Homework and Report cards

Homework is an independent activity which creates a bridge between school and home. Parents are responsible for providing a quiet, well-lit, comfortable place for students to complete their work. Homework improves a student’s thinking and memory and helps them develop positive study skills and habits that will serve him or her well throughout life. Homework also encourages students to use time wisely and teaches them to become self- reliant and work independently.

 

Elementary students receive a progress report and a report card every trimester. Students are evaluated for academic achievement, effort, and citizenship. Effort and Citizenship are determined independently from academic achievement. Student grades include classwork, quizzes, tests, projects, and class participation.

Grading Policy

Participation, quizzes, tests, and projects will be graded on a regular basis. Parents will be notified of major tests, and if necessary, a study guide will be sent home. Grades are based on the following categories:
Participation 10%, Homework 10%, Quizzes 20%, Tests 30%, Projects 30%
