GRADING
Report cards are issued each trimester for grades 1 – 8. Transitional kindergarten and kindergarten report cards are issued in February and June. Progress Reports are issued every six to seven weeks of the first and second trimester. In the third trimester, only students falling below "C-" or who drop a letter grade in any subject or in General Conduct will receive a Progress Report. Cumulative exams in math and English will be given to students in grades 6, 7, and 8.

Honor Roll
The Honor Roll for grades 5 – 8 is calculated at the end of each trimester.
- To be eligible for First Honors, students must have a trimester GPA of 3.7 – 4.0, and have an "O" or "G" in both Conduct and Work Habits.
- To be eligible for Second Honors, students must have a trimester GPA of 3.3 to 3.6 and have an "O" or "G" in both Conduct and Work Habits.
The average is computed from all subjects according to the following scale:
A = 4.0 points
A- = 3.7 points
B+ = 3.3 points
B = 3 points
B- = 2.7 points
C+ = 2.3 points
C = 2.0 points
C- = 1.7 points
D+ = 1.3 points
D = 1 point
A trimester grade of "D" or "F" in any subject disqualifies a student from the Honor Roll.
Middle school Conduct and Work Habit grades will be respectively averaged from all subject-specific markings in these two categories. Each middle school homeroom teacher will calculate these averages at the trimester grading period. The homeroom period will be graded based on student participation and therby assigned a Conduct grade at the trimester.
