INBs will be graded at least

once every quarter.
This is a tool.: you create it so
you will use it.

GRADING POLICIES
Absent? Makeup Work?

Check your folder for the WHILE YOU WERE

OUT sheet and any papers you missed.
You have 1 day per absence to complete
make-up work. A zero will be recorded for
any work, including tests, not completed.
Please do not request missing materials
during class. Extended periods of absence
will be handled individually.
NOTE: Absence on the day of an in-class
review for a test DOES NOT excuse the
student from taking the test immediately
upon his/her return.

Late Work

Late work will receive a maximum of 50%

for up to two CALENDAR school days.
Late work is not accepted after 3 days.
NO EXCEPTIONS

Homework

Homework is due at the beginning of the

class and is considered LATE once class
begins. Students must SHOW ALL WORK to
receive maximum credit. Homework with
answers only WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT.

Quizzes

Announced and unannounced quizzes will

be given throughout the quarter.
Students who receive a 0, 1 or 2 on a NONNEGOTIABLE skill must take steps to
remediate these skills ASAP
Once remediation steps are complete,
students can retest the non-negotiable and
replace their initial score with a higher
score.

Tests

There will be 1-3 tests per quarter.

Tests will be composed of Non-Negotiable
