Grading Policy

Scholastic grades are based upon a student’s academic achievement.  The following numerical system is used to show student progress on his/her Personalized Instruction Plan, Report Card,  and progress reports:  

Parents and students, please be reminded that homework plays a very important part in our curriculum.  Homework is the great equalizer since it can be completed at the student’s own pace. It is not punishment nor is it to be done by the parent. It has a great impact on the student’s grade.  Homework can also be the first indicator that a young person needs assistance with his/her study habits.  It is every parent’s responsibility to set aside a specific time and place for your son/daughter to complete his /her homework assignments.   Students need a distraction-free place to study, and should not have television, video games, computers, or music on while studying.

Parents of 6^th graders will be notified of their child’s progress on a biweekly basis.  Parents of 7^th and 8^th grade students will be notified of their child’s progress on a monthly basis.  The Red Communication Folders are vital to the communication process.  It is imperative that every parent checks the folders on a weekly basis.  In general, the Red Communication Folders go out every Friday and must be returned the following Monday or subsequent school day.
