Maintaining accurate records is a very important responsibility. If you later decide to enroll in another school, records and completed tests will be vital.
We recommend that you, as a parent, record grades in a file of your own. Due to the possibility of grades being lost in the mail, this is also important to our record keeping.
The Student Progress Chart is an 8 ½ x 11 card with subjects listed on the left for each progress report period. At the beginning of the academic year, use a large, brightly colored, felt-tip marker to print the students name in large letters neatly across the top of the chart. Printing must be neat if the student is to keep the chart neat. Throughout the academic year when the student successfully completes a PACE, a star is placed opposite the PACE subject in the proper column representing the week in which the PACE Test was passed. School of Tomorrow stars are color coded to match the color of PACEs:
Math . ..Yellow
English ...Red
Social Studies . Green
Science ..Blue
Word Building .. .Purple
All other . .Silver
No other marks are to be made on the chart. You may wish to insert the chart in a plastic page protector, which helps keep the chart neat and clean.
As insignificant as a little star may seem to you, they represent tangible achievement and reward when the student places it on the Student Progress Chart. Achievement and reward are almost synonymous, for they both contain built-in motivational value.
The Activity and Academic Log Key should be filled in on a daily basis using the letter codes. This is your official attendance record, and it is very important to keep this document current. Return it to Heritage Home School Academy at the end of the academic year.
A Progress Report will be sent each quarter. We will record PACE numbers and test scores in the appropriate boxes and average the scores.
