Teachers shall evaluate student progress, report grades that represent the student’s academic achievement, and communicate official academic progress to students and parents in a timely manner through the electronic grading portal.
The Superintendent or his/her designee shall have the responsibility for developing and implementing a uniform procedure for evaluating and communicating student progress.
