GRADES

  • Grades are based on academic achievement. Points possible will vary from assignment to assignment.

Weighted grade

      • Writing 30%

      • Assessments 30%

      • Daily Practice 30%

      • Independent Reading 10%

Grading scale percentages are as follows:

90-100% = A 80-89% = B 70-79% = C 60-69% = D 59-0% = F

STUDENT PLANNERS

  • Student planners are designed to assist Frank Augustus Miller students in being organized and ready to learn in each and every class.

  • Students are expected to record homework for each class every day.

  • Parents are requested to monitor their student's progress/completion of the homework by checking the Student Planner each night.

LATE WORK POLICY

  • Students are encouraged to turn in all work on time.

  • In language arts, we allow work to be submitted up to 1- week late, or no credit will be given. Students lose points when they submit work late.

  • If an assignment is RED in the grade book, it is the same as a zero. It is considered missing and will not be accepted after a week.

  • Do not only look for red marks in the grade book. Any zeroes shown mean work is not being submitted and it CANNOT be submitted. Check grades often. Low scores also hurt the grade and need to be addressed.
