Grading and Testing Policies

Grading Policy

Students are required to complete assigned work daily, graded work will vary from subject to subject.  Completing assigned work is essential for the students to demonstrate mastery of a concept and show the teacher where there may be learning gaps. We encourage students to meet dead lines and be accountable for their work and ask parents to provide this same encouragement at home. Work not completed in a timely manner diminishes its purpose. 

Student late work will only be collected up till the week before Interims/Report Cards. This provides teachers the time to grade and post grades. Late work will be penalized 10 pts. per day, after 5 days the highest a student can earn is a 50%.  

State Assessments

Your child will be taking NC Check-Ins three times in the year, Beginning of Year, Mid, and End of Year. These assessments are used to guide teachers in how to support your Childs individual learning needs. 

  The North Carolina End-of-Grade (EOG) and/or End-of-Course (EOC) tests.  All students will take the EOG Reading and Mathematics tests and Grade 8 students will also participate in the EOG Science Test. Middle school students taking the Math I High school course for credit will also take the End-of-Course (EOC) test.  Dare County Schools policy 3410 requires that EOG/EOC assessments count for 20 percent of a student’s final grade.
