Grading System

Formative (daily) work:

  • I check student classroom work daily 
  • Some work may be marked by me with a star or smiley face to show students are meeting grade level expectations. 

Summative (final) assessments:

  • The rubric found on the district report card is used to give feedback on end of unit assessments or more significant assignments. It does not correspond to letter grades (A, B, etc.). The following system is used:

S = Secure: The student demonstrates mastery of this topic and applies it                                         independently.

D = Developing: The student demonstrates inconsistent mastery of this topic.

B = Beginning: The student demonstrates an introductory level of mastery of                                         this topic.

N/A = Not Assessed
