When do schools notify families about student progress?

In the fall, schools hold parent-teacher conferences and send report cards home to provide early notice to families of how students are progressing. In January and February, schools designate students who may be at risk of not meeting promotion benchmarks and send written notice via promotion in doubt letters. In the spring, schools hold parent-teacher conferences and send home report cards. In June, schools make promotion decisions and communicate them in writing to families.

What happens if a student is not promoted in June?

In July, students who were not promoted attend summer school. In August, schools make final promotional decisions for students in grades 3–8 who were not promoted in June. Families receive written notice of the final promotion decision. Families may appeal these decisions in writing, and the superintendent makes the final determination.
