Grading
REPORT CARDS
Report cards are sent home on a trimester basis for students in Grades K-8. Trimester reports will be mailed home in December, March and June. Parent-Teacher Conferences are held in December for all parents. Parents should review the report card with the child. The report card is not returned. If students are doing less than satisfactory work, the teacher should arrange to talk or meet with the parents to discuss the problem.
INTERIM PROGRESS REPORTS
Interim Progress Reports will be sent out to students in Grades 1-2 and to those students in Grades 3-8 with deficiency grades. Parents in Grades 3-8 can access their child’s grades throughout the school year through Gradelink our on-line grading system. Teachers enter grades on the 15th and last day of the month. Please note however, that parent/student access will be locked during the weeks of interim and trimester reports.
