In+danger+of+Failing+Letters

In danger of failing letters need to be sent home with students with 5th six weeks report cards. In order for a student to be promoted to the next grade level he/she must have an overall average of 70 on a scale of 100 based on course-level, grade level standards for all subject areas. Grades 7-8 must have a 70 or above average in language arts, mathematics, and either science or social studies. Language arts includes English and, if taken, reading.

What steps to take to gather information and send out letters:
 * PEIMS clerk will run a report with semester average, 4th six weeks and 5th six weeks in an excel spreadsheet.
 * Add an additional column with the formula: sum=4th+5th+semester average/3
 * Once this is complete you will send out letters to all students that have a 70 or below average in the above subject areas.
 * Compose an in danger of failing letter and mail merge the student information to be printed and sent home with 5th six week report cards.

Prior to sending out letters you will need summer school information to place in letter to allow parents time to prepare for their summer plans.
