The necessity of a student repeating a grade in elementary and middle years will be determined through Administration, Teacher, and Parent Consultation with the student’s best interests and welfare always in the forefront. Secondary students pass by subjects and not by grade.
Parent Concerns
Parents should contact their child’s teacher when they have concerns or questions regarding a particular subject or a classroom routine or policy. The teacher is in the best position to deal with these concerns, but can do nothing until made aware of the perceived problem. Most problems can be solved and many misunderstandings can be avoided with a phone call, or visit.
If a parent feels that the teacher has failed to resolve the matter, then the principal should be contacted. If the situation still does not improve, the parent should contact the Director of Education/Superintendent to assist in finding a remedy.
Attendance
Regular attendance is essential for achieving academic success, and the following steps will be taken to ensure regular attendance:
1. Notes or phone calls from parents to the home room teacher or the principal will be required to explain why a student must leave school early.
2. It is expected that students will miss classes only for legitimate reasons. Students are responsible for all work missed in accordance with individual classroom teacher expectations.
3. Advance notice to the teacher is required if a grade7-12 will miss a scheduled exam.
4. If an exam is missed by a grade 7-12 student due to an emergency or illness, parents must phone the teacher that morning to explain the situation. On the student’s return to school, the exam will be written within a few days, at a mutually agreeable time.
Division IV Course Offerings
