Grades K-8 Academic Information The academic program for grades K-8 conforms to the requirements of the State of Washington and to standards set by the North American Division Board of Education. For more information about the specific materials used by each teacher to meet these expectations please feel free to call the office to set up an appointment with the teacher to discuss the curriculum. The school office or classroom teacher can provide you with a copy of the daily activities for the classroom. The school day for each classroom will include time for morning worship, Bible study, language arts, social studies, math, science, physical education, fine arts, and scheduled breaks throughout the day. All requests for elementary acceleration must be approved by the local conference office of education and must conform to all NPUC requirements, including standardized achievement test scores at or above the 90 th percentile and evidence of emotional and social readiness. The academic year is divided into four quarters of approximately nine weeks each. A mid-term grade will be mailed each quarter. At the end of each quarter a report card indicating scholastic standing and attendance is prepared for parents. It will be presented at the end of first and third quarters at parent/teacher conferences. At the end of second and fourth quarters (semester end) it is mailed. Parents are encouraged to keep in close contact with teachers and administration regarding their student’s progress. Parents are encouraged to set up an Edline account with CCA to track their children’s grades and attendance. See the office to set up an online account. The following grading and honor point system is used: K-5 GRADE MEANING
4-5
GRADE MEANING HONOR POINTS 7-8
Pluses & minuses will now be figured in GPA points. A plus will add .333 and a minus will deduct .333. * Students not maintaining at least a 2.0 grade point average will be placed on Academic Probation. If a student in 7 th or 8 th grade receives a failing grade in a given class for two or more quarters he/she will be expected to make up the work through one of the following means: summer school, tutoring with special arrangement, or correspondence work. That student will still be expected to attend class and complete the work for the class. The Academics Standards Committee will be the final authority. Students who do not meet these expectations will be retained in the same grade the following year. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS FOR EIGHTH GRADE Students must complete all requirements for graduation. Based on academic progress teachers will determine, at least one week before graduation, if a student has completed the work necessary to graduate. Parents will be notified immediately if a student will not graduate. In order to go on the class trip students must successfully complete all graduation requirements. In instances where summer school is required, students will not march but may receive their diploma upon submitting documentation that they have successfully completed the program to make up deficiencies. All funds raised for class activities belong to the class as a whole and not to individual students. Students who do not go on their class trip (by choice or not) will not receive class funds in lieu of the trip. Homework is a vital part of each child’s education. All grades will be assigned homework by their teacher, and it is expected that parents will cooperate with them by seeing that the assignments are completed on time. Parents are not to complete homework for their children. It is our belief that homework should not be given to students to teach them unfamiliar material. Purposes for homework are as follows:
LATE OR MISSING WORK All students in grades 6-12 maintaining a 3.0 GPA will receive a $100 per quarter credit to their account. Grades are examined and scholarships awarded on a quarterly basis. |
