Class
Requirement and Procedures Form
At the beginning of a course, the teacher will provide students and parents
with a Course Requirements and Procedures Form (download sample here).
Information on this form will include the expectations and requirements
of the course as well as the procedures used in determining a grade.
The form must be approved by the principal before being distributed.
Teachers are encouraged to collaborate in developing the Course Requirements
and Procedures Form.
The teacher will provide the student with a Course Requirements and Procedures
Form using the following guidelines:
A.
The teacher must prepare a Course Requirements
and Procedures Form and distribute it
to every student by the fifth day that
the student enters the course.
B. The form must be typed or completed in pen and proofread carefully.
C. The teacher must fill in the name of the course as listed in the
Master Course Catalog at both the top and the bottom of the form.
D. The teacher must check the appropriate boxes on the form.
E. The "Course Topics" section must address the objectives in the appropriate
curriculum guide.
F. The "Course Requirements" section should include special assignments
and requirements that must be completed for the student to pass the
course including procedures for making up work. Examples of requirements
include types of homework, material for clothing classes, number of
book reports, "dressing out" in physical education, science projects,
journals, class notes, use of blue or black ink, etc.
G. The "Grading Procedures" section must state the specific process
to be used in determining marking period grades and the final grade
and include procedures for make-up work.
H. The completed form must be taken home by the student.
I. The student and parent/guardian will sign, detach, and return the
bottom of the form to the teacher.
J. The teachers will collect and file the returned signatures.
K. If any of the requirements or procedures change before the completion
of that course, a new form must be prepared by the teacher, following

Interim
Report
A.
The intent of the interim report is to
provide information to students and parents/guardians
about the student's progress in academic
and non-academic areas. Teachers may
use computer generated reports or the
district interim report form. Teachers
may have students fill out the top part
of the district interim report form.
B. The interim report will be completed for every student at the designated
mid-point of each nine-week grading period. The cumulative numeric
grade must be reported on the interim report.
C. If there is a possibility of a student's not passing or not receiving
credit for a course, teachers are required by Board policy to notify
parents using the last interim report before the final marking period
report card. These interim reports must be mailed home.
D. Teachers will keep a hard copy of each interim report for record.

Conferences
Communication with students and parents is essential. Schools communicate
by way of the normal reports, but telephone calls and individual
conferences are the most effective means by which understanding and
student improvement can occur.
