NEW DISTRICT GRADING POLICY 

• • In accordance with state law, no school may adopt or utilize any type of grading system that requires a teacher to assign a minimum grade or score that exceeds a student’s actual performance on required assignments.

• • The Grading Floor of a 50 has been removed for ALL middle and high courses taught in middle school. 

  • This applies to ALL grades including assignments grades, progress report grades and quarterly grades.

  • The teacher can NO longer override grades below a 50 for an assignment or a quarterly grade.  The grade in the gradebook will reflect the assignment grade and/or quarterly grade the student has earned and it may be below a 50.       

  • For example, in the past if the grade were below a 50 the grade would reflect a grade override score of a 50 .New district policy removes the grading floor of a 50 so the grade you see in the gradebook is the actual grade the student earned.

  • This includes middle level HS courses. The actual grade will stand in the gradebook for all classes taught at the middle school.
