Purpose:
A. The honor roll is one of the means of implementing the philosophy of the Montville Board of Education, "The Board...shall focus the efforts of this system on the child as an individual so that each child will be challenged to develop to the fullest his/her intellectual capacity, his/her creative potential and above all to seek wisdom."
B. To provide an incentive, needed by some students, for striving to reach the limit of their potential both in the academic and exploratory areas of the curriculum.
C. To publicly recognize above average achievement by students regardless of their intellectual capacity.
An A- average with no grade lower than a B- and no Incomplete in any subject to qualify for HIGH HONORS. (11 points average)
A B- average and no grade lower than a B- and no Incomplete in any subject to qualify for HONORS. (8 points average)
A B- average or better and no grade lower than a C- and no Incomplete to qualify for HONORABLE MENTION.
The honor roll is distributed to each of the classrooms as is published at the end of each marking period in the local newspapers.
Students at the Tyl Middle School are eligible to participate in a wide range of co-curricular activities (C.C.A.'s) including athletic, academic, and club-type programs. If a student should fail two or more courses in any quarter, he/she becomes ineligible to participate in these activities during next quarter. The student's primary responsibility is to his/her class work. C.C.A.'s are those school programs that extend beyond the school day and meet on a regular basis.
Note: Curricular or academic field trips and single events meeting entirely beyond the conclusion of the instructional day are not affected by ineligibility.

A progress report will be mailed home at the halfway point during each marking period. The purpose of this report is to inform both the student and the parent of achievement thus far in each of his/her classes. Upon receiving a progress report that denotes academic weaknesses, parents should call their child's teacher or school counselor to work toward a resolution of the problem.
A progress report may be used as an instrument of praise, reflecting strengths and academic improvement, or to call attention to impending problems.
Progress reports may also be distributed any time a teacher determines it is necessary.
It is the policy of the Tyl Middle School to promote those students whom the school feels have made satisfactory progress both academically and developmentally.
Parents of any student receiving a failing grade in any subject at any time during the school year should contact the teacher of that subject to determine what can be done to resolve the academic deficiency.
It is the policy of the school to send home failure notices after the second marking period for any student who has failed more than one subject. A student may be considered a candidate for retention alternatives if failure has taken place in more than one major subject for two or more marking periods. Parents of a child in this situation should contact the counselor immediately.
Report cards will be issued four times a year and are hand carried home by the student. Parents are expected to sign the report card envelope and return it to the school. Students who do not return their envelopes signed will not be given their next report cards until a parent calls the school and speaks with a school counselor.
Please refer to the school calendar for proposed progress report and report card dates.
