Grading (see pages 24-25 in Parent/Student Handbook)

- All grades will be posted online on Skyward and can be accessed by all students and parents by looking for the link below on any of the above websites or the district and school website.

Link: (there is also a skyward app for your phone)

- There are two categories for grades:

Daily* (homework and in class assignments) 40%

Tests* 60%

100%

*Some grades may be dropped at the end of each term based on teacher discretion.

- Students will lose points on all late assignments. (10 points per day)

- Students can correct ALL assignments to a 100. (points lost for being late are forever lost)

To Do Corrections: students must create problems similar to the ones they missed and show how to work them out correctly.

- If a student fails a test, students will be able to take a retest and earn up to a 70%.

To retake a test:

- Students must attend tutorials at least one time to prepare for the retest.

- Students must bring the completed review for that test.

- Students must not have any 0’s for the Unit.

Students MUST ask to make up assignments and tests within ONE WEEK of the grade being returned/posted on skyward. (pages 19- 21 in Parent/Student Handbook)

Attendance (see pages 29-34 in Parent/Student Handbook)

- Students returning from an absence must submit the absence excuse note to the office within 3 school days (see page 33 for the required information in each note)

- To receive credit in a class, students must attend at least 90 percent of the days the class is offered. (page 31).

- Students have one class day per excused absence day to complete make-up assignments.

It is the responsibility of the student to request any make-up work that is missed while absent. (page 19-20)
