What is the final deadline for submitting grades?

[HLA Staff]

Grade reporting is your most important administrative responsibility. Therefore, we require that all teachers of HomeLife Academy submit grades in a timely manner, at least twice a year -- by January 15th and June 15th. This will help insure that your student(s) are meeting all requirements and will graduate as planned.

However, we realize you may need extra time to complete the year for various reasons (sickness, loss, etc.). Therefore, a sixth month extension is granted. You must submit grades no later than six months from the end of the academic school year to avoid being dropped from HLA. (This requirement is meant to encourage a high standard of accountability.)

This means you must submit the previous years grades by December 15th, six months from the final grade reporting period. In other words, if you are not completely finished with the current school year by June 15th, you may reenroll for the next school year without submitting final grades for the previous year. But if final grades for the previous year are not submitted by Dec. 15th your student(s) could be dropped. (Some exceptions apply.)

Finally, if you are teaching high school, we strongly suggest downloading the planning sheet for either College Prep ( http://www.homelifeacademy.com/pdf/college_planning.pdf ) or Vo/Tech ( http://www.homelifeacademy.com/pdf/tech_planning.pdf ) to help you keep track of credit requirements. Remember you are the teacher and main guidance counselor for you high school student. Diligence and proper planning on your part is necessary to guarantee your student will graduate on time.

As always, HLA counselors are available to you at http://www.homelifeacademy.com/counselors.php.

ALL Grades must be submitted for transcript requests (withdrawals, insurance purposes, transfers, scholarships, college applications, etc.) allowing 7 - 10 days to prepare and mail the transcript.
