Promotion Decision letters will be mailed mid-June: Students who are not making adequate progress towards meeting promotion standards will be required to attend summer school at their home school, if it is offered there, or at a school nearby. Families of students who are not promoted receive written notice that includes their child’s summer school start date and location. Families should contact the school if they believe their child should be retained and have not received a letter or if a translated version of the letter is needed. Students in grades 6-12 who are not promoted in June may not participate in June graduation or stepping-up ceremony activities. If you have questions about participation in elementary school graduation activities, contact the principal of your child’s school. Families can appeal promotion decisions after summer school students have been evaluated in August.
