Achievement Testing
The ITBS will be administered in the spring of the year. Individual scores will be analyzed to determine students’ strength areas and challenging areas. Additionally, group scores will be analyzed to help CGS track academic progress. CGS also realizes that achievement testing is only one way to assess student progress. Testing provides only a small window in which to view a child’s progress and success.

Incompletes
Students may receive an incomplete due to illness or excused absence. An incomplete will be changed to the default grade as reported by the teacher unless course work is satisfactorily finished. Upon return to school, students will be given one school day for every one day of excused absence. Students and parents are to take the initiative in making the arrangements and completing all incomplete work.

Late Work Policy
We want our students to experience success in every way possible here at CGS. We consider students to be successful academically when they have completed their work well and when it comes in on time. We believe in Mastery Learning and that each child should have the opportunity to correct their work to raise their grades. We also know that it is hard to determine Mastery Learning when the work simply does not get turned in on time or at all. To encourage students to turn in their work on time and in order for the teachers to track this behavior, in grades 1-4, work turned in late will only receive half credit. In preparing students in grades 5-8 for Academy, no credit will be given for late work. Please note this, and encourage your child to complete their work well and on time.

Transcripts/Records
Cumulative records, report cards, and diplomas will be issued only when the student’s account is paid in full.

Unsatisfactory Grades
Students receiving Ds, Fs and/or Incompletes for any grading period may be subject to loss of privileges/trips, academic probation, loss of grade promotion, suspension and/or expulsion. Parents are encouraged to modify their child’s program in a manner that will encourage improved academic performance. Any student receiving two or more Ds or Fs in a given school year may be subject to retention for their current grade and/or promoted on probationary status. If a student fails a required course, effort should be made by parents to remove this deficiency as soon as possible. Deficiencies in course work may be made up by enrolling and passing in an approved correspondence course.
