Bonsall High School students will be given report cards with grades each semester and progress reports at the end of the first and third quarters.
A 4-0 Bonsall Unified School District board vote Feb. 14, with Sylvia Tucker absent, approved the grading schedule for the 2014-15 school year.
BUSD superintendent Justin Cunningham noted that the use of progress reports is more appropriate for evaluating students’ handling of the Common Core curriculum. “We’re looking at being able to move along with the Common Core. The implementation of the Common Core is going to depend a lot more on performance tasks,” Cunningham said.
“We’ll keep the report card model for the semester,” Cunningham said. “We would take the performance tasks and share those with the parents after the first quarter and the third quarter.”
The progress reports will emphasize the various tasks. “It will be broken down,” Cunningham said.
“Parents can get a much better understanding of the evaluation rather than just a letter grade,” Cunningham said. “It’s going to take a much deeper look at learning.”
The 2014-15 first quarter will begin Aug. 25 and conclude Oct. 24. The second quarter will start Oct. 27 and end on Jan. 16, 2015. The third quarter will run from Jan. 19 to March 27. The fourth quarter will be from March 30 to June 11.
