Record Keeping

Teachers are required to keep a record of the following:

  • Attendance and Tardies: All classes must keep attendance and tardies through FACTS. In the event of an emergency drill, teachers must have the Teacher Emergency Procedures binder with them and be prepared to identify a missing student as either in attendance or absent for the day.
  • Lesson Plans and Course Syllabi: Teachers are expected to plan each week, quarter and semester for the subjects that they teach. The Administration will examine these weekly throughout the school year. On occasion, the HOS may examine these as well. Faculty must submit their lesson plans and assignments by the designated day and time for their department. Syllabi for Logic and Rhetoric School classes must be distributed to students at the beginning of each term.
  • Grades: Teachers are to keep a record of the student grades. These are to be posted on FACTS for second grade and above.
  • Disciplinary Actions: Teachers are to keep a record of any consequences that they give to a student. This record is to be kept confidential. However, it may be very useful in parent conferences to review any disciplinary action taken during the reporting period. Teachers in Grammar School must enter a daily behavior grade in FACTS for all students.
  • Copies of At-Risk Reports and Report Cards.
  • At-Risk Reports: Teachers must prepare at-risk reports for students struggling academically and/or behaviorally. These should be completed professionally and legibly, with a copy maintained of all unsatisfactory/failing reports or emails sent home during the year. These reports are sent home by each school administration office on the date designated on the school calendar.
