PHILOSOPHY We believe that students have a right to receive grades that represent an accurate evaluation of achievement and that thoughtful, informed assessment promotes learning. We believe that grades:

reflect progress and mastery in meeting state-wide standards, district standards and mastery of approved course objectives;

are earned, not given; are based on a sufficient amount of graded work; are based on a logical and justifiable grading process; are derived from varied types of assessments; and are weighted and balanced. We believe that grades must provide clear, useful, and relevant information to students, parents, and the community. Grades should enable students and parents to track academic progress. A close working relationship between home and school is essential.
