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

• Large assignments or projects will be accepted up to one week late for a lesser grade. After that, these assignments will receive a zero.

• HMWK/CLWK will be accepted if turned in within the same Unit of Study (i.e. a Unit 1 Spelling packet would not be accepted if we are already on Unit 2)

 

Homework

Typically due the next day

 

• If there is a math lesson that day they will have a math assignment 

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

• 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, if a student is falling behind

 

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)
