Grading Policy

In this classroom, we utilize standards-based grading. This reporting system will provide you, your child, and your child’s future teachers with more detailed information than a traditional letter grade. Instead of a letter grade that encompasses months of different skills, your child will receive a proficiency score for each learning target, which will indicate your child’s strength and area of need in each skill.

Your child’s proficiency scores are based on their performance on the summative assessment. Formative assessments are practice throughout the unit and may also count toward your child’s proficiency scores. Additionally, your child’s report card will contain a separate score for their effort and participation in the classroom.
