Grading

The Hoover math department will be using a combination of Standards-based grading and traditional grading. Students will be assessed on their effort and accuracy on practice activities and their ability to master specific mathematical standards, using a rubric that incorporates the percentage grades used at the middle school level (as opposed to 0-4 in elementary). Grades will be found in ParentVUE/StudentVUE. 

The rubric and criteria by which I will be determining grades can be found below. If you see a 50% in Parentvue, this indicates that the student did not complete the assignment, or they turned it in empty.

LATE WORK is highly discouraged as it loses its educational value when a student can’t review their answers with the class, but will be accepted if it is completed up to 1 week after it is due (Exception: homework assigned near the end of the quarter. Those assignments must be turned in on time as there is no additional time to turn in late). 

Maximum possible scores for late work:

• Quarter 1: 79%

• Quarter 2, 3 & 4: 69% 

Exceptions will be given for family emergencies, loss of internet, etc… if the teacher is notified of the situation by a parent/guardian.
