Grades and Student Progress

REPORTING STUDENT PROGRESS 

The Bethel Park school counselors and/ or Principals, in conjunction with members of the cyber school teaching staff, will record grades based on content and skill mastery. Only final grades are issued in cyber school. There are no quarterly grades. Academic progress can be accessed at any time by logging into the student’s cyber information page. Scheduling of parent/guardian conferences should occur at times and places that ensure the greatest degree of participation by parent/guardians that do not preclude the participation of either parent/guardian. (Refer to Policy No. 212 Reporting Student Progress). Students that change placement from one program to the other, (brick and mortar to cyber or vice versa will   have their grades averaged from both programs. 

ACADEMIC RECORDS

Bethel Park Online Academy embraces the philosophy that online courses should be as rigorous as those taken in the school buildings. All credits earned in the Bethel Park Online Academy will be recorded as part of each student’s official Bethel Park School District transcript. Program enrollment will be coded by homeroom assignment and course section number only in the District’s internal database. Courses taken through the Online Academy will not have a unique designation on the transcript.
