|
Scope: This policy applies to all families with children enrolled in the Appoquinimink School District, to all members of the general public, and to all school district employees. Purpose: To establish a fair and consistent method of evaluating student work. Teachers shall be provided with a standardized record‐keeping system for student achievement which includes minimum instructional objectives and a place to certify whether each objective has or has not been mastered. Each school shall follow the Board approved District Grading Policy and the procedures developed by the Superintendent, or designee, to support this policy. Report cards to parents shall reflect the achievement of instructional objectives, teacher judgment of student effort, and class attendance. All parents shall be guaranteed a regular conference to discuss their child’s progress as well as special conferences as may be required. A grade is a measure of student achievement relative to district curricular goals and objectives. Grades serve to inform students, parents, teachers and administrators of the degree in which mastery has been attained and to help teachers adjust instruction to meet the individual needs of all students. It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to establish a process to develop, monitor and revise as needed, a fair, comprehensive procedure for teachers to follow when grading students. This policy shall be consistently applied and clearly communicated to all teachers, students, and parents. Notification and Dissemination The principal will annually inform all students, parents, and staff of the provision of this policy. Notification may occur as follows: • Publishing in faculty, student, and parent handbook and school newsletters • Posting the information on district/school website • Presenting at Open House and other assembly presentations • Reviewing with students at the beginning of the year • Refreshing throughout the year through homeroom and/or advisory periods • Posting for students and staff throughout the school • Providing to new students and families through the registration process You can download the full Evaluation and Grading policy here:
