General Information:
Grading System: Third graders receive letter grades for all academic subjects. Homework assignments are checked in class and returned on the stay home side of your child's take home folder. Class assignments are graded out of the points system. (Ex. 6/10 or 22/26) Tests are scored out of the points system also and will be assigned a letter grade. 100%-90% is an A 89%-80% is a B 79%-70% is a C 69%-60% is a D 59% and below is an F.
These are how your child’s grades are broken down:
Writing- Written paragraphs (formal and informal)
Social Studies, Science and Math- Class work and Tests/Quizzes
ELA-Formal and informal reading assessments (class work) and student growth toward reading standards.
Fundations-Quizzes at the end of each unit.
Homework: Homework assignments are copied down in your child’s agenda on a daily basis. Homework will be given Monday-Thursday. The only homework that may be assigned on Fridays are long term notices of test, quizzes or reviews for upcoming tests. Please remember to initial your child’s agenda daily and check to see if all assignments are completed.
Money: Please send money to school in a sealed envelope with the following information: your child's name, your child's teacher's name, and the activity for which it is for on the envelope. A check is the best form of payment. You may also choose to use MySchoolbucks, an online option.
Birthday Policy: Third grade is unable to celebrate children’s birthdays with parties during instructional time. The school cannot give out student names, addresses, and telephone numbers for party invitations. Party invitations are not to be distributed in class.
Field Trip Policy: If you would like to attend any of your children’s field trips this year, you MUST attend of the volunteer training online. Parents must take the volunteer training at least 7 school days prior to field trip. There will be NO exceptions. If you would like to help, please make sure you take the course as soon as you can. We are sorry but we cannot take every parent that signs up to chaperone.
Communication: You may contact any teacher by calling the school, 410-386-4440. You may also write a note in your child’s agenda and your child’s teacher will be happy to respond. Another great way is through e-mail.
Volunteers: If you would like to volunteer in the classroom or run copies please let your child’s teacher know what days and times you are available. Any help is very much appreciated.
Recess: Please do not send your child in with toys from home. We have activities here for the students. This prevents possessions from being stolen.
