Homework<\/strong>
Students will receive homework during the week. It may be unfinished work or an extension of classroom studies. Parents should not need to instruct a child, but be ready to assist when needed. The pupil should be able to understand and complete an assignment in a short time. Drill type activities will be constructed to enable quick completion, while major projects will require more time. All assignments are made for practice, extension, or review. If a child is having difficulty with assignments or spending long periods of time on them, please contact the teacher to discuss the situation.<\/p>

Progress Reports\/Report Cards<\/strong>
Grades reflecting a student\u2019s progress are distributed through report cards every 9 weeks. These grades are a reflection of a child\u2019s mastery of essential elements in the various subjects and are intended to be a gauge of the progress a child is making based on classroom expectations as well as the capabilities of the child.<\/p>

Progress notices are provided to all students in the middle of the nine-week grading period. It is hoped that this progress report will provide the incentive for a student to improve in any problem areas before the official grades are placed on the report card.<\/p>

Parents and students can check grades online using Focus. Parents and Students must have an account to access Focus.<\/p>

Parent Conferences<\/strong>
Parent-teacher conferences happen in October. Additional conferences may be arranged by contacting your student’s teacher. Teachers will make every attempt to work with parents\u2019 schedules.\u00a0<\/p>

Tutoring<\/strong>
In accordance with state law and RISD policies, free tutorial services will be provided for students who are having difficulties. A need for tutoring will be discussed by phone or letter. Before tutoring begins, it will be necessary to sign a Parent Approval Form and arrange for transportation home.\u00a0More info to come on\u00a0tutoring\u00a0for this school year.<\/p>

Duck Tales Newsletter<\/strong>
Weekly school newsletter from the Principal will be emailed out through Smore, typically Friday evenings. Each grade level will also send a weekly email to parents with grade specific news\/academic focuses for the upcoming week (typically Fridays). All parents please check your email regularly.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
