IKAB:   REPORT CARDS/PROGRESS REPORTS

The Superintendent will be responsible for ensuring the development of a system for communicating information regarding student achievement and academic progress to students and parents.  The School Committee shall be informed of substantive changes to the reporting system.  Within this system, grades and other forms of reporting should be understandable to parents and students and should indicate how the student is progressing in specific courses or content areas.

As components of the system, report cards and progress reports will be issued for each student at regular intervals.  Interim progress reports, including direct communication with parents/guardians (in-person conferences, phone calls, emails, for example), indicating deficiency or a need for remedial intervention or improvement in performance may be issued at any time.

The principal will provide written notification to students and parents by the end of March if the student may not advance to the next grade or if the student may not qualify for a high school diploma because he/she has not met the required standards.
