​Homework / Report Cards / Promotion & Retention

Homework

Homework is an important part of a student's education and establishes a link between home and school. Homework offers parents an opportunity to become involved in the curriculum on a regular basis and teaches children responsibility and time management.
 
Homework:
  • Reinforces skills and information learned in class.
  • Teaches a student to develop self-discipline and responsibility
  • Prepares students for upcoming topics and projects.
  • Teachers will develop an age-appropriate class/subject homework policy for their students.

Report Cards

Report Cards are issued three times a year for Kindergarten through Grade 8. Parents should carefully review their child's progress and contact the school if they have any questions.

Parents must sign the Report Card envelope and return to the teacher promptly.

Promotion & Retention

Promotions and retentions are based on an evaluation of academic, physical, social and emotional growth. The primary reasons for considering retention are, but not limited to:
  1. Insufficient understanding of the grade-level curriculum;
  2. Indifference or lack of effort on the part of a capable student;
  3. Physical or social immaturity
  4. Frequent or long absences.
Parents can assume their child will be promoted unless the alternative of retention has been discussed during the school year. Parents will be involved in any retention discussion.
