Grading Policy

31R052 John C. Thompson School Grading Policy

 

We believe each student has the right to be a productive, proud, participating member of a family, community and society, and that all students deserve a just quality of life. School is a place where students are safe, nurtured, valued and are involved in opportunities and experiences that maximize their potential. It is a place where all constituents work in harmony receiving all necessary supports.  At PS 52, we value above all else, the importance of a partnership with parents, that supports and respects their aspirations for their children.  It is our collective responsibility to equip all students with skills that maximum their independence and enable them to be college and career ready in the 21st century.
