Interim reports are issued to all middle and high school students. Report cards are distributed to all elementary school students. Report cards for middle and high school students are mailed to parents from the La Plata post office on the dates listed above, and to home addresses on file at the school. If parents/guardians do not receive the report card within three days of the published date, they should contact the school.* Note: Issuance of interim reports is not limited to published dates. Interim progress reports may be issued at any time and must be issued when a student is in danger of or is failing.
Prekindergarten, kindergarten & grades 1-2Prekindergarten and kindergarten students receive formal reports three times a year. A parent conference is scheduled for the first report card period. Ratings are based on national, state and county standards. Report cards for students in first and second grade are given four times during the year. Student performance in prekindergarten, kindergarten, first and second grade is reported to parents using the following ratings:
- Consistently Demonstrating – The student successfully exhibits the indicated skills, knowledge and behaviors.
- Developing – The student generally exhibits the indicated skills, knowledge and behaviors.
- Needs Improvement – The student rarely exhibits the indicated skills, knowledge and behaviors. The performance is inconsistent and below the normal range of expectancy for a student at that grade level.
Grades 3-5
Teachers evaluate the academic performance for each student four times a year using the following letter grades:
A = Excellent
B = Very good performance
C = Satisfactory performance
D = Minimal performance
E = Unsatisfactory performance
Middle & high school
In middle and high school, student semester and final grades are computed by averaging numerical grades. Quarterly grades are calculated by obtaining a quarterly arithmetic average. In order to prepare grades for report cards, this average is translated into a letter grade. Most English, math, social studies and science classes in ninth grade and tenth-grade biology have semester and final exams, and in some cases quarterly exams, that combine to count as 10 percent of the final grade. This includes Algebra I at the middle school level.
The grading scale is:
A = 90-100 % = Superior
B = 80-89 % = Above average
C = 70-79 % = Average
D = 60-69 % = Below average
F = 0-59 % = Failure
If a student receives a failing grade because of two or more unlawful absences, the numerical grade assigned to the student will be no higher than 59 percent. Teachers have some discretion and latitude within parameters in devising a grading system and assigning students’ grades; however, such a system should be consistent. Teachers give students a course description that includes information on how grades are calculated.CCPS has a weighted grade system. Students taking advanced placement courses have grades weighted by one point and students taking specified honors courses have grades weighted by one-half point. A weighted grade-point average is calculated and used to determine class rank and eligibility for certificate of merit. |
