Homework Policy
Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday. Homework is checked for completeness and understanding. Homework is created for practice of the skills we are learning. Please check your child's planner for up to date assignments. We will go over completed assignments in class throughout the week to assist with questions. The homework grade is reflected in the Study Skills section of the report card. Please reach out if your child ever has questions or needs support.
Grading Policy
90-100% A
80-89% B
70-79% C
60-69% D
59% and Below = Failing
You will see a score at the top of your child's paper with the number correct over the total number of items. For tests and major assignments a percentage will be written at the top of the page as well. Papers are passed back daily, or by Friday depending on when they are assigned. I try to grade assignments and enter them into Infinite Campus as soon as possible so students and parents both know their current grades.
Mastery:
I grade to mastery to allow students to learn from their mistakes and better understand the lesson for the future. If a student scores 60% or lower, I will write the word redo on their assignment. They can redo the items missed, and describe their steps with me. I will then average the original score and new score for their updated score. This must be completed within in 48 hours of the students receiving their original grade.
Missed Assignments
For every day missed, your child is given a day to make-up the assignments missed in class. For example, if a student misses two days, they are given two days to make-up any assignments. Please feel free to ask for work if you know ahead of time your child will be out of school.
