FAQs
What is the grading policy?
Grades are a reflection of hard work and are earned. Please talk to your student first about any low grade and look at the paper together.
Late homework, unfinished homework or poor homework will be treated the same. The grade the student earned will be entered. If below a 75% they will have one day to redo any low grade and earn up to a 75%. (This applies only to homework) (Students cannot redo memory, math minutes, quizzes or tests)
Spanish, Music & PE are now included in GPA
