Updated K-8 Handbook

Please be advised, in keeping with the new Archdiocesan policies, the report card grading system for students in grades 1 – 3 will be as follows:

5:  Consistently exceeded grade level expectations
4:  Consistently achieved grade level expectations
3:  Approaching mastery of grade level expectations
2:  Approaching proficiency toward grade level expectations
1:  Difficulty meeting grade level expectations
I: Incomplete

The 2016-2017 Parent/Student Handbook has been updated to reflect this change (page 11).  In addition, as announced at the end of last year, Saint James School will utilize a “trimester” grading system this year.
