Parents are encouraged to communicate with teachers about their child's education at QND through a number of methods: personal call, voice mail, email, letter, or a planned conference at the school. Parents and guardians may contact members of the Adminstrative Team at any time through the communication devices listed.

A report card is given every nine weeks with a grade recorded for each course in which a student is enrolled, except dual credit classes through Quincy University. At the end of the first quarter, Parent-Teacher conferences are held for the distribution of report cards. Report cards will be mailed home or given out by homeroom teachers for the other three quarters.

At mid-quarter deficiencies will be mailed home to parents. Chronic deficiency notices and failures could result in a request to leave the school. Each semester average stands on its own merits. It is not averaged with the other semester average. If a student fails the first semester in a course, he/she is a half credit short.

QND believes that homework is an essential part of the educational process. Homework may take the form of additional guided practice or exercises, reading of material on a specified subject, in-depth follow-up of classroom instruction, not as a substitution, and should benefit the student's academic progress and desire for continued learning.
