Grading Policies

 

 

Grading Scale:

The grading scale is as follows:

Tests / Projects                                                                         40%

Quizzes                                                                                    35%

Classwork / Homework                                                            25%

 

 

Please note that because grades are weighted, students cannot figure their own averages by adding up all the grades and dividing by the number of grades. Students will receive a progress report approximately mid-nine weeks. I ask that these be signed by parents and returned the following day. In addition, parents may call or e-mail me for grade updates.

 

*All graded work will be returned ASAP.  Students will keep graded work in their notebook with a running grade sheet that lists all of the grades.

 

Homework / Classwork

Students will have homework most nights with the exceptions of some Fridays. Questions about individual homework items will be addressed after the homework is checked.  Methods for checking homework are:

·        Walking around the room and scanning each student’s paper

• Collecting a class set of papers
• Unannounced homework checks
