Grading

• Grades are recorded as a zero (0) in Skyward until the assignment is submitted.

• Each assignment has a listed due date.  Assignments are expected to be submitted by the due date.

  • A student has seven (7) calendar days past the due date to submit a written assignment with no penalty.

  • Special consideration to submit a written assignment after seven (7) days will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

    1. To request special consideration, the student must open the assignment in Google Classroom and post a private comment explaining the reason for special consideration.

    2. The teacher will review the request and determine if special consideration is warranted.

    3. The teacher’s decision is final.

• Students who have not completed an assignment are sent a reminder email with directions for submitting the assignment.
