In
order to simplify the grading policies of the Level 1 Classes, we have created a grading tier system that will be uniform throughout the grade level. Language B, the Fine Arts, and Technology will keep their previous grading system due to teaching multiple grade levels. We have developed this tier system in order to accommodate the varied activities and assessments that occur in each class. Please take the time to review with your child the meaning of the weighted assignments as this is very different from elementary school. We are excited with all of the progress we have made so far this year, and look forward to continuing great things throughout the rest of the year.

 

Sincerely,
