Grading Policy

Bedford County uses standard based grading for grades Kindergarten-2nd grade.  The purpose of graded work is to provide you with information regarding the progress your child is making. The following guidelines will be used to assess student performance on second grade academic standards.

 

4=Above Proficient (The student works above second grade level. It is rare to see this number on graded work or on the report card.)

3=Proficient (The student works on grade level. This is the grade that reflects where your child should be.)

2=Below Proficient (The student works below grade level.  This indicates that your child needs more practice to show mastery.)

1=Insufficient (The student does not show proficiency.  This indicates that your child needs lots of practice in the standard.)

 

* Please disregard any grades on PowerSchool that reflect a letter grade or percentage.  That grading is used starting in 3rd grade and is not an accurate reflection of your child’s progress.

Please go over your child’s assignments with them to help reinforce those skills that need reinforcing! If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
