Grading Policy

Grading Policy:

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.

• Assignments submitted late are subject to loss of points for each day late. 

  • 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.

  • Any late work submitted after 1 week from original due date will receive a "50" (not including "excused" absences).

  • 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 is absolutely not acceptable and any form of it will be subject to a zero grade with no makeup permitted. Please see WTSD Plagiarism School Policy.
