In an effort to focus more clearly on student learning, it is necessary to have a grading policy that is fair, consistent, and meaningful. The following guidelines are to be implemented.

 

1.1 Grading Scale – Total Points

       1.1.1.

  

 

 

 

 

 

     
       1.1.2. In order to teach for learning, when a teacher determines based on homework and quizzes that students need reteaching,
                 the teacher will reteach and reassess the class.  Chapter Test/Unit Test will use the standard grading policy and re-takes
                 will not be adminstered. We encourage students who fall below their potential or who are not happy with their grade, to
                 attend tutoring and see their teacher for assistance before/after school.

      
       1.2 Assignments

       1.2.1. Assignments for skill practice will be monitored and students will be provided feedback to support their
                 learning.

       1.2.2. Assignments for assessment will be graded using the standard grading scale.

       1.2.3. Incomplete work, not due to excused absences, shall be left blank in the grade book. The student will
                 then be given the opportunity to complete the work during intervention time or another assigned time
                 within the academic unit.

       1.2.4. Extra credit will only be given for assessment related assignments.

       1.3 Make-Up/Late Work

       1.3.1. According to Board Policy, students have three days to make arrangements to make up work.

       1.3.2. Make-up work turned in within deadline stipulated by the school shall receive full credit for the work
                 completed.

       1.3.3. Late work will have completion deadlines as determined by the team/teacher.
