Algebra 1 will be a year-long course for 2012-2013 school year for any student taking Algebra 1. Marking periods will remain the same (every 5 weeks). The fall semester grade on the 20-week report card, will be considered a Progress mark and student's grades will continue onto the spring semester. A final mark for the course will be issued at the end of the school year in June. At this time, students will earn 10 credits for a passing mark indicating completion of the course or zero credits for failing the course regardless of what their progress grade was at the 20 week fall semester.
