ACADEMIC GUIDE
A sound and relevant academic curriculum forms the foundation of Saint Louis Schools college preparatory
program. This Academic Guide and Course Catalog outlines the various course offerings that constitute the
academic program for grades 6 through 12.
ADVISORY (HOMEROOM)
The homeroom program serves as the primary vehicle for communicating and developing a unified school
culture. It also functions as a focal point for the collection and distribution of information and materials.
Homerooms are categorized by grade levels and homeroom rosters are generally assigned alphabetically by
student surnames. All students are assigned to homerooms and attendance is mandatory. When attending
homeroom-based activities, such as assemblies and Masses, students are to report to the area designated
to their homeroom. Absence from Homeroom will be treated as an unexcused absence.
REPORT CARDS & PROGRESS REPORTS
Grades are available online to students and parents/guardians throughout and at the completion of each
quarter. Access to grades is through the Educate parent portal. Parents should check the portal for updates
to their childs grades. Teachers enter grades weekly. Report cards are made available during the academic
year through the Educate parent portal or emailed digital documents at the request of parent or guardian
to either view or print at their convenience. The hard copy year-end final report card is mailed to all
families.
Students are expected to consult with their counselor and parents/guardians during the pre-registration
process to ensure that their course of study provides the best possible path to support their post-secondary
plans.
Preliminary registration for continuing students: held mid-spring for the upcoming school year
Registration for new students: coordinated by the Director of Admissions and the Counseling
Services Guidance Department
Communication
Timely and accurate communication ensures that students, parents/guardians and teachers share a
common understanding of student progress. Parents and guardians are encouraged to contact counselors
and/or teachers at any time during the course of the school year.
GRADING POLICY
Students are expected to put forth maximum effort and take full advantage of opportunities for moral,
physical, and intellectual growth. Grades measure student progress and provide parents, teachers, colleges,
and employers with information regarding student performance.
Grades help teachers communicate the progress regarding the knowledge, concepts and skills students
have learned in relation to course expectations and objectives. Departmental and individual teacher

grading practices are outlined in the course syllabi. Parents and students who have questions should first
contact the teacher, then the academic counselor for clarification. The Vice Principal or Principal may be

standards and course expectations.
B
Student work goes beyond the basics and demonstrates consistent mastery of curriculum
standards and course expectations.
C
Student work meets minimum expectations, satisfies course requirements, and is sufficient
for continued study in the discipline.
D
Student work approaches minimum expectations and demonstrates below average
understanding of curriculum standards and course expectations.
F
Student work is insufficient to demonstrate understanding of the curriculum standards and
course expectations. (A student who earns a grade of F may not automatically repeat the

grade points for the purpose of academic eligibility requirements. The student must make up
this work within two weeks from the end of the quarter, during which time he may be
ineligible for all extra-curricular activities contingent upon GPA calculations. Failure to make
up the incomplete work may result in an F for the course.
