A Reminder regarding Incompletes,Grade books, etc.

Incompletes Incompletes at the marking period must be satisfied within two weeks unless express permission for an extension beyond this limit has been granted by the Assistant Head of Upper School. Incompletes for the final marking period must be made up by graduation unless express permission for an extension beyond this limit has been granted by the Assistant Head of Upper School. Students who do not make up incompletes by the above deadlines may receive an F for the work missed.
 * 1) F’s and Incompletes: Need to tighten up that 2 week period so new grade is properly reflected. College Guidance needs to be notified right away. We can send out reminders for the end of the INC period.
 * 2) TEACHERS: If a bad grade is going to be showing up on a report card, make sure a call goes home first before that arrives. Can admin remind faculty of this before comment writing weekend?
 * 3) TEACHERS: Follow up with student at end of second week. Can admin send out reminder?
 * 4) Should INC be limited to two cycles? Should the grade at mid-term be an F or an INC when there are missing assignments that a student can turn in? How can we get a consistent action on this from teachers?
 * 5) Put in Calendar Dateline at end of the year, along with comment/grades due dates.
 * 6) Reminder in division meeting and in department meetings.
 * 7) Current policy reads as follows:
