Grading
Grades are determined on a cumulative point system. At the end of the nine weeks, a student’s point total is divided by the total possible points. The resulting percentage is the student’s grade for the grading period. Grades include tests, quizzes, projects, and daily assignments. Semester tests are given in accordance with school board policy. Semester tests count one-fifth of the semester grade and are not scaled.
Extra Credit Work is NOT Given
Makeup Work
In general, absent students should call a classmate to get assignments and be prepared for any class work, including tests, quizzes, etc., on the day they return to class. An absence on the day prior to the test shall not excuse students from tests. No makeup tests are given for unexcused absences, nor will other assignments be accepted. Only work missed for excused absences can be made up. The teacher will not give any makeup work to students who have not provided a blue slip indicating an excused absence. Within 2 days of a student’s return to class, he/she should show the blue slip to the instructor before class. Following the handbook guidelines, all makeup work must be completed within 5 days of the student’s return to class.
Please Note
Participation in a school activity that necessitates missing class in NOT considered an absence.; therefore, there is NO 5 day period allowed for making up work. Students are expected to be prepared immediately upon returning to class. Thus, it is crucial that prior to the absence for participation in school activities, a student should see the teacher to make arrangements for work missed,
Makeup Test Grades
It is the responsibility of students to find out about missed tests because the instructor will not remind students of missed work. A grade of Zero is assigned for a test or quiz not taken in class. If the student fails to makeup the test within 5 days of the absence, the zero remains. When making up tests, the student must adjust his/her schedule to meet the time frame of the teacher, this will mean coming before school.
Classroom Rules
In general, I expect students to be prompt and refrain from any behavior inappropriate to instruction within the classroom.
