ELEMENTARY

Grade reports will be prepared for each student in grades K-5 at the end of each nine-week grading period. Progress reports will be sent home with students in grades K-5 at the middle of each nine-week grading period. The grades assigned to the student for performance in each class/subject area reflect the extent to which the student has achieved the objectives of the class/subject area.

GRADING SCALE OR GRADES K-2

Progress for students in kindergarten through the second grade will be communicated to parents with a standards based report card. Skills taught at each of these grade levels are listed on report cards. Students are assessed over skills that have been taught each grading period. Students receive a plus mark (+) next to a skill if the student shows full control of the skill. Students receive a minus (-) next to a skill if the student shows little or no control of the skill.

ASSESSMENTS

Each Friday, students will be assessed in the areas of Word Study, Reading, Math, and Science/Social Studies. If a student does not pass the assessment then it will be sent home on Friday with the student requiring a parent signature and to be returned to the teacher. The teacher will provide additional support and extra practice and then reevaluate the student to show growth and mastery.
