    General Supportive Information for all High School Students:

     

    Academics:

    Middle School academics are very important! – learning that takes place during middle school builds the foundational knowledge necessary to be successful.  

    • Students will take a collection of 5 classes per day, some of which will be year-round, and others will switch on a quarterly basis.
    • Grades will be finalized and posted to a student’s transcript at the end of each semester.
    • A detailed description of the York International Baccalaureate Grading Scale can be found on the York website. – mapleton.com/yorkinternational - “Students & Families” – “Middle/High (Grade 6-12) Grading Practices”
    • Students must earn a “C” or higher to pass a class and earn credit.
    • You can check your student’s grades through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and receive log in information from the York Main Office of Mapleton IT Help Desk.
    • Check grades often and reach out to communicate with teachers via their office line or email as needed. A full York Staff Directory can be found on the York website - – mapleton.com/yorkinternational - “About Us” – “General Information” – “Staff Directory”
    • Make sure to check the teacher’s CANVAS website often; teachers often post assignments and updates for students.
    • In all grades 6-8 students must show evidence of learning to pass their classes and ultimately earn credit towards graduation.
    • In our International Baccalaureate Program students have the ability to show evidence of learning through a wide variety of assessments - written tests, oral presentations, seminars, and even completion of projects.
    • Schedules are developed at York to ensure that students receive a well-rounded educational experience.
