ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT - GRADING/PROGRESS REPORTS TO PARENTS
The Superintendent or designee shall ensure that each campus or instructional level develops guidelines for teachers to follow in determining grades for students. These guidelines shall ensure that grading reflects a student’s relative mastery of an assignment and that a sufficient number of grades are taken to support the grade average assigned. Guidelines for grading shall be clearly communicated to students and parents.
The District shall permit a student who meets the criteria detailed in the grading guidelines a reasonable opportunity to redo an assignment or retake a test for which the student received a failing grade.
Purpose of Grades and Reporting
The focus of a grading system is to measure student mastery on their content or course standards. The purpose of grades is to provide students with feedback about their progress and achievement, guide students about future course work, provide guidance to teachers for instructional planning and communicate progress to parents.
The purpose of the report card is to report student achievement based on content or course standards, with work habits reported separately through comments/ codes.
District Guidelines regarding Students Absences can be found in the Student Handbook.
General Guidelines for Making Up Missed Work Due to Absences
(See course Syllabus for specific Grading Policy info)
Students who are absent for any reason must check with each teacher the day the student returns from any absence to determine the:
Make-up assignments,
Specific dates for completing the work, and
Dates to complete any missed tests.
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/exam.
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/exams will be administered on the day the student returns to school.
The student is allowed one (1) day for each day of an absence to make up assignments and quizzes/exams scheduled during their absence.
One (1) day of make-up time is allowed for each day of absence (Example: 2 days absent - 2 days to make up work; 4 days absent - 4 days to make up work, etc.).
Note: based on the A/B schedule at the high school level, the term “one day” is equivalent to one class period.
