MISD Grading Policy (excerpt) Elementary BASIS FOR EVALUATION The summative evaluation of a student’s program during a recording period will be based on sufficient data. Teachers will utilize a variety of assessments appropriate to the class, the students, and the TEKS/SEs under study. Regular and periodic assessment of student progress should be made using the following specific procedures: A. The following percentages shall determine the cumulative grade for each reporting period. Grades 1-2 All grades - 100% Grades 3-5: Major assignments – 40% Minor assignments - 50% Homework – 10% Grade 6: Major assignments – 60% Minor assignments 40% which may include homework; however, homework may not constitute more than one fourth of the minor assessment summative grade. B. During each grading period: a. At least one grade will be taken for each subject each week. b. At least two minor assignments grades and two major assignments grades will be taken. b. Each grade entered in the grade book must be clearly labeled by assignment and date. c. All grades must be recorded numerically on a scale from 0-100. d. A third party must be able to interpret the grade book accurately and independently to verify any summative evaluation that has been given. Any weighting or special methods of calculating summative evaluation must be clearly explained in the grade book and approved by the principal. e. The district’s electronic grading system will not record a grade of less than 50 as a grading period average unless the teacher has overridden the automatic grade assignment as permitted by state law.

Secondary

REPORTING ASSESSMENT TO STUDENTS Immediate and timely feedback to students on achievement and diagnosis of needed remediation are necessary to learning. Therefore, MISD asks that teachers report assessment to students in a timely manner. The following guidelines should be observed: A. Students shall receive feedback on every assignment. B. Students should receive feedback within three to seven days. Major assignments such as research projects, group projects, and research papers may require longer, but students should receive feedback within ten days. C. Student grades are confidential and should be treated accordingly. (Practices such as oral group disclosure, students grading another student’s work where a grade is placed on the assignment, or posting of grades by name should not occur.) BASIS FOR EVALUATION The summative evaluation of a student's program during a recording period should be based on sufficient data. Teachers shall utilize a variety of assessments and shall record a significant number of assessments for accurate documentation of a student's progress during a recording period. Regular and periodic assessment of student progress should be made using the following specific procedures:

A. The hard copy grade book or electronic grade book constitutes legal

documentation of student achievement. Anything which is considered in determining the summative grade for any grading period must be recorded in the grade book with the student’s grades for that grading period.

B. Some assessment should be recorded each week.

C. A student must have a minimum of six grades per six weeks and a mandatory

minimum of twenty-one grades during any given semester. Exceptions to these minimums, as a result of inherent characteristics of the goals of any given course, must have the prior written approval of a department chairperson and/or immediate supervisor.

D. Each grade entered in the grade book must be clearly labeled and dated.

E. All grades must be recorded in the grade book numerically on a scale from 0-100.

F. Any weighting or special methods of calculating summative evaluation must be

clearly explained in the grade book and approved by the principal. A third party must be able to interpret the grade book accurately and independently and to verify any summative evaluation that has been given.

G. The district’s electronic grading system will not record a grade of less than 50 as a

six-week average, unless the teacher has overridden the automatic grade assignment as permitted by state law.

H. Teachers shall record actual numerical exam grades.
