Grading Policy

Graded assignments and classwork will be sent home every couple weeks or so in a Test Packet. Parents are expected to review the assignments with their child, sign the cover sheet, and return to the classroom within a day or two. Parents can keep all graded work. It is recommended to save all the work at home during the trimester, in case a question about grades arises. Assignments that do not have a number grade (such as 9/10) were for practice only, and are credit/no credit. Homework is also credit/no credit and is used for practice to prepare for in class assessments.

I do not always write letter grades on assignments. To find the letter grade equivalent, divide the top number by the bottom number and multiply by 100 (i.e. 9/10 = 0.9    0.9×100 = 90%  A- is the letter grade equivalent.) Please note that the + and – are there only as a guideline and do not count towards honor roll.

Honor Roll:

Gold Honor Roll: 4.0 GPA – All A’s (no consideration given to + or -)

Silver Honor Roll: 3.5 GPA – At least 3 A’s and 3 B’s (no consideration given to + or -)
