Report Cards

Report Cards

            We got our report cards on Friday and they give our marks from the progress report. They include our exam marks too which make up 30% of our mark and also our quizzes, tests and assignments. The report cards also have a participation mark which is worth 10% of our grade. The subjects that we are getting graded in are the basics like Math, Science, ELA, Religion, French, Social, Gym/Health, Art or Band. Gym and Health are combined so the mark that you get is the average of both grades put together. We also get a report for ICT but it comes separately attached. We also get a reply sheet to go with our report cards which involves getting our parents to sign it and also filling out a form for which teachers you’d like to meet for parent/teacher interviews.

            The marks that you get for this term also may or may not help you for exams. If you get an average above 80% then you may be exempt from June exams but it also depends on the behavior in class as well.  If you don't get exempt from all exams,you can also be exempt from just one or two exams as well. For example, if you get above 80% in math, you may be exempt from the math exams. If you get above 80% for any subjects, you may be exempt from those exams but you also have to write the exam for the subject that you got under 80% for. An example would be that if you got above 80% for Social, ELA, Math but not Science, you wouldn’t have to write exams for Social, ELA and Math but you would have to write the Science one.
