Welcome to Spring!
You may have noticed some different grades on your report card from last semester. It is important to know what they mean so you know what to do with them!
I/Incomplete - An 'I' means that your teacher is giving you additional time to work on assignments from last semester to improve your grade. You have 6 weeks from the beginning of the semester before this grade automatically converts to an F. The deadline is February 19th. Talk to your teacher to see what assignments you can still do to earn a passing grade. You want those 5 credits!!
NM/No Mark - A 'NM' means that your teacher is giving you additional time to try to earn a passing grade for 1st semester. You have until the end of the school year to improve your grade before it converts to an F automatically. Talk to your teacher to make a plan. You want those 5 credits!!
How do I manage my time when I am catching up from last semester and trying to stay on track with this semester at the same time??
We recommend using your time on Mondays to work on past assignments and focusing on current work Tuesday - Friday. You may also want to spend time on the weekends. It isn't easy, but neither is needing to take the entire class again in the future! Your future self will thank you.
Here are some important dates to be aware of this semester:
February 19th - Progress Report 1 grading period ends
April 16th - Progress Report 2 grading period ends
June 17th - Semester 2 FINAL grades are due - these grades go on your transcript
