Grading Policy

You will be graded on a Points-Based System. Tests, quizzes, classwork, homework, online tasks, and participation will be assigned a set number of points. This should encourage you to put the same amount of effort and importance into ALL assignments.

Assessments:

Math

• Students will be able to make test corrections for 1/2 points back if they score below 70

•  You must use the "Test Correction Sheet" when making test corrections, or you will not receive credit.

Language Arts

• You will be given assessments throughout the year including the following: 

  • Grammar

  • Writing

  • Reading Comprehension

Participation:

Each week you will receive a participation grade.  I will be looking to see if you are prepared, participating, attentive, and trying your best. This includes that your Chromebook is charged BEFORE you come to school!

General Information:

In order to receive the maximum amount of points for each assignment, you must do the following:

• Complete ALL parts of the assignment.

• ALL work must be shown (Math)

• Hand in assignments on time

• I ask that you attempt each problem. It is important to show any understanding of the problem. (Math)

• Points will be deducted if you are missing one of the criteria listed above

If you ever have questions about something you do not understand, be prepared to ask them in class the next day. You may also email me at [email protected]
