At Home Learning Grading

Dearborn Public Schools

K-12 Philosophy on Grading During School Closure 2020

  • Students will engage in remediation and new learning that aligns with essential standards for the remainder of the academic school year.
  • Assignments will be graded and entered in MiStar to ensure accountability.  
  • Teachers will continue to provide feedback to students on his/her performance.
  • Teachers will practice flexibility based on their knowledge of the student/family and have the ability to not count an assignment(s) for a student depending on his/her circumstances.
  • Work completed prior to April 20th that demonstrates a student’s mastery of learning will count toward his/her grade.

Elementary Grading Criteria – COVID-19 School Shutdown

For the current marking period:

Students receive feedback on weekly assignments in the form of narrative comments. 

  • Meeting:  regularly submitted work and attended check-ins
    • Accuracy of work assessed on standards/graded/recorded in MiStar
