Get the facts & answers to frequent questions about new SCS Grading Protocols.

We believe students and parents should receive information regularly about academic progress to facilitate learning and parent engagement. The grading protocols linked below are aligned with Board policy and provide a foundation for consistent grading practices across the District in grades 1-12, from teacher-to-teacher and school-to-school.

Please note, the protocols are now active and should currently be implemented in schools.  Also included within the documents are the grading categories applicable to each grade-band, as well as the weights and minimum number of grades for each category. For more information about grading protocols, contact Tonya Cooper, coopertd@scsk12.org.
