Remote Learning Grades

Grades will continue to be issued for completed work, but they will not negatively impact a student’s overall grade.  However, if a student does not complete the work for any particular class, an “incomplete” can be issued for that class until the work is completed and submitted.   To clarify what it means for a student to receive an incomplete for a course:   No credit will be issued for the course until the “incomplete” is resolved, with work being completed and submitted.  This will require the student to complete work from this school year during the next school year, while completing work in new courses.  An “incomplete” may impact a student’s ability to enroll in other courses, as the incomplete course may be a prerequisite.  If the “incomplete” is an honor’s course, it will likely cause the student to be excluded from honor’s courses for the next school year.  If you or your student are unsure of the required work, or if you want to know your current academic standing in a class, please contact the teacher via email.  If you need assistance with technology, including PowerSchool login information to check for missing work, please see our district website under “BCHS Remote Learning”.
