Yes, our school year ends in December and recommences during the last week of January. We have four terms, ten weeks each that run through a single calendar year. They begin their new grade in January. The students know that all the marks are in the system and on top of that they know that they will be progressing up to the next grade regardless. It is not the most ideal of scenarios. Cheers, John. Hi Pat, thank you for the comment. Yes, our school year ends in December and recommences during the last week of January.

Do they start a new grade in January? How long is your school year? Here in South Carolina, we start in August and go through June.
