Current Grades are posted every week in class.
Students are also given a detailed progress report, attached to each test, to be signed by a parent or guardian.  Parents may check weekly progress online or obtain a print out by request. Progress reports are updated online every Wednesday.

Britton Middle School is exploring options for posting grades.  For the 2008/2009 School year, many teachers will be posting grades online through WebGrade. Parents are also welcome to request a current grade directly from the teacher at any time, by email, phone, or in person.

Grading

1.0 Philosophy
The primary basis for grading is to measure pupil achievement against approved course objectives. It shall be the student's responsibility to do the work necessary for achievement of these objectives and it shall be the teacher's responsibility to cover such objectives during the course. The determination of the student's grade shall be derived from:

     1.1 Evaluation, by the teacher, of student achievement of the course objectives.

     1.2 Consideration, or attitude, effort, conduct and attendance, may affect the grade(s).

2.0 Grading

     2.1 The teacher, or department, shall determine the concepts, skills, quality level, and objectives students can reasonably be expected to reach or master in the subject area during the grading period. These expected achievement levels shall be based upon the District adopted course of study.

     2.2 Grades shall be the traditional A to F.
