Report Cards
Report Cards are given at the end of each marking period, which lasts approximately ten weeks. They are given to communicate to parents the progress of their child. Attendance and tardiness are also recorded. Report Cards will be included as part of your child’s permanent files. Report Card distribution dates:

• 1^st marking period – Nov. 17th, 2023
• 2^nd marking period – Feb. 2nd, 2024
• 3^rd marking period – April 12th, 2024
• 4^th and final marking period – June 19th, 2024

Progress Reports
Progress Reports will be administered during the 5^th week of each marking period.  Every student from K5 – 7^th grade will receive one.  If the teacher feels a conference with the parent is needed they will be marked accordingly. Progress Reports are used to keep the parents informed of their child’s progress and level of understanding.

Standardized Testing
Stanford Achievement Tests (SAT) are given annually to all students in grades K5 and above, during the last week of April. The tests cover all major subjects and test students to check their progress. A copy of the results can be picked up in the office approximately 4-6 weeks after the tests are administered if not it will be placed in the envelope with their final report card.  There is a $50 fee to cover these expenses.

Homework
Each student is required to complete his/her homework assignments. Between 3:00pm-4:00pm is homework time in the classroom. During this time the students have the teacher’s assistance. All assignments must be signed by a parent and returned the next day. This will ensure that the parent is informed of what their child is learning and whether or not they completed their assignments.

Homework is a percentage of the student’s grade in each subject. It is very important that all homework is completed, signed and turned in the very next school day.
