7. What’s My Grade?
The 6th grade grading process is standards aligned. This is similar to what you have experienced in 4th and 5th grade; however, this year as we prepare our students for Kingsway, we will correlate student learning with a traditional letter grade (A-F).  Although you will see letter grades on your child’s report card, the grades are dependent on standards mastery.
You can find more information on Standards Aligned Grading on my website or the district website under Curriculum.
