“The ideal student would be one who was not working for grades but was working because he was interested in the work and not trying to compete with fellow students.” -Carl David Anderson

As students learn and work, teachers are constantly evaluating student progress and overall mastery of the content and skills taught in our classrooms each day. Please remember, your student is learning! Everyday is a new opportunity and adventure in our classroom. Your support and encouragement will help your student grow, learn, and succeed everyday!
Each nine weeks, students will be assessed in four areas: Language Arts (Reading and Writing), Math, Science, and Social Studies.
If a grade falls below 70, students will have an opportunity to redo the assignment after reteaching and practice of the skill. The average of the two grades will be recorded in the Gradebook. Please contact your child's homeroom teacher for more information about your child's grades.

"Grace Over Grades"
Your child is learning each and every day! We do not expect children to score a 100 on all assignments- we want our students to try and do their best! We love watching students struggle- this shows that they are actually learning the content and skills. We want students to be in the pit and productively work to learn! Students can always ask for help- we're there for them!
