Progress Reports

To enhance parent-student-school communication, Providence teachers will post student grades online through our Edline subscription. All students receive a grade on the progress report for every class. This letter grade is an accurate indication of progress at that time.
The progress reports are sent directly to the parents no later than ten days from the deadline date listed on the calendar. Parents may also be informed of progress by parent-teacher conferences
arranged by the parent or teacher. Teachers may keep the parent informed any time during the quarter by phone or in writing.

Edline
To even further enhance parent-student-school communication, Providence teachers will post student grades (and other information regarding their classes) online at our Edline website. Parents and students will receive individual login names and passwords to gain access to only their students/their own information. A link to Edline can be found on the home page of the school website.

Quarter grades
Quarter grades reflect the numerical average of all quizzes, tests, papers, and other assignments completed for that quarter. All assignments included in the grade must receive a numerical equivalent. Numerical grades should be based on a system of 100 points. The relative weight of each assignment is at the discretion of the teacher. Student work may be weighted differently, such as quizzes versus exams, but should be based on the decimal system.

Semester Grades
Semester grades are a combination of two quarter grades of equal weight and the semester examination. The relative impact of the semester exam on the semester grade shall be no greater than twenty percent. The semester examination may be included in the second and fourth quarter grades at the discretion of the teacher. Students may not be exempted from any semester exam.

To provide for consistency in all disciplines, individual assignments which receive only a letter grade earn these numerical equivalents:

Grades in academic classes may be lowered by the Academic Committee due to excessive absences.
