Reports to Parents The purpose of our reporting system is to establish an effective line of communication between home and school. To accomplish this, the following systems are used: Report Cards Report cards are handed out to students to bring home every ten weeks. The report card includes a grade in each subject plus additional comments made by the teacher to explain the student’s progress during the marking period. Letter grades are used in sixth grade; number grades are used in seventh and eighth grades. This provides a transitional year for sixth grade students as they adjust to the Middle School program and environment. Individual teacher grading policies are covered at Open House in September. The passing grade is a D, or 65. Honor Roll Students with an average of 84.5 - 89.4 are named to the Honor Roll. Students with an average of 89.5 and above are named to the High Honor Roll. An incomplete or failing grade will make a student ineligible for Honor Roll. Progress Reports Progress Reports are sent at the mid-point for each marking period and contain comments, either commending excellent work or identifying areas for improvement. Outstanding Attendance In order to be eligible for Outstanding Attendance recognition, a student must have 0 or 1 absence, and no more than 3 tardies and/or excused early days during the year. Conferences Conferences with parents are an important part of the reporting process. A conference may be initiated by the student, parent, or staff members. Call the Middle School Office to make an appointment.
(Please note: Progress Reports are handed out to students at midpoint of each quarter.)
(Please note: Report Cards are handed out to students at the end of each quarter. In addition, supply lists will be included with the final report card, which is mailed in late June.)
Eighth grade marks the end of the Intermediate
Standards as stated by the NYS Education Department. There are seven
standard areas and 28 standards. Click here to find the Parents' Guide to the NYS Testing Program.
