• Grading Policy

  • Students are evaluated on their performance on in-class activities, as well as tests. If a student is absent, they will receive extra time to make up their work. At the end of the marking period, a standards-based report card will be given. The following scale is used to assess each skill on the report card: 

    4 - Advanced - exceeding grade level expectations
    3 - Proficient - independently meeting third grade expectations
    2 - Approaching Proficient - able to meet expectations with adaptations and guidance
    1 - Not Yet Proficient - unable to meet expectations with adaptations and guidance

    *On most papers I will provide a number score to show how many were correct out of the total possible.

  • The following Baking Analogy may assist you in understanding how the Standards Based Reporting System works.

    4 = Student decided to do something completely different with the cupcake mix and makes a layered birthday cake instead.  The cake has a written saying and candles have been added. He/she understood the directions but went above and beyond what was asked of them.
    3 = Student has the materials and understands how to make and bake cupcakes. The student bakes the cupcakes.
    2 = Student has the materials to bake cupcakes but needs some help from someone to get started
    1  = Student has the materials to bake cupcakes but doesn't know what to do with them.
