SST Process

When a student is struggling in academic and/or behavior within the classroom, you should be holding an SST to address the concerns and put in place supports.  Part of the SST process is bringing the team together and the other part is rolling the cycles of support forward and seeing if they are making an impact.  The idea is that this is the least restrictive way to ensure students all have access to the appropriate curriculum while also receiving the supports to succeed.  

To initiate this you need to reach out to your site SST coordinator (often the principal).  You will need to schedule an SST I and fill out the forms on EduClimber.

Grading Board Policy

• Policy 5121: Grades/Evaluation Of Student Achievement

• Status: ADOPTED

• Original Adopted Date: 07/02/2013 | Last Reviewed Date: 07/02/2013

• The Board of Trustees believes that grades serve a valuable instructional purpose by helping students and parents/guardians understand performance expectations and identifying the student's areas of strength and those areas needing improvement. Parents/guardians and students have the right to receive course grades that represent an accurate evaluation of the student's achievement.

• The Superintendent or designee shall establish a uniform grading system based on standards that apply to all students in that course and grade level. Principals and teachers shall ensure that student grades conform to this system. Teachers shall inform students and parents/guardians how student achievement will be evaluated in the classroom.

• A teacher shall base a student's grades on impartial, consistent observation of the quality of the student's work and his/her mastery of course content and district standards. Students shall have the opportunity to demonstrate this mastery through a variety of methods such as classroom participation, homework, tests, and portfolios.

• The teacher of each course shall determine the student's grade. The grade assigned by the teacher shall not be changed by the Board or the Superintendent except as provided by law, Board policy, or administrative regulation. (Education Code 49066)

• Students in kindergarten through the third grade shall receive narrative evaluation rather than letter grades in order to give parents/guardians more information about their children's developmental levels and also promote students' self-esteem and experiences of success.

• When reporting student performance to parents/guardians, teachers may add narrative descriptions, observational notes, and/or samples of classroom work in order to better describe student progress in specific skills and subcategories of achievement.

• A report card for a student with a disability may contain information about his/her disability, including whether that student received special education or related services, provided that the report card informs parents/guardians about their child's progress or level of achievement in specific classes, course content, or curriculum. However, transcripts that may be used to inform postsecondary institutions or prospective employers of the student's academic achievements shall not contain information disclosing the student's disability.

Effect of Absences on Grades

If a student misses class without an excuse and does not subsequently turn in homework, take a test, or fulfill another class requirement which he/she missed, the teacher may lower the student's grade for nonperformance.
