  3. The Agenda The agenda is an important tool for communication between parent and teacher. Please sign and review it each night. You may also write or attach any notes you need us to see. Teachers will use the agenda to communicate any missing assignments or behavior concerns that have occurred that day.

  8. Reasons for Replacing Point-Based Grades with a Standards-Based System: • Grades should have meaning. • Grades should reflect whether a student has mastered the material not whether they did their homework, arrived on-time or turned in extra credit. • Grades should communicate student progress toward specific learning objectives. 4. Grades must be given for clear objectives that can be met with quality work.

  9. Assessment Rubrics A rubric is an evaluation tool consisting of specific criteria, a measurement scale and descriptors of the characteristics for each score point. This benefits students because they will have clear goals for their work at the beginning of each unit.
