English Standards-Based Grading Rubric
Our goal is to have all students meet proficiency in all standards taught and tested. Once a student has met proficiency, enrichment will occur to assist the student toward mastery, the student can then work towards mastery through personal effort and dedication.
Students may re-take any and all assessments as needed, as long as they show learning has occurred before a re-take. Each assessment may require different tasks before a re-take, so it is up to the student to identify and complete each task.
*Please note: Teachers will use professional judgement when it comes to final grades to fit the school-wide grading scale.
New this year!
Our grading policy has changed! We have moved to Standards- Based Grading

8. How can parents help? Read your emails! Donations
I send term s at the beginning of every term. I also send missing work notifications weekly.
