REPORTING TO PARENTS
Parents are kept informed about the educational and social progress of their children through our online grading system (Aeries), Parent-Student-Teacher Conference Night, Parent-Teacher communication by phone or e-mail and Semester Report Cards. Additionally students who are found to be at academic risk receive a paper copy of their Progress Reports. These reports must be signed and returned to the students' Academic Counselor. Each Parent/Guardian must request a user name and password for each student through the school website to access the on-line grading system.
REPORT CARDS
Report cards will be issued twice a year at the end of each semester via U.S. Mail to parents.
PROGRESS REPORTS
Progress Reports will be distributed twice each semester.
- It is the responsibility of all students to share their 10 Week Progress Reports with parents/guardians as soon as they are received.
- It is the responsibility of all parents/guardians to familiarize themselves with Progress Report distribution dates, to request to see the Progress Reports and to review them with their children.
- Students below a 2.0 GPA may be placed on Academic Probation.
- During Distance learning Progress reports will be emailed, we ask that parents please resapond to the email acknowldeging recipt of the progress report.
COLLECTION OF PROGRESS REPORTS
- Students who earn a C or better in each of their classes will not be required to return their Progress Reports to the school for collection.
- Students who earn two D letter grades or an F in any subject are required to have their Progress Reports signed by a parent/guardian and returned to their Academic Counselors.
- Students must personally deliver their signed Progress Report to their Academic Counselors in the Counseling Office (grades 9 & 10: Mrs. Alvarez; grade 11: Ms. Zhu; grade 12: Mr. Bencomo). Counselors will not accept Reports in hallways, in the gym, on the field, or anywhere other than in their offices. Students may not give signed Progress Reports to class teachers for delivery to counselors or to counselors' mailboxes. Additionally, students may not place signed Progress Reports under a counselor's office door.
- Reports must be received by counselors no later than three days after their distribution (Example: distributed on Monday; returned no later than Thursday.)
- Students who must return signed Progress Reports but fail to do so may be suspended from school. Suspended students may only return to school if accompanied by a parent/guardian, who will deliver their signed Progress Report for them.
APPEALING GRADES
When grades are earned for any course of instruction taught at Saint Genevieve High School, the grade earned by each student shall be the grade determined by the teacher of the course. All semester grades are final, unless a student/family believes a semester grade is unfair, unjust or incorrectly calculated. Marks for work habits and citizenship are not appealable. The Grade Appeal process is in place to assist parents in facilitating resolution when a semester grade is in dispute. An appeal request must reference the teacher's grading criteria and specifically state how the teacher's grading was unfair, unjust or incorrectly calculated. If a student/family believes a semester grade is unfair, unjust or incorrectly calculated, the student/family may appeal the semester grade via the following process:
1. Speak with the teacher prior to the end of the semester to make sure the student/family understands how the grade was earned/calculated. If the conversation resolves the dispute, the process ends here. If the teacher agrees there is an error in the grade, the teacher should inform the appropriate Grade Level Academic Counselor and the grade is changed. If the issue is not resolved and the student/family still disputes the grade, the teacher must inform the appropriate Grade Level Academic Counselor.
2. The appropriate Grade Level Academic Counselor then will conduct a review of the grade and inform the student/family, teacher and the administration of the result. Appealing a grade should be done in a timely manner. Please, address questions or concerns with teachers and counselors before grades are finalized.
TRANSCRIPTS OF GRADES
Students requesting transcripts to be sent to other schools or colleges must fill out the proper form at the Main Office. Transcripts will cost $10.00 for each official copy and can either be mailed or picked up in the Main Office.
