Grading Policies

  • Grading Policies


    The Northern York School District uses a Standards Based Reporting System.  Assignments and assessments will be aligned to the PA Core Standards and will be assessed with a 4, 3, 2, 1 system.  A score of 3 indicates that the student is performing on grade level for that particular skill and is where students are expected to be performing.

    4 - Advanced - the student consistently demonstrates mastery of grade level standards.  With relative ease the student grasps, applies and extends processes and skills for the grade level.

    3 - Proficient - the student demonstrates understanding of the grade level standards and can apply concepts in a variety of contexts; meeting grade level standards/expectations.

    2 - Approaching Proficient - the student is beginning to, and occasionally does, meet grade level standards.  The student is beginning to grasp and apply key processes and skills for the grade level, but produces work that contains errors. Is approaching achievement of grade level standards/expectations.

    1 - Not Yet Proficient - the student is not meeting grade level standards.  Limited achievement of grade level standards/expectations.







    Guidelines for late/make up work

    All homework assignments are due the very next time class occurs, unless otherwise stated by the teacher.  Students are expected to complete their assignments on time.  Emergencies and absences are the only exception to this rule.  It is the responsibility of the student to be sure assignments are turned in on time.  If a student is not in class, it is his/her responsibility to see his/her respective teachers and get his/her missed assignments.
