RRISD Grading Policy
Third- Fifth Grade District Grading Policy:
Students earn numerical grades on a 0-100 scale.
When calculating a nine-week average for a content area, daily work will count for 70%, and tests and projects will count for 30%.
Redo/Retake
Any grade below a 70 is considered failing, and the student will have a reasonable and fair opportunity to be retaught and to redo the assignment to further develop his/her understanding of the concept, earning a grade up to a 70. Students will receive a work alert in Wednesday folders for all grades below a 70. Work alerts must be returned with a parent signature and corrected assignment by the following Monday.
Specials Classes

Progress Reports/Conferences
A progress report will be sent home during the fourth week of each quarter for all students.

Parents and teachers may request a conference at any other time for other academic or behavioral concerns. Parents are able to view grades at any time through the Home Access Center.
