Essential Skills Resources

Essential Skills - These skills are specific to WSSB students, yet may be more widely applied. While the first part of the year was spent focusing on developing these skill areas, these are skills will last the entire year and benefit students well beyond.

Standards Based Grading - WSSB is transitioning our grading practices to more accurately reflect each student’s demonstration of their learning through standards-based grades. Grades communicate how students are progressing with their learning based on standards.
