But, the transition to standards-based education and grading in 2011 came with a promise — that the district would listen to input from staff and parents and use it to fine-tune the system.
Two years after the initial implementation of SBE, the district has reworked the process for calculating grades based on parent, staff, student and administrator input.
The steps in reaching a final grade starts with how assignments and assessments are graded.
Assignments are graded according to how well a student demonstrates understanding or mastery of the related standards.
