Besides mid-term progress reports, teachers send weekly tests, quizzes, and additional information home, as needed, to let parents know of his/her student’s work.

After four weeks of each grading period, elementary teachers will evaluate the progress of each student. A progress report will be sent home, to be signed by the parent and returned.

Report Cards are issued at the end of each of the nine weeks.

Principal’s List/Dean’s List: 3.50-4.0 GPA

Honor Roll: 3.49-3.0 GPA

Students will be promoted to the next grade unless several academic grades are unsatisfactory. Unsatisfactory grades consist of "D’s" and "F’s". A student will be retained only after consultation with the parent. Retention is based on several factors, but the most important factor is the student’s welfare. Most retentions take place in grades K5, 1^st and 2^nd, but may be in the higher grades also, and are at the discretion of the school’s academic committee and/or administration.

In order to be promoted to the seventh grade, sixth graders must pass six (6) subjects: two (2) of which must be reading and math. If failed, reading and math must be taken in summer school. To remain at TCS, students must also pass Bible with a "C" or higher.

Due to the nature of the self-contained classes in our elementary school, it is easier to provide more individualized instruction than in a secondary setting. Though some students may pass with a "D" average, this does not mean that they will be successful in our secondary setting with seven different teachers for seven different subjects. The parents of students with poor academic progress in sixth grade will need to meet with the Administrator.
