When are grades checked?

The Discoveries' teacher will check the grades of each student at the 
end of every nine weeks. (This includes the 4th nine weeks as well.)
If a student makes a grade below a B in any area including conduct and 
enrichment, then it will be necessary for them to sit out the following
nine week period. For example, if a student makes a C the fourth nine 
weeks, then they will sit out the first nine weeks to work on bringing 
grades up.
