Progress Reports
Each month throughout the school year, Scattergood students and parents receive a narrative evaluation from teachers. These progress reports describe the class content and activities for the month and give detailed feedback on a student's performance and effort in the class.
A student is placed on Academic Alert when it appears he or she may not be at a passing level at the end of a Quarter. Students on Academic Alert are required to attend Supervised Study Hall each evening from 7:30 – 9:00 as well as on Sunday afternoon to ensure they have extra academic support.
