REPORT CARDS/PROGRESS REPORTS

One of the bases for the existence of schools is that those enrolled make progress toward a school's goals. Consequently, the School Committee expects the professional staff to devise and maintain a variety of reporting methods so that each parent may be apprised of the child's progress in the light of school goals.

Report cards are to be maintained for each child and sent home for review and signature.

Interim progress reports indicating deficiency or improvement may be sent at any time but are generally issued at the midpoint of the ranking period for deficiency in any area.

In all instances of possible non-advancement or failure in any course, parents shall be informed of such probability well in advance (usually by the third ranking period) and a conference sought. Whenever such situations appear imminent, the teachers concerned shall also seek the advice and help of guidance and other special services personnel, as appropriate.
