| 4 - Working Above Expectations | G - Very Good |
| 3 - Meeting Expectations | S - Satisfactory |
| 2 - Working Towards Expectations | U - Unsatisfactory |

Secondary School Academic Reporting Policy
The Secondary school operates on a two semester system. There are two reporting periods on a student’s official school transcript - the end of the First Semester (December) and the end of the Second Semester (June).
Teachers will contact parents if they feel that a student is struggling. Parents are encouraged to contact the teachers, counselors, or the administration any time they have concerns about their child. Teachers update grades on Powerschool regularly and can be accessed by students and parents at any point during the semester.
