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 for Biology, Geometry, Algebra I:
Tests, Essays, Projects = 50%
Quizzes = 25%
Classwork & Participation = 25%
Missing and/or incomplete assignments (i.e. classwork, quizzes, tests, and/or projects) will receive a zero. Students have 1 day to make up their work. I do not accept late classwork. Classwork is due THAT day! (otherwise, what are you doing during class?)
