Grades
Here is some information that I believe in when it comes to grades. Although I understand that grades are necessary in our society and that grades are an amazing external reward for some students, I encourage you to look at grades with caution.

As 8th grade students and parents, please use information on Skyward as a means of communication, learning, and growth. Grades do not reflect your self worth, nor do they directly reflect your intelligence.
**Grades reflect what students understand or don't understand. What is most important is how students react to a bad grade. Do they give up and say they aren't smart enough OR do they come to class asking questions, getting help from the teacher/friends, and doing more practice problems than what was assigned.**
