Grading Policy

GRADING POLICY: 

• All district gradebooks will utilize a weighted scale.  Summative assessments will comprise 60% of a student’s quarterly grade, and formative assessments will comprise 40%.

  • Summative assessments = a measure of student learning at the end of an instructional unit (i.e. - Tests, Quizzes, etc.)

  • Formative assessments = an ongoing measure of student learning used by the teacher to guide instruction (i.e. - Classwork, Homework, etc.) 

RETESTING:

• On summative assessments, students wishing to demonstrate higher levels of content mastery are allowed/encouraged to retest

  • Students must “earn” the right to retest (e.g. - Make test corrections, complete an alternate assignment, etc.)

  • Students may only retest one (1) time per assessment

  • Students will earn the higher of the assessment results (original or retest - not an average of the two)

  • Students have a maximum of two weeks to complete the retest

LATE WORK:

• Students are able to submit late work until the end of the unit of study, depending on the circumstance students may receive partial or full credit.
