This replaces the grading policy in the 2024-2025 student assignment books and take-home folders.

GRADE POLICY:

The school year is divided into two (2) semesters and four (4) nine-week grading periods. The first grading period report cards are shared with parents during Parent Conferences, usually held in October. The second and third grading period report cards are sent home with students and must be signed by a parent and returned to the classroom teacher. The final report card is sent home on the last day of the school year with each student or may be mailed to the student’s home.
