GradingPolicy

Ido not grade every assignment that your child completes.  We correct homework and many in-classassignments together as a whole class or within a small group. I have explained the procedurefor correcting assignments in class to the students and they are aware of thehonesty policy.  If they choose notto be honest, they will lose the privilege of self-correcting and I willcollect that particular child’s work and correct it myself each day.  The students are to only utilize acolored writing utensil for correcting and are not allowed to change answers –only mark them correct/incorrect. It is important that they learn from their mistakes, not to hidethem.  If you have questions orconcerns please feel free to let me know.

GradingSystem

It is a districtpolicy to send progress reports half way through the marking period for anychild who currently has below a C average. I will adhere to the districtpolicy, however parents are encouraged to check their student’s progress usingPower School.  I will do my best torecord students’ tests, quizzes, assignments and projects results as soon aspossible.  Please know someassignments are more tedious to grade than others and may require more time forme.
