* Please understand that while we would like all children to receive 4's, a score of 3 means the child is at grade level.
* Curriculum is developed following the State and District Standards. These standards will be discussed in class and will be addressed in the comments section of the Report Card.
* All assignments will be checked for completion, but some work may not be scored nor commented on.
