REPORT CARDS

Report cards are available on Gradelink at the end of each trimester. Parents/teacher conferences follow the first trimester report card. A parent-teacher conference is required for students with failing grades and strongly encouraged for all other students.  If the parents of a child with a failing grade cannot make the conference prior to the distribution of report cards, the child will not be given a card until the conference.​


GRADELINK – ONLINE GRADING SYSTEM

Teachers in grades 3 – 8 will post grades online using Gradelink, a web-based school portal system.  Parents will be able to check their child’s latest grades, receive email alerts when new grades are posted, and review what homework has been turned in.  Teachers will upgrade their online grade books every two weeks. It is important to understand that while Gradelink accounts will accurately reflect student progress, they are not intended to be used for daily grade reports.


Gradelink accounts can only be accessed using individual usernames and passwords.  Parents and students will receive activation codes for their accounts at the beginning of the school year, along with instructions and support for activation. The Gradelink account is intended to strengthen communication and partnership between home and school in order to better support the student’s academic progress and help each student take greater responsibility for his or her own academic success.​
