First Graders will receive Letter Grades

This school year First Grade students will receive letter grades. This is a change from our previous P, I, E, and N grading scales.

Our Grading Scale is as follows:

100-90 - A
89-80 -  B
79-70 -  C
69-60 - D
59-50 - F


****We do NOT record any grade lower than 50% in our gradebook. A child may have only had one answer correct out of ten (which would usually give them a 10%), but I do not record that grade as a 10%; I record it as a 50%. The chance of a student recovering from a 10% is minimal, while the 50% doesn't make their data fall as low.

We will be having our first conference shortly. Please make sure that you turn in the form with your 3 preferred dates so that I can promptly schedule our conference.

We will be discussing:

q  Grade Level Expectations and Proficiencies

q  Midterm/Report Card/Grading System

q  Skyward – Biweekly Grade Reports   

q  Common Core State Standards

q  Present Levels of Performance

q  Mandatory Retention Law (FS 1008.25)

 

 

I am always available to help and/or discuss your child. Thank you for your support!
