Grading Policy  Homework, class work, assessments, and projects are all components of a student’s grade in each subject area. Grades on projects or extended activities are based on rubrics developed for the specific project. Both parents and students are made aware ahead of time of the requirements for the activity. 9/19/2015

All homework goes home in this folder, as well as notes from school or the teacher. This folder travels home each night and is expected to return to school each day.  A list of ways to communicate with your teacher is located on the back of this folder.  Graded papers will be returned in the THURSDAY FOLDER each week. Please review the items in the folder with your child and have it returned on Friday (emptied and signed). Any specific questions can be directed to that particular teacher via or phone call.
