Grading policies
Grades will be determined by the following criteria:
Nine Week Average Semester Average
Formative Assessments 25% 9 Week Average 85%
Daily Work 75% Semester Exam 15%
Formative Assessments (CFA): Will cover multiple chapters and consist of multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions. A formative assessment can be retaken if 25% or more of the students fail the exam IAW district policy; highest grade will be recorded.
Daily Work: Daily work will be a compilation of assignments given on a regular basis. It will include labs, quizzes, collaborative work, and other assignments.
Collaborative Platform: Students on our campus will be taught using the collaborative platform which emphasizes communication, collaboration, creativity, and consistency.
Semester Exam: The midterm and final exams will be cumulative tests for each nine-week period. No retests are allowed.
Make-Up Work: It is the student’s responsibility to ask for all make-up work the day they return. Failure to do so may result in loss of credit for the assignment. The teacher will determine the due date for missed assignments.
Example of Semester Average:
Quarter 1 average: 70%
Quarter 2 average: 70%
Average of Q1 & Q2 = 70 + 70= 140 / 2 = 70 * 85% = 59.5 %
59.9% + semester exam (15%)= semester average
Semester exam: 70 * 15% = 10.5
59.9 (average of Q1 and Q2) + 10.5 (15% of semester exam) = 70.4%
