60% of a student's overall grade is based on assessments of learning (quizzes, tests, projects) which are weighted equally. There will be a minimum of two grades each grading period in this category.
40% of a student's overall grade is based on daily assignments, the majority of which will be found in the math workbooks (assigned each unit) as well as two online resources: IXL & Formative. Students will be allowed to turn in late assignments up to 5 days after the due date (when it was posted to HAC). After that time, it will remain a zero (M) in the grade book.
Retakes: If a student scores below a 90 on a quiz or test, they can raise that grade by retaking the assessment. They have one opportunity to retake the assessment and it must be completed with 5 days of the quiz or test. The maximum retake grade allowable is 90 (even if they score higher on the retake). If they score lower on the retake, the original (higher) score is kept.
When a student is absent from class due to illness, upon his/her return, the student will be allowed one day for each day of absence to make up the assigned work and/or take a quiz/test (Example: 2 days absent - 2 days to make up work; 4 days absent - 4 days to make up work, etc.).
Previously scheduled assignments that were due on the day of the absence will be due on the day the student returns to school.
Previously scheduled quizzes/tests will be administered on the day the student returns to school.
