Report
Cards
Report cards are
issued every nine (9) weeks. They
are to be signed by a parent and
returned to the homeroom teacher.
This does not mean that the parent
approves or disapproves of the
report, but that he/she has seen
it. If a report card is lost, this
should be reported by a note from
the parent to the office. A
duplicate will be sent home for
signing.
The
administration and faculty feel that
class participation is a vital part
of the student learning process.
Therefore, students who miss an
excessive number of days, and whom
teachers feel do not meet the
minimum competency level, will
receive a failure for that course.
Academic Restriction
If students
receive two failing grades in a
marking period, in major subjects
they will be placed on academic
restriction. Students whose names
appear on the restricted list, are
restricted from clubs and any
extra-curricular activities.
Athletic restrictions are enforced
for games only. Students may
practice with their team but may not
participate in games until they are
released from academic restriction.
Progress will be
re-evaluated every two weeks.
Students who have improved to the
administrator's and teacher's
satisfaction will be released from
restriction.

Testing
| The Saint Clair Area
School District administers
standardized tests to
students in kindergarten
through eight. The results
of these tests provide a
continuing record of each
student's progress. Test
results serve as aids to
teachers and other school
personnel in planning more
effective instruction.
Scores on these tests are
reviewed carefully and
maintained as long as the
student attends school in
this district. When a
student transfers to another
district, the parent is
notified of the transfer of
permanent record information
to the new school district.
No individual or agency,
other than school personnel,
is permitted to inspect
student records without
written permission from the
parent or guardian. A parent
or guardian may examine his
child's record file by
making arrangements with the
school principal. |

| Parents and, in some
cases, students have the
right to see, correct,
and control access to
student records by the
Family Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974
commonly known as the
Buckley Amendment. |
| In accordance with
this law, Saint Clair
has a Pupil Records
Policy which
outlines parent and
student rights. Copies
of the policy are
available in the school
office. Under the
Buckley Amendment,
parents of students
under the age of
eighteen (18) and all
students who are over
eighteen (18), are
attending a
post-secondary school,
or are married have
access to view the
educational records of
the student and also
have the right to
correct any information
that is false or
misleading. |
| The parent or
eligible student also
controls the disclosure
of the student's record
or any information from
it to other parties.
Saint Clair will not
release any data on a
student without the
consent of the parent or
eligible student except
to school officials with
legitimate educational
interest, to other
schools the student
attends, and to certain
other officials as
required by law. |
| The only other time
information is released
is in the case of
directory information.
Directory information is
information related to a
student that is
routinely released by
the school for such
purposes as honor rolls,
athletic programs,
student awards, and
student activities. |
