GRADING
All grades will be recorded in PowerSchool. Art projects reflect the Indiana Standards for Visual Arts K-5. Project grades are 10 points each and reflect effort and completion.
Citizenship includes making good choices, being respectful, and helping make our classroom a safe and positive place for everyone. 2nd-5th grade students earn a citizenship grade each quarter. Every student is given all 20 points at the start of the quarter. If students break a rule during art, they will be given a warning. If the issue continues, a point will be deducted and a description of the negative behavior choice will be recorded in PowerSchool. Parents can check citizenship grades online any time.
