Progress Reports
The grading system of our school is designed to give parents a true indication of the student's progress or lack thereof
- 94%-100% = A
- 88%-93% = B
- 85%-87% = C
Progress reports are issued to parents the following week of the end of each 9-weeks period. Please see yearly calendar for exact dates. The report is placed in an envelope which is to be signed by the parent and returned to the shcool promptly. Grades are based on successfully completed PACEs. Students will be promoted upon the completion of one year's work.
