We are excited to share some important updates regarding our grading system in 5th and 6th grade core classes and 5th-8th grade specials classes and PE. As part of our commitment to providing a comprehensive and transparent assessment process, we are transitioning to a new grading scale known as the 4-3-2-1 grading scale for standards-based assessment.
