F: 50–59.99% Emergent
*All quarter/semester grades will receive a minimum of 50%
Individual Assignments/Assessments:
Individual Assignments/Assessments scores in the gradebook will reflect the students actual progress towards the mastery of the standards.
For example, an assignment score less than 50% may be in the Grade Book; however, at the quarter if the grade to be posted is less than 50%, it must be overwritten to a 50% on the grading scale prior to posting final quarter/semester grades.
Semester Exams:
Semester exams are only required for high school credit-bearing courses.
Semester exam scores below a 50% will be adjusted to the minimum score on the District grading scale (e.g., if a student earns a 32% on the semester exam, the score is adjusted to 50%).
School Wide Grading Categories:
Summative Assessments will account for 80% of overall quarter grade
Tests, quizzes, major assignments and/or projects.
Formative Assessments will account for 20% of overall quarter grade
Meaningful practice of skills required to master.
Covers objectives of each unit.
Tied to continued learning beyond the classroom.
Semester grades will be calculated as follows:
Quarter 1/3 – 40%
Quarter 2/4 – 40%
Semester Exam - 20%
Missing Work:
Missing work procedures will be consistent school-wide.
In alignment with CCSD Guidelines Used in Conjunction with Regulation 5113, Attendance Enforcement.
Students are expected to adhere to deadlines for assignments/assessments.
If a student does not submit the missing formative or summative work and/or assessment by the common established school deadline of five school days from the posted due date, and the teacher is unsuccessful in eliciting evidence of the student’s learning, there is no further action from the educator, keeping the “M” in the Grade Book.
Teachers will have the discretion to determine timelines where missing work will be accepted beyond the five school days from the posted due date when barriers/life events occur for students without a reduction in their score.
The mark “M” is a score of 0 percent in the Grade Book, communicating the lowest possible grade.
The “L” late flag is added to the assignment to monitor student behavior separate from the academic grade once the missing assignment is turned in and the earned score is entered.
Teachers will proactively notify students and, when appropriate, parents/guardians of missing assignments through Infinite Campus, Canvas, email, or other established school communication methods, providing notice and an opportunity to submit the work before the five-school-day deadline expires.
Homework:
Homework will be used for practice or an extension of learning.
Homework expectations will be in accordance with Policy 6143 and Regulation 6143.
Completion status of homework will carry no weight in the Grade Book; progress will be reported as a learner behavior/habit of work not as an academic grade.
Citizenship:
Academic behaviors will be evaluated using the citizenship grading rubric.
Plagiarism/cheating will be considered “missing.”
Students will receive an “M” with a score of 0% until the original work has been submitted. A student's academic score may increase when original work is submitted for grading.
The student will receive a “U” on the citizenship grading rubric for the quarter.
Reassessments:
Students can request and participate in ONE reassessment opportunity per each summative assessment regardless of original grade.
After receiving assessment results, students have up to five school days to communicate and schedule their reassessment with their classroom teacher.
Students must not be excluded from reassessment due to limited transportation nor commitments outside of school. Students must be given time during the school day if they cannot attend before or after school.
Students must complete a reassessment reflection to develop a plan for new learning.
Teachers will have the discretion to determine timelines where reassessment will be completed beyond this timeline.
Summative reassessments will not be given during the last week of the quarter. Teachers will have the latitude to allow reassessments during this time period, if they choose.
An alternate or abbreviated assessment at the same rigor can be administered to elicit evidence of new learning.
A student’s grade should accurately reflect new learning. The higher proficiency level of the student must be reflected in the gradebook.
Reassessment opportunities will not be offered for final exams/semester exams.
Communication to Students and Families:
Communication of grades via the Infinite Campus Grade Book will be done in accordance with Regulation 5122.
Scores and grades entered in the Grade Book will be current, allowing students time to reflect on and improve their grade prior to the end of the marking period.
In addition to maintaining an up-to-date Grade Book, teachers will communicate with students and families using appropriate methods such as Infinite Campus messaging, email, phone calls, or conferences when there are significant concerns regarding academic progress, missing assignments, or a substantial decline in a student's grade. These communications are intended to promote timely intervention and support student success.
