Grading Update for Kindergarten-Grade 2
Beginning this school year, Burkburnett ISD will transition from standards-based grading to a traditional A-F grading scale for students in Kindergarten through Grade 2.
This change is designed to:
Provide a grading system that is more familiar and easier for families to understand.
Make communication about student progress clearer.
Create greater consistency across grade levels.
Respond to parent feedback requesting a simpler way to understand student learning.
