Report
Cards Halfway through each quarter, students receive either a progress
report or an interim report. Interims must be signed and returned
to the teacher. Report cards are issued every
nine weeks on a schedule determined at the beginning of
each school year. Please review and sign each report card and schedule
a meeting if you would
like to discuss it with your child's teacher. Below is the grading procedure at Green:

End of Grade Tests (EOGs) Students in third through eighth grade must take the EOGs in reading and
math at the end of each school year. Additionally, fourth grade students must take the state writing test in February. You will receive a report of your child's
performance in these tests at the end of each school year with a score
corresponding to a level 1, 2, 3 or 4.
If
your child does not obtain a 3 or higher, he or she
will have two more opportunities to pass the test. It is
very
important
that you and your child take this test
seriously because if he or she does not pass, the principal will decide whether
or not your child will be retained.

Academic
Programs We have several academic programs in place to help our students
be successful. We have two reading specialists for kindergarten,
first and second grade students as well as a seperate reading specialist
for third through fifth grade students. The
Fast ForWord program is
a software-based system that helps students with listening, reading
and language skills. Third through fifth grade students who
need help passing the End of Grade Tests (EOGs) can go to the
Accelerated Learner Program (ALP). Students who qualify
may take part in the Academically
Gifted (AG) program. All these
programs are free. Additionally, the Discovery
Program, run by the PTA, is a three-day science program
that costs between $65 and $75.
Retention A student can be retained he or she does make good enough grades or does
not pass the End of Grade tests (EOGs). A letter will be sent home to
let you know ahead of time if there is a chance that a student may be retained. Parents should be aware of how their child is doing in school and if he or she is doing his or her homework. In case your child is not doing well, you may schedule a Parent-Teacher conference and speak with the teacher to learn how you can help your child be successful in school.
