QUARTERLY GRADES
 
Quarterly grades are based on test and quiz grades, and occasional graded 
classwork, homework or at-home projects. The total number of correct items 
will be divided by the total number of graded items to determine the score.
 
Example:  
Total number of CORRECT  = 48
Total number of GRADED items  = 60
          48 divided by 60 = 80

Information regarding Quarterly tests will be given at the end of the first 
quarter.

 
TESTS

A test schedule can be found on The Homework Site. Tests in third grade are 

given in Religion, English, Math, Reading, Spelling, Social Studies, and 

Science by the respective teachers. Graded papers are sent home as quickly as 

possible and need not be returned unless specified by the teacher. In the 

case of absence, tests are made up the day the student returns to school. 

Extenuating circumstances for make-up tests may be explained via written note 

or email from the parent in order that other arrangements may be made.

Extra credit is not an option for a disappointing average. However, if a 

quarterly average is borderline, the student’s attitude, participation, and 

homework can affect the grade either positively or adversely.

Final Grades will be calculated as follows:
 
Tests/Projects 35%
Quizzes /Homework 30%
Exam 25%
Participation 10%
