Grading Policy for Grade 4
Your child will be graded as follows:
“B” for Beginning---Children cannot complete the task independently. They show little understanding of the concept or skill.
“D” for Developing---Children show some understanding. Errors or misunderstandings still occur. Reminders, hints, and suggestions are needed to promote understanding.
“S” for Secure---Children can apply the skill or concept correctly and independently.
Corrections of daily and weekly assignments:
Your child has the opportunity to correct all papers that receive failing grades for my classes. If you see the notation “Correct” on an assignment, your child is expected to redo the work for the next school day and turn it in for an improved grade. Students can ask me for help, use their book, and/or ask for parent guidance. I will recheck the work and issue a new grade which is the average of the old grade and the new grade. If the work is still failing, I ask the child to see me at a recess to receive more specific help. You will find a notation saying “With teacher help” on this kind of assignment.
If you see a notation saying "Correct?" your child (or you) may decide if the work should be corrected for a better grade or not. Again, I will recheck the work and issue a new grade, which is the average of the old grade and the new grade.
If, at any time, you or your child question how an assignment was graded or the grade received, please do not hesitate to contact me about your concern. If you wish to stop in, please set up a time to see me first, so that we can have an uninterrupted discussion.
Thank you!
