Progress Reports
	LOWER SCHOOL The Lower School academic year is divided into four quarters. Second through fourth grade parents receive a written progress report each quarter. Pre-K 4, kindergarten, and first grade parents receive a narrative overview of their child’s progress the first quarter and written reports the remainder of the year. Pre-K3 parents receive narrative reports at conferences throughout the year. Pre-K through second grade reports use subjective assessment terminology to describe students’ progress as beginning, progressing, secure, most times, some times, not yet, satisfactory, needs improvement, and unsatisfactory.

	Grading System
	Letter grades for grades 3 and 4 correspond to the following numerical values: A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 (grade 3) 65-69 (grade 4) F Below 60 (grade 3) Below 65 (grade 4)

	Passing to the Next Grade
