Grading and reporting:

Unlike other subjects, PE does not have letter grades or percentages. In the LMS grade book, parents and students see numbers linked to the criteria listed above. This system indicates if a student is failing to engage (1), progressing (PG), achieving (AH), or exceeding (ED) for each of the 4 criteria. Student reflections in the reports highlight their learning and understanding of their continued development. For each reporting period, students and parents will see their individual criteria grade based on a 1-4 scale in the LMS grade book plus an overall grade with ED, AH, or PG on their end report.

How do the numbers work?

• 4: Exceeding (ED)

• 3: Achieving (AH)

• 2: Progressing (PG)

• 1: Failure to engage ( * )

Effort marks:

Each quarter, each student receives effort marks alongside their PE criteria grades. These effort marks are:

• 1. Outstanding

• 2. Good

• 3. Satisfactory

• 4. Poor

• 5. Unsatisfactory

Homework:

Occasionally, students in Grades 7 and 8 will receive some pre- or post-lesson reading to assist in their learning of key concepts and understanding of content directly linked to the unit being covered in class. This will be set on Google Classroom.
