Dear Parents/Guardians,
We will be giving letter grades in ELA (English Language Arts) and Math.
This page will provide you with a breakdown and guide of our grading system.
What will be recorded: ELA
** All end of story tests (given every other story). These tests will count as 50% of your child's grade.
** All Skills Quizzes (HF Words, Phonics, Grammar) will be given at the conclusion of each story and will be 30% of your child's grade.
** The remaining 20% will be comprised of your child's classwork/center work and homework assignments.
What will be recorded: Math
Quizzes: Will be administered halfway through each unit. ONE Fact Power will also be recorded as a quiz in Genesis. Additonal fact powers will be given for practice, but will be a homework/classwork grade.
Quizzes and ONE fact power will count as 30% of your child's grade.
Chapter Test: At the conclusion of each chapter, a test will be administered. These tests will count as 50% of your child's grade.
** The remaining 20% will be comprised of fact powers, classwork/center work, and homework assignments.
The grading scale for the district is as follows:
100 - 90 = A 89 - 80 = B 79 - 70 = C 69 - 60 = D 59 - below = F
*There will be no letters grades given in Science, Social Studies, and Health.*
You will be able to view ELA and Math grades in our Genesis Gradebook. You must have a password assigned to you. More information will follow on Back to School Night about grading and Genesis Gradebook.
We are looking forward to a wonderful year and thank you in advance for all your help and cooperation this upcoming school year!!
