 Revised Grading Policy
1st and 3rd Quarter (Mid-semester) will be used as a Progress Period/Grade
or “Point-in-time” snapshot for each semester and NOT a summative
quarter grade. Summative or Final Grades will be given at the end of 1st
and 2nd semesters.

This Progress Period/Grade will be reflected as either:

Pass (P): Enough evidence to determine passing
Not Enough Evidence (NE): Not Enough Evidence to determine passing
No Grade (NG): No contact with student or no evidence submitted. This grade
will remain until changed by teacher or school official and will NOT
automatically convert to an “F” as per existing grading policy.

NOTE: Administration has the discretion to allow or require tiered grading

to be reported for the Progress Period/Grade.
 Revised Grading Policy
Grading for 2nd Quarter/1st Semester and 4th Quarter/2nd Semester will
reflect a Standards-Based/Tiered Grading system with 6-levels classified
as the following categories:

4– Exceeds Standard
3– Proficient
2– Approaching Proficiency
1– Needs Support
0– Unable to Perform
NE – No Grade / No Evidence

NOTE: Increments of .5 may be used to recognize partial mastery of a

level.
