Progress
reports or report cards shall be issued to parents at least twice each
semester. The reports shall
reflect the Catholic identity and mission of the school, and the method
and format of the reporting shall be decided by the administrator. Reports shall include the school year,
the student’s name, the grade level, the name of the school and the
Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
Additional information to be included such as the Pastor’s name,
shall be decided upon by the administration of the school.
Opportunities
for parent-teacher conferences shall be provided once each semester. Interim reports shall be issued to the
parents between each report period when a student’s progress is not
satisfactory. Dated copies of
these interim reports shall be kept in the student’s file.
The
Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston grading scale (below) shall be used on all
school progress reports and report cards where “grades” are given.
A
|
93-100
|
|
B
|
85-92
|
|
C
|
77-84
|
|
D

69-76
|

F

In schools or classrooms that issue plus or
minus grades, the plus or minus grad must remain within the overall
grading scale. (Example: an A- must be no lower than a
93). At this time, the weighting of
advanced placement courses will remain a local school administration
decision.
In early childhood programs or un-graded courses,
the use of skills checklist or M (skill mastery), S (satisfactory), NI (needs
improvement), and U (unsatisfactory) or other alternative grades are to
be issued.
All grading scales shall be clearly articulated to
teachers, students, and parents by means of handbooks, newsletters, class
syllabus, and other means of communication.
