Grading Policy

Grades K-3 use a comprehensive approach to evaluating and reporting progress to our student’s families. Each child is evaluated in the following areas:

• Personal and Social Development
• Language and Literacy
• Mathematical Thinking
• Scientific thinking
• Social Studies
• The Arts
• Physical Development

A summary report is compiled in each of these areas of learning. It includes brief comments from the teacher about the child’s progress, strengths, and area of concern. This is sent home four times a year. A portfolio of the each child’s work is also kept in order to show the progress and the process of the learning as it happens throughout the year. A conference is also offered at each reporting period, as well as, upon request anytime during the year.
