Grading 📝

Language Arts is now being assessed with standards based grading. At a glance this means:

  • All “grades” will be earned through assessments (these can be projects, essays, quizzes, or tests)

  • Each assessment will now specifically focus on a few Language Arts content standards.

On assessments you will receive a score of 1-4, rather than A-F.

1 : Does not meet grade level standards

2: Partially meets grade level standards

3: Meets grade level standards

4: Exceeds grade level standards

You will have multiple opportunities to prove that you are meeting particular standards.

You will be able to “redo” major assessments.




Redo Policy

In this class you will have multiple opportunities to improve your assessment scores. You must use the following guidelines:

  • Submit the original assessment with your new attempt (if possible).

  • Write a letter that compares the original attempt with the new work. What did you learn as a result of redoing the assignment?

  • All homework and classwork assignments must be completed prior to redoing an assignment

  • Most redo assessments will be done outside of class, on your own time.


About Ms. Phillips

Hi parents and scholars! I'm Ms. Phillips, the Language Arts teacher at SVCS Middle School. This is my 6th year teaching at SVCS and I couldn't be happier about it!

I absolutely adore reading, writing, and learning, and I love sharing these passions with everyone, especially my students.

In my spare time, you can find me hiking, working on an art project, spoiling my cat, Ziggy, or reading a great book (of course!)
