Grading Percentage Breakdown

Student grades will be calculated based on the following weights:

Tests= 40%

Quizzes=30%

Class Work= 20%

Homework= 10%

Homework

Homework will be used to reinforce and extend their learning of the curriculum standards. Homework is graded for completion, not accuracy, at West Lake Middle School and will be factored into the final grade.

Mrs. MacDonald's Grading Policy

Homework is not accepted late for a grade and will only be graded if an honest effort was made to complete it to the best of the student's ability. Students shouldn't just write something on their paper to show completion.

Classwork is accepted late, with a 10 point reduction in grade, per day it is late. Classwork will not be accepted late after 1 week. For example: Class work that is turned in 2 days late, automatically gets reduced to an 80% as the highest grade possible.

All mid-unit assessments will be graded as quizzes

All end of unit assessments will be graded as tests
