Not an alternative, but a clear choice!
Report cards provide a permanent record of the student’s achievement. It is a device available to the students and parents for keeping a progressive record. Report cards are issued every nine weeks; however, only the final average of the course is recorded on the cumulative record of the student.
If a student should have an error on his report card, he should contact the teacher immediately for appropriate changes, especially if a class is omitted. If the student should have an “I” on his report card, the teacher should be consulted for the deficiency that indicates his work is incomplete. If an “I” is not removed from the student’s report card, it automatically becomes an “F” on the next 9-week report.
PHILOSOPHY
St. Joseph School believes that its primary concern is the Catholic education of its students. In its service to the young men and women of this area, it attempts to provide an atmosphere which stresses Catholic values while challenging students to become self-disciplined, responsible, self-motivated, and well adjusted individuals.
The curriculum is designed to meet the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, and social needs of students. The academic program attempts to develop thinking skills, reasoning skills, and decision-making skills necessary for students to grow into mature adults capable of making positive contribution to society.
By establishing an atmosphere where Christian values are practiced, taught and developed, there is a desire to model a Christian community for students to continue living throughout their lives.
NON- DISRIMINATORY POLICY
St. Joseph School admits students of any race, color, gender, religion, national, or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at St. Joseph School. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national, or ethnic origin in administration of its education policies, admission policies, scholarship or loan programs, athletic or other school administered programs.
