Grading System & Rules/Expectations
Grading Rubric for all classes:
10% Participation/Bell Work
30% Daily Work/Practice GMetrix
60% Tests/Projects/Test GMetrix
GMetrix practice work/tests along with certification exams will be counted in each grading period.
IMPORTANT:
I have high expectations in my classroom for all students. Work must be attempted/completed to the best of the student's ability. A grade below 50 will not be acceptable. Students will be assigned time during the day to complete missing or incomplete work. NO EXCUSES is the motto! You CAN do this!!!
**Attendance is key to being successful in any class but since all work must be completed in class, it is crucial to be here as much as possible so you do not get behind. Make-up work will follow school policy.
***If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to ask what was missed (it will also be on the screen) and to come in during activity period to get caught up.
