Math
Welcome the 5th Grade Math! Homework completion and graded assignments will be documented in Genesis, our online grading portal. The following system will be used:
Completed homework will be listed in Genesis, but no score will be associated with the assignment. Graded work will evaluated using the 3-2-1 scale associated with our standards based report cards. However, if an assignment is missing or incomplete, that will be noted in the comment section.
If turning in a late Math enVision assignment, the student must email Mr. Miller to let him know to check the past-due assignment.
