GRADE PLACEMENT
Students coming from another school must show grades for the last gradingperiod, as well as show scores on a national standardized test of achievement. If this information is not available or if there are questions about a student�s grade level, a placement test will be given. Each application is acted upon by the School Board following receipt of a transcript. It is understood that all new students will be automatically placed on a 60 days probation, after which time their permanent standing will be decided. The school reserves the right, after testing a child and counseling with the parents, to change the grade placement of the child.
GRADING SYSTEM
The school year is divided into four sections of approximately nine weeks each. At the end of nine weeks, a grade card indicating the performance of the student is sent to the parents or guardians. Twice yearly parent/teacher conferences will be held; at which time the system of grading will be explained.
GRADING WITH RESPECT TO ATTENDANCE
Excuses will not be accepted unless the reason for the tardiness or absence is stated. The only valid excuse, according to State Law, is sickness of student or death in the immediate family. There may be times when it is advisable for the student to be absent for reasons other than those stated above. In such cases the student should arrange with the teacher involved regarding the work to be missed. Such arrangements are to be made BEFORE the absence is incurred. Dental and medical treatments should be attended to outside school hours. If this is not possible, arrangements should be made as stated above to avoid penalty. Upon returning to the classroom, a note from the parent must accompany the student. A pupil who is absent as much as 20% of the total school days for a given period, for whatever cause, may forfeit his grades unless it is evident to the teacher that his work has been satisfactorily made up.
