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.

Page 11: Welcome  to  Second 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.
