• Music Class Grades
     
    All classes at Richards use a standards-based report card, called the Growth Model Report Card (GMRC).  The GMRC represents students’ progress toward proficiency of critical standards using the following scale:
     
     
     1     2  3  4
     Below grade-level standards  Approaching grade-level standards  Meets grade-level standards Exceeds grade-level standards
