Meeting next week on Bigfork grading changes

An informational meeting about standards-based grading will be Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Bigfork schools cafeteria.

As a way to help prepare students for the new state requirements, middle school staff members have expressed interest in using standards-based grading in sixth through eighth grades. This could do away with traditional letter grading. Standards based grading is currently used in grades K through 5.
