Classwork, Homework and Grades
We utilize a standards-based grading system which allows us to better communicate with you on the progress your child is making toward mastering the content standards. Progress reports are distributed mid-quarter and report cards at the end of each quarter. Each report will include both an academic grade and an effort grade for each subject. The academic grade is intended to report a progress score aligned to mastering the taught standard. The effort grade will reflect the student’s applied effort toward that academic grade through things such as participation, centers, homework completion, and behavior. Grades are also available online for parents to view at any time. You will receive your personalized ParentVue information a couple of weeks after school begins.
I will update you with our homework procedures after our school year begins.
I also highly recommend reading with your child on a nightly basis for 15 minutes.
Any graded classwork that is sent home, can stay at home and be emptied out of your child’s Boomerang Folder.
