Academic Assessment
Progress Reports - ProgressBook acts as an ongoing progress report. These are to inform you of what is going on with your child(ren) in academics and behavior. If you have any questions, be sure to contact the teacher. ProgressBook should be monitored at least weekly.
Grading Scale
St. John’s Elementary School uses the “A” through “F” grading system for Grades 1-6.
The purpose for evaluating the student both in subject matter areas and in character development is that both parents/guardians and teacher(s) may cooperate in helping the student to reach his/her highest potential. If there are any questions, the child’s teacher should be notified.
Grading System And Procedures For Grading

Student Grades
Whether a semester/yearlong course, the only grade that affects a student's accumulative

duration of the course. Credits for courses are granted on a semester basis.
