Academics

Under the Academics link (above) you will find links for PCHS academic programs, policies, departments and more. Simply point to "Academics" at the top of the page to view the menu.

For complete information about Providence Catholic academics, refer to the Student Handbook.

Report Cards

Report cards are issued quarterly. End of quarter dates are listed on the calendar. Report cards are sent directly to the parents no later than ten days from the deadline date listed on the calendar.

Edline

To 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 are given individual Edline accounts which will allow access to only their student's/their own information.

Grading Scale

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

A = 100 - 93
B = 92 - 85
C = 84 - 77
D = 76 - 70
F = 69 and below

To provide for consistency in all disciplines, individual assignments which receive only a letter grade earn these numerical equivalents:
A = 96
B = 88
C = 80
D = 73
F = 69 and below

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.

Eligibility Policies:

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.
