Montessori doesn't typically have "grades" in the same way that traditional schools do, but the school is required to use the same progress report system as other SBCSC schools. The compromise that the staff was able to reach with SBCSC was to use the "Non Mastery, Partial Mastery and Mastery" designations instead of A-F letter grades.
Parents interested in seeing more specific information about their child(ren)'s progress can log in to Power School. You will see a list of subjects and you can see scores for specific assignments.
As an example, Carter's Science grade on the Progress Report (the paper sent home) said "PM" because his overall score was 40/80 or 50%, but that's really just due to two assignments not yet being complete - you can see this information on Power School:

In order to login to Power School for the first time, you need an "Accesss ID" and password, which were sent home to parents in February. You can request the information from the office again if you can't find the paper.
