Grade point averages for Honor Roll and the Middle School Scholars Ceremony are determined on the basis of the first through third quarter grades. Deficiency Reports will be issues in the middle of every quarter for all students earning a grade of C- or below, or for students whose performance has shown marked or dramatic decline within that quarter. Deficiency grades are not recorded as part of the permanent academic record. Parent notices will be sent home at the discretion of the teacher to inform parents of significant progress as well as academic or behavioral problems. Weekly progress report forms can be initiated by parents or teachers when closer attention to student progress is indicated.
All new students receive a grade report at the mid-point of the first quarter.
The middle school recognizes both effort and achievement. Students who receive below a C in P.E or a U in exploratories or electives are not eligible for Honor Roll status. Students who attain any Honor Roll status for each of the first three quarters of the school year will be invited to the Scholars Ceremony in recognition of their efforts. Those who attain the Headmaster s List for the first three quarters of the school year will receive special awards and recognition at the Scholars Ceremony. In addition, those students who have shown the most effort and improvement academically although not on the Honor Roll will be awarded special certificates during the school year at school assemblies and programs.
