REPORT CARDS, PROGRESS REPORTS, AND CONFERENCES

A student may be promoted only on the basis of academic achievement or demonstrated proficiency in the subject matter of the course or grade level.  To earn credit in a course, a student must receive a grade of at least 70 based on course-level or grade-level TEKS.  Written reports of your child’s grades or performance and absences in each class or subject are issued to you at least once every three (3) weeks.

At the end of the first three weeks of a grading period, you will be given written notice if your child’s performance in any course in English language arts, mathematics, science, or social studies is near or below 70, or is below the expected level of performance.  If your child receives a grade lower than 70 in any class or subject during a grading period, you will be requested to schedule a conference with the teacher of that class or subject. 

The report card or unsatisfactory progress report will state whether tutorials are required for a student who receives a grade lower than 70 in a class or subject.

Report cards and unsatisfactory progress reports must be signed by the parent and should be returned to the school within ten (10) days. 

Teachers follow grading guidelines approved by the campus principal that have been designed to reflect each student’s academic achievement for the grading period, semester, or course.  State law provides that a test or course grade issued by a teacher cannot be changed unless the Board determines that the grade was arbitrary or contains an error, or the teacher did not follow the District’s grading policy.  The Board’s decision is not subject to appeal.  See policies at EIA. 

REMINDER

 Written reports of students’ grades and absences shall be issued to parents at least once every six weeks.  At the end of the first three weeks of a grading period, parents will be notified if the student’s grade average is near or below 70.  If your child receives a grade lower than 70 in any class or subject during a grading period, you will be requested to schedule a conference with the teacher of that class or subject.  Tutorials are required for a student who receives a grade below 70 in a class or subject.   Parents will be notified when students need to attend tutorials.  (See Board Policy EHBD-Local)
