Series 5000: Students

5124 Reporting to Parents

The Board of Education encourages good communication between parent and teacher and shall  promote frequent and varied reporting contacts. All forms and methods of communications, such as parent-teacher conferences, mail, email, telephone, and school visitation by parents will be utilized. 

Report Card 

Written reports on student progress will be issued to parents every quarter. The reporting dates will  be determined annually and placed on the school calendar. Parents will be advised no later than the third reporting period of a student's potential failure. 

Progress Reports 

Student progress reports will be sent between marking periods to parents/guardians of all students.  These reports do not necessarily mean that a student is failing, but a deficiency is noted which needs correction. Acknowledgment of this report by a note, phone call or visit by the parent or  guardian is advisable. 

If the parents of a child are separated or divorced, both parents will have the right to be informed of  their child's progress in school unless there is an order from the court to the contrary. To receive written reports and notification of conferences, a non-custodial parent will make such request to the school Principal.
