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. Email Ms. Holmes to schedule make-up.
Assessment retakes/corrections may be completed for up to 70% credit within one week of receiving scores. Retakes are only open to students that score below 70%. It is the student’ s responsibility to email Ms. Holmes to set up an appointment. The last test of each semester is NOT eligible for retakes.
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 5-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%
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.
-Late work will be graded more rigorously and graded after all other assignments.
-The student must email Ms. Holmes when an assignment is submitted late in order for it to graded.
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).
Assignments will not be provided early, unless an independent study contract is in place. Please see the attendance clerk to set up an Independent Study.
Note: assignments will be randomly collected and graded for ACCURACY, but all assignments are equally important.
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.
