Grading Practices

Grading Scales/Practices

• No grading floor

• 8 minor grades

• 3 minor grades

• Assignments calculated on a 100 point scale

Assignment Submission

Students are expected to submit all minor and major assignments assigned. Major assessments and assignments are considered required assignments for the course. 

Missing Work Due to Not Handed In

• Assigned work that is not handed in by the due date will be recorded in the gradebook as a code of NHI. The code of NHI equates to a score of zero in the gradebook. 

Missing Work Due to Student Absences

• Work missed because of an excused absence will be recorded as MDA.

• Students have five (5) school days after returning from an excused absence to submit missed work unless alternative arrangements are made because of an extended absence or other extenuating circumstances. If alternative arrangements have not been made with the teacher, a grade of zero will be recorded as the grade for the missing work.
