Academics

Grades are based on Academic Proficiency  - Grades reflect proficiency of standards as measured by varied assessments and a body of evidence. Homework, behaviors, and essential skills can be recorded in the grade book to monitor progress and provide feedback, but should not be used to penalize a student's grade. This standards-based learning system ensures grades are based on academic proficiency (0 - 4 Proficiency Scale).

Assessment Evidence - Assessment evidence informs students' proficiency levels as well as provide necessary data to improve learning and instruction. It can be used summatively to demonstrate proficiency or formatively to provide feedback and adjust instruction, depending on where the student is in their learning process.

A Culture of Revision - All students can succeed in achieving proficiency of academic content. Building a culture of revision in our schools challenges students to continue their learning until they meet or exceed proficiency.
