The North Hills School District will now receive paper report cards only twice a year, followig a unanimous vote by the school board to pass Policy No.
213.
This is a change from the previous policy, which had four marking periods.
Each marking period previously was worth 22.
5 percent of a student’s
cumulative grade, with the last 10 percent coming from a class final.
Under the new system, each semester will be worth 45 percent of a student’s grade, with 10 percent coming from the class final.
While the numbers have changed, according to the board, the math still works out the same, and the change will not have a great effect on students.
The new teachers contract, which went into effect in late August, necessitates the report card change, officials said.
Scrapping two report card
distributions allows administrators to eliminate two clerical days that teachers have used to prepare quarterly grades.
