ELEMENTARY Parent Information Night - Grading for Growth: Standards Based Grading The 2019-2020 school year is bringing a lot of excitement. We will be moving into our new school, experiencing our new space, and our students will be enjoying learning in their new grades! Another new item will be a grading/reporting system that more accurately shows the growth our students are making during each grading period. This is called Standards Based Grading.
We invite you to join us for a Parent Information Night on May 6th to learn about how Standards Based Grading is currently embedded into our daily practices and how our new report cards will better show students' growth.
