| Academic Standards | |
| There are
four nine-week periods in the school year. Grades are issued for
each full academic subject taught. IF the student is doing
unsatisfactory work in any subject, the parent is notified by the teacher
midway through the grading period or at such time as poor work is evident.
The parent is expected to contact the teacher upon receipt of such a
report. It is essential for the parent to communicate with the
teacher in this event.
Failure on two major subjects during a marking period or two successive failures in the same subject will result in academic probation of the child. Satisfactory improvement in grades must be accomplished by the following mid-mark period or alternative measures may be recommended by the administration. Occasionally, it is recommended by the administration that a student be retained in a grade for a second year. Such recommendation is only made after careful evaluation of the child's performance, his ability and social adjustment, along with his age/grade placement. Exceptional students may be given enrichment work to either bring them up to level or allow them to achieve at a greater level. Generally, this is done in a "pull out" program where the student is in either a small group setting or one to one with teacher or tutor. |
