Grading Policy
Students earn numerical grades on a 0-100 scale.
Redo/Retake - students will be provided reasonable and fair
opportunity to retake or redo failing work. In our elementary
schools, the focus is on reteaching to provide the student an
opportunity to learn the objective and demonstrate an
understanding of the concept. This reteaching will occur within 10
days, and corrections may be made to improve a grade up to a
70%.
Number of Grades per Quarter - minimum of 7 grades per
content area
Grading Categories
Classwork/Daily Grades 70% (Homework may be no more
than 10% of this)
Assessments 30%
Late Work - Our goal is for students to learn concepts being
presented in class, regardless of the work being late. A deduction
for late work may be given but will not exceed 10 points. The focus
will be on finding ways to support students in being successful in
work completion.
