STUDENT ASSESSMENT Assessment of performance at Hollyvale towards meeting standards at grade level takes on a variety of forms. Often student’s work and progress is evaluated as a whole in a portfolio; through a special project report or other creative endeavor through observation; or through testing, standardized or otherwise. Teachers send home progress reports; communicating any areas for applause or concern, and keep the lines of communication open and alive throughout the year. Report cards are issued on a trimester basis and are designed to reflect the student’s progress towards meeting stardards in academic areas and responsibility. Parents will be asked to attend one or more parent/teacher conferences during the school year to discuss the student’s progress.
