Proficiency Grading & Synergy Information

Some teachers in PPS are using Proficiency Grading. This means that a students grade is based on their demonstration of knowledge and not just points and percents. Each of these teachers will do this a little differently, so you should contact your child's teacher for more information about how they are determining your student's grades. In Synergy, in order to see your student's proficiency marks, you have to click on the standards view button as shown at right

Some teachers have chosen in Synergy to calculate your student's final grades using a Matrix which looks for consistent evidence of knowledge. In order to use these matrices, assignments are scored using the marks at right.

From these assignment scores, Synergy uses one of the Matrices at right to determine a final mark.
