 In a standards-based system, teachers report what students know and are able to do relative to the KY Academic Standards. The system includes:  The improvement of student achievement of required Kentucky targets in all content areas,  The mastery of defined learning targets instead of the accumulation of points,  Evidence is based on various forms of assessments.

 Traditional grading averages a student's achievement data with other characteristics, such as work habits.  Standards-based grading focuses solely on a student’s academic achievement and continued mounting evidence that indicates a true assessment of the child’s present attainment of the learning targets. Other characteristics are reported separately

 The student’s grade more accurately represents the progress toward mastery of standards than traditional grading does. Subject areas are subdivided into big ideas related to standards and their respective learning targets that students need to learn or master. Each target is assessed. Scores from activities that are provided solely for practice will not be included in the final assessment of the learning target. The influence of positive and consistent work habits on student learning is reported separately from the academics.

 You should have received permission slips and informational letter  If you would like to pay today, please see your child’s teacher. If you have questions or concerns about the fee, we will discuss this after the meeting.
