Grading Policy
Effort Grading Scale
This includes participation, behavior, attitude, and willingness to try. All students begin each class with an “S”. It’s up to each student to keep it there or improve their grade! I do post grades in Q, so you can check your child’s progress at any time. Students in grades 4-6 assess their own participation at the end of each class using a participation rubric. Students may earn a maximum of 10 points per class.
Absences
All absences are excused. However, if a student misses many classes (5 or more) in a quarter, make up work may be necessary to keep up with class activities and learning. This will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
