Reporting Procedures
In grades K-4, report cards are issued twice a year, in February and June. In grades 5-8, four times a year, (in November, February, April, and June) report cards are sent home to parents. At each mid-term, 5-8 teachers send home progress reports to parents. These may be positive reports or reports of work needed. Special education students will receive “Progress Reports” on specialized forms in January and June, which correspond to a student's individual educational plan.
Assessment Information
Tisbury students are assessed in a variety of ways, including informal reading inventories, teacher-made and standardized tests, student presentations and performances. Rubrics and grades are widely used. We rely on multiple assessments to determine a student's final progress in a program of study. Tisbury School students also participate in the statewide Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System.
