HOMEWORK We consider homework to be an integral part of the educational process. Students are occasionally given assignments that must be completed at home. Often students have the chance to begin a homework assignment in class so that they have the opportunity to ask questions before taking assignments home to complete. Homework is a partnership; a cooperative effort between home and school. Homework is assigned with the following in mind: • Homework should be planned to extend and reinforce the learning objectives. • Homework should be relevant and meaningful • The amount, frequency, and difficulty of homework should be based on the ability, needs and age of the students. • An appropriate part of the student’s evaluation/grade may be attributed to the student’s completion of assignments. Homework should adhere to the following time guidelines: The amount of time spent on homework depends on a number of factors. These include: the student’s needs, the student’s age and grade level, the student’s work habits, the specific subject and its difficulty for the individual student and the opportunities that the student has during the day to complete homework. The following chart is SUGGESTED as a general guide. PLEASE NOTE that times will vary from student to student, at various times during the school year. Grade Level Approximate Time Kindergarten Occasionally Grades 1-3 10-30 minutes Grades 4-6 45-60 minutes REPORT CARDS Formal report cards are sent home a week following the end of the nine-week grading period in grades K –6. Grading scales and explanations of the letter grades given are found on our report card. The grading scale for grades 1-4 is: A=93-100, B=85-92, C=77-84, D=69-76, F=0-68. The grading scale for grades 5-6 is: A=90-100, B=80-89, C=70-79, D=60-69, F=59below. Once a teacher has determined a percentage grade for a student that grade is submitted to be included on the grade card. Once the grade appears on the grade card, the percentage is dropped and it simply becomes a letter grade. At that point, all grades are treated the same in terms of GPA and semester average calculations. Progress reports are sent home each mid nine weeks. The nine-week period allows your child time to bring a failing grade up to a passing one. Students who receive an “I” (Incomplete) on their grade card must complete all necessary work within three weeks or sooner after the date grade cards are issued. Failure to do so 20
will result in the “I” being changed to an “F”. Exceptions can only be made in extenuating circumstances as approved by the principal. If you have questions or concerns regarding any reports received, please contact the teacher as soon as possible to resolve the situation. Non-custodial parents are entitled to copies of grade reports provided that a written request and email address is on file in the office. Copies will not be mailed unless a selfaddressed stamped envelope is provided. HONOR ROLL (5-6) Students qualify for the “All A Honor Roll” by being enrolled in at least three (3) classes and receiving all A’s. Students qualify for the “A/B Honor Roll” by being enrolled in at least three (3) classes and receiving all A’s and B’s. PROMOTION, PLACEMENT, RETENTION POLICY At the end of the school year, most students are promoted to the next grade level. A small number, however, may have to repeat the grade to gain the necessary academic, social and emotional skills to be successful in the next grade. Placement into the next grade level may be necessary for some students. In all cases of placement and retention a parent/teacher teacher conference will be held to discuss concerns. This should be done no later than the middle of the third nine-week grading period. Following the meeting, the teacher will complete a retention recommendation form to be reviewed by the retention committee. The committee will review the recommendation, gain teacher input and meet with the parent before the end of the school year. In all cases of retention the following will be considered: • The social, emotional and physical maturity of the child. • Academic achievement (reflected on the grade card) – see guidelines below. • Group test results. • Attendance. • The child’s grade level and age. • A record of previous retention. • Parental input Additional guidelines for placement/retention follow: Kindergarten – a student who has attended kindergarten for a year and does not have the ability, maturity or readiness skills to do first grade work successfully will be considered on an individual basis for retention or placement. 21
