MCPS Report Card Grade Averaging

[Anonymous]

This might be a question that only MCPS teachers can answer. I have a teacher telling me she thinks my son is Proficient in a subject, but his grades averaged to an I because there were only two assignments that the grades were averaged from, neither on paper. The first assignment was before they mastered the topic and was an I and the other was a P. She said the computer averages an I and a P as an I. Can a teacher override the computer average if she thinks the student was proficient by the end of the marking period? It doesn't make sense to me on a number of levels.

A teacher can override a grade. Also, she is supposed to have at least 3 grades per measurement topic. Is this a grade 4 or 5 teacher? They are new to the grading program this year.

Thanks for your response. It's a specials teacher who has been a part of the new grading system before. Interesting to find out there are supposed to be 3 grades per measurement topic. She specifically said there were two in this case.

I don't think these report cards mean much. I'd be concerned if my kid got an N.

Does three grades per measurement topic mean there are supposed to be three grades averaged together for each report card grade? Again, this is probably a question for any MCPS teachers out there.
