Grading Policy
Grading Policy
This course's grading is aligned with SRVUSD’s board grading policy.
A teacher shall base a student's grades on impartial, consistent observation of the quality of the student's work and his/her mastery of course content and district standards. Students shall have the opportunity to demonstrate this mastery through a variety of methods such as classroom participation, homework, tests, and portfolios (BP 5121)
In order to provide consistent and equitable grading practices, French teachers at Monte Vista have identified "identical grading scales and grading weights (BP 5121), class participation and grade rounding practices.
In addition, students will be provided with multiple ways to demonstrate mastery of content. Grades will not be based on extra credit, behavior, or citizenship.
Standards-Based Grading
Most assessments (informal and projects) will follow standards-based grading.
Performance-based assessments include formal writing assessments in every issue and speeches that students present after every two issues.
Class Participation assessments include classwork completion and active class participation.
Curriculum-embedded assessments for each issue are graded online but will also be completed in printed format.
Academic Code
Monte Vista High School regards the academic conduct of our students to be a critical part of their education. Academic INTEGRITY requires students to properly demonstrate their talents through the utilization of suitable formats, proper citation methods, and HONESTY for themselves, their fellow students, and their instructors. We believe it is critical to master this behavior during high school in order to successfully navigate the educational systems and/or work environments our students will encounter once they leave Monte Vista High School.
*Plagiarism is defined as presenting materials or work prepared by another person/persons as the student’s own work without crediting the source. This includes, but is not limited to failing to expressly acknowledge the research, writing, or work by someone other than the student, claiming authorship as his/her own; presenting as his/her own, or as a new and original idea or product derived from an existing source.”
