RELIEF TIME Each elementary employee, including special subject teachers shall have at least a ten (10) minute relief period in both the morning and afternoon each day in a manner to be determined by the employees and immediate supervisor in each school. An employee shall not be removed from that assignment to supervise the students of another employee for such relief periods unless such relief periods cannot otherwise be provided, in which case not more than one such assignment per day shall be given. REPORT CARDS Student report cards are to comply with . All teachers who work with a child are to input grades onto Pinnacle. If a child receives instruction in a subject from a teacher other than the assigned classroom teacher, that teacher is to give the child's grade for that subject. All areas of the report card are to be properly completed, printed and submitted by the deadline provided on the CAB Conference Calendar. Report Cards are submitted to the Assistant Principal to review before they are sent home. SPECIAL NOTE: stipulates that a student must be in attendance twenty-five (25) days in a Broward County School during a quarter in order to receive grades for that period. If a student transfers from another Broward County School and has been in attendance for 13 days and enrolls in Maplewood Elementary and is in attendance for 12 days of the same quarter, we are required to give a report card. RETENTION Decisions concerning promotion or retention are to be made after due consideration by the teacher and the principal. The policy of our school system is that total growth of the individual child forms the basis for promotion practices. Emphasis shall be placed yearly on the mastery of skills in reading, writing and mathematics. Likewise, student size, maturity and parent attitude must also be considered before recommendation for retention. Parents must be notified of the possibility for retention by May 1. This notification is to be done via a parent/teacher conference. This conversation is to be noted on the parent/teacher conference form each time it is discussed. Promotional outlook is indicated on report cards beginning in the second quarter. The Child Study Team will convene to discuss the reasons for retention. The teacher is to actively participate in this committee. The committee's responsibility is to provide support and additional information to the teacher as he-she makes the decision to promote or retain a student.
