For students that have forgotten their South Colonie Password: You will need to ask Ms. Detrick to reset it. It will be reset to the secondary password that is used for accounts such as I-Ready. If your student number begins with a zero, enter it without the first zero. Example: 0978478 is entered as 978478.

Ms. Detrick's grade book codes:
Ab- Indicates the student was absent the day that the assignment was due. It will need to be made up, otherwise, the grade will turn into a zero.
WA-Indicates that the student was absent the day the assignment was given or will need more time to complete the assignment due to an absence. It will need to be made up, otherwise, the grade will turn into a zero.
IP- Indicates that the assignment is "in progress." The student has been granted extended time to complete the assignment that has already been started. This code may also be used for presentations that have been prepared, but not presented yet.
EX-Indicates that the student is exempt from an assignment and therefore does not need to complete it.
SIP- "Scoring in Progress"-Indicates the teacher is has collected the assignment and needs extended time to correct the assignment (example: Essays, extended response tests that take three or more hours for the teacher to score.)
Q: How are grades calculated for Ms. Detrick? (What is the grading scheme?)
A: Ms. Detrick has five different grading categories:
1. Practice Sheet Completion: As long as a student completes a "practice sheet" to the BEST of his/her ability, it will be entered as a 100% in the grade book regardless if the actual answers justify a 100%. The purpose is to practice a new concept and learn from any mistakes. Ms. Detrick often modifies future instruction based on the results of "Practice Sheets." If a student only completes half of a practice sheet, he/she may earn a 50% on the assignment. This is 10% of the overall quarterly grade. (Code: PS)
2. Homework: Most often, homework sheets cover a topic that is not considered "new content." It is given a number grade based on the percent correct. This is 10% of the overall quarterly grade. (Code HW)
3. Quiz: This is 30% of the overall quarterly grade. (Code Q)
4. Test: This is 50% of the overall quarterly grade. (Code T) Any zeroes issued in this category have a GREAT impact on the overall average.
5. Ungraded: (Code "UG") This does NOT count towards the quarterly average. A "100" indicates completion of the task. A "0" means the task has not been completed. Example: Turn in a paper to be signed by a parent. A zero in that category has no impact on the overall average. It is really there just for parents/guardians to verify that a non academic task has been assigned and the student followed through on the task.
