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 steps A-J.

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.
