Grading and Assessments

Just some reminders for our kids so they are successful during testing:

*Eat a healthy breakfast.

*Go to sleep early.

*Think and act positively.

*Study your skills.

*Use your strategies.

*Dress for success.

Weekly quizzes will assess proficiency in each subject and determine grouping placements and planning. Writing assessments will be given throughout the year and will be scored according the the assignment rubric. Students will be trained in how to use a rubric and become self-evaluators.

A "de-scaffolding" process will be implemented which will lead the students to become self-evaluators and drivers of their own learning.

In an effort to establish uniformity in our grading, as well preparing our student for higher learning, the following grading scale will be used:

A = 90% - 100%

B = 80% - 89%

C = 70% - 79%

D = 60% - 69%

F = Below 60%
