ATTENDANCE

Regular attendance at school is essential. Parents are reminded that regular and prompt attendance at school is extremely important. An ill child should not be in school, since this may result in his/her health being impaired further and may result in other children being exposed to a communicable disease. However, every effort should be made to have the child in school each day he/she is able to attend. Please remember to notify the office when your child will be absent. 708-479-2106

GRADING SCALE

A=90%-100%
B=80%-89%
C=70%-79%
D=60%-69%
F=59% and below

B.U.G (Bringing Up Grades Awards)

Our students will be recognized for their academic achievement in the second, third, and fourth quarters. Students who receive straight A's will earn a "Golden Bug" award. Those who earn all A's and B's will be given a "Silver Bug" award and any student that brings up a grade without another grade dropping will receive a "Bronze Bug" award.


HOMEWORK

Time allocations for each grade are estimates based on what most children need to devote to their assignments. The following is a guideline for the amount of time that should be spent on homework per grade level, not including special projects or unfinished work from the day.

1st grade - 10 minutes
2nd grade - 20 minutes
3rd grade - 30 minutes
4th grade - 40 minutes
