San Diego Unified School District also has certain requirements for students promoting to the ninth grade. They may change from year to year. (This is just to promote, not to participate in Roosevelt’s ceremony.) If a student does not fulfill these requirements, he/she may be retained and would repeat the eighth grade. These are minimal expectations, and are less than what is expected of I.B. students. In early spring, counselors and teachers will inform students of promotion requirements, meet with students at risk of failing or retention, explain high school enrollment options, and communicate other information about the move to high school. Don’t be left behind!
