IMS Grading Policy

Iselin Middle School Grading Policy
All student work will be comprised of major assessments (tests and projects) and minor assessments (homework and classwork). All student work will receive a numerical value.
The value assigned to numerical marks shall be as follows:

92-100 Performance significantly above curriculum standard
83-91 Performance above curriculum standard
74-82 Performance at curriculum standard
65-73 Performance below curriculum standard
64 or below Performance significantly below curriculum (failure)

All submitted student work will receive a minimum score of 50, unless determined by the teacher that little or no effort was made by the student, in which case a lower numerical mark may be given and recorded. If work is not submitted, the value earned will be a 0.Furthermore, when calculating marking period grades, minor assessments will count as two-thirds (2/3) of the grade value and major assessments will count as one-third (1/3) of the grade value.
The numerical average of major and minor assignments will be graded according to this scale:
A+ = 98-100 A = 95-97 A- = 92-94B+ = 89-91 B = 86-88 B- = 83-85C+ = 80-82 C = 77-79 C- = 74-76D+ = 71-73 D = 68-70 D- = 65-67standard F = 64 and BelowA mark of 65 or higher shall constitute a passing mark.
In addition to the scale, the following marks may also appear on the report card:
P Pass J Withdrawn, passingI Incomplete L Loss of CreditE Withdrawn, failing X Probation
Plagiarism - Any work that is plagiarized will follow this policy: For the first plagiarism offense, a meeting with guidance, the teacher, and the student will take place. The parent/guardian will be notified and it is expected that the assignment be redone; however, the highest value to be earned after plagiarism is a 74. Subsequent offenses of plagiarism will require a meeting with the parent/guardian and the assignment will receive a 0.
Finally, any situation involving cheating will result in a mark of zero (0).
