    • In addition to letter grades of A, B, C, or F, details of a student’s academic progress shall be captured on an evidence-based learning matrix and corresponding portfolio.
    • A final grade of C or higher shall be considered a passing grade.

    A grade below a C indicates non-mastery and shall require reteaching.
