These Grading Guidelines for Secondary Schools were designed to ensure that the interpretation of policies and the applications result in consistent assessment practices within schools by:

  • assisting classroom teachers in evaluating student progress fairly;
  • describing the procedures for determining student grades; and
  • communicating to parents the progress of students attending VBCPS.
