  1. All classrooms will display and use the Apple Rubric for all assignments by the first reporting period (Fall '09). Students and parents will apply and understand the rubric.
  2. Grade Level Teachers will meet and write Common Assessments for Math. These assessments of 5-10 questions will be given in Mid-October beginning Oct. 2009 and every 6 weeks following. Results will be used to inform instruction and to provide remediation or enrichment as needed.
  3. Mid-Term Reports will be sent out in October and February beginning with the '09-'10 school year so that parents are better informed on their child's progress.
