Requirements for Promotion from 6th to 7th Grade and 7th to 8th Grade: Students must have completed the following: 1. Receive a yearly passing grade in four (4) major academic subjects (language arts, mathematics, science, social studies)

Keep in mind that 6th grade is earning middle school credits and a lack of earning these credits effects overall promotion from middle school to high school.

Whenever any student has a total of fifteen (15) unexcused absences from school within ninety (90) calendar days, with or without the knowledge or consent of the parent, s/he will be considered habitually truant. The Board authorizes the Superintendent or designee to inform the student and his/her parents of the record of excessive absences as well as the district’s intent to notify the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, if appropriate. The Superintendent or designee is authorized to file a truancy petition under F.S. 984.151 if a student has accrued at least five (5) unexcused absences, or absences for which the reasons are unknown, within a calendar month or ten (10) unexcused absences, or absences for which the reasons are unknown within a ninety (90) calendar day period or has had more than fifteen (15) unexcused absences in a ninety (90) calendar day period
