First Grade Grading Policy and Assessment Information

First Grade students will be assessed on Common Core Standards.  They will be given at least 2 attempts on these assessments (if needed), with the highest score recorded for their grade.  Some standards will be assessed weekly.  Those grades will be averaged at the end of the quarter.  In order for students to meet grade level expectations, they need to earn an 85% or higher.  Students with a score of 84% or lower have not met the grade level expectation for that assessment YET.  Our goal for our students is mastery of the skills that we assess so they will have a solid foundation on which to build their learning.  Therefore, we will continue to work on any skill in which the student has not met the 85% goal.
