While school personnel will make every effort to assist and monitor students, the final responsibility for meeting course credit and attendance requirements for promotion and graduation rests with students and parents/guardians.

Students who do not meet the required performances in the classes outlined for CD requirements, must meet and plan with their guidance counselor to ensure they reach the necessary competency levels for the CD through additional coursework. Meeting these requirements, alongside earning sufficient course credits, is essential for graduation.
