Grading Scale. Students will be assessed in a variety of ways as a part of the academic program at St. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Catholic School. The following percentages and letter grades have been set by the Diocese of Nashville: Homework is issued by the teachers on a daily basis depending on the varying needs of the class and students. Homework is an essential part of the learning process. Study and review are as vital and necessary as written work. Parents should provide proper conditions in the home, and as far as possible, a specific time wherein assignments can be done efficiently and accurately. If a student fails to turn in an assignment, a homework notice will be issued. Homework assignments are written on the board in each homeroom. All students are expected to have an assignment notebook for homework. It is the responsibility of the student to make up any work that is missed due to absence. When a student is ill all homework assignments, as assigned by the teacher, are expected to be completed. Usually a period of two days is given for completion of homework. However, more time may be allotted for extended absences. Parents should make teachers aware of any such extenuating circumstances. Parents are strongly encouraged to pick up books and assignments when a student must be absent. All assignment requests must be called in to the office before 10:00 a.m. Books and assignments may be picked up from the school office between 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. Students who consistently choose to not complete homework and assignments will be subject to a Parent-Teacher-Principal conference.
