Classroom/School-Wide Policies:
Grade Weights:
Assessments of Learning - 70% of final grade
Absent Work Policy:
Students will be given the amount of days that they were absent plus one additional day to complete course work that was missed during their absence. For example, if a student missed 3 days of school they would be permitted 4 total school days to turn in work without penalty.
During an anticipated absence, parents must contact the office 3 days prior to their absence if they wish to receive work. Parents may only request to pick up work from the office after their child has been absent for 3 or more days. Students who miss two or less days of school are required to obtain their work upon returning to school. It is the student’s responsibility to acquire, complete and turn in work that was missed during an absence.
*All late work must be turned in with a completed blue absent slip stapled to the front.
Late Work Policy:
Students must turn in all assignments on time so that the learning opportunities involved in completing each assignment are realized. If a student fails to turn in an assignment on time, students are encouraged to make an effort to complete that work in a timely manner for partial credit as indicated below:
* Please note: As we approach the end of a grading period, all late work must be turned in 1 week before the end of the grading period regardless of the deadlines stated above to ensure teachers can accurately and appropriately assess all work in a timely manner. For example, if the first quarter ends on October 10th, all late work must be turned in by October 3rd even if it violates the deadlines stated above.
*All late work MUST be turned in with a completed pink late slip stapled to the front.
Assessment Policy:
Grading Assessments:
The lowest grade to be entered in PowerSchool on an assessment that is fully complete will be a 50%. Assessments that are not completed in full will result in the student receiving an Assessment Referral.
Students will be held accountable to complete all assessments by faculty and staff. This includes having students attend Office Hours, being pulled from Elective courses, Stay Full Day Wednesday Study Hall, and Saturday School for high school students.
If an Assessment has not been completed within one week of the original due date, student will be given an Assessment Referral. At this point, the administrative team will assign the student to a staff member to ensure the Assessment is completed during Stay Full Day Wednesday. Assessments that are not completed and turned in on the due date are subject to a 10 percentage point deduction in grade.
Redoing Assessments:
Any assessment may be redone if the student did not completely master the intended content or skills, and the student has demonstrated sincere effort to prepare for the assessment the first time it was given.
Rigorous relearning or review in preparation for the second attempt will qualify a student to redo an assessment.
Redoing assessments is a privilege, not something to be taken for granted.
*School wide, 92% is considered mastery. Students may only redo an assessment if he/she scored below a 92%. In addition, the highest redo score a student can earn is a 92%.
Students must complete a remediation process.
1) office hours/tutoring attendance to complete relearning/review is documented
2) student has reflected on his/her performance
Required component: Parent signature on the original test/essay
Once the remediation process has been completed, reviewed and is satisfactory, the student is eligible to complete a retake of the assessment during Wednesday stay full day.
This process should be completed after one week, but no longer than two weeks, from the original assessment. With the understanding that students do learn at different paces, this timeline can be flexible as longer as there is constant communication between teacher, student and parents.
