Standards-Based Grading
The Fort Osage School District uses a standards-based grading sytem K-12 to monitor student mastery of learning goals for each subject. Standards-based grading is a strategy used in schools and districts across the country because it allow teachers, students and their parents to closely monitor students' attainment of specific skills. This information is more helpful than a summary letter grade because it clearly identifies areas of strength and concern.
The resources below are intended for families as they work with their teachers to ensure that each child attending school in Fort Osage is achieving at high levels.
