GRADING PRACTICES
GRADING PRACTICES
Learning is a process that takes place over time and at different speeds for different students. Grades are a reporting tool utilized to reflect what a student knows and is able to do in a content area. We measure
achievement, not effort or behavior, in our grading system. The grading scale is shown in the graphic to the right.
The 4-1 standards grades will be averaged to produce a course grade which will be reported as an A-F using this conversion scale.
ATTENDANCE-Please call in absences by 9 a.m. Thank you.
One of our goals is to encourage improved attendance and on time arrivals at New River Elementary School. We need your help in accomplishing this goal. You can assist by ensuring your child attends school on a regular basis and is ready for the bus on time each day. Each year our school board approves a school calendar (included in newsletter). We ask that you plan all vacations and special appointments around these calendars. Even though medical and dental appointments are excused absences, they should be scheduled after school hours or during recess times whenever possible. If your child is unable to attend school, please call and advise the school office of the reason for the absence by 9:00 a.m. at 623-376-3590. This is an automated voice mail system and will be available for your use 24 hours a day. An unreported absence will result in a phone call from the office to the parent at home or at work. If phone contact has not been made with the school, the parent should send a note to the teacher the morning the student returns to school. The note should contain the student’s name, date(s) of absence, specific reason for absence and the parent’s signature.
