Grading Procedures

Grades are determined on a cumulative point system. Major tests and projects count more than daily grades. At the end of each nine weeks, a student’s point total is divided by the total points possible. The resulting percentage is the student’s grade for that grading period. Grades may include writing assignments, objective tests, quizzes, unit tests, analytical assignments, projects, presentations, group work, and other work assigned by the instructor. Semester tests are given in accordance with school board policy. Semester tests count one fifth of the semester grade and are not scaled.

Late Work is not accepted on daily grades. Projects will be deducted a letter grade for each day late, up to 3 days.

Make Up Work is accepted only if the student's absence is excused. Make up work is the students' responsibility and they have up to 5 days to turn in any missed work.
