PROMOTION POLICY

The Chicago Public Schools have a very clear promotion policy which states that to pass from grade to grade, students must receive passing grades in the subjects taken during the year.

NOTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION

Parents of students who are receiving a failing grade in any class must be notified in writing at the end of the 5th week of each of the first three grading periods. Parents will be called and progress reports will be mailed.

Parents of students who are receiving a failing grade in any class must be notified by mail at the end of the 20th week of school. Within 10 days of the receipt of the TAP results, ninth-grade parents will be notified in writing if their child will be required to attend summer school

When students have accumulated 10 days of unexcused absence, or 10 days of out-of-school suspension, parents will be notified by mail that summer school may be required. A second notice will be sent after 15 days of unexcused absence.

When a student has accumulated more than 20 days of unexcused absence and has TAP scores below the national average in reading and/or mathematics. The parents will be notified that summer school is mandatory.
