The school office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Reporting Academic Progress
Student success at Roanoke Catholic is rooted in a triangular
partnership among student, teacher, and parent. Clear and regular
communication among these parties is essential to sound academic
achievement. Teachers endeavor to keep parents informed of student
progress throughout the year.
Report
cards are issued at the end of each quarter. Interims (assessments of
mid-term progress) are also issued quarterly. The parent/guardian must
sign the Interims and return to the subject teacher within two days.
Other communications from teachers may include test papers to be
signed, written notices, telephone calls, as well as use of e-mail.
Report cards for the first quarter are picked up at the school by the
parent or guardian. Appointments for parent-teacher conferences may be
made through the office for this conference day.
The
school believes that a student’s family should not be taken unaware if
their son or daughter has earned a failing grade for work during an
academic quarter. If a student is at risk of failing a subject for the
quarter, the interim report indicates the problem; also, a teacher may
communicate with the family any academic jeopardy at any time. The
school also encourages parent to communicate directly and actively with
individual teachers throughout the year to strengthen communication and
the partnership between the school and the home.
Conferences
Parent-teacher
conferences may be set to review progress at the end of the first
quarter. Conferences at the close of other quarters may be scheduled at
the discretion of parents or teachers. In addition, conferences may be
initiated at any time by parents, teachers, the guidance counselor,
academic advisor or the principal. Parents are encouraged to contact
teachers concerning their children’s performance can arrange
appointments by telephone (982-3532) or by letter.
