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.

Grading Scale
Grades reflect a range of achievement. Numerical averages within these ranges receive the following grades:

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.

ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY
In addition to identifying those students who are ineligible to participate in extra-curricular activities, the eligibility report helps teachers, coaches, and moderators identify those students who are in need of academic assistance, so that tutoring, guidance, and academic counseling can be provided.  Although teachers are required to list all students with failing grades, they are encouraged to include students with “D” averages so that teachers, coaches, and moderators can provide intervention before a student becomes ineligible. 

Policy:

• The eligibility regulation pertains to all students involved in any extra-curricular activity including athletics, clubs, and organizations.

• Eligibility is only cumulative over the course of a single quarter.  All students begin each quarter being eligible to participate. 

• Teachers may not post a student as ineligible unless they have a minimum of 3 grades which, when averaged together, equal an overall score of 69.49% or below.  ( i.e. 69.5% is passing.)

• Students must show a passing grade in every subject on the day the eligibility list is due in order to be eligible to participate in any extracurricular activity.

• All teachers must submit an eligibility report as scheduled, but in general, weekly.

• Students receiving failing grades will be ineligible from Sunday through Saturday. Students will not be removed from the ineligible list mid-week, even if they make up assignments.

• Only the Assistant Principal may look into questions of eligibility.
