TESTING

Each student is given an achievement test to determine progress and areas of weakness (ITBS). Eighth grade students will take the Explore Test. This test is required for all 8th grade students to graduate from St. Ann's School.

REPORTING TO PARENTS

Assessment reports are issued quarterly to students. Parents are advised to call the School Office in order to schedule a before or after school conference. Teachers are very scheduled during the school day, but are always available, by appointment, before or after school to discuss your child's progress. Parent-Teacher Conferences are held at the end of the first, second and third quarters. Weekly Grade Checks are available for Middle School students upon parent request. Assessments are also sent home in the middle of the quarter.

HOME/SCHOOL RELATIONSHIPS
The home is the chief agency for the Christian training of the child. The Catholic school serves as a powerful aid to and extension of the Catholic home in the work of the Christian training of young people. The Faculty and Administration of St. Ann's School share the spirit and the purpose of the Catholic family. When the home and the school are both Christ-centered, the child is receiving the best education.

INCOMPLETE ACADEMIC WORK

Eighth graders will have completed all course work prior to receiving a diploma and final grades/transcripts. Students will return to school following graduation to complete all work.
Students in the fourth through seventh grade will return to school after the official end of the semester until all course work is complete.
