GRADING POLICY
• standards-based
• the grade book will consist of fewer grades - helps us determine whether or not you have mastered the language arts
standards
• Each quarter, the categories will change to reflect the standards
• Under each category, there will be only one or two assessments that will test student mastery and depth of knowledge
• You will practice and receive feedback on progress before you are required to complete the assessment for a grade.
![Page 20: Welcome to 8 th grade! Mrs. Steele Language Arts 8Blue.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b897f8b9ab0599be0be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Retaking Tests/Quizzes
