GRADING POLICY
The new standards based report card will be very different from previous report cards. Record of student progress in each of the major learning standards will be kept. Student progress will be reported as follows:
•ES (Exceeds Standard) = Student is consistently exceeding the standard for the grade level. Student grasps, applies, and independently extends key concepts, processes, and skills.
•MS (Meets Standard) = Student is meeting the standard. Demonstrates proficiency and with limited errors, grasps and applies concepts, processes, and skills.
•AS (Approaching Standard) = Student is making progress towards the standard for the grade level. The student is beginning to grasp and apply key concepts, processes, and skills.
NS (Needs Support) = Student is making minimal progress towards the standard for the grade level. The student is working below grade level. Improvement is needed.
These do not correspond to traditional A, B. C, D, F in any way.
