IKE - Promotion and Retention of Students

In evaluating student achievement, each teacher will make use of all available information, including results of teacher-made tests and other measures of skill and content mastery, standardized test results, and teacher observation of student performance.  The Principal will direct and aid teachers in their evaluations and review grade assignments in order to ensure uniformity of evaluation standards.

Students will normally progress annually from grade to grade.  Exceptions may be made when, in the judgment of the professional staff, such exceptions are in the best educational interest of the students involved.  Exceptions will only be made after prior notification and explanation to each student's parents, but the final decision will rest with the building Principal.

No student will be retained who has not been subject to review and discussion by the Instructional Support Team.
