At Pella Middle School, we believe that every student can reach learning targets for each unit of study. These targets are often referred to as "stadards". It's our mission to help students learn desired outcomes as they progress from unit to unit throughout the year. For each assessment activity, students earn a number that shows how well they demonstrated knowledge of that assessment's standards.

Every assessement score a student earns during the semester will factor in to their final semester grade. The Pella Middle School Grading Scale is shown below.
