Information for Parents About Student Grades for Special Area Classes and Middle School Electives

Beginning this nine weeks, students in 4th grade, 5th grade, and middle school will receive letter grades in Special Area and Elective classes. Four separate marking indicators will be used to reflect student progress. These letter grades do not reflect an accumulation of points or the more traditional grading methodologies used in other core subject areas. Instead, this is a cumulative evaluation over the course of the grading period.

The marking indicators are:


 “A” - Always    

  • comes prepared to class, ready to learn

  • participates in class activities & discussions

  • completes all assignments to the best of his/her ability

  • respects teachers, classmates, and materials


“B”—Frequently    

  • comes prepared to class, ready to learn

  • participates in class activities & discussions  

  • completes most assignments to the best of his/her ability

  • respects teachers, classmates, and materials


“C” —Occasionally 

  • comes prepared to class, ready to learn

  • participates in class activities & discussions 

  • completes most assignments to the best of his/her ability

  • respects teachers, classmates, and materials


“D” - Hardly ever    

  • comes prepared to class, ready to learn

  • participates in class activities & discussions 

  • completes assignments to the best of his/her ability

  • respects teachers, classmates, and materials


“F” - Never

WEDNESDAY , OCTOBER 27th
PURPLE PINKIE DAY

SIGSBEE'S GOAL: $550 ($1.00 from each child)


In 1985, Rotary International began an effort to eliminate Polio worldwide.  Polio has not been a problem in the United States for many years, but this is not the case in many developing countries.  By partnering with the World Health Organization, Rotary International has achieved 99% reduction of Polio worldwide.  The Rotary Clubs in Key West have been participating in this effort from the beginning.

With the Purple Pinkie Project, we wish to make our school students part of the solution. On October 27th, our S.A.V.E. Promise Club will paint your child’s pinkie for The Rotary Clubs in Key West.

It takes $1.00 to immunize five children from polio.  Students are encouraged to bring $1.00 or more to help eliminate Polio worldwide and raise awareness throughout our community. Please send the cash to your child's homeroom teacher in an envelope with your child's name. The teacher will hold the $ until the event and allow your child to donate it directly.

When a student puts $1.00 in the Purple Pinkie Bucket, the school will paint his/her pinkie with Gentian Violet as a symbol of one child immunized from Polio. 

Gentian Violet is a topical dye used by Rotary International to mark children after they have been immunized from Polio.  This prevents double dosage.  It is safe.  It has been confirmed safe by our Health Department.

Gentian Violet is brilliantly purple and will leave your child’s finger colored for a day or two. 

Please fill out THIS FORM if you DO NOT want your child to have their finger painted. You may still donate.
