Request to Appeal a Grade

Any request for a grade change must first be made in writing to the classroom teacher who assigned the grade. A parent must make the request to the teacher within thirty (30) school days (for purposes of this bulletin, “school days” are defined as days when the relevant pupil is or should be in school, excluding summer school, intersession, and Saturday school) of the date the grade report was mailed. This request must reference the teacher’s grading criteria and shall specifically allege how the teacher’s grading of the pupil reflects mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetency in assigning the final grade. The parent may present any relevant information, oral or written, in support of the request.
