STUDENT RECORDS<br />
Portfolios, Progress Reports and Report Cards<br />
The school year at ISE is divided into four terms, each lasting approximately nine<br />
weeks. Information about the student’s progress will be sent home at the end of each<br />
term.The portfolio is a purposeful collection of a student’s work that is designed to<br />
demonstrate learning and is shared during the conferences. Progress reports (in MYP<br />
and DP) are distributed after the first and third terms. Report cards are distributed<br />
after the second and fourth terms and are the official grade record of the student's<br />
individual achievement. Progress Reports and Report Cards are sent home by email,<br />
unless a hard copy is requested in writing.<br />
<strong>Student</strong> Files<br />
A student’s file includes report cards and transcripts (both stored digitally). This file<br />
may include notes on academic, social, and behavioral matters (stored digitally as well<br />
as in hard copy in <strong>Student</strong> Support Coordinator’s Office), and will accompany the<br />
student when he/she transfers to another school. Occasionally, some items will be<br />
confidential, but in most cases, parents have the right to access those records. In<br />
particular, parents and eligible students (those who have reached the age of 18) have<br />
the right to:<br />
● inspect and review the student's education records<br />
● challenge the content of the student’s file to ensure that the records are<br />
accurate and are not misleading, or otherwise in violation of the privacy or<br />
other rights of students, and to provide an opportunity for the correction or<br />
deletion of any such inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate data<br />
contained therein.<br />
<strong>Student</strong> Withdrawal<br />
A student withdrawing from ISE must initiate a checkout procedure by notifying the<br />
Office Manager. Initial contact should include an email or a letter from the<br />
parent/guardian stating that the child is withdrawing from ISE, after which parents<br />
receive a withdrawal form from the school office. All books and iPads should be<br />
returned to the library and to teachers. All payments and fines should be paid to the<br />
business office. Please remember that a student enrolled for any portion of a term will<br />
be charged for the entire term. Transcripts and grades will not be released until these<br />
procedures have been completed. If a student withdraws from ISE before the end of a<br />
semester, only a “progress grade” (to date) can be given. Course credit will not be<br />
granted for the full semester.
