Grading: The school year is divided into 4 marking periods. Students will receive mid-marking period progress reports, which will serve as warning notices for students showing a need for improvement. Students and their parents/guardians can view their student's grades and overall progress via the Genesis Parent Portal at any time, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have difficulty accessing grades via Genesis, please contact the student's guidance counselor for assistance.
In an effort to better address the needs of all students, various forms of formative and summative assessments and evaluations will be used. As always, traditional criteria such as class work, homework, tests, quizzes and projects will be considered when assessing students. In addition, alternative methods such as holistic scoring and portfolio assessment will also be used to evaluate student progress.
Grade Calculations:
50% - Summative Work: Major Tests and/or Projects. Grade reduced by 5% per school day late.
35% - Formative Work: Quizzes and Projects. Accepted up to 3 days late for a maximum grade of 80%.
15% Homework & Classwork: Homework, Classwork, and/or Exit Tickets. Zeroes in this category cannot be made up unless the student attends an after-school extra-help session within 2 school days following the original due date.
Plagiarism Policy: All work must be original. Unattributed source material or unauthorized generative AI use on assessments and/or assignments will result in a permanent zero and parent/guardian contact.
