Grading Policy


MATH:  Grades will be based on lesson quizzes, summative assessments, and Daily Math Review quizzes.


READING and LITERATURE:  As part of our 90 Minute Reading block, grades will be based on written responses, comprehension quizzes/tests, vocabulary assignments, and other reading related projects. 


LANGUAGE ARTS:  Grades will be based on Daily Language Review quizzes, grammar sheets, 1-2 written pieces per grading period, entries in the Writer’s Notebook, and biweekly participation points during the writing block.


SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES:  Grades will be based on daily assignments, labs, worksheets, quizzes, special projects and tests.



Not all written work will be assigned for a grade.  These papers will be marked with a "√+", "√", or "√-".  


Late work may receive a reduced score.  


Semester grades are averaged from the nine week grading periods.
