4th-8th Grades
Formative vs Summative
When we started the year our new platform had grades weighted as shown below:
- Summative (Tests) - 100% of your child's grade
- Formative (The work in the classroom) - 0% of your child's grade
In these first 6 weeks of school we have learned a lot and have decided to adjust those weights. As of today, your child's grades are now weighted like this:
- Summative (Tests) - 80% of your child's grade
- Formative (The work in the classroom) - 20% of your child's grade
If you have any questions, please let us know!
K-3 Grades
We are currently building the gradebook and assessments in the Canvas platform. It is important to us that you have a one-stop shop for your child's academic progress. This has to be done from the ground up so you will have a 1st quarter update before we head into break. Once 2nd quarter begins, there will be weekly submissions to keep you in the know on a more regular basis.
Stay tuned for your 1st quarter progress report for more details! You will also begin to see grades pop up on your Canvas Parent Account. Please let us know if you have any questions!
If you have not set up your parent account please do so as soon as possible! (https://secure.smore.com/n/2dn80)

Important and Repeat News
Tardy to School
Administration will have yellow and red flags on Monday. If you see a yellow flag, your child has 60 seconds to get into the building. Once you see the red flag the front office door will be locked and and your child will need to buzz into the office. They will receive a tardy note from the front desk and then proceed to class.
- "Playground" doors will continue to open at 7:15 a.m.
- At 7:40 a.m. administration will have students enter through the front office, as usual.
- At 7:44 a.m. yellow flag will be raised.
- 7:45 a.m front door will lock and red flag will raise.
Your child MUST be in the building by 7:45 a.m. to not be considered tardy. Getting out of the car at 7:45 a.m. does not count!
Administration will provide extra time if deemed necessary for heavy traffic or rain
Tardy to Class?
5th-8th Grade
If a student is 1-4 minutes late they will be considered tardy and it will be documented on a school-based data platform. When a student receives their third tardy it will result in a after-school detention. Your child could make it in the building by 7:45am and still be late to class! Please get to school early enough that you are providing your child travel time in the hallways!
