Grading scale is in accordance with WTSD District scale.
Major Assignments = 50% of grade (projects, assessments, participation)
Minor Assignments = 50% of grade (class assignments)
Attendance, punctuality, and attentiveness are basic requirements for an effective and successful learning environment.
Beyond this, each student’s participation will be assessed based on frequency and quality of contribution to our classroom.
Students who are absent from class due to an excused absence have two business days to make up work.
Unexcused late work will be accepted two days from the due date with a 10-point penalty each day. After two days, the assignment will be a zero if not handed in. Late work will not be accepted after two days, resulting in a zero.
Classwork not finished in class becomes homework due by start of next class
Any work assigned, but not submitted will be marked “Missing” in Genesis.
Students are responsible for all assignments including those missed due to absences.
Students absent on the day of an announced assessment will complete their assessment on the day of their return to school.
Makeup time for assignments follows WTSD Homework Policy in the WTSD Parent/Student Handbook:
Students who are absent from school have the responsibility to make up all homework assigned during their absence.
If an absence is "excused", students are permitted two days for each day absent to make up any missed work.
Students missing any work will result in contact home and/or interim being issued.
Plagiarism and or cheating is absolutely not acceptable and any form, including the use of ChatGPT or Artificial Intelligence, will be subject to a zero grade with no makeup permitted. Please see WTSD Plagiarism School Policy.
