14. GRADES

15. Graded Papers
Papers will go home daily after we have graded and reviewed them. The papers will be located in your child’s binder and are yours to keep. Please use these papers to work with your child at home. We feel that sending papers home daily vs. weekly allows students ample time for review before testing.
If you are not receiving graded papers in the binder please discuss this with your child. We encourage everyone gain access to your child’s grades online. You may pick-up a “Family Access” packet/application from the front office at any time.
Tests will be sent home as the unit is assessed. You will receive a message when tests are sent home. Please always review the tests with your child.
