 |
Evaluation of the student is based on teacher judgment and observation, daily work, teacher prepared tests (to include but not be limited to projects, portfolios, and other tools of assessment), class participation and effort. |
|
The purpose of report cards is to alert the parents and present to them an assessment of their child's achievement in his/her academic studies.
An asterisk on the report card indicates an accommodation and/or modification has been made according to documentation outlined in the student's confidential file.
|
| PROGRESS REPORTS |
All students will receive report cards (progress reports) twice during each semester (once at the end of each quarter). Parent teacher conferences will be scheduled with all parents following the completion of the first quarter of the school year. Parents will receive their child's report card at this conference. Additional conferences may be scheduled through requests by parent or teacher. Parents and/or teachers are encouraged to request a meeting when there is a concern.
|
| INTERIM REPORTS |
All students in grades 1-8 will receive an interim report after the completion of the first 5-(5) weeks of each new school year. At times some children may encounter difficulties as they strive to behave appropriately and/or attain specified levels of achievement. In such cases, interim reports will be sent home as needed so that all parties are aware of the situation and can meet together to develop a plan of action to help the student improve.
|
| PROMOTION / FAILURE POLICY |
A major goal of the school is to assist students to complete each academic year satisfactorily. The repetition of a grade is recommended when it is deemed by the school to be necessary and advantageous to the particular needs of the student.
The final decision to promote or retain a student is based on the student's academic performance and best interest as determined by the principal.
Teachers will notify parents if their child is not progressing satisfactorily toward a passing grade in the course.
If a student does not meet the criteria for promotion, a conference will be held with the parents and appropriate school personnel in attendance. If it is determined that additional educational support may enable a child to be placed in the next grade, a program will be developed and agreed to that provides for the student to participate in various educational interventions, including, but not limited to tutoring, summer school, and/or instruction at a learning center. Satisfactory completion of this program serves as the condition for placement into the next grade.
Students who have not successfully completed summer school or another program approved by the principal but would not benefit from being retained in the grade may be "placed" in the next grade level; however the school must prepare and implement a Minor Adjustment Plan for the student as a condition of placement.
