Citizenship/Work habits will be based on the following scale:

E- Excellent S- Satisfactory N- Needs Improvement U- Unsatisfactory

Grading Categories:

Report cards with your child's grades or performance and absences in each class or subject are issued to you at least once every six weeks.

For grades 5 and 6, at the end of the first three weeks of a grading period, you will be given a progress report. If your child receives a grade lower than 70 in any class or subject during a grading period, you will be notified.

Teachers follow grading guidelines approved by the Superintendent pursuant to the board-adopted policy and are designed to reflect each student’s relative mastery of each assignment for the grading period, semester, or course. State law provides that a test or course grade issued by a teacher cannot be changed unless the Board determines that the grade was arbitrary or contains an error, or the teacher did not follow the District’s grading policy. The Board’s decision is not subject to appeal. [See policy EIA(LOCAL).]

Questions about grade calculation should first be discussed with the teacher; if the question is not resolved, the student or parent may request a conference with the principal in accordance with FNG(LOCAL).
