Grading Policies

The Board of Education believes that the issuance of grade serves to promote continuous evaluation of student
progress toward expected learning outcomes, to inform both the student and parent of such progress, and to provide
a basis for bringing about change in a student's performance, if needed.
Grade reports will be sent home with students at the end of each six weeks. In addition to these report cards,
progress reports for 5-8 will be sent home in the middle of each grading period to provide parents with information
of importance in the educational process. Grades K-4 send home papers weekly for parents to see. Letter and
numerical value will express the basic grading system for subject area grades as follows
A…...........93-100 B……….84-92 C……….75-83 D……….70-74 F……….69 and below
Grades given at the end of each six week period will be determined from daily work, oral and written assignments and tests. The
teacher may weigh the value of grades for various assignments within the six-week period. This procedure will enable the
teacher to allow for individual students differences in the grading process. In grades K-8, the year-end grade will be determined
by averaging the six-week grades. (Board Policy IHA)
