If by some chance you missed the Mandatory 🙂 meeting last night, the biggest change has to do with new due dates for progress reports and transcripts to make it less complicated for families. All of this info is available in the 2014-2015 Handbook (https://cbccahomeschooling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/cbcca-14-15-handbook.pdf)

Here are the revised dates –

Three times a year, members of Community Bible Church Christian Academy must submit a progress report. A progress report provides a record of what your student(s) are studying and their strengths and weaknesses in these subjects. Here are some basic rules of what your progress report should include:

• List Community Bible Church Christian Academy, along with the student’s name, grade and the date of the progress report.
• It should reflect the dates and the total number of days of instruction.We are required to have 180 days instruction each year. Please show this in your progress report.
• List the subjects studied, a brief description of each course, curriculum and books used and an indicator of how the student is doing in each course. Examples are a narrative explaining his progress, a grade or an indication such as satisfactory or unsatisfactory progress.
• Please follow the Uniform Grading Scale for High School Students as required by South Carolina law. Include a sample of assigned work for each subject as appropriate.
• A sample of your plan book for that reporting period.
• If the student has fulfilled all the requirements for the school year and is ready for the next grade level, the parent must provide a statement showing this on the last progress report of the year.
• For students third grade and above, please provide a copy of their standardized achievement test as a part of their permanent record.
• In addition, a separate transcript is required for High School Students. Each instructor is responsible for preparing their students’ official transcripts. These should be started during the students’ freshman year and kept up-to-date for use when it is time to apply for colleges. Copies of final transcripts must be turned into Pastor Broggi for signature before applying for college. Downloadable transcripts and samples are available here.

I expect this to be the trend (see below) with more and more colleges. In light of that I can say that my preferred method of receiving transcripts is via email, in WORD or Excel. That way I can update them when needed. Thanks-Claudia
