Major Assessment/Calculation of Grades:
The standardized grade scale used throughout the district will apply.
Grading Scale:
A = 90 – 100
B = 80 – 89
C = 70 – 79
D = 60 – 69
U = 60 or below
Grading Procedures:
Classwork, daily grades—60%
Tests, projects (major assessments) – 40%
Student Records: Grades are recorded in Power School throughout the school year. Folders with graded papers will be sent home on Thursdays .
Missed Work and Make-up Policy:
Students are given five days from the date of their absence to make up any missed work. If a student is absent on the day that a project or lab report is due, the project or report is due the day they return to school. All homework, class work, tests and quizzes must be made up within 5 school days of the date of return to school. Students are GREATLY encouraged to check Google Classroom when they are out to see what is missed and attempt missed work prior to return to school. This eases the transition and stress for the student especially if the absence is more than one day.
Restroom: Students may use the restroom one at a time when the teacher is not addressing the entire class.
Lunch: Students are expected to be quiet in line and may talk softly when they sit at the table. All fifth grade students sit together at our assigned cafeteria tables.
Dismissal: Students are called to stack chairs by tables or groups. They are dismissed when called.
