What is a rubric?
A rubric is one way of assessing the children's work. It looks for very specific skills or areas for that particular piece. Each skill is assigned a certain amount of points. If the child's work meets all the criteria for that skill, they get the most amount of points. If not, points are deducted accordingly. Rubrics do not have to add up to 100. They can be as few or as many as the person making up the rubric and the assessment feel is necessary.Back to Top

Do I have to send a note if my child is going home a different way?
YES!! It is extremely important that the teacher and school be notified about a change in dismissal. We are responsible for each child and don't want anyone lost or upset. Please do not just email me with the change as our internet access isn't alway working. If a change comes during the school hours, call the office and they will make sure I am notified. The school number is 215-673-5787.Back to Top
