Points assigned for homework and classwork are not to exceed 100 points for each grading period. Each nine weeks is worth 20% of the final grade with midterm and final exams worth 10%. The midterm is averaged by adding the 1st nine weeks, 2nd nine weeks and midterm together, then divide by 3. Adjustments may also be made for grading due to extenuating circumstances such as revisions of bell schedules, re-teaching of lessons, etc.
   
  Students’ assessments will be graded and returned to students within 3 days of completion. Once students have submitted projects, research papers, portfolios, etc. by the due date, teachers have 5 days to grade all of the assigned material.
   
  PARTICIPATION GRADES
  In the event a portion of a high school student’s grade for a course is based on his/her participation in the class, this grade will be based on the following:
  

  • PE – students will earn a grade each day for participation in the assigned activities/sports
  • Other Courses – student participation may be determined including but not limited to a child’s contribution to a partner/group activity or project used as an assessment of the student’s level of comprehension.

  Students may be assigned tests on Mondays but are not to be given more than 2 tests per day.
