Grading and Reporting

Balanced Assessment Approach

  • Projects
  • Rubrics specific to assignments
  • Tests & quizzes
  • Performance tasks

Student understanding is assessed in multiple

  • ways. Each assessment type provides

information to guide and inform instruction to meet the needs of students.

School Grading Policies

  • Teachers will ensure consistent and equitable

grading practices given the 100% virtual learning environment.

  • Late Work: teachers will provide additional

flexibility for completion and submission of assignments.

  • Homework: No more than one hour per week
  • f asynchronous work (to include homework)

be assigned per standard/honors level course.

10

For parent reference: Secondary Grading & Reporting For school/team/teacher reference: Grading & Reporting Toolkit (use VPN)

In your class sessions, your child’s teachers will share details about grading & reporting

  • policies. Parents/students can also reference the course syllabus throughout the

school year.

Tips for Success in Online Learning

Break Ideas:

○ Take a screen break ○ Walk outside ○ Move, stretch, Yoga ○ Organize materials ○ Draw or doodle ○ Read ○ Drink water ○ Use the restroom ○ Reflect what went

well and what you can do better or set a goal

Dedicate a space for you to do your work, where your computer will be on a level

  • surface. Remember that everyone can see where you are working when your camera

is on. Dress for success. You may be on camera as you interact with your peers and teachers, so be sure to dress accordingly. Communicate with your teachers via email (your student ID# @fcpsschools.net). Also use this email to reach out to counselors and other school staff. Check for assignments and announcements in Google Classroom. Stick to a schedule. Follow the schedule for meeting with teachers. Use the other days to complete assigned work and check in when needed. Be open and flexible to learn this new way together!
