Academic Responsibilities (Full Academic Curriculum can be found in our Student Handbook)
Our school encourages all students to reach their fullest potential through the academic program.
Each student is responsible for the timely and satisfactory completion of projects, class work, and homework. Grades on tests and projects should be commensurate with the student‟s ability.
A student who does not fulfill his/her academic responsibilities will be placed on academic probation during which time the evaluation of the student‟s progress is monitored.
Conditions and Consequences of Academic Probation
- The parent(s)/guardian(s) and student will confer with the administration and the classroom teacher. The teacher will outline the student‟s program for improvement.
- The teacher will inform the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the student‟s progress. The process will follow the stated format: parent contact; grades posted on gradelink; periodic meetings with the student; report cards
- If a student is successful in meeting his/her academic responsibilities, the student will be removed from academic probation and the parent/guardian will be notified in writing.
- If the student is unsuccessful in meeting his/her academic responsibilities, the administration will review the student‟s continued enrollment in the school.
Accreditation
- MMR is accredited through the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
Classroom Assignments and Placements
Teachers collaborate in each grade to determine the most beneficial placement for all students, with regard to each child‟s promotion. Teachers‟ professional observations help guide their assessment of where each child will best thrive. The observation and collaboration processes take considerable time and are carefully evaluated.
Teacher input is essential to assignments and placements, and their efforts are reviewed with the administration. Each child‟s welfare is treated with the highest regard. This process will be followed for each promotion list. Parent requests, while taken into consideration, will not be the determining factor for classroom placement of children.
Class Participation
Students are expected to:
- be attentive and respectful to school staff
- show respect and concern for other students
- actively participate in class by responding orally or in writing as circumstances dictate
