Please note that faculty have added HAL Grades for their subject on PowerSchool on Friday September 6. At ISB, students are assessed in two distinct areas: i) in relation to stated learning standards using an 7-1 grade descriptor and ii) in relation to their approach to learning using a 7-1 number grade. We call this second area the Habits and Attitudes to Learning or HAL grade.
The HAL grade gives students and parents an indication of dispositions of students as they develop the characteristics of growth and learning. Please keep in mind that in most classes, there will be only one or two completed assessments at this time of year. Also note, the HAL grade is not part of the academic achievement grade. You will find a copy of the HAL grade rubric and criteria here.
If you have any questions regarding this assessment, I encourage you to contact the teacher directly. The first overall academic achievement grade will be posted on September 27.
