Elementary Special Area Class Grades

There are only three marking indicators used to reflect elementary student progress in Special Area Classes (including Art, Library, Music, and Physical Education). These letter grades do not reflect an accumulation of points or the more traditional grading methodologies used in other core subject areas. They reflect a cumulative evaluation of skills and exercises over the course of the grading period. The marking indicators are:

• S = Strength
• P = Appropriate Progress
• N = Needs Improvement

Full details about elementary special area class grades can be found on our website.
