GRADING FOR BAND:

STUDENTS WILL BE GRADED BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

EFFORT, PARTICIPATION AND PREPAREDNESS,  AND PERFORMANCES.

PARTICIPATION AND PREPAREDNESS 

%50 OF YOUR CHILD'S GRADE. DOES YOUR CHILD PARTICIPATE? 

IF YES, THEN IT'S AN EASY WAY TO MAINTAIN THEIR GRADE. 

IF NO, IT WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THEIR GRADE.

IF YOUR CHILD DOES NOT HAVE THEIR INSTRUMENT OR SHEET MUSIC, THEY CANNOT

EFFECTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN BAND.

BEHAVIOR 

%50 OF YOUR CHILD'S GRADE. DOES YOUR CHILD DISRUPT CLASS? 

IF NO, THEN THEY MAINTAIN A HIGHER GRADE. 

IF YES, IT WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THEIR GRADE.

PERFORMANCES

IN TERMS 2 AND 4 THIS WILL BE APART OF YOUR CHILD'S PARTICIPATION GRADE.

AN UNEXCUSED ABSENCE FROM A CONCERT WILL RESULT IN A ZERO.  A MAKEUP ASSIGNMENT WILL BE GIVEN. 

I DO NOT GRADE KIDS BASED ON THEIR PLAYING ABILITY.
