Grade 8 Math
Meet Mrs. Sowell: I have lived in Lancaster over 30 years. I graduated from Clemson University and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and I've taught Teacher Cadet, Grade 8 Math, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Statistics, and AP Statistics. I love to travel, and my involvement in missions work has taken me to several countries and interesting places throughout the United States. I have enjoyed being a professional speaker for several years and I have authored seventeen books. I’ve been married for over 29 years and have three children. I absolutely LOVE teaching math!

SC Uniform Grading Policy: WF/WP after 10 days
Withdrawing from a Course
With the first day of enrollment in the course as the baseline, students who withdraw from a course within three days in a 45-day course, five days in a 90-day course, or ten days in a 180-day course will do so without penalty. The three-, five-, and ten-day limitations for withdrawing from a course without penalty do not apply to course or course level changes approved by the administration of a school. Students who withdraw from a course with administrative approval will be given a WP for the course. Students who withdraw from a course after the specified time of three days for a 45-day course, five days in a 90-day course, or ten days in a 180-day course without administrative approval, shall be assigned a WF/50. The WF/50 will be calculated in the students overall grade point average.
Retaking a Course
Any student may retake a course at the same level of difficulty if the student has earned a D, P, NP, WP, FA, WF, or an F in that course. If the same level course is not accessible, the course may be retaken at a different level of rigor. Districts may extend the policy to allow students making any grade to retake any course per local board decision. A student who has taken a course for a unit of high school credit prior to the ninth grade year may retake the course at the same difficulty level regardless of the grade he or she has earned. Retaking the course means that the student completes the entire course again (not a subset of the course such as through credit or content recovery). If the course being retaken has an EOCEP, the EOCEP must be retaken. All course attempts from middle and high school will show on the transcript. Only one course attempt and the highest grade earned for the course will be calculated in the GPA. A student who retakes a high school credit course from middle school must complete it before the beginning of the second year of high school or before the next sequential course (whichever comes first). A student in grades nine through twelve must retake a course by the end of the next school year or before the next sequential course (whichever comes first). For all grade levels, all courses will remain on the transcript. However, only the highest grade will be used in figuring the student’s GPA.
