GRADING POLICY & PROGRESS REPORTS/REPORT CARDS You can click on the link, Wicomico County Grading Policy, to access the county grading policy or visit our school website and/or the WCBOE website to read the policy in its entirety. Assessments Throughout the school year, students will participate in local and state assessments that will assess their performance in Math and Reading. The iReady Diagnostic will be administered three times a year for students in grades 1-5 and two times a year for students in kindergarten. The MAP assessment will also be administered three times a year in grades 1-5 and two times a year for students in kindergarten. The information that is obtained will assist your child’s classroom teacher in meeting their academic needs in the classroom and identify the academic gains that your child has made. Students in grade 3-5 will participate in the MCAP state test administration in the Spring. Progress Reports & Report Cards Progress Reports and Report Cards will be available in Parent Portal on the dates outlined within the Wicomico County Board of Education School Calendar. Progress Reports are published halfway through each term and Reports Cards are published at the close of the term. All parents/guardians are encouraged to review your child’s Progress Reports and Reports Cards in order to celebrate their accomplishments and to set goals for the remainder of the year. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your students’ academic performance, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher to schedule a parent conference. G H HOMEWORK Homework is an extension of work introduced by the classroom teacher. When your child does have a homework assignment, you can assist by doing the following: • Provide a quiet workspace with all necessary supplies. • Set a time and routine for doing homework each night. • Check to see if assignments are completed in a neat and conscientious manner. • Help when necessary but do not take over the assignment. Each night students should read or be read to for at least 20 minutes. INCENTIVES We love celebrating not just academics, but good behavior and great attendance! It is important to come to school every day and be your best you. Good behavior will be acknowledged through quarterly PBIS Incentives. Students that earn the predetermined amount of Dojo points will be able to participate. Make sure you are showing the 3 P’s every day! Students will track their daily attendance through monthly calendars. Students that have outstanding attendance will be able to participate in Attendance Incentives throughout the school year to promote the importance of coming to school. I
