Grading

Student academic and behavior progress is graded using a variety of methods. Both formal and informal assessments and observations are taken into account for student grading. CUSD uses a 4-point rubric system for Report Card grading.

Daily student classwork and formal assessments will be sent home in your student's Friday folder. Below are some ways you may see your child's work "scored" or graded:

• 1-4 CUSD rubric score
• Written teacher comments or feedback
• Percentage or Fraction grade
• Symbol (ex: plus, check, minus)
• Star, sticker, or stamp - checked for completion only
