Each K5-2nd grade student must do one oral presentation per school year. The teacher may decide what topic/assignment they will present on and use the provided K5-2nd Oral Presentation Rubric to send home feedback on each student’s presentation.

All K3-2nd teachers will complete and send home a Progress Report twice a school year–once at the end of the Fall semester (Week 12) and once at the end of the Spring semester (Week 24).

Citizenship: The student follows co-op and classroom behavioral expectations. This includes obeying and respecting authority and treating one’s classmates with kindness and courtesy.

Note: Each student will start the semester with a 100% grade for Citizenship. The teacher will deduct one or more points per incident where the student demonstrates poor citizenship and a JE message will be sent to the parent describing the deduction. For example…Student lost one point today when he was talking excessively during the science video.

Participation: The student shows effort in the classroom by taking responsibility for one’s own learning. This includes being attentive in class and contributing to the whole group, small group, and individual completion of tasks.

Note: Each student will start the semester with a 100% grade for Participation. The teacher will deduct one or more points per incident where the student demonstrates poor participation and a JE message will be sent to the parent describing the deduction. For example…Student did not bring any pencils to class.

Homework: The student completes homework assignments in a timely manner with attention to effort and accuracy.

Oral Presentation Project: (if applicable) The student demonstrates knowledge in an area of study and presents the findings clearly.

Tests/Quizzes: (if applicable) The student completes graded assignments with accuracy.

A report card can be generated by the Jupiter Grades system for each course taken at UHC. The parent is responsible for printing the student report card, sending it to their accountability group, and recording this grade in each student’s portfolio/school records. No permanent records will be kept or reported to schools or accountability associations by UHC.

How can I view, print, or save my student’s report card or progress report?

Login to your Jupiter Ed parent account. In the left column, click on Report Card. This will display the student’s Report Card (Middle School or High School) or Progress Report (Elementary School). To print or save it, right-click on the screen, and choose Print from the pop-up menu. Send to your printer or choose to save as a PDF.

• Homework: Any homework assignment that is turned in late will still be accepted for the completion grade and the teacher will replace the 0 with a grade for the current semester. Grades will be closed out after the last day of the current semester and cannot be changed after that.
• Tests/Quizzes: Students will have 10 days to take any test/quiz that is assigned. After those 10 days, the quiz/test cannot be opened again.

In the event of illness or other unexpected absence, parent and student must communicate with the teacher on the day of the absence to make a plan for turning in tests, quizzes, projects, or homework due on the day of the illness.

Work due on the date of the absence is due as assigned unless arrangements are made with the teacher for an extended due date. Lack of communication with teachers concerning an absence will result in the application of the late work policy as stated above.

Students who miss a class are responsible for acquiring assignments/handouts and tests/quizzes that were handed out during the absence in order to turn them in on the due date; otherwise, the assignments will be subject to the above late policy.

If a student will have a planned absence, the parent and/or student must make prior arrangements with the teacher at least a week (preferably two weeks) before the planned absence.

Tests and quizzes may not be re-taken by a student unless the instructor deems it necessary for the entire class to retake the test or quiz.

Extra credit opportunities will not be given to individual students. If such opportunities are offered, they will be offered to the entire class.
