Expected School-wide Learning Results

Our Expected School-wide Learning Results (ESLR’s) represent a condensed version of our Statement of Philosophy and Educational Purpose.  In order to replicate our ESLR’s and to maintain a commitment to them, we have adopted the acrostic “GBS”.  Each letter represents the future of Grace Brethren School students’ success as they matriculate to the next level of learning and life.

Growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Building competence through academic excellence.

Serving Christ through a lifetime of obedience.

Report Cards 

Report cards will be sent home every six weeks.  The six and twelve week report cards are progress reports only while permanent transcript grades are sent home at the end of each semester (approx. 18 weeks).  Report cards are also available online through GraceNet. The report card will not include a conduct grade, but will include attendance information.  Eligibility for athletics and other co-curricular activities is determined by each 6-week grading period.

Final Examinations

Comprehensive finals are given at the end of each semester.  The final may be worth no less than 10% and no more than 20% of the students’ overall grade.  A special exam schedule will be published near the end of each semester.  Seniors and eighth grade students take second semester finals early. 

All financial obligations must be current in order for students to take final exams at the end of either semester.

Promotion Requirements for Eighth Graders:

In order to participate in the graduation ceremony an Eighth grade student must have:

·  All financial obligations must be current in order for any student to take final exams at the end of either Semester and to participate in the graduation ceremony.

·  Completed successfully all core classes, Bible, English, Math, Social Studies, Science, and Physical Education with a 2.0 GPA.  ·  Any student receiving an average grade of F for any core subject for the semester must attend summer school before promotion to the ninth grade.  The student must be enrolled in the summer school program to meet this deficiency in order to participate in the graduation ceremony.  

·  Any student failing three (3) or more core classes in either the seventh or eighth grade will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony.

Student Records

Student school records are kept in the school office.  According to the California State Department of Education:

Parents of currently enrolled or former pupils have an absolute right to access any and all pupil records related to these    children, which are maintained by school districts or private schools.  The editing or withholding of any such records, except as [specifically] provided for [by law], … is prohibited.         (Section 49069)  

Parents who wish to view their student’s school records must make an appointment with a school administrator to view those records.  

Official transcript requests need to be made in writing and accompanied by the $5 fee.
