Letter grades are based on three categories: OLS Assessments, Growth Assessments &
Teacher Graded Assignments. Category weights for each grade level can be found in Appendix
B. Weights may change based on curriculum or state proficiency expectations. Any changes
will be communicated through homeroom teacher prior to the end of the quarter.
OLS Assessments are calculated by the average of the scores the student receives on the
lesson, unit and semester courses in the OLS. Assessments not completed by the Monday
after their due date according to the daily plan in the OLS will be marked with a M for missing
in the OLS Gradebook, which greatly impacts the overall average as it acts as a zero in the
gradebook.
Growth Assessments – OVCA utilizes the Growth Assessment at the beginning of the year,
mid-year and end of year to determine the academic needs of our students. Students will
receive a participation grade for completing the assessment during the assigned testing
window. Students who complete the assessments during the testing window will receive full
credit (50 points) as a participation grade. Students who do not complete the assessments during the assigned testing window will receive a 0 as a participation grade and will have their account locked until the assessments are complete.
Teacher Generated Assessments (TGA) – Teachers will assign and collect assignments
(including writing) routinely throughout the year. Late penalties may apply to assignments
completed after the due date. Reminders will be posted in the OLS announcements, sent
through email, mentioned in Class Connects, and in the grade level newsletters. Teachers will
offer assistance during Class Connects so students will be able to submit work on or before
the due date. Writing projects are submitted at least quarterly.
Each teacher reserves the right to require other assignments to help students master grade
level objectives. Additional assignments will be sent in email and explained in classes. It is
the student’s responsibility to review email daily and attend required class connects sessions
to receive information about additional assignments. These additional assignments will be
included in report card grades and posted in the OLS Gradebook.

ELEMENTARY PE/HEALTH GRADING POLICY
The PE/Health is a course that contains a health lesson and a fitness log to be completed
daily. Students will document time spent on physical activities on the fitness log provided in
the PE/Health lesson and complete the lesson activities. PE/Health grades will be figured once
a quarter based on completion of lessons in the PE/Health course. The grading scale for
PE/Health is an S for satisfactory and a U for unsatisfactory. Students that stay on-track with
lesson completion will receive an S for satisfactory. Students that complete less than 50% of
the expected lessons will receive a U for unsatisfactory.

Report cards are sent at the end of each quarter for Elementary and at the end of each
semester for Middle and High School students. Student must have been enrolled a minimum
of 26 days in a quarter to receive a report card. Middle School students also receive a progress
report at the end of first quarter and third quarter. Students must be enrolled by the below
dates to receive a report card for that quarter.

Students are recognized for their hard work each at the end of each grading period based on the criteria below:
