Green Graded Work Folder: Your child’s green graded work folder will normally be sent home on Tuesdays. This allows your child time to correct mistakes from the previous week’s assessments. Please review each paper with your child and sign the Graded Work sheet. Be sure to return the folder, papers, and signed Graded Work sheet the next day. The “grade” or number on each paper corresponds to the following standards code which will also be on progress reports and report cards.
(93%-100%) Advanced = Superior mastery of skill; significantly prepared for the next level of study
(85%-92%) Proficient = Mastery of skill; prepared for next level of study
(70%-84%) Basic = Partial mastery of skill; minimally prepared for next level of study
(69% and below) Below Basic = No mastery of skill; not prepared for the next level of study (69% and below)
