Grades reflect the mastery of content standards. The purpose of report card grades are for teachers to communicate student progress with parents and students.
Students are expected to turn in every assignment; zeroes will not be permitted. Students will get a grace period indicated by a blank in GradeSpeed until the next Turn-it-in Advisory (Thursday or Friday). Advisory will be used, in part, to make sure any missing work is submitted. When a student does not turn in an assignment by the Turn-it-in Advisory, GradeSpeed will show "MSG" which counts as a zero. Students should expect to attend a study club either after school or at lunch, and each day afterwards, to complete the work.
Students will be allowed to retake a quiz or test and redo an assignment for full credit with the approval of the teacher. All attempts of the assignment will be documented in GradeSpeed, however, the student will earn the highest grade.
Students who plagiarized or cheated on assignments will receive an "MSG" until the student has produced authentic work following above procedures. These students will be referred to administration.
Students who have questions or concerns about their grade should speak with the teacher who assigned the grade.
