Failure Notices

Education Code Section 49067 requires that parents be notified whenever it becomes evident to the teacher that their student is in danger of failing a course.

A “D”, “F”, or “I” on a progress report is notice of potential failure. Progress reports are sent home twice during each semester. If a student receives a grade of “D”, “F”, or “I”, the parent should contact the teacher or Guidance Office for assistance. If failure appears likely and a “D”, “F”, or “I” was not reported on the last progress report of the semester, the teacher will notify the parent. Parents will be invited to attend a conference.

Withdrawal/Fail Policy

Students who withdraw from classes after a two (2)-week period must have, in writing, permission from the teacher, department chairperson, counselor, parent, and administrator. A failing grade will be assigned for all such withdrawals.

The withdrawal/failure grade will be recorded on the student‘s transcript and remain a part of the student‘s cumulative academic record. Additionally, the failing grade, unless changed by repeating the course at a later date for a higher grade, will be computed on the GPA.

Students who repeat a course due to previously receiving a failure or low grade will have only the higher grade computed on the GPA, however, the previous grade will remain on the student‘s permanent record.
