Parent/Student Handbook Addendum

A failure alert system was activated by the school on September 28, 2020.  This alert system was designed to bring parental awareness when a child fails an assignment, with the intent of encouraging students to give their best effort and work toward mastery, while also balancing the additional work presented for the faculty when such opportunities are offered to students.  The Instructional Leadership Team of Snow Hill, representing the faculty and administration of the school, has elected to allow students a 5 school day period to redo their failing assignment for full passing credit.  If the resubmitted assignment is still a failing grade, the higher of the two grades will stand.  After this 5 day period, if no reworked assignment is submitted, the failing grade for the assignment will become permanent.  If a child has failed to complete an assignment, and subsequently fails the second opportunity, the second grade stands.
