Kolbe Academy offers recordkeeping services for all enrolled students. All grades and attendance materials sent in by parents are maintained in a permanent, cumulative file at Kolbe Academy. The cumulative folder is established for all students upon registration and contains student academic records, including records requested and transferred from previous schools.  

 

Grades for academic online courses are finalized by the online instructor and become a part of the student’s permanent record at the end of every grading period (quarter or semester). Quarters are used in K-5; semesters are used in 6-12. If a student is auditing an online course, the audited course(s) must be reported by the by parent through the grade reporting process to be added to the student's permanent record.

 

Grades for courses completed in the Traditional Homeschool, Digital Homeschool, and Self-Paced formats must be reported through the grade reporting process to be added to the student’s permanent record. Grades for Self-Paced Plus courses may be reported through Schoology or the regular grade reporting process. If grades for homeschool, digital homeschool, self-paced, and self-paced plus courses are not reported, the grade cannot be validated for the purpose of issuing diplomas or providing an official grade record or transcript for the student. It is important to remember Kolbe Academy’s review of grade reporting documents is a service we provide and is not required.

Grades for Asynchronous Online courses are finalized by the asynchronous instructor and become a part of the student's permanent record upon completion of a given semester. If the student has opted out of teacher grading, the course grade must be reported by the parent through the grade reporting process to be added to the student's permanent records. 

 

For more information on reporting grades please see the Grade Reporting Folder in our Help Center or contact your assigned advisor.
