By the April staff meeting, I am planning to have a finalized grading framework. It is my responsibility to make a final decision about the definitions of grades, but I am open to making changes to the definitions above. In the comments below, please give your own opinions (in a respectful way) to help me in creating some final definitions of what report card grades should mean.
Thanks!
