Greenville County Schools-Grading in the Elementary Related Arts-
Grades K5-5: Standards Based Grading:
PE Teachers will use checklists, observations and rubrics to determine if the student has MET the standards taught during the 9 weeks or if the student is still PROGRESSING towards meeting the standards.
Numeric grades will no longer be given for assignments or reported on the report card. The teacher will enter M (MET) or P (PROGRESSING) for the student at the end of each 9 weeks. The teacher will be expected to keep anecdotal evidence to support the assessment of M or P.
Each 9 weeks, these grades will be added to the student’s report card electronically or sent to the classroom teacher who will record the related arts grades on the paper report card (K5 and 1st).
Each teacher will keep a hard copy/grade book for classes.
Grades will be entered into Power teacher at the end of each quarter.
Board Policy requires progress reports to be sent to parents of any student at risk of failing for the quarter. In related arts classes, “at-risk of failing” means those students showing “little to no progression towards standards.”
