Middle School Promotion and Retention Policy

We want to remind all our students and families of the middle school promotion and retention policy that was adopted by the USD #305 school board. This policy goes into effect, starting with the 2025-26 school year.

The following guidelines will be observed for the promotion of students in the secondary schools. In order to enter the next grade, a student must meet the following criteria.

- A student must receive a minimum of at least a D average, 1.0 grade point average.

- A student must pass at least one semester of all core subjects (English, Math, Reading, Social Studies, Science)

- Students not achieving this minimal standard shall be required to successfully complete summer school or an appropriate alternative approved by the district.
