Grading Policy - Access to student grades are available for parent and student through Skyward. To get username and password contact the front office.
Major Assignments (Tests): 60%
There will be a minimum of three (3) tests each grading period. Honors students will not be allowed to retest unless 50% or more of the students in a class fail.
Minor Assignments (Homework, Quizzes and EOC Review): 40%
- There will be a minimum of nine (9) assignments each grading period. Honors students will not be allowed to submit late minor work.
- Assignments must be done in pencil and turned in at the beginning of class. Quizzes may include teacher-made quizzes, pop quizzes, selected homework problems, worksheets, and other miscellaneous assignments. Re-quizzing is not allowed.
Note: Most math assignments require showing all work. This is necessary because the process or strategy is the critical learning task, not just getting the answer.
Absences - Students who are absent for math class will be responsible for picking up their late work when they return to school.
- Students with an EXCUSED ABSENCE from school will have the opportunity to make up missed work at the rate of one day for one day missed, with a maximum of five days. Students will receive a zero for any major or minor assignment not made up within the allotted time.
- Students with an UNEXCUSED ABSENCE may not make up missed work; however, if the unexcused absence is determined to be caused by an extenuating circumstance, makeup work may be allowed. The grade for the makeup work will be no higher than a 70.
Class Procedures
