The Board approves the grading and reporting systems as developed by the faculty, upon recommendation of the Superintendent. The Board recognizes that any grading system, however effective, has subjective elements. There are fundamental principles which must guide all instructors in the assignment of marks and achievement. The achievement mark in any subject should represent the most objective measurement by the teacher of the achievement of the individual. A variety of evaluation measures are used and accurate records shall be kept to substantiate the grade given.
Grades are a factor used to motivate students.
Poor or failing grades should trigger a variety of instructional and intervention activities to assist the student in achieving better grades by the next grading period, if possible.
