Grading scale:
· Classwork 25%
· Quizzes 35%
· Tests 40%
Expectations:
· All assignments should be completed fully and turned in on time. I understand life happens and there may be a time your student is out due to illness or family matters, in this case, I will give your student an extension by however many days they were absent. All work will be posted on google classroom and will be your students responsibility to check google classroom. If an assignment is not turned in, it is my expectation that your child will attend Rewind, which takes place during 7th grade recess (once a week), to complete their work. If the work is not completed during Rewind, it will be sent home to complete. Each day the assignment is late will result in a deduction of 5 points.
Test Corrections!
. Mistakes make learning happen- I believe that correcting mistakes and identifying the error are valuable learning tools. Corrections on any test grade lower than a 70 is mandatory, however, students may correct any assignment lower than 100 for half credit*. *Corrections are scored at half credit meaning if each question was worth 10 points originally, the corrected question would be worth 5 points).
Test Correction Procedures *********You must do the following on a separate piece of line paper…
Write the question AND question number for each question that you missed. Show your work AND circle your correct answer. You must write at least 2 sentences explaining why you got the question wrong.
Infinite Campus
· I do my best to grade all work and enter the grades into Infinite Campus weekly. All students and parents have access to Infinite Campus and should keep up with their grades throughout each 9 weeks. If you are unsure how to access Infinite Campus, please contact our data manager, Mrs. Izzo at Jennifer.Izzo@nhcs.net. Make up work will not be accepted the week grades are due.
Homework:
· Each week, students will have IXL review lessons to complete. These are assigned each Monday and are due Friday by 4:00pm. They are permitted to work on these assignments in class once finished with the day's assignments as well as during the weekly Rewind.
