• Grading Policies:

    Student grades will be reported in increments of .5

    • 4 Meets the standards with distinction

    • 3 Meets the standards

    • 2 Working to meet the standards

    • 1 Does not meet the standards

     

    • We use a standards based grading system – the grades on the report card reflect the student’s abilities at the end of the marking period in regard to a particular standard.

    • Grades are determined by teacher assessments, observations, check-lists, and rubrics.

    • Reading: determined by the level at which the student can independently read and comprehend, reading conferences, phonics skills, sight word recognition, vocabulary

    • Math: determined by classwork, quizzes, end of module tests, rubrics designed to assess each child’s ability with regard to a particular standard.

    • Language Arts: determined by listening, speaking, and participating during synchronous learning, handwriting, writing conferences, writing benchmarks, end-of-unit Fundations tests

    • Science and Social Studies: determine by ability to work cooperatively, unit projects/experiments, classwork, quizzes, and end-of-unit tests
