Grading Policy and PowerSchool:

Our new grading policy, as mandated by the AOB, is included in our Student & Parent Handbook beginning on page 9. All major content areas will now be graded using 4 weighted categories. The categories are weighted as follows:

• Content Knowledge 60%

• Assessment of Learning 20%

• Skill Application & Critical Thinking 15%

• HW and Practice 5%

Access to PowerSchool, which provides parents with online access for grades for their children in Grades 3-8, is now OPEN. For new students to SJS, as well as all 3rd graders, information regarding access has been sent home. Please allow time for grades to be entered and for you to get used to the new weighting system.
