Assessment
Assessment of academic progress is based on the student's daily class work, class participation, homework, tests, evaluations, and projects.

Standardized testing is conducted annually to assess student progress in relation to other students of the same age and/or grade nationally.

Interim Reports
Parents of students in Grades Pre-K thru 2 receive a written interim report of their child’s progress midway through each trimester. 

In Grades 3-8, parents/guardians who have been granted access to their child’s grades through Power School may routinely view their child’s progress electronically. For parents/guardians who do not have access to Power School, the school will provide a mid-trimester report of the student’s progress if requested.   Parents contact the Power School Coordinator to request these reports.

Interims are signed by parents and returned within two days of receipt. 

Progress Reports
At the end of each trimester, written reports are issued for students in Pre K and Kindergarten, and computer-generated progress reports are issued for students in Grades 1-8.  First and Second Trimester Progress Report envelopes are to be signed and returned by the parent/guardian within one week.  The Third Trimester Progress Report is mailed one to two weeks after school closes.

Parent Conferences
A mandatory parent/teacher conference is scheduled in the first trimester of the school year for each child. Additional parent conferences are scheduled at the request of the parent or teacher as necessary.

Promotion
Students are promoted to the next grade upon successful completion of all subjects in a given school year.  If a student fails to successfully complete the required educational program, after appropriate interventions have been provided, the principal reserves the right to retain the student at the current grade level, or recommend alternative placement.

Students of grades 3-8 who fail two (2) of the four (4) major content subjects will not be promoted.  Major content subjects are language arts, math, science, and social studies.

Students of grades 3-8 who fail one major content subject and/or any number of non-academic subjects must complete remedial work in the subjects failed and meet the promotion requirements/test administered by Mother Seton School before being promoted to the next grade.

Students in grades K-2 who fail to progress in reading or fail to progress in two of the three remaining content areas will not be promoted.

Students who miss 20 or more days of school may be retained.
