Mr. Berntson's Grading Policy

Grades in Mr. Berntson's Science courses are determined by an earned percentage of a total number of points offered during the quarter or semester. Points are awarded for daily work, labs, quizzes, and tests.

The following grading scale will be used:

90-93% = A-

Late Work:

Assignments and labs must be handed in complete and on time for full credit. Work handed in up to one week late will receive a maximum of one-half credit. Any assigned work over one week old will receive only one point.

Absences:

Late work due to an excused absence will be given an extra day depending on when you were gone, how long you were gone, etc. Tests must be made up within an appropriate time frame.

Late work due to an unexcused absence will fall under the guidelines of "Late Work." A quiz or a test missed due to an unexcused absence may not be made up.

School related absences are not regarded as "absences." Therefore, make sure you hand in assignments, projects, etc. on time and also find out what the new assignments are!
