Westside Intermediate School | Page 11 of 25 Grading Policy Assessments Throughout the school year, students will participate in local and state assessments that will assess their performance in Math and Reading. The MAP Growth and/or Fluency Assessments will be administered three times a year for students in grades K-5. Local formative and summative assessments will be utilized in grades K-1. The information that is obtained will assist your child’s classroom teacher in meeting their academic needs in the classroom and identify the academic gains that your child has made. Students in grade 3-5 will participate in the MSTAR state test administration in the Spring. Progress Reports & Report Cards Progress Reports and Report Cards will be available in the Parent Portal on the dates outlined within the Wicomico County Board of Education School Calendar. Progress Reports are published halfway through each term and Reports Cards are published at the close of the term. All parents/guardians are encouraged to review your child’s Progress Reports and Reports Cards in order to celebrate their accomplishments and to set goals for the remainder of the year. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your students’ academic performance, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher to schedule a parent conference. Homework Homework is an extension of work introduced by the classroom teacher. When your child does have a homework assignment, you can assist by doing the following: • Provide a quiet workspace with all necessary supplies. • Set a time and routine for doing homework each night. • Check to see if assignments are completed in a neat and conscientious manner. • Help when necessary but do not take over the assignment. Each night students should read or be read to for at least 20 minutes.
