NOBEL CHARTER MIDDLE SCHOOL CULMINATION
AND CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION POLICY
2014-2015
(Current 6th and 7th Grade)
Dear Parent/Guardian:
The Los Angeles Unified School District believes that all students can learn and are capable of mastering middle school standards and passing all classes. Your students will be expected to meet the minimum A-G requirements with marks of “C” or better to graduate from high school. LAUSD has adopted a Middle School Culmination Activity and Certificate of Completion policy effective starting with the class of students culminating in 2016.
This policy defines the criteria for issuing a Middle School Certificate of Completion and for students to participate in the Middle School Culmination Activity. It supports student achievement and guides students in preparing for matriculation from middle school to high school.
To earn a Certificate of Completion, students will be evaluated based on the marks earned in the core subjects of English/ELD, math, social studies and science in seventh and eighth grades. Marks earned in physical education will also be part of the criteria.
