[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks! That's interesting that there's not a clear policy on what the semester grade would be. 
Thanks, all! [/quote]
There is not a specific policy because the circumstances for starting a course in the 2nd quarter vary from case to case. The grading system will only have one quarter grade instead of two, and cannot calculate a final semester grade without two. The teacher gets an error for submission in this case, and they have to "force" a final semester grade. If a student switches from another school and had a 1st quarter grade in the same course from the former school, the teacher will factor the two quarter grades together per the grading policy. If the course is a cumulative content type of course, the teacher may decide that the 2nd quarter assessments also reflect understanding of 1st quarter content and may use the 2nd quarter grade as a semester grade. If there was a level change (on-level to honors for example), the teacher may factor in the prior quarter's grade. If the course is not a cumulative content course, and the students has missed one or more entire quarter's worth of material, the student may get a final grade of "N" and not earn credit for the course. The student would need to retake the course for credit.[/quote]
