Grades & Mastery
Grades at CAVA are standards based, with an emphasis on student mastery of standard specific content.
Mastery can be tracked in the OLS under "Courses", with a goal of 2-3% mastery each week.
Progress reports are shared bi-weekly by Mrs. Donaghy to your email address on file.
During our LIVE classes we focus on a mix of OLS focused content and the 5 Essential Standards (GVC).

Standards based grading can feel confusing at times, but a fair way to convert standard based grades to "traditional" letter grade scales (which you will experience in middle school) can be viewed in this chart ➡️
