Grading Policy
Your grades are determined at the end of each 6 weeks for a progress report grade and at the end of the semester for a final grade.
Academic grades will be based on performance on assignments, quizzes, and projects, with an emphasis on assessments. Effort, citizenship, and work habits will be assessed separately from academic grades.
Work Habits Standards
O (outstanding) Work is turned in complete and on time. There are NO missing assignments and student is prepared daily and effectively manages class time.
S (satisfactory) Work is usually complete and turned in on time with few exceptions. Student is usually prepared for class and usually manages time well.
N (needs improvement) Work is often late or incomplete. Student inconsistently manages class time.
U (unsatisfactory) Work is rarely complete or tuned in on time. Student rarely comes to class prepared to learn and rarely manages class time effectively.
Conduct/ Citizenship Standards
O (outstanding) Student is always on task and participates with respect.
S (satisfactory) Student is consistently on task and participates with respect with few exceptions.
N (needs improvement) With multiple reminders student is on task and participates.
U (unsatisfactory) Student is rarely on task and/ or rarely participates.
Late Policy:
Late work is accepted and you are encouraged to turn in all assignments to show work ethic and progress towards mastery of skills. When general work is late it cannot be considered exceptional. Therefore, points will be deducted for late work. After one week a grade of C is the highest points possible on general assignments, unless stated in a student’s IEP or 504. Major assignments are an exception, and will be graded strictly on assignment and/or rubric criteria. Under this policy, turning in late work benefits your grade, and you will not fail a class because of late assignments.
