REPORT CARDS AND GRADING SCALE

The Christian school student should strive at all times to do the best work possible. To monitor student progress, a report card will be issued four times during the school year (twice for Kindergarten and PreK). During the first quarter, report cards will be given out at parent/teacher conferences. The second, third and fourth quarters, the student will bring the report card home. Report cards will not be released in the event of a past due balance on the student's account.

Report cards record each student’s grades and also personal comments about the student’s achievements, effort, and conduct.

In addition, mid-term progress reports will be issued in grades 4-8 as deemed necessary by the teachers. Other notes of progress will be made by all teachers as the need arises.

Marking System

Grades 1-3

The marking system for these classes may not be totally based on percentages.

	B	Above average	80 - 89%
	C	Average	70 - 79%
	D	Below Average	60 - 69%

A grade in the high end of the scale may be noted with "+" after the mark. A grade in the low end of the scale may be noted with "-" after the mark.

Kindergarten and Pre-K

The beginning months of Kindergarten and PreK are mainly a time of adjustment to working in a group situation, learning to share materials, taking turns and following teacher direction. No formal report card will be issued until January, to allow each student the opportunity to adjust to the new classroom environment.

Students will be evaluated in a variety of areas, with readiness skills evaluated in the second half of the year only. Parents are reminded that learning is developmental; a child masters a skill when he or she is ready. While certain guidelines have been determined by studying a wide sample of children at this age, undo pressure should be avoided if a child does not appear to be at the exact same place as his or her peers.

Awards

Annual awards are given out for academic achievement in grades 4-8 as follows:

• High Honor Roll - A or A- in the major subject areas and conduct. Not less than a B or a 2 in conduct, effort and other subjects.
