Reporting System
Assessment
A variety of assessments may be used to evaluate each
child's progress, e.g. tests, cooperative learning experiences,
portfolios.
Progress Reports
Progress reports are issued about
four weeks ahead of report cards. They are a means to report how your child is
progressing or to have a "warning" to both student and parents that
there is a possibility of a failure on the report card for a particular
subject. The student is responsible for bringing the report home to be signed
and for returning it to the homeroom teacher by the required date. (Gr. 6-8)
Report Cards
Report cards are issued on a trimester basis
and reflect a student's class participation, home study, test averages as well
as credit for projects done within an eight week period. No child will fail who
is doing his/her best work. If a failure is issued, students will be deprived
of participation in our extra-curricular activities until the failure is
brought up to a passing grade. Parents are asked to review all reports
carefully and return the envelope to school (Trimester 1 & 2).
Parent-Teacher Conferences
There are times scheduled
throughout the year for conferences to discuss your child's progress and have
questions answered. You are also encouraged to call the office at any time to
set up an appointment with the teacher should a problem arise.
