Additional Notes: - Although students only need to pass one of the above assessments to meet their graduation requirement, passing one of the assessment does not exempt them to take the appropriate PARCC exam according to the courses they take each year
- Special education students will continue to follow the graduation requirements set forth in their IEP’s
- Students who do not meet the threshold scores for PARCC or any other assessment may submit a portfolio appeal
