Grading & Report Cards

Students will receive report cards at the end of each grading period. The academic grades will reflect the classwork, homework, projects, and tests done for that period. 

All content area grades in 1st-5th will be numerical averages rather than letter grades. Please use the following scale for interpretation of grades: 

90-100 Excellent quality of work – thorough mastery of subject matter. 80-90 Good quality of work – above average with consistent effort. 

75-79 Satisfactory quality of work, average achievement. 

70-74 Below quality of work expected – below average achievement. Below 70 Unsatisfactory quality of work – poor work, failing. 

 

Grading continued: 

Conduct will be marked with one of four letter grades to be interpreted as follows: 

 

E Excellent quality of behavior – totally self-disciplined. S Satisfactory quality of behavior – cooperates readily. 

P Poor quality of behavior – below average. 

U Unsatisfactory quality of behavior – needs drastic improvement. 

Number of grades in each subject area 

10-12 grades per grading period per subject: Reading, Other Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. 

Categories and Weights of assignments 

Grading category assignments and weighting of categories must be consistent within each grade level subject area (Reading, Other Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies) for the entire school year. 

 

Reassessment plan 

A student shall be allowed one opportunity to redo a class assignment or exam for which the student received a failing grade (69 or below). Benchmarks, math fact tests, spelling tests, and projects will not be reassessed. Each grade level has a specific policy on how the reassessment grade will be calculated towards the grade recorded in the grade book. 

Late work policy 

Teachers shall take no more than 10 points off the first day for late assignments. Each subsequent late day may result in up to a 5-point daily deduction. Late assignments may not be accepted after 3 days.
