Math Department Grading Policy:

1. Tests

2. Homework/Classwork

The grading scale is based on the percentage of points earned out of the total points possible. Different activities are assigned different point values, but are not weighted. The final grade is approximately 75% based on test scores and 25% on homework and classwork assignments.
Students will be given tests every two to three weeks.  Learning Targets will be shared a week before the test. The day before the "test day", they will get a practice test or review for the test in class. Students are expected to learn the material before taking the test and should try their best on the day of the test. CMS does not offer any retakes of math tests for accelerated courses.

Students will receive ongoing feedback through warm-up quizzes and practice tests, and they should share how they are progressing with you regularly. Quizzes and practice tests will not be graded.

Tests are not sent home. However, parents are welcome to set up a meeting with the teacher to go over the test of their student. Warm-up quizzes, review material, practice tests, and all supplementary material and worksheets are sent home regularly. The tests look very similar to all of the above-mentioned study materials put together. I will be going over each test problem on the day students get to see their graded tests. It is a good opportunity for students to learn/relearn from the mistakes they made on the test. All students are expected to do test corrections (not for a grade) as part of their classwork assignment that day.
Late homework assignments will be accepted at the teacher's discretion and only for valid reasons. It is the student's responsibility to submit assignments on time. If a student chooses to turn in their work late, they will lose one point for each day it is overdue. If a student requires an extension or has special circumstances, the student or parents should contact me as soon as possible. Parents can access Google Classroom to monitor their students' daily classwork and homework assignments through their students' accounts.
