  8. Math Log • Twice each grading period, students will be given a timed math facts test. • Students who show proficiency (90%) will not be responsible for the math log for the next 3-4 weeks.

  10. Grading Policy • Progress reports – Every 3rd week, parents will receive communication from the school. • Common Assessments – • Scores below 80% will be given the opportunity to retake one time for full credit after intervention. • Scores below 100% will also have the opportunity to retake for a better grade.

  11. Supplement • The supplement is a more detailed picture of your child’s progress in each subject area. • It will come home with your child’s report card. • The supplement is on the 1,2,3 scale and will need to be signed and returned each six weeks.
