Final Grades to be Rounded Beginning with Second QuarterPosted on: Monday, December 21, 2009Beginning January 5th, final grades within .5 of the next higher letter grade will be rounded up on interim reports and report cards. This change affects all York County School Division students in grades 3-12. Final grades for the first quarter of the 2009-10 school year will not be rounded retroactively. Semester grades will not be adversely affected by the implementation of rounding beginning with the second quarter because first and second quarter numerical grades are averaged to determine a student’s final semester grade and only the semester and final grades are entered on transcripts and forwarded to colleges. |
