Grading and Reporting Policy
What do these changes mean for students and parent/guardians?
• Report cards will look different than traditional report cards. • High School Students will receive:
• Traditional Letter Grades• Detailed standards score(s)• Behavior Scores
• Schools will be providing information on both the student’s academic achievement and behavior. • Academic achievement will be assessed using the Oregon
Standards/Common Core Standards. • Students will also be assessed on behaviors that promote and support
career readiness
What is proficiency-based or standards-based grading?
• Standards-based grading is the evaluation of student performance against pre-established standards that have specified levels of proficiency. Well defined standards identify specific knowledge and skills. They should describe what a student should know and be able to do as a result of instruction and experiences in school.
• Proficiency levels describe how well a student is advancing towards meeting the standard.
• If a student is proficient for a standard this means they have met all the criteria for that standard at this point.
• Proficiency grading is part of a nationwide effort to help American children succeed as citizens and providers in a globally competitive environment.
• A proficiency-based or a standards-based learning system teaches and assesses student learning based on State/Common Core Standards.
• The goal of a standards-based system is to provide clear, effective feedback about student learning.

Questions
I understand how well my child has done when I see a letter grade. Numbers and letters are confusing.
• : Traditionally, a letter grade is an average of Traditionally, a letter grade is an average of total points earned per reporting
term.
This letter may include points for behaviors (turning in work on time, bringing/sharing supplies, attendance, etc.) that are not directly related to academic achievement.
In addition, in a traditional grading system, the grade is an average of the entire grading period rather than a representation of the growth of the student.
In a standards-based system, the student’s academic progress on specific over arching standards is reported, and this information is used to determine a grade.
• D9 On-line is a true credit by proficiency model.
• They have a variety of formative and summative assessments.
• They offer multiple assessment opportunities.• The confusion may be that they do not use a
four point scale because they contract with k12 for software materials.
