Report cards are given to families in grades TK-12. Report cards showing your child’s progress in school will be issued twice a year at the end of each semester. These reports can take the form of but are not limited to, narrative reports, progress reports, report card format. Multiple measures of assessments are developed for each grade level and are used to monitor each child’s overall progress. If you have any questions regarding the information contained in these reports, please contact your child’s teacher.

If you have not already received your report card from your Homeroom teacher, you should expect to receive it by the end of this week. Grades have been finalized and report cards were generated. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to your homeroom teacher or to me!

Elementary students are assessed using the following marks. At the end of each semester, one of the following numerical grades will be assigned to each course:

4-Exceeds. I am working beyond the required objectives to meet end-of-year expectations.

3-Meets. I am completing the required objectives to meet end-of-year expectations.

2-Progressing. I am working toward achieving the required objectives to meet end-of-year expectations.

1- Needs Time. Needs more time to meet end-of-year expectations.

NA- Not Assessed at this time.

You will receive a progress report weekly from Edgenuity, and a final report card at the conclusion of each semester.

Grades are given as follows:

A = Superior

B = Above Average

C = Average

D = Below Average

F = Failure

I = Incomplete (changes to an “F” after 20 days) All grades in the core areas, with the exception of an “F” or an “I” earn 5 units of credit.

Concerns regarding grades and/or academic progress can be discussed at a parent/teacher conference arranged by your student’s homeroom teacher.

For each semester course offering that is completed successfully, five (5) credits of required or elective credits are earned. To obtain credits an ”A”, “B”, “C” or “D” grade is required. Failed courses will be recorded as an “F” on the student’s transcript, and a zero will be computed for the course in determining the GPA. No credit is earned for failed courses.

Grade point averages are determined by dividing the number of quality points achieved by the number of credits received. GPAs are determined on a semester-basis only. The cumulative (composite) GPA is determined using the semester averages beginning with the first semester of freshman year.

The Honor Roll Program recognizes students in grades 6-12 who are achieving academic excellence and improvement with positive, tangible incentives. Honor Roll encourages all students, teachers, support staff, parents, businesses, and the community to work together to hold the pursuit of academic excellence as a priority. We encourage all students to work hard so that they can participate in the program, feel pride and satisfaction in their accomplishments, and realize goals. It is a school-wide concept and an attitude.

The Honor Roll Program recognizes student achievement on a semester basis. Students can qualify in one of three categories:

Principal’s Honor Roll 3.5 – 4.5 GPA

Honor Roll 3.0 – 3.49 GPA

Students in grades 10–­­12 who meet the requirements for membership outlined by their school’s chapter are eligible to be invited for membership.

Each chapter is required to publish its qualifications for membership, which is based on the four pillars of NHS:

• Scholarship
  Per national guidelines, at a minimum, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent standard of excellence.

• Service
  This involves voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation.

• Leadership
  Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, and idea contributors. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.

• Character
  The student of good character is cooperative; demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability; shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others; and generally maintains a clean disciplinary record.

Students who meet the scholarship requirement will have an opportunity to complete a form detailing their accomplishments in and commitment to service, leadership, and character

Students are recognized by semester, and yearly for perfect attendance. Perfect attendance means ZERO absences. If a student has a prior absence, they may still be recognized in upcoming months if they have perfect attendance during that current month. Semester and yearly recognition require perfect attendance during these time periods.

For students wishing to attend a UC or State School, a grade of “C” or better is required to meet a subject requirement. D and F grades are not acceptable and must be cleared by repeating a class, completing advanced work in the same subject area of sequential knowledge (math or language other than English) or attaining certain minimum scores on SAT, AP or IB examinations. Students are permitted to retake failed classes, or courses that they have earned a “D” letter grade in with approval from the counselor, Head of School, or Deputy Head of School. There is no limit to the number of courses that may be retaken. Courses required for graduation MUST be retaken and passed.

Both the original course grade, and the repeated course grade will remain on the transcript. The higher of the two grades will be used to compute the student’s GPA. Credit, however, will be given for the course only once. A repeated course will receive the CR (or credit recovery) designation on the transcript.

Once issued, transcripts cannot be revised unless evidence is provided to indicate that the transcript is materially inaccurate. A student with such evidence can petition for a transcript revision. The teacher of the course and school registrar will then review the transcript to determine its accuracy, consulting with the school principal and Head of School where necessary. The registrar will be responsible for issuing a revised transcript where it is deemed appropriate.
