Evaluation and Promotion

Report cards are issued after each nine week period, four times yearly. Parents are asked to review the report cards and to notify the teachers involved of any concerns. Grade reports are available on FACTS at all times to inform the parents of their child's academic status.

Evaluation will be based upon class work, effort, and achievement tests. In the case of doubtful progress, the parents will be consulted in regards to possible retention. The parents have the final word in regards to promotion or retention.
