8. Progress Reports (Report Cards): <strong>Student</strong> progress reports will be sent four times per year at<br />
the end of each marking period. The elementary division has a standards based reporting<br />
system that measure a student’s performance against the grade level standards in each<br />
subject area. <strong>Parent</strong>s are expected to review grades with children and provide<br />
encouragement. <strong>Parent</strong> conferences will be held at the end of the first and third quarter<br />
marking periods. During parent conferences, teachers will report on each child’s strengths<br />
and areas for improvement. Together, parents and teachers plan how to help each child<br />
reach their identified areas for growth.<br />
