Grading Policy
Progress reports – Target Binders will serve as a progress report and be sent home throughout the six weeks.
Common Assessments – Scores below a 3 will have the opportunity to
retake for a better grade.
Grades are based on a scale of 1-3. The goal is for each child to be a 3 = Meets expectations.
Writing is a process. This is an area that progresses as the year goes on.
Math is another area of progression. Students will be expected to explain their thinking as well as provide the correct answer.
Grades
Target Binder Assessments for each subject area will be
kept in the binder Used to provide feedback to students Encourage student accountability Student goal setting Show progress Communication for parents from teachers
