All third fixes will cost the actual repair amount.

  16. Grades Students in 5th grade will get numerical grades in all content areas (Math, Science, Humanities). Categories: Sixty percent (60%) of a final grade shall be based on summative activities such as major projects, cumulative assignments and tests. Forty percent (40%) of a grade shall be based on formative activities such as class work, daily assignments and/or quizzes.

  17. Birthday Treats Due to rise in the number of scholars that have reported food-related allergies, we encourage parents to send a non-edible treat (stickers, pencils, etc...) to celebrate birthdays.
