HOW IS MUSIC GRADED?

Elementary Grading Policies

Two active embedded assessments are taken each music class, scored by a 4 point rubric. The final grade is an average of the rubric scores.

For example, if students are learning how to keep a steady beat, a score will be given in the middle of the activity - if they can keep a steady be most of the time, they score a 3.  Exceptional steady beat keeping will score a 4.  If they struggle some of the time, they will score a 2.  If they struggle a lot or they did not participate, they score a 1.  Students who consistently score 3s will earn S in grades K-2 and an A in grades 3-6.
