Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you about an upcoming performance assessment and to provide clarity on how the rubric will be used to grade your child’s submission.
The purpose of the task is to assess your child’s understanding and application of [insert specific subject or skill here]. It is designed to encourage critical thinking, creativity, and effective communication skills, which are essential for their academic and personal development.
The assessment will be graded using a rubric, which is a scoring tool that outlines the criteria for evaluating the submission. The rubric categories include:
Knowledge and Understanding: This category assesses the depth of understanding demonstrated in the submission. It considers the accuracy and completeness of the content.
Critical Thinking and Analysis: This category evaluates the ability to analyze information, make connections, and think critically about the topic.
Creativity and Originality: This category focuses on the originality of ideas, creativity in presentation, and innovative approaches to the task.
Communication and Presentation: This category assesses the clarity, organization, and effectiveness of the communication in the submission, including written or oral expression.
Each category will be scored on a scale of 1 to 4, with 4 indicating exceptional performance and 1 indicating inadequate performance. The rubric score for each category will be added up to calculate an overall score for the submission.
To convert the rubric score to a student grade, we will use a predetermined grading scale, which will be communicated to both you and your child before the assessment. The grading scale ensures that the rubric score is translated into a fair and accurate representation of your child’s performance.
I want to emphasize that your involvement in your child’s education is crucial, and I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the upcoming assessment or the grading process. I am available to address any queries or provide additional assistance to support your child’s success.
Please feel free to contact me via email at [your email address] or by phone at [your phone number]. I am committed to open communication and collaboration with parents to ensure the best possible learning experience for your child.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to working together to support your child’s academic growth and achievement.
Warm regards,
