Letter Grade Information
Student courses are monitored for mastery of progress. In addition to this, however, students will ALSO receive letter grades. K12 has the gradebook set up to be a cumulative record of all that students have done throughout the year. For example, your work from quarter one will impact your end of the year grade for each course. Each teacher will be weighting their grades differently. Please see below for a breakdown by subject.
