IKA
GRADING / ASSESSMENT  SYSTEMS

A District-developed grading system will be utilized.

Teachers will keep a careful record of the grades assigned to students.

Formal reports concerning student achievement will be made every eighteen (18) weeks by the teacher, and additional progress reports will be made after the fourth (4th), ninth (9th), and thirteenth (13th) week of each semester.

Teachers will confer with parents when necessary concerning academic progress and discipline of students.  It shall be necessary to contact the parents of a student who is not making progress on meeting course learning goals or whose progress falls two (2) proficiency levels.

Teachers will report to parents on students' conduct, scholarship, attendance, or excessive tardiness.

Special  Education

Grades reporting achievement of special education students not taking regular education classes shall be given on a basis commensurate with the students' abilities and based on their individual progress rather than in competition with classmates.  The permanent record cards for such students shall indicate enrollment in special education for those classes.

Parents of special education students shall be counseled regarding the significance of the grading system in order to avoid misinterpretation of the achievement grade.
