Grading System
Ignitia Online grades are updated every day since 90% of the grading is automatic while teachers take care of the other 10% on daily basis.
If a student will fail the lesson(s), he/she may send a message to a teacher through the Ignitia message system asking to rework the lesson. However, it is up to the teacher to decide if request will be granted.
Quizzes or tests are not allowed to be retaken. Only under special circumstance teacher may allow to retake a quiz or test.
Biweekly reports are sent home to parents’ via-email. Quarterly and semester reports are mailed home.
