Students follow their local school district’s requirements for graduation. Students are assigned class standing at the time of the IEP.

Class assignments are determined at the beginning of each school year or at the IEPC meeting.

Report cards are issued four times a year. Each report card reflects the student’s grades for each course of study. Citizenship remarks and attendance will also be noted.

Progress reports are sent out midway through each quarter. Parents are encouraged to discuss these reports with their child. Parents are welcome to contact teachers to monitor progress as necessary by calling the school office at 469-1590.

Students will receive an "F" after 10 excused/unexcused absences during a marking period. Students/parents may request an administrative review if they feel there is extenuating circumstances.

It is best to make prior arrangements with the school when a student is to be dismissed from school early. A parent/guardian is required to sign an early dismissal sheet at the school office.

WJR, 760 on your AM dial, will carry information in the event of an emergency school closing. If the weather is bad, monitor WJR for school closing information.

All visitors must register at the school office upon entering the building and when they leave. Visitors will be directed to their appropriate place of business. Former Neil Reid students are asked to follow the same procedures and will be assigned to a staff member when visiting.
