Dear Parents and Students,

In an effort to best prepare your child for the expectations facing them at the high school
level, we are implementing a grading policy similar--but more fitting for a middle school
student. The following is an explanation of how your child is earning their math grade.

Daily Work (30% of overall grade): ​Each lesson of this new curriculum takes 2 days
on average. Your child has homework assigned each night (usually 10-15 problems).
This online assignment ​is not​ recorded as a grade, but is merely designed as
independent practice. After the lesson is completed, a homework check using 4-5
problems from the online assignments will be completed during class time and is
recorded in PowerSchool as a ​homework/daily work​ grade. Your child is expected to
show all necessary work, labels, etc… to receive full credit for each problem. If your
son/daughter needs to fix this check, that can be done ONLY if they have completed the
computer homework with a grade of 80% or higher. Redos must be done within ​3​ days
of receiving the graded homework check or quarter end (whichever comes first). Each
homework check may be redone ONE time.

Tests (70% of overall grade): ​Tests are given at the end of each chapter. If your child
would like to improve their test score, he/she will need to have ALL computer homework
and chapter review done BEFORE the test was taken or they cannot redo the test.
Redos must be done within ​2 weeks​ of receiving the graded test or quarter end
(whichever comes first). Each test may be redone ONE time.

Thank you for your continued support in educating your child,
