Grades

• Students will receive a letter grade A, B, C, D, F in the core subjects. 

        (LA, Math, Science, History, PE, Music)

• The grade in each subject is weighted:

  • 50% Assignments

  • 50% Tests/Quizzes/Projects

 

• The grade is based upon a straight grading scale:

  • 90%-100% is an A

  • 80%-89% is a B

  • 70%-79% is a C

I try to avoid + and - however, the grading program doesn’t let me avoid it completely

 

Late Work

Depending on the assignment or situation late work is accepted, however, only partial credit will be earned

 

**This includes no names**

 

Homework

Typically due the next day

 

• Students will complete math practice problems

• Language Arts homework is daily and designed to reinforce the correct spelling, grammar, and writing

• Reading 20 minutes a day and completing the Novel Study Journal

• Science and Social studies homework will be assigned on occasion

• Unfinished work will also be assigned as homework at times

 

Homework club

• Students wanting to stay in from the recess portion of their lunch may choose to stay in and complete or get extra help with their homework

  • Times TBA

 

• With so many opportunities for students to demonstrate participation and content mastery, there are very few opportunities for extra credit.

 

Good to Know

• Every Friday Planners are collected and stamped

  • (If we are not in school on Friday they will have that week skipped)

• If they are missing any in-class or homework it is written down (please check)

• Students also have access to what has been collected on the clipboard in the room

  • This is a good way to make sure they have turned everything in

• Every Monday work is sent home with a printout of their scores, that printout should be signed and returned by Friday.​
