Grading Policy
Silver Springs issues grades and credits on a quarter system. The goal for all students is to earn 2.5 credits each quarter in every class.
*Students can earn 5 credits in blocked courses or courses taken for 2 periods. (i.e. Building and Construction)
Letter Grades = Indicate full credits based on Quality of Work and % of standards achieved.
Letter Grades with Caret (^) = Quality of Work and % of standards achieved earning less than full credit. Always use comment codes to communicate concerns. Caret ^ are only to be used at quarter grades, not the progress reports.
