🎨 Grading Policy 🎨
Students: I will always grade you based on your own personal abilities and the artistic growth you personally will make with time and effort (Growth Mindset). Keep a positive attitude, do your best, and I guarantee you will have success in my class!
🎨Report Cards/Progress Reports:
Your Art Class grade is based on daily class participation (50%) and art class assignments and projects (50%).
Your complete Art grade with ALL individual participation and project scores are posted in the Aspen Parent Portal. (Google Classroom only displays digital project grades.).
Term grades on progress reports and report cards will be Pass/Fail but your numeric score is visible on Aspen. Students receive Conduct and Effort ratings and comments as well.
🎨 Daily Participation Grade:
Each day of class, students can earn up to 100 points for awesomeness! These grades are titled "Daily Participation Grades" in Aspen.
Participation Expectations:

• You follow classroom expectations and school rules.
