STUDENT RECORDS

Permanent school records are kept on all students in their respective schools. These records enable maximum information to be gathered as the school endeavors to provide for each student’s needs. Upon parental or legal guardian’s written request, the permanent record of that parent or guardian’s child shall be made available. Students 18 years of age or older shall be granted like opportunities upon written request. No records or record information shall be released to third parties, unless written approval has been given the school by the student’s parents/legal guardians of the student who is 18 years of age or older.


When a student transfers from this school system to another, the student’s records will be forwarded upon request to the receiving school. If the student has outstanding fees or textbooks, transfer records will be delayed until all accounts have been cleared. The Petal School District is required to verify the actual residence of any student requesting transfer of records. The district will use objective and reliable methods to verify student’s addresses for all transfers during the registration and at random throughout the year.
The following information is considered directory information and can be released to the public: honors information, scholarship information, photos/videos, and grade classification. Any student’s parents/guardians who do not want this information released must contact the school in writing within the first ten school days after receiving the student/parent handbook. All transcripts cost $1.00 (cash) and may be obtained in the Guidance Office.

STUDENTS MUST PASS ALL REQUIRED STATE TESTS.






GRADUATION PATHWAY
All Students begin on the Traditional Pathway. A change in graduation pathway will be done on a case by case basis.
Students graduating with a Career or District diploma must begin college at a community/junior college or technical school.
In order to begin at a 4 year college/university, a student must follow the Traditional pathway and College Prep Curriculum (p. 14).
All students are encouraged to take advantage of a wide variety of courses in order to be prepared for senior college, junior college or the technical world of work. A school district may allow three (3) Carnegie units from band, chorus, and physical education to count as three (3) of the electives required for graduation by the state; except that no single course shall be counted for more than two (2) of the three (3) units.
The Petal School District will limit the scheduling of formal graduation ceremonies to those honoring senior students who have successfully completed graduation requirements and are in good disciplinary standing.


CREDIT RECOVERY

Petal High School offers a credit recovery program in which students may stay after school and gain credit for courses that they have previously failed. The work is done under the direction of a facilitator and through the APEX software program. Credit recovery is a part of the district Dropout Prevention Program. An application must be obtained and approved through the Guidance Office.
