Grading Policies
Students receive grades in all subject areas. TK-2nd receive academic grades and effort grades. 3rd - 8th receive academic grades as well as citizenship and effort grades. Grades for citizenship and effort are determined for each student individually and independently of academic achievement.
CCS believes that grading which only emphasizes test results minimizes the significance of daily classroom instruction, homework and student participation in class.
Grading in grades TK-2 reflect the following:
E = Excellent Student achievement/effort is significantly higher than grade
level expectations.
G = Good Student achievement/effort is at a high level.
S = Satisfactory Student achievement/effort is at grade level expectations.
I = Improving Student is moving toward achievement/effort that is at grade
level expectations.
N = Needs Student is not achieving/making effort at acceptable levels.
