Grading for Pre K - 2nd

Students in grades K-2 will receive meaningful feedback on activities, assignments, and assessments. Students will receive an opportunity to relearn, redo assignments, and retake assessments in order to improve their learning. Students will not receive a report card for the 3rd trimester.

Grading for 3rd - 5th

For students in grades 3-5, CM 201-U will use a pass/incomplete grading plan. The District has defined the following expectations related to pass/incomplete grading practices:

• Students will receive a Pass/ Incomplete grade for each subject taught by the classroom teacher only. No grades will be given for specials.
• For a student to earn a passing grade for the trimester, they must engage in and complete graded learning assignments and assessments assigned by the teacher.
• Teachers will identify and communicate which learning assignments are graded and which are non-graded.
• A passing grade will continue to be based on the quality of work and demonstration of learning at a proficiency level of 60% or above.
• Students whose grade is below 60% will have the opportunity to review, redo, and resubmit the learning assignment/assessment for the opportunity to receive a passing grade.
• Students will not receive a zero for any assignment or assessment that is not completed. An * will be used in Skyward.
• Students who struggle to maintain and/or achieve scores of 60% may receive additional support.
• Graded assignments and assessments may be completed and turned in any time during the trimester.
• Any grades earned from March 3rd - March 16th may be included in the pass/incomplete grade determination for the 3rd trimester. If those grades prevent a student from earning a passing grade for the trimester, those grades will not be included.
• Any assignments that occurred from March 17th - April 7th will not be included as ISBE designated these as non-instructional days.
• Students who do not achieve a trimester grade of at least 60% will receive and Incomplete (I). Students will have the opportunity to complete the learning requirements during the summer.
• Students who do not submit any graded work for Remote Learning will receive an Incomplete.
• Students who are unable to complete the graded assignments or assessments to a level of at least 60% due to extenuating circumstances related to the school closure will receive a passing grade. These situations will be reviewed on a case by case basis upon parent request.

Grade 3-5 students will not receive a 3rd trimester report card, but students and parents will be notified of any grades designated as Incomplete.
