Student
Progress Students
in ESL classes at Bellevue College should make progress in their level. If there is no progress, students may not
continue in the classes. The teacher
looks at your attendance, classroom work, and tests (including CASAS tests)
to decide your progress. The teacher
will tell you at the end of the quarter that you need to improve. If you don’t improve, you might not be able
to register for classes in the future. You can review Student Procedures and Expectations policies at www.bellevuecollege.edu/artshum |

Confidentiality
- www.bellevuecollege.edu/artshum §
We do not wish other people (parents, spouses, and
friends of students) to speak for students about school performance because
this can slow student growth and progress. We do this because we would like
students to speak for themselves and be independent. §
Federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act) says that we must protect the privacy of student education records. §
BC policy keeps school performance between the school
and the student. If a student asks for a parent, spouse, or friend to be at
any instructor-student discussion of academic performance, instructors will
look at each situation and make the final decision. § See all policies

Student Growth and Development www.bellevuecollege.edu/artshum |
Gifts Students
in this program often like to do nice things for their teachers at the end of
the quarter. A card with words from all the students, flowers and food are
good ways to thank your teacher. You do not need to buy your teacher a gift
or give money. |
