Grading
Students in Grades 1-3 are graded on the scale of "0" (Outstanding), “G" (Good) "S"(Satisfactory) and "NI" (Needs Improvement). These grades are developmental in nature and not based on strict percentage grades.Students in Grade 4 through 8 receive the standard letter grades. The correlation between letter grades and percents is the following:
A = 93-100% B- = 85-86% C- = 70-74%
B+ = 90-92% C+ = 80-84% D = 65-69%
B = 87-89% C = 75-79% F = 64 & below
Report Cards will be distributed each trimester according to the school calendar. Progress reports will also be sent home during the interim period. All students will receive at least one progress report and students who are performing at C- or below may receive an additional progress report. Jr. High grades are available online throughout the year and are updated approximately every two weeks. It is the parent's responsibility to regularly review the online grades at www.gradelink.com. Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten students are given a conference report in December and in addition comprehensive progress reports in February and June. All reports are reviewed by the principal, and an acknowledgement of receipt is signed by the parent and returned to school. It is the responsibility of the parent to watch for distribution dates on the school calendar. Parents may request a progress report at any time.
Absences of fifteen (15) or more days during a trimester may result in holding the report card/ grades until the work is made up to the satisfaction of the teacher. If a student does not complete the assigned work due to absence or other reasons, the term 'incomplete' may be entered on the report cards. This will be changed to a letter grade when work is completed in the time designated by the teacher.
