What does a check mean?

Grading can be tricky, it is different from the traditional grading scale we are used to as parents. There are two things you will want to monitor as a parent.

1. Papers that are coming home.
2. Report cards with Learning Target information

1. Papers that are coming home from weekly work should have a check on them. If they don't it may mean the student didn't finish the work during their class time. We go over these assignments as a class, so your student should have it finished and corrected. 

2. Report cards show what students know about broader topics like grammar skills, writing and reading comprehension. The scale is 1-4.
