Students may only choose one core class
each year. (Head start/Primary/ Intermediate school
internships, work study, teacher aides, library/office
school service aides, and other interns are automatically
given a "P" or "F" grade which doesn't count against the one
core class choice). This option is designed to encourage
students to take courses they would not otherwise take
because of grade point average considerations. It allows
the student to utilize a grading system that will not affect
his/her overall grade point average. It will affect them
positively if an "A" is earned or negatively if an is
earned. Approval of teacher, parent, and counselor is
required. Full credit is given to the class. Students
enrolled in "A/Pass/Fail" will receive the grade "A" when
that grade is earned. Other grades, "B, C, D," will appear
on transcripts as a "P". Students who earn the equivalent
of an "F" will receive an "F" on the transcript. Students
must choose their one pass fail class during the first 5
weeks of the semester they take that class. Forms can be
picked up in the counseling office area.
