Grading

This year, we are transitioning to standards based report cards. We feel this will give teachers, parents, and students a better idea of where students are academically. Instead of letter grades, students will receive a 1, 2, or 3 (as they have at Stewart and 3rd grade). A 3 means showing proficiency in what we scored. We have certain standards chosen and will score tests and work under those standards. Because I want to be able to show you how I scored your child, I will be keeping the tests and work that are scored under one of the standards. Each student in my room will have a file of this work. I will show the work to students and will then collect it and share it with you at conferences. Please be patient with me as this is a learning process for us! I believe if you check grades in PowerSchool, you should be able to see the scores that I have entered. There should be a few in there already! Please ask me if you have questions - I would be glad to find out answers if I don't know!
