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.
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.
