At The New School, we believe that the most important aspect of education is ensuring that students grasp and master the presented material in a positive, supportive environment. We strive to provide our students with sufficient opportunities to learn the material. The following policy on student corrections is designed to help students succeed in this endeavor:

Students in Grades 1-4 who score below 75% on class work or on unit tests are asked to review the assigned material in order to better understand the assignments. Students will then be given the opportunity to correct or repeat the class work or test and grades will be adjusted accordingly.

Students in Grades 1-7 who score below 70% on class work or on unit tests will also be given the opportunity to correct or repeat the class work or test. 

In grades K-2, academic performance and classroom behavior are reported as Excellent, Very good, Satisfactory, Needs to improve, and Unsatisfactory.In 3rd through 7th grade a combination of letter grades and percentages are used for academic performance. Classroom behavior is still reported as in K-2.

Percentage equivalents are as follows:

A (Excellent)  90-100%

B (Very Good)  80-89%

C (Satisfactory)  70-79%

D (Needs to Improve)  60-69%

F (Unsatisfactory)  0-59%
