention program in order to be considered for promotion.
Students retained in grade 8 will be transferred to an Opportunity Program to be held at Conejo Valley High School.

New Renaissance Criteria for 2012-2013:
The qualifications for Gold, Silver, and Bronze Renaissance will be changing, throughout the district, with the upcoming school year. In order to facilitate the transition, we will be using the new criteria during Trimester 3 of this school year because rewards for Trimester 3 are distributed in the Fall of the following school year.
In order to qualify for the different levels of Renaissance, students must now meet the following criteria:
Gold Card: Recipients have earned all A’s and E’s/S’s in citizenship and work habits.
Silver Card: Recipients have earned all A’s and B’s, and E’s/S’s in citizenship and work habits.
Bronze Card: Recipients have earned all A’s, B’s, C’s and E’s/S’s in citizenship and work habits, or recipients have shown a .5 GPA improvement from trimester grading period to trimester grading period, to the 2.0 level or above.
A mark of an “N” or “U” in citizenship or work habits disqualifies a student from earning a Renaissance Card for a specified grading period.
