Student Progress Reports Trinity Academy evaluates and reports student progress in several ways. Tri-semester report cards are provided to students and parents, Parent/Teacher conferences are used for reporting and discussing progress and annual testing is administered and reported per state and archdiocese requirements. *Kindergarten students receive a Progress Report in January and June. Letter grades are given for academic subjects and a report on the child’s personal development is also provided. Parent/Teacher Conferences Trinity Academy provides Parent/Teacher Conferences for each student. Meetings will be mutually scheduled between the teacher and the parent. The teacher will send home a sign-up form for the parent to choose a convenient time to meet with the teacher. This conference allows for individual student issues to be addressed. The teacher will provide information on the student’s progress and will allow discussion time for the parent to voice any concerns or have any questions answered. (See the school calendar for specific dates for Parent/Teacher Conferences.) Report CardsTrinity Academy progress reports are based on a tri-semester schedule. Student’s progress will be recorded, and provided to students and parents in the form of a “report card” three times per year. The report provides a record of the student’s academic achievement in all appropriate subject areas for their grade level. It also provides a record of the student’s social and developmental progress. Annual TestingTrinity Academy provides annual testing of the 1st through 8th grades, per New Jersey State and Newark Archdiocese requirements. The test administered is the Terra Nova CAT/6, standardized test. (Need Link) The Terra Nova CAT/6 is a standardized norm-referenced test used to provide information about students’ achievement in various areas of the curriculum. When standardized tests are administered, the scores compare your student’s performance with all other students who took the same test in the national norm group. The test measures the basic content and skills that are most common to curricula throughout the country. It cannot possibly measure, nor should it attempt to measure the full curriculum of a particular classroom or school. ***Test results will be mailed to parents and any questions can be addressed with the teachers.
