Along with updates to our content area grading, we have also made updates to provide consistency in our specials grading from kindergarten through sixth grade. Graded specials classes include physical education, music, art, library, STEAM, as well as Band in fifth and 6th grade. Grades will be provided each semester (marking periods two and four) and will be available at any time for review through PowerSchool's Parent Portal. The following scale will be used in each of our specials class to provide feedback on a student's performance:
4 - EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS: Student consistently and independently exceeds grade-level standards.
3 - PROFICIENT: Student is consistently and independently meeting grade-level standards.
2 - DEVELOPING: Student is inconsistent in meeting grade-level expectations independently. Support is necessary for success.
- 1 - EMERGING: Student is not yet able to meet grade-level expectations independently. High levels of support are needed for success.
You may notice that a percentage grade is still visible on the PowerSchool Parent Portal. This percentage correlates to the scale above, but will not be visible on the report card. It also doesn't represent a traditional letter grade like the other grades on the report card.
