Our Eighth Grade Report Cards

We were graded on our academic achievement in the following areas:

• Knowledge of Christian Doctrine
• Skill and Comprehension in Reading
• Knowledge and Use of English Grammar
• Expression of Ideas in Speech and Writing
• Correct Written Spelling
• Computation and Reasoning in Arithmetic
• Knowledge of History
• Knowledge of Geography
• Understanding of Government and Duties of Citizenship
• Understanding of Scientific Methods and Basic Scientific Facts

In addition we were graded on Effort, Conduct, Homework and School Spirit.

Do you remember bringing home these report cards for our parents to sign?  On the reverse of the card, there is an area where our teacher could place a "check."  If we had a check in the box for that grading period it meant that our parents had to "arrange to call at the school personally to talk with the principal or the teacher regarding the best interest of the child."
