Fork Shoals School
A Rich Heritage of Cultivating World Class Learners
Grading Procedures
“We are not in the business of failure. Our mission is to excel!”
At Fork Shoals School, we are committed to our students experiencing their greatest success at school. We recognize that in order for this to be accomplished, students, teachers, and parents all play a vital role in continuous student achievement.
It is our belief that not all students learn the content at the same pace. With this in mind, we are committed to allowing students to learn and relearn in order to show their mastery of the content by redoing missed items on some assessments. If a student’s grade is a D or lower, they will be highly encouraged to correct the missed items their assessment. Students scoring a C or higher are able to correct missed items to show their mastery. All corrections are to be completed within two days and will be offered for partial credit.
When minor graded assessments are returned, students should correct the missed items on a piece of paper, noting where they found their information for the corrected answer. A parent signature is also required. Half credit for each corrected answer will be added to the quiz grade. These corrections will allow students to learn any items that were missed to help in their knowing and understanding of the information.
- No corrections will be offered on spelling tests.
- Corrections will be offered for minor assessments only.
- Majors will be redone when the class average is below a 77.
Another component of our grading procedures involves the posting of grades. Grades are posted in Power School within ten days of the assessment. All parents can receive access to the Parent Portal to observe and monitor their child’s grades. Please be sure to get the login information from the front office if you do not already have it.
Greenville County Schools has a set “floor” of 62. No grade below 62 will be recorded. If a child receives a grade below 62, then the floor will be posted. To keep parents informed, the actual grade will be on the assessment to make parents aware of the need for academic improvement.
We hope that this information provides for you a framework to show our passion for improved student achievement. With each of us working together, the children of Fork Shoals will have the chance to experience their best as they continue on their academic journey.
I have read and understand the grading procedures for students to make corrections on minor assessments.
