Grading Policy

It is my policy to provide parents with email/notes on Skyward, at the end of every week, to let you know what we did in class when assignments are due, and to push out weekly Progress Reports, so that you will have the opportunity to know how your students is doing in my class every week.  I try to keep my classroom as transparent as possible to help you all!

I assign a zero to all missing grades.  I do this to help my students notice and get their missing work turned in quickly, and/or to provide parents an update so that you can ask your student about missing work.  Once the work has been turned in, by the proper time, I will replace the zero with their grade.

School policy states that all 6th graders have five days, to get their work in or it will be a zero. After the due date I give, grades will stay and they will not be able to turn in work after the due date given, and not after Progress Report or Report Card.  All students have DAILY REMINDERS from me and weekly reminders in the Parent notes I send out. 

TESTS. Only students making a 69 or BELOW  will be allowed to make test corrections and reflections.  IF A STUDENT  MAKES THE TEST CORRECTIONS AND REFLECTIONS CORRECTLY, THE HIGHEST GRADE THEY CAN MAKE IS A 70.

There are certain DAILY GRADES that are "do as many times as you want to get the grade that you choose" assignments; These include Boom Card assignments, Quizizz assignments, and Study Island assignments. The students have total control of their grades with these assignments.

Cheating is NEVER tolerated in my class.  If this offense happens, the student will receive a zero for the assignment with NO opportunity to make this up.  The zero will stand.  Parental contact will always follow this, and if it happens a second time, an office referral will be given.
