Grading Guidelines<\/h2>\n[vc_column_text]Members with elementary students are required to submit year-end grades on June 7th<\/sup>.\u00a0 The grading scale options are listed below \u2013 traditional and non-graded.\u00a0 The numerical averages are those of the SC uniform grading scale.\u00a0 Most primary instructors use traditional grading (averages) for subjects in which the materials provide regular tests or quizzes.\u00a0 The non-graded scale is used for subjects in which the materials are activity-based and do not provide tests.\u00a0 Many members issue grades using a mix from both scales depending on the materials used.\u00a0 You may submit grades for extra-curricular areas in which your child is involved; however, they are not required.<\/p>\n
