Do not grow weary in doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap
a harvest if we do not give up.

Records

Accurate documentation of student progress and attendance is important for both educational planning and the credibility of student cumulative records. The following is a list of required records and a description of each:

1. Course of Study: We are required by law to keep a course of study on file for every enrolled student. On this form you are to list the subject, title, publisher, and grade level. This form is to be turned in once per year at the beginning of each school year.

2. Attendance Record: We are required by law to keep account of each student’s  attendance. Please mark each day that you have scheduled classes for your child(ren), and list absences on the reverse side with a brief reason for the absence, ie. “ill”. Field trips are counted as school days. These figures are to be transferred to the report card each quarter. The attendance record is due at the end of each school year.

3. Quarterly Objectives and Evaluation: (Grades 1-8) Use this to set goals for each area of study listed on the Course of Study and/or that will be reflected on the report card. Teacher’s guides can be helpful here. Be realistic about how much you can cover. The objectives are to be filled out at the beginning of each quarter and kept as a reference. At the end of the quarter it is very simple to evaluate whether or not the objectives were met. Review your objectives and check the appropriate box. If the objectives were mastered, you are ready to move on to the next step in that area of learning. If any other box is checked, you will probably need to spend more time in this area of study. The QOA for will be kept in the family file and are not a permanent part of the student cum file unless you do not turn in a report card.

4. Report Card: The report card is our official report of student progress and 
achievement in each subject area. On the report card, list grades for the quarter for subjects that apply to your child. Do not grade subjects you have not taught. Not all subjects on the report card have to be taught at every grade level.
Grade your child according to how he/she has performed on assignments and tests and/or how he/she in relation to what you are teaching him. 

Grades 1-3 may use wise code:

W-Weakness
I-Improving
S-Satisfactory 
E- Excellent
Grades 4-12 use letter grades based on the following percentiles:
93%= A 
90%= A- 
87%= B+ 
84%= B 
80%= B- 
77%= C+
77%= C+
74%= C
70%= C-
Performance below 70% does not receive a passing grade for credit.

Instructors who choose to alter this grading scale must include a specific grading scale with justification in the Course Description and Standards which must be on file prior to the beginning of the class.

Find more help on grading and evaluating student progress by referring to the Handbook for evaluating student progress entitled Evaluating for Excellence by Teresa Moon.

Course Description and Standard: (grades 9-12) A course description and standard is to be on file for every course receiving high school credit. The Course Description defines the content of the course, curriculum, credits, grade level, and grading criteria of the course taught. Course descriptions are due on the first day of instruction of each course taught. 

Transcript Worksheet: A transcript worksheet is required at the completion of each year of study for both Jr. and Sr. high school students. The transcript worksheet must be turned in before a transcript can be produced and credit can be documented.
