End of trimester grades are derived from grades in 3 categories.

Primary: 20%, Secondary: 70%, Supportive: 10%

typically assess multiple standards introduced throughout the trimester.

Assessments sent home with P (Primary) in the title are calculated within this category.

 

  • Secondary Assessments: 

 

These assessments account for 70% of a student’s grade and

typically focus on the discreet skills and understandings students

experinece within the classroom and 

need to acquire before they take a primary assessment. 

Assessments sent home with an S (Secondary) in the title fall within this category.

independent work towards mastery in the standards.
