EVALUATION
Criteria for arriving at student grades
1. Formal Assessments – Formal Assessments include tests, projects, and quizzes will constitute 65% of the grade.
2. Informal Assessments – Informal Assessments includes labs, homework,classwork, warm ups, and notebook checks will constitute 35% of the grade.
3. Late Work- If the student was present in class on the due date, the work may be given less credit. There will be a 10 point deduction each day. Any work submitted by a student after 5 days cannot receive a grade lower than a 50. If the student was not present in class on the due date because of an excused absence, full credit must be given for the completed work. If the student was not present in class on the due date because of an unexcused absence, the work may be given less credit.
4. Missed Assignments- Arrangements for completing the work should be made within five school days of the student’s return to school. Arrangements should include a schedule for completion of the work. For middle and high school students, the student must initiate the contact with the teacher.
5. 79% Mastery- Students who fail to score at least 79% on an assessment (major tests or formal assessments) will have the opportunity to retake the assessment once. Students will have opportunities during the school day and before/after school to gain the deficit knowledge necessary to demonstrate mastery when the assessment is re-administered. Re-tests should cover the same material, but not be identical to the original test. Tutoring is required before re-testing. The maximum retest score a student can earn is 84%. Re-tests should take place within 5 days of the original feedback date.
