[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if a student has 63.03 F In Biology will the grade change to D since is only half a point away from D?[/quote]

Grading rule depends on the teacher and the school. Have the student ask if failed and missing work can be resubmitted to increase the grade.

Thanks,
Trying to get him to study and get help serve ADHD and in team taught classes, so it’s not the easiest [/quote]

OP, I'm sorry that your child is struggling in Biology.  I would request an IEP meeting and work with the team to figure out how to finish the year as strong as possible.  The team teachers and your child's case manager should be working with him to complete work and turn it in and to make sure he knows when tests and quizzes are.  If he is struggling with content, he should be using "returns" to meet with his Bio teacher.

Does your child have an accommodation for extra time? small group testing? Are those things being followed (and not just upon his request?).  Some teachers (even in a team taught setting) will expect your student to request their accommodation every time and many students this age won't do it.  I pushed back on that in middle school and the beginning of 9th grade for the accommodation that my child most needs (small group testing).  He now feels comfortable asking for his accommodations when he needs them. (And I don't pester the teachers about accommodations that are in his IEP "just in case" but that he doesn't really need at the moment.).
