70%-80% C
60%-70% D
59% and below F

Weighted Grades
Each individual area on the report card will include a combination of grades for daily work and tests. Tests are worth more weight as they show what the kids can do independently. Some assignments may be given a participation grade only. This means if they do the work regardless of right/wrong answers they will be given credit.
Late Work
**Late Work Policy: ONE DAY LATE=10% off final grade. More than one day late-student will receive 0%, but work still needs to be turned in.
