Report Card & Promotion Criteria

Student promotion is based on student achievement and academic performance as they progress successfully through the essential curriculum. Recognizing that all children do not learn or develop at the same rate, our education policy provides for differentiated instruction for those students who require it. Parents are to be notified when a child is having trouble mastering certain skills and may not be promoted despite intervention. A student, who passes all subjects or fails only two of the seven core (major) subjects for the year will be promoted.

A student who fails three core subjects, can be promoted based on evaluation given by Care Team and with intention.
