Student Progress & Report Cards
The primary communication device for student assignments, grades, classroom information, links for classroom activities and resources at Our Lady of Lourdes is via Rediker PlusPortals. All parents of LG-8th grade students, as well as students in grades 6-8, have access to Rediker PlusPortals.
Parents are encouraged to check on student progress in PlusPortals throughout each quarter. Progress reports are generated and sent home as needed through PlusPortals.
Report cards are issued quarterly for students in first through eighth grades. Students in Little Group, Prekindergarten and Kindergarten receive semester reports and mid-semester progress reports. Report cards are sent home with students. Reports are also accessible on PlusPortals.
Report card grades are reflective of the accumulated body of work of each student during the previous quarter. Grades are meant to be reflective of the student’s progress toward mastery of the objectives and standards in each grade level subject. Grades on the report card are not meant to report unsatisfactory behavior or discipline issues. They do, however, reflect the impact that behavior or absences may have on the student’s progress toward mastery of the subject material.
A grade of "D" in an academic subject area is of significant concern. Parents and teachers should be in communication when a student is struggling at this level. Keeping up with student progress in PlusPortals, report cards, phone calls, emails, and conferences are ways to ensure that parents and teachers are all working with the student toward the goal of academic success.
