PROMOTION and RETENTION:
Promotion is recognition of both the academic and social work of both students and families. Students who fail to meet the minimum academic requirements as set forth by the Salida Union School District will be considered candidates for retention. All possible retentions will be reviewed by the Student Study Team. This team will make a recommendation regarding the pending retention based upon a variety of criteria including academic achievement, standardized test scores, number of “F” grades, maturity, attendance history, previous retentions, and other factors. Promotion is based upon the judgment of the Principal after consultation with the teacher and the Student Study Team and/or Salida Middle Assessment and Review Team (S.M.A.R.T.), that the student has sufficient academic, emotional, or social skills to make reasonable progress at the next grade level.
Students earning less than 3 promotion credits a trimester will be referred to the After School Intervention Program for academic study hall and/or Summer School.

RENAISSANCE: Renaissance is an academic awards program at Salida Middle School that promotes and celebrates student academic achievement. Salida Middle School students have the opportunity to prove themselves academically and receive positive recognition for their efforts. Students are rewarded with renaissance cards each trimester following the grading period. Eligible students receive one of the three cards. The card color represents the level of achievement and corresponding privileges. These are posted in every classroom.
Gold card: 4.00 GPA
Blue Card: 3.0 - 3.99 GPA
White Card: +.5 in total GPA
Students receiving a Renaissance card this year will earn awesome rewards such as early lunch and end of the day early dismissal, special assemblies, double lunch at the park, Renaissance Store opportunities, and fun events planned especially for them!
REPORT CARDS: Report cards will be mailed at the end of each trimester (end of 12 weeks).
