Grading & Report Cards

Behavior Expectations

Elementary School
Excellent (Purple or 4): goes above and beyond to demonstrate MIMS values. Students independently demonstrate understanding of routines and expectations without directions.
Satisfactory (Green or 3): demonstrates MIMS values. Students follow teacher directions or respond to teacher redirections immediately. 
Poor (Yellow or 2): fails to demonstrate MIMS values. Students need teacher redirections frequently and sometimes fail to comply. 
Unsatisfactory (red or 1): fails to demonstrate MIMS values which results in disruptions of the learning environment. Students consistently fail to respond to redirections.

Each elementary classroom teacher provides one conduct grade for each student per grading cycle:
Elementary school English teachers enter the conduct grade under English Reading.
Elementary school Chinese teachers enter the conduct grade under Mandarin Reading.

Middle School
Level system: Excellent, Satisfactory, Poor, Unsatisfactory
All students start at Satisfactory at the beginning of each grading cycle
Move down one level: fail to follow teacher redirections
Move back up one level: consistently follow teacher directions and classroom rules (individual goals)

Middle school teachers enter the conduct grade per class.

In-School Suspension (ISS) or Out of School Suspension (OSS) will result in an unsatisfactory “U” conduct grade for the referring classroom.
