Secondary Grading

Progress Reports and Report Cards will be sent home with students throughout the school year to provide parents and guardians with a clear and structured summary of a student’s academic progress, behavior, and development over a specific period.

 Academic Grades (Grades 6-12): The purpose of grading is to inform parents and students of the student’s performance, in relation to the state standards for the course.
