Zeros for Assignments
Allow zeros in the gradebook for assignments for all 4 nine weeks. Teachers will use the placeholder "2" for missing assignments.
Lowest Grade Entered for Quarter Grades
For quarterly grades, the lowest grade entered will be a 50 for Q1 with true grades for the following quarters.
Retakes
Students will not be allowed to take retakes in Advanced Placement Courses or high school honors, unless approved by the teacher. Students can retake 2 major assessments (tests only) per nine weeks, per course in high school CP and middle school regular and honors courses. At the discretion of the teacher, students can retake additional assessments.
Teachers will take the highest grade after the retake.
Students must complete the corrective action within 5 class periods to be able to retake the assessment.
Missing or Late Work
Missing or late work penalties must be consistent across grade level or department. Teachers will use the placeholder "2" for missing assignments. Consideration should be given for behavior incidents instead of dropping grades for missing or late work.
