Uniform Information Beginning in 3rd grade, your child MUST wear a belt as part of their uniform if they have belt loops on their shorts/pants/skorts/jumpers etc. They must have their shirts tucked in at ALL times.
NEW Grading Information A big change from 2nd to 3rd grade, is letter grades. Your child will now be assigned letter grades based on the percentages they earn. Grades are based on the quality of work they do. Daily work, homework, projects, journals, tests, quizzes, participation, papers, and group work are several ways your child will be assessed and assigned a grade. Note that Homework is given a completion grade and not scored.
