Progress Grades
November 8th marked the end of the first grading period of the fall semester of the 2018-19 school year. The grades reflected here are a progress report and do not appear on your student's transcript. Attendance data is another indicator of your student's progress. If you have any questions regarding grades or attendance, you may contact your student's teachers. Phone numbers and email addresses can be found on the Westview Website: www.beaverton.k12.or.us/westview/whs_info/staff.htm.
The majority of progress report grades are as follows:
A-D
F Does not meet course targets; please communicate with teacher
An “F” grade may block athletic eligibility
S Satisfactory
U Unsatisfactory
The end of the semester is Friday, January 25th. The grades at that time will appear as permanent grades on the transcript.
