Monday Grade Reports

Each Monday I will send home a progress report with your child. Every report will include up-to
-date grades. Make sure to ask your child to see this report EACH Monday! There is a space for
you to sign at the bottom. Every signed and returned progress report is worth 5 bonus
points that will be added to their 9-week final grade.

How are Grades Calculated?

Assignments are graded differently based on what type they are. The categorizes and weights
are listed below.
