What are these portfolios?

A portfolio is a form of alternative assessment.  It is used as a 
test grade 
when it is finally handed in as a grade.  It acts as a storage 
device for 
mini assignments that are graded.  The student then has the 
opportunity to 
constantly fix and do better on most assignments.  There is a 
portfolio for 
Reading, English and 
Math.  Check in with your children to make sure that all of their 
enties are 
up to date and organized and that they are doing the best that 
they can.  
The 
student needs to hand in 5 of their best entires in the end for a 
final 
grade.

How Do Homework Slips Work?

Students will recieve a homework slip each time they forget a 
homework 
assignment. Each homework slip will result in 5 points being 
deducted from 
their homework grade. If your child recieves three slips in a 
quarter, they 
will be assigned after school detention.

they read.
