Student Grades Student Grades

In the coming weeks, parents should receive an email with a login code for accessing grades. All teachers at Sonora Middle School implement Standards-Based Grading (SBG) and use the Empower platform to report grades. We have proficiency scales and rubrics specific to our essential standards, but below is a general scale and conversion to traditional grades. Here is also a FAQ overview. More info to come as we near 5-week progress reports and send out login codes!
