ACADEMIC SUPPORT & UPDATES
Students/parents interested in Pass/In Progress grading - contact your counselor
***Pass/In Progress
For a variety of reasons, students may be designated Pass/In Progress. This option for students must be requested by the parent/guardian and will be determined/approved by school administration through the PWHS Student Support Team. A Pass/In Progress will be determined for all classes if designated by the Student Support Team. Teachers will continue to enter traditional grades in the gradebook; however, a designation of Pass or In Progress will be entered at the end of the semester.
Students that receive an In Progress grade for the semester will be able to have an opportunity to earn a Pass (P) by completing required work in the week long make-up time from June 1-5 (formerly Finals) or during summer school. Summer School expectations to earn a Pass (P) will be determined through instructional staff and administration. Summer school classes may be in person or virtual as determined by the school district, health department, and the State of Wisconsin. Students that do not earn a Pass (P) by the conclusion of summer school will receive a Failure in the gradebook for that course.
