The Fall River School District believes that grading for learning provides the foundation for delivering accurate, meaningful and consistent grades that support mastery level of learning. All administrators and teachers will implement these principles with fidelity to establish district level practices and procedures related to grading.
The purpose of grading in the Fall River School District is to communicate learning, growth, and achievement of our students in a consistent, practical and timely manner. In grading students, we will make informed instructional decisions to plan high quality, meaningful instruction for all students.
It is our belief that providing clear grading practices and procedures will lead to unbiased evaluation of student learning, growth, and achievement. The grades given reflect evidence of a student’s current level of academic performance in relation to specific standards. Grading practices will be clearly defined and communicated to all stakeholders.
