ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS
Students at St. Gregory the Great must actively participate in the educational process. We expect each student to realize that the primary responsibility for learning rests with the student. Parents, teachers, and friends may guide and direct the learning process, but real achievement in the academic endeavor is not possible if a student is not actively involved. Each teacher expects that a student will come to class fully prepared, ready, willing, and able to participate in the lessons of the day.
Copies of grade level expectations are explained and distributed to parents at Back to School Night.
REPORT CARDS, GRADING AND PROGRESS REPORTS:
Report card grades are based on the average of class participation, achievement in written assignments, application of skills, homework and test scores. Grades in Religion are based on the student’s knowledge of basic religious facts as well as the above. It is also expected that students will live out moral attitudes and the philosophy of St. Gregory the Great School. St. Gregory the Great Learning Expectations are included on the report as a standard of measuring,spiritual goals, academic goals and physical goals.
Parents are officially notified of student progress through progress reports (one in a trimester with three report cards in a school year. Report cards are published online within two weeks following the end of the quarter. Report cards are not to be shared with their classmates; therefore, report cards may not be opened until the students leave the school grounds. These are private and should be treated as thus.
