The decision to promote a student to the next grade or retain a student shall be made by the combined efforts of the student’s coach, the Principal and the parent/guardian along with supporting documentation. The Principal will make the final decision to promote or retain a student.

At the end of the first grading period, coaches will discuss with parents the area(s) the child is experiencing problems and provide the parents with strategies to use at home. In addition, the teacher will document strategies to be implemented with the student. The Teacher shall turn in a copy to the office to be filed.

At the end of the 2™ grading period students who are still achieving below expectations will meet with the teacher, parent, student, Teacher Supervisor, and Principal. Additional actions will be discussed to assist the student. This will be considered the second notice. The Teacher shall turn in documentation of the meeting to the office to be filed.

By the end of the 3" grading period, each student and parent who is not achieving at expected levels will receive written notification of possible retention. No student shall be retained if prior actions have not involved the parent or documented justifiable reasons for the lack of parental involvement.

The decision of whether to promote a student to the next grade or retain them in the same grade shall be made by the combined efforts of the student’s coach, the Promotion/Retention Committee, Principal and the parent/guardian. Efforts will be made to ensure the appropriate grade placement for each individual student. The Principal shall attempt to reach a consensual decision on promotion or retention; however, if this does not occur, the Principal shall make the decision to promote or retain the student and the Principal’s decision shall be final.
