Evaluation of Student Progress

Evaluation of Student Progress

The following procedures will be used to record and document student progress:

Grading Scale

A = 90 - 100

B = 80 - 89

C = 70 - 79

D = 60 - 69

F = 50 - 59

Minor assessments count 60% and major assessments count 40%.

Homework Policy

It is my belief that homework should serve a specific purpose. Homework will be used as a supplement to instruction in order to improve or increase skills. Homework may be in the nature of enrichment activities, such as special reports, research work, and practice of a specific skill. Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday and usually will take the student about 45 – 60 minutes to complete. Students will be given time to record their homework assignments in their planners.  In addition to homework, students should read for pleasure and enrichment 20 minutes each night.

Classroom Rules:

As your teacher, I believe it is important to be safe, responsible, and respectful. I also believe that appropriate behaviors and routines, like academic subjects, must be thoroughly taught and reviewed throughout the year, therefore students will have discussions to teach them our school expectations.  


In order for students to receive the best possible education, there must be open communication between the school, parents/guardians, and the students. Positive and open communication between home and school can result in a more pleasant and successful experience in Sixth Grade. Everyone must accept responsibility and take an active part in the education of the student.

Students must realize that they have an equally vital part in their education as their Teachers and Parents/Guardians. In order for students to form this realization, they need to have respect for themselves and others. They must take full responsibility for their own actions and decisions. They need to care about themselves and others. They need to be honest with themselves and others. They must put forth their best effort and always be willing to try no matter how hard it may seem. Students also need to be able to make wise choices and understand the consequences, both good and bad, that occur because of their choices.

Procedures for non-instructional routines

Parents/Guardians will be contacted several times during the school year.  Parents will receive:
