Homework is sent home the first week of every month.  It is optional.  We also ask that you have your child read daily! The first homework packet was sent home on August 29th! 

Grading Policy: 

Classwork and Assessment Expectations:

• Second grade students will complete learning assignments at the time they are provided. Second grade classwork assignments may be used to establish observational and classwork grades. If a student is unable to finish or refuses to finish an assignment, they will be provided an alternative time to finish their work at a non-preferred time. Assessments will be done one-on-one, whole group, small group, or independently depending on the standard assessed and student need. Assessments are graded using standards based grading on a 1-4 scale. 

Grading policies:

Students are evaluated on standards-based grading scale. The student performance levels of 1- 4 indicate whether students have met the expectations set by the state in the Standard Course of Study.

• Level 4 - Exemplary - Student consistently demonstrates an in-depth understanding of the standards, concepts, and skills taught during this reporting period. It is important to note that a level 4 is not an indication of above grade level work but of deeper, conceptual, application of grade-level standards.

• Level 3 - Proficient - Student consistently demonstrates an understanding of the standard, concepts, and skills taught during this reporting period. 

• Level 2 - Approaching Proficiency - Student is approaching an understanding of the standards, concepts, and skills taught during this reporting period. 

• Level 1 - Non-Proficient - Student does not yet demonstrate an understanding of the standards, concepts, and skills taught during this reporting period. 

Students will recieve a performance level of 1-3 for work habits and conduct. The following descriptors will be used: 

• Level 3 - meets expectations 

• Level 2 - inconsistently meets expectations 

• Level 1 - does not meet expectations
