How is my Child's Grade Calculated?

  • When determining each student's grade in Physical Education class, Mr. Miller looks at FIVE (5) criteria:

    • Student Achievement
    • Student Improvement
    • Student Effort
    • Student Conduct
    • Student Performance

    *Please take note that Physical Fitness Testing is not included in this calculation.  Physical Fitness testing is done to educate the student on their current health levels, not to help determine their Physical Education Grade!*

    The following grading key represents the Grading Policy for our special area subjects for students in third through fifth grade.   Grades are given at the end of each semester.   Formal grades are not given for either Library or World Language classes.
