STUDENT PERFORMANCE

STEVE-UNIC Academy’s strength lies in the student’s excellent performance. Performance here is not just academic, but the over-all development of the whole person. Therefore on admission, the class teacher closely monitors and assesses the child’s over-all development throughout the session in order to achieve excellence in that child. In addition, other teachers are trained to mentor and closely observe students and make report to the management. For effectiveness, parents are co-opted to complement the work of the school by closely monitoring the behavior of their children at home and discussing with the school for the overall good of the child. The academy encourages healthy and result oriented school/parent relationship to discuss the child’s progress and performance on regular basis. To further attain this excellence in performance, STEVE-UNIC Academy has the following tools to monitor performance.  

• Checklist for note and text books: The school has compiled a checklist for note and textbooks. This is a register of all the subject notebooks and textbooks a child should have. Parents are advised to keep a copy of this essential tool to monitor their movement and ensure that these books are intact.

• Special Note book: the Academy does not encourage borrowing of classmate’s note books by students, hence the introduction of the special book. This is a note book kept in the custody of the class teacher and will be released to the student whenever he/she misplaces his/her original notebook for copying of class work. The student’s transfers the work in this note book into the original note book whenever, it is found.

• Assignment diary: This is a book that contains an inventory of assignments and projects given to the student by the subject teacher as they occur. In STEVE-UNIC Academy, Homework is considered a serious business. Parents are encouraged to check the book for any assignment and ensure that the child sits down, studies and does his assignments. This will also develop a good study habits in the child. Failure to complete or do assignment affects a child’s overall performance and may result to failure. Parents must sign the assignment diary.
