Grading Overview
Elementary Tardiness When an elementary student( K-5) is tardy more than 5 days per quarter, a meeting with the building principal will be set up to discuss the situation to determine ways to prevent further tardiness. Tardies are extremely disruptive to the classroom, place a strain on office personnel during a very busy time of the day, compromise the security of our campus, and prevent the tardy student from receiving the foundational establishment of the day’ s structure that helps set the tone for the day.
Middle & High School Tardiness For students in Grades 6-12, lockers must be visited before homeroom begins( on the days that they report directly to the McLain building) or after homeroom is dismissed. Students in Grades 6-12 arriving after 8:30 AM are to report to the school office for an admission slip. When a pattern of recurring tardiness is identified, a meeting with the building principal will be set up.
Closed Campus
The Cornerstone Christian School maintains a closed campus through high school. Leaving the school grounds without permission( or a signed permission slip by a parent for a field trip) will result in disciplinary action.
GRADING PROCEDURES
Permanent Records
Permanent records on CCS students are kept in the school offices and include attendance, course grades, standardized test scores, discipline records, and other academic information. This information is not released outside the school without written parental permission( or the graduate’ s written permission once graduated).
Grading Overview
The Cornerstone Christian School is committed to striving for excellence. As a result, policies have been established to evaluate student progress in accordance with goals toward excellence. The evaluation process is designed to inform parents and students, as well as provide a motivational factor. Formal and informal evaluation is an ongoing process. The means of evaluation will vary with the importance and nature of the subject. The evaluation reflects individual progress at the level at which the student is working.
One aspect of evaluation is related to a grading system. It is not the sole method, but it is one of several methods employed to communicate progress to students and parents. The report card provides information about student achievement along with effort, behavior, character, and citizenship observations. Grading standards will be established on a 100-point scale. These grades may be converted( Grades 4-12) to an alphabetical basis for transcripts( Grades 9-12) and the honor rolls( Grades 6-12).
