Assessment and Grades

Classwork

A majority of the assignments will be done in class. All due dates will be posted on Google Classroom and Infinite Campus.

Homework

Although homework is rarely assigned, all work that is not completed in class must be done at home.

Students will be given some time to work on weekly Membean and Newsela Assignments, but are also expected to work on these at home.

Assessments

Traditional style tests are not regularly given. Some formal assessments are required at the 7th grade level, or by the district.

Quizzes will be assigned, mostly for practice and review, and must be done in class.

Extra Credit

Extra Credit will rarely be offered. When it is, it is not meant to make up for missing assignments.

Extra Credit will not be assigned on an individual basis.

7th Grade Core Late Work Policy

  1. All assignments are due by the dates posted on Google Classroom and Infinite Campus.

  2. Late work may be accepted for partial credit up until the end of the unit, or the end of the Progress Report or Grading Period.

  3. Late work for group projects will not be accepted, as due dates are provided multiple weeks in advance.

  4. Any late work must be submitted through the Grade Check Form found on Google Classroom.

Google Classroom: Daily LMS

Google Classroom will be used as a day to day Learning Management System. All daily agendas and assignments, including due dates will be posted here.

Infinite Campus: Official Gradebook

Infinite Campus will be used as the district required grade book. All assignment, progress, and final grades will be posted here.

Canvas

Teachers are not required to use Canvas. All daily agendas will be posted on Canvas so that you can easily see what we will be doing in class each day. However, as mentioned above, all assignments will be posted on Google Classroom, and grades will be posted in Infinite Campus. The Canvas grade book will not be used.

Students and families can still use Canvas to contact me.
