Grades will be weighted based on the following categories:

Test/quizzes……………………………………60%

Classwork/Projects……………………….40%

Make-up Tests must be completed within one week of the original test date.

Tests retakes/corrections may be completed for up to 70% credit within one week of receiving test scores. It is your responsibility to set up an appointment for test retakes/make-ups. Email Ms. Holmes to set up an appointment.

I have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for cheating. If you are caught cheating, you will receive a ZERO for the assignment and a referral.

Grades are assigned using a 5 point scale 

The 4-Point scale is as follows:

5.0-----------100%

4.5-----------95%

4.0-----------90%

3.5-----------85%

3.0-----------80%

2.5-----------75%

2.0-----------70%

1.0-----------60%

0/Inc--------50%

Note: assignments will be randomly collected and graded for ACCURACY, but all assignments are equally important.  

Grades will be broken down as follows:

A 90.0%-100.0%

B 80.0%-89.9%

C 70.0%-79.9%

D 60.0%-69.9% 

F 59.9% and below

Follow due dates and turn in assignments with your name on the assignment. 

LATE WORK will be accepted up until the last day of the unit (usually test day) without penalty. Additionally, late work will be graded more rigorously and graded after all assignments that were turned in on-time. 

It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check Google Classroom or the absent binder for missed work. You will have the same number of days absent to make-up the work, if you have an excused absence. (i.e. if you are absent for 2 days, you will have 2 school days to complete the assignment upon returning).

Arrive to class prepared and on time. 

*Students will be marked as tardy if they are not in their seat with their materials ready when the bell rings.
