Secondary School Academics

Weekly Grade Reports

All teachers are required to submit cumulative grades on a weekly basis. This helps teachers; the administration, the academic office and parents monitor student progress over time. Parents are welcome to call for an update at any time, and arrangements can be made to FAX or e-mail weekly grade updates. Students are also welcome to weekly updates to follow their own progress. These grades play an important role at The Bythiah Academy, as they help us identify and correct any student deficiencies during the semester.

Eighth Period

Every day, teachers record students who are receiving C- or below on an 8th period list. During PM homeroom, students are assigned to that appropriate tutor for an additional class session, (8th Period). This 8th period session allows teachers to focus on individual student learning needs. If more than one teacher requests a student then the student will be assigned to a tutor the following day. Teachers will continue to request students until the student is passing with a C or better. Teachers can request any student for 8th period regardless of their grade and students can volunteer to meet with teachers for additional help.

Study Tables

Student progress is monitored daily and grades are posted weekly. Teachers post current grades every Thursday. Parents/guardians may call the school for grade results on Friday. Students are assigned to study tables based on their effort and grades. Study tables commence at 7:00pm and end at 10:00pm seven days a week. Student study table assignments may vary from student to student depending on the grades and the number of classes in question. Tutors from Bythiah are available during study tables to assist students.
